IC’ALPS, a leader in ASIC/SOC design and supply chain management and SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, announced that they are strengthening partnership to face growing demand in the segment.
In 2024, SEALSQ embarked on a strategic initiative to capitalize on its innovative quantum-resistant chip technology. The Company engaged with major electronics manufacturers to explore the development of custom quantum-resistant secure chips based on the QS7001 architecture, tailored to meet specific customer requirements. This move into the post-quantum ASIC segment marked a pivotal advancement in SEALSQ's commercial and industrial strategy, unlocking access to potentially substantial new business opportunities and revenue streams.
Designing ASICs is a long and complex process due to the intricate requirements of customization, rigorous validation, and precision manufacturing required to meet specific application demands. SEALSQ, in collaboration with IC'ALPS, is poised to redefine this process by leveraging IC'ALPS' cutting-edge ASIC design expertise together with SEALSQ's rich security IP portfolio and production know-how. Together, the teams will streamline development timelines and enhance scalability, offering clients accelerated access to high-performance, tailored ASIC solutions for even the most demanding industries. A prime example of this synergy is SEALSQ’s own QVault TPM, the first product born from this collaboration, with initial samples expected as early as Q1 2025.
“This collaboration was a true partnership, with each team bringing its own expertise and approach,” said Lucille Engels, COO of IC'ALPS. “Drawing on our experience, we adapted our methods to meet SEALSQ’s rigorous security standards. This partnership underlines our commitment to supporting our customers in the development of their products”.
“The collaboration between IC’ALPS and SEALSQ exemplifies the dynamic and innovative spirit of the French semiconductor ecosystem,” added Jean Pierre Enguent, CTO of SEALSQ, “This partnership showcases how mid-sized high-tech companies can unite their expertise to fast-track the development of cutting-edge products that not only meet market demands, but rival the capabilities of larger corporations. By combining agility with innovation, we are setting a benchmark for excellence in the competitive global semiconductor industry”.
