Tech and Fest 2026: SEALSQ Leads post-quantum cybersecurity
Tech and Fest 2026
SEALSQ Corp., a semiconductor and post-quantum technology leader, will headline Tech&Fest 2026 in Grenoble, France. On February 4-5, 2026, the business will submit its “Secure Sovereign Quantum” infrastructure plan to protect European digital interests from quantum computing's existential risks.
The Coming “Quantum Apocalypse”
Digital security has used RSA and ECC for decades. Due to rapid growth, a strong quantum computer may break encryption in seconds. This vulnerability may cause a “Quantum Apocalypse” that compromises private identities, financial systems, and sensitive government data.
SEALSQ's Tech&Fest 2026 participation addresses this issue. The business is using Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) in their semiconductor architecture to create a “Quantum Shield” to protect the world's most critical assets. This includes:
Smart Energy and Power Grids: Preserving modern utilities.
Healthcare Systems: Safeguarding medical devices and patient data.
EV and automotive charging: Safety of linked vehicles and networks.
Defense and IT Infrastructure: Protecting national security and communication networks. SEALSQ Latest News: India Adds Post-quantum Semiconductors
Tech&Fest 2026: Sovereignty Stage
Tech&Fest 2026 in Grenoble's Alpexpo is France's biggest innovation conference. The 2026 event will draw 20,000 individuals and 250 corporate, academic, and government leaders.
SEALSQ CEO Carlos Moreira will lead a high-stakes morning quantum cybersecurity discussion. Moreira will give the keynote, Technological Sovereignty in the Quantum Era. The EU must generate local, “sovereign” technology, as this talk will demonstrate. SEALSQ is building a European post-quantum technology stack by integrating France's secure semiconductor expertise with new innovations, according to Moreira. This strategy reduces semiconductor supply chain dependence on Asia or North America.
French Engineering for 30 Years
Three decades of industrial history solidify SEALSQ's “French technology champion” status. SEALSQ France employs 200 specialists in Meyreuil, Grenoble, and Toulouse.
The company's engineering roots are in Gemplus, a 1980s smart card pioneer. This tradition is exemplified by General Manager Bernard Vian, who transformed the company from a specialist hardware supplier to a Nasdaq-listed giant worth $1 billion. SEALSQ joined WISeKey Worldwide Holding Ltd. in 2015, which accelerated its global expansion and contributed to its 2023 Nasdaq IPO.
Quobly Partnership and Strategic Acquisitions
SEALSQ has taken many bold steps to strengthen the quantum ecosystem:
SEALSQ acquired Grenoble-based IC'Alps in August 2025 to boost its custom ASIC design capabilities.
SEALSQ and Grenoble-based silicon-based quantum computing company Quobly signed an MoU in January 2026. This potential strategic investment combines Quobly's processing power with SEALSQ's “secure-by-design” expertise. Establishing a sovereign quantum computing platform targeted for industrial and defense applications ensures that encryption-cracking computers are secure.
Global Goals: Indian Market
SEALSQ is focusing on European sovereignty while exporting its knowledge. The company formed SEALKAYNESQ Ltd. in India with Kaynes SemiCon after signing a final contract.
This company develops and customizes sovereign post-quantum semiconductors for India's security. By creating safe test and customisation platforms in India, SEALSQ is showing that its technical sovereignty paradigm may help other nations secure their digital boundaries.
Hardware Portfolio: “Device-to-Cloud” Security SEALSQ will showcase its latest certified gear at Tech&Fest 2026, where it is a gala supper sponsor. Their value proposition uses “Device-to-Cloud” authentication with hardware-based foundations of trust to survive quantum attacks. Highlighted products:
Future Built on Security
As the world prepares for the "quantum leap," SEALSQ's participation in Tech&Fest 2026 calls for industry readiness. With its French industrial heritage and forward-looking research, the organization is establishing a sovereign digital world and predicting the future of cybersecurity.
While previous cryptographic methods become obsolete, PKI, provisioning services, and quantum-resistant chips protect organizations. Through silicon-level PQC integration, SEALSQ protects sensitive data in consumer IoT, logistics, and telecoms industries for the future.
