From Switzerland to orbit, we have taken a critical step toward a sovereign satellite constellation. This week SEALSQ signed a binding letter of intent with WISeSat.Space to acquire capacity on 12 satellites, together with mission control, ground infrastructure and operational services. The transaction, estimated at around $15 million over the next 18 months, builds on SEALSQ's recent $10 million PIPE investment in WISeSat.Space and lays the foundation of QSOC, our Quantum Spatial Orbital Cloud.
This is a disciplined approach to building space infrastructure. WISeSat.Space supplies, launches and operates the satellites and ground segment, while SEALSQ develops the security services layer on top, creating a potential new source of recurring subscription revenue from governments, financial institutions, defense organizations and critical-infrastructure operators. Each further step will be aligned with technical validation and customer demand.
During recent meetings in the United States with space-focused investment groups, one conviction kept coming up: the future of space is hybrid. Large public constellations such as Starlink bring global reach and bandwidth, while private sovereign constellations like QSOC, built on ultra-secure satellites with post-quantum cryptography and quantum capabilities, bring control over identity, keys and access. Just as companies on Earth run both public and private clouds, organizations will choose their lane in space according to the sensitivity of what they operate.
Our ambition is to extend trust from the semiconductor to the satellite, through the ground station, and to every device that connects to the network. In the quantum era, sovereignty is not only about owning bandwidth. It is about controlling your keys.

Space cybersecurity is becoming a critical foundation of the global digital economy—and a growing opportunity for WISeSat.Space.

MarketsandMarkets estimates the global market at $5.52 billion in 2026, reaching $8.59 billion by 2031. Fortune Business Insights projects a larger market, growing from $6.29 billion in 2026 to $12.89 billion by 2034. While their estimates differ, both point to sustained demand for protecting space infrastructure. (marketsandmarkets.com⁠, fortunebusinessinsights.com⁠)

The threat extends across the entire communications chain: satellites, ground stations, user terminals, cloud platforms and connected devices. ETH Zurich’s Space Cyber Threat Intelligence: Threat Landscape Report 2025 identified 407 cyber incidents affecting 183 space-related entities and involving 139 threat actors. All observed incidents targeted systems on Earth or organizational IT environments. Limited onboard detection means that the absence of reported attacks in orbit should not be confused with an absence of risk. (research-collection.ethz.ch⁠)

The 2022 attack on Viasat’s KA-SAT network demonstrated the consequences: disruption affecting thousands of customers in Ukraine and tens of thousands elsewhere in Europe, without the satellite itself being compromised. (viasat.com⁠)

This is where WISeSat.Space, working with SEALSQ and WISeKey, brings practical value. Our approach connects satellite infrastructure with hardware security and trusted digital identity. SEALSQ secure elements protect cryptographic keys inside devices, while WISeKey’s public key infrastructure manages identities and certificates throughout their lifecycle. Together, these capabilities help authenticate connected equipment and protect the integrity and confidentiality of communications. (wisesat.space⁠)

Our post-quantum security roadmap also addresses a longer-term challenge: sensitive communications intercepted today could be stored for decryption by future quantum computers. Integrating quantum-resistant cryptography into space communications is therefore a design priority today. (wisesat.space⁠)

For WISeSat.Space, the mission is clear: make trust, security and sovereign control integral to connectivity—from the chip on Earth to the satellite in orbit.

Tomorrow, November 12, I will be speaking at the BMO Capital Markets Technology and Innovation Leaders Conference at the InterContinental Barclay Hotel in New York City.

I look forward to joining Jonathan Nguyen-Duy, CTO of Arqit Quantum, and Yuping Huang, CEO of Quantum Computing, for a quantum panel moderated by Harsh Kumar, Quantum & Semiconductors Analyst at BMO Capital Markets.

Our discussion will explore the growing role of quantum technologies and the importance of quantum-resilient security in protecting digital assets, financial technologies and AI infrastructure.

I will also share an update on SEALSQ’s Made in USA Quantum Strategy, including our investments in U.S.-based quantum technology companies, expanding strategic partnerships, and plans to localize our Quantum Shield QS7001™ technology in the United States to support domestic quantum-resilient infrastructure.

Throughout the conference, I will meet investors one-on-one to discuss SEALSQ’s strategy and the opportunities emerging at the intersection of secure semiconductors, quantum computing and AI.

Looking forward to the discussions in New York.
