Intel shares rise as Elon Musk touts potential Tesla chipmaking deal
Investing.com -- Sealsq Corp (NASDAQ:LAES) stock jumped 10.2% in premarket trading Friday after the company announced its integrated strategy for IC’Alps, the French ASIC design house it recently acquired. The plan positions Sealsq as the only company capable of delivering secure hardware in all forms—Catalog ICs, Custom ICs, and Security IP.
The semiconductor and Post-Quantum Cryptography solutions provider outlined a three-phase roadmap that includes commercializing the first PQC standard chip in the short term, developing custom IC solutions and Quantum ASIC in the mid-term, and providing secure system solutions for next-generation architectures in the longer term.
"With IC’Alps, SEALSQ now bridges the entire secure semiconductor spectrum," said Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ. "This integration accelerates our roadmap toward quantum-resistant systems, combining catalog products, custom designs, and security IP under one roof."
The company’s QASIC initiative will form the cornerstone of its roadmap for Post-Quantum Hardware Security Modules and secure microcontrollers used in critical infrastructures, defense systems, IoT devices, and AI applications.
IC’Alps brings expertise in analog, digital, and mixed-signal custom IPs and ASIC design, with partnerships with leading foundries including TSMC, GlobalFoundries, and Intel Foundry. The first prototype from this integrated roadmap is expected in 2026.
