SEALSQ and Seoul Metropolitan Government Partner to Establish Post-Quantum Semiconductor Research and Design Center.

SEALSQ Corp has signed an MoU with the Seoul Metropolitan Government to establish a Post-Quantum Semiconductor Personalization, Research and Design Center in Seoul. The center will research, design, and test quantum-resistant cryptographic keys and identities for semiconductor chips, ensuring devices are secured against future cyberattacks. The project aims to leverage RISC-V chip architectures with embedded post-quantum cryptography and strengthen South Korea's leadership in semiconductors and space innovation. The global PQC market is projected to grow significantly, with the Asia-Pacific region, particularly South Korea, leading as a testbed for quantum key distribution and secure communications infrastructure.
