Sealsq Corp (NASDAQ:LAES) shares climbed 10.2% in premarket trading on Friday after the company revealed its integrated strategy for IC’Alps, the French ASIC design house it recently acquired. The plan positions Sealsq as the only firm able to provide secure hardware solutions across Catalog ICs, Custom ICs, and Security IP.
The semiconductor and post-quantum cryptography specialist presented a three-stage roadmap: launching the first PQC standard chip in the short term, expanding into custom IC solutions and Quantum ASIC in the medium term, and delivering secure system solutions for next-generation architectures over the long 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 said its QASIC initiative will serve as the foundation for its post-quantum hardware security modules and secure microcontrollers, designed for critical infrastructure, defense, IoT devices, and AI applications.
IC’Alps adds deep expertise in analog, digital, and mixed-signal custom IPs and ASIC design, supported by partnerships with top-tier foundries including TSMC, GlobalFoundries, and Intel Foundry. The first prototype from this new integrated roadmap is expected in 2026.
