SEALSQ unveils $30 million quantum lab with AI expansion plans

GENEVA - SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ:LAES) announced Monday updates on its SEALQuantum.com Lab, revealing a $30 million investment capacity for research at the intersection of quantum computing, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence. The company, currently valued at $391.9 million, maintains a strong financial position with more cash than debt on its balance sheet, according to InvestingPro data.

The company, which specializes in semiconductors and post-quantum technology, has invested in quantum technology startup ColibriTD and acquired semiconductor design service specialist IC Alps to develop customized solutions for semiconductor manufacturing and post-quantum security. With a healthy current ratio of 6.0 and annual revenue of $10.98 million, SEALSQ maintains robust operational flexibility for its expansion initiatives.

A key project highlighted in the announcement includes a collaboration with ColibriTD, announced in June 2025, focused on addressing IR Drop challenges in chip manufacturing at sub-7nm nodes. The partnership aims to leverage quantum-powered mathematical modeling to optimize power distribution in semiconductor production.

"Quantum, cybersecurity, and AI are converging fast, and SEALQuantum.com is where that convergence becomes real," said Carlos Moreira, CEO and founder of SEALSQ, according to the press release.

The lab is developing quantum-resistant cryptographic technologies designed to protect AI models, training data, and inference processes from current and future cyber threats, including those potentially posed by quantum computers.

SEALSQ’s initiatives focus on embedding post-quantum cryptography into secure chips, which the company states will provide protection for applications ranging from multi-factor authentication tokens to healthcare systems and automotive applications.

The announcement indicates the company is positioning itself for what it describes as the "quantum-AI convergence of tomorrow" while addressing current industry challenges in semiconductor design and cybersecurity. Despite current challenges reflected in InvestingPro’s WEAK overall financial health score, analysts anticipate sales growth in the current year.
