(“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN; Nasdaq: WKEY), a global leader in cybersecurity, digital identity and IoT, today announced that its WISeSat.Space Corp. subsidiary (“WISeSat”) has participated in the latest financing round of FOSSA Systems, S.L. (“FOSSA”), a Spain-based aerospace and defence company specialising in small-satellite development, launch and operations for Low Earth Orbit communications and radio-frequency applications. The investment strengthens a strategic relationship that began in 2021, when WISeKey first partnered with FOSSA to support the development of small-satellite platforms for secure IoT communications from Low Earth Orbit. Since then, FOSSA has contributed to WISeSat’s early satellite-related activities and pilot missions, helping establish technical learning, flight heritage and operational experience that support WISeSat’s planned transition toward larger and more capable satellite infrastructure. A Strategic Moment for European Secure Space Infrastructure The investment comes at a time when Europe is placing increased emphasis on resilient, sovereign and secure space capabilities. Across the public and private sectors, space infrastructure is increasingly seen as a strategic layer for communications resilience, data security, defence readiness, critical infrastructure protection and technological autonomy. Against this backdrop, WISeSat’s continued investment in its FOSSA relationship reinforces its objective to build a European-rooted secure satellite infrastructure platform. WISeSat’s roadmap is focused on providing satellite capacity, orbital infrastructure and related ground-segment capabilities for secure communications, IoT connectivity and future post-quantum and quantum-secure use cases. Expanding on Four Years of Collaboration WISeSat has built an early satellite access base across 25 launched LEO satellites through partner-operated missions, with access to 8 satellites currently in operation. These missions have contributed to WISeSat’s pilot testing, technical validation and flight-heritage programme as the company prepares its next phase of satellite infrastructure. This latest investment reaffirms WISeSat’s confidence in FOSSA’s small-satellite capabilities and strengthens the industrial relationship between the two companies. WISeSat expects this relationship to remain relevant as it evaluates next-generation satellite platforms, future launch requirements, payload integration, ground-segment architecture and mission operations for secure space-based infrastructure. Ecosystem Integration with WISeKey and SEALSQ WISeSat operates within WISeKey’s ecosystem, which combines cybersecurity, digital identity, semiconductors, post-quantum technology and trusted infrastructure. Within that ecosystem, SEALSQ Corp. (“SEALSQ”) (Nasdaq: LAES), a subsidiary of WISeKey, focuses on semiconductors, public key infrastructure and post-quantum technology products. SEALSQ has also established its Quantum Fund, SEALQUANTUM.COM, to support the development of sovereign quantum and post-quantum technology capabilities. While WISeSat’s investment in FOSSA is a WISeSat strategic investment and does not by itself make FOSSA a SEALSQ Quantum Fund portfolio company, it is aligned with the broader WISeKey and SEALSQ objective of developing secure, trusted and quantum-resilient infrastructure across the semiconductor, cybersecurity and space layers. WISeSat’s role in this ecosystem is focused on satellite infrastructure. SEALSQ’s planned Quantum Spatial Orbital Cloud, or QSOC, is expected to be a SEALSQ-owned quantum and quantum-resilient initiative intended to use WISeSat satellite capacity and infrastructure as part of a future orbital layer for quantum key distribution (“QKD”), quantum random number generation (“QRNG”), post-quantum identity and other secure communications services. Any such use would remain subject to definitive agreements, technical validation, financing, regulatory approvals, launch cadence and customer demand. Carlos Moreira, Founder and CEO of WISeKey, said: “FOSSA has been a key industrial partner in in the early development of WISeSat’s satellite capabilities, providing critical technical expertise and flight heritage as we established our initial presence in low Earth orbit. This investment reflects our confidence in FOSSA’s platform and our shared vision for scalable, secure satellite infrastructure. As we transition from pilot missions to a more advanced and integrated orbital architecture, strengthening this relationship is an important step in de-risking execution and accelerating our roadmap.” Mr. Moreira continued, “At the same time, we see a clear and growing market opportunity as Europe prioritizes sovereign, resilient and secure space-based communications. By combining WISeSat’s satellite infrastructure roadmap with WISeKey’s Root of Trust and SEALSQ’s post-quantum semiconductor capabilities, we are building the foundations for a trusted European space-technology platform designed for the next era of secure communications. We believe this integrated approach positions us to capture long-term value in secure communications, IoT connectivity and future quantum-resilient applications.” Julián Fernández, CEO of FOSSA Systems, said: “FOSSA and WISeSat have worked together since the early stages of WISeSat’s satellite roadmap. We welcome WISeSat’s continued support as part of our Series B financing round and look forward to exploring further cooperation around small-satellite infrastructure, secure communications and future mission capabilities.” About FOSSA Systems FOSSA Systems specializes in satellite-based communications and intelligence solutions for industrial and defense applications.
