WISeKey International Holding Ltd. (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN,
NASDAQ: WKEY), a global leader in cybersecurity, digital identity,
and Internet of Things (IoT) innovations, operating as a holding
company, today announced that during a meeting held at the
University of Murcia (UMU), attended by the Secretary of State for
Telecommunications and Digital Infrastructures, María González
Veracruz, the Rector Magnificus, José Luján, Professor Antonio
Skarmeta, and representatives from leading Murcian companies a
significant step was taken towards the consolidation of an
ambitious project: the creation of a high-performance
cybersecurity chip design and customization center in the Region of
Murcia.
Antonio Skarmeta UMU professor, Mariola Guevara
Government Delegate in the Region of Murcia, María González
Veracruz Secretary of State for Telecommunications, José Trigueros
CEO of OdinS, José Luján UMU Rector, Miguel Ángel Zamora UMU
professor and Francisco Martínez CIO of TProtege.
This project, supported by the Government of Spain, is an
initiative led by the UMU spin-off company, Odin Solution (“Odin”),
and WISeKey, a globally recognized firm in the field of digital
security. Both companies, along with T-Protege, have joined forces
to develop a semiconductor center that promises to be an
international benchmark in cybersecurity.
The collaboration between WISeKey, Odin, and T-Protege stands
out for its innovative approach and its capacity to establish
international partnerships, driven by its specialization in
cybersecurity research projects. This approach has been crucial for
the project's adherence to the financial instruments of the
Strategic Project for the Economic Recovery and Transformation of
Microelectronics and Semiconductors in Spain (PERTE Chip), an
initiative of the Secretary of State for Telecommunications and
Digital Infrastructures aiming to mobilize 12.25 billion euros by
2027.
The Secretary of State, María González Veracruz, expressed her
satisfaction with the progress of the project, highlighting that
"the Region of Murcia will become the epicenter of chip design and
cybersecurity, marking a milestone in the digital industry and
generating numerous qualified job positions."
The Rector of UMU, José Luján, emphasized the university's pride
in contributing to the project, highlighting the importance of
knowledge transfer to the private sector and public-private
collaboration for the economic and social development of the
region.
Carlos Moreira, representative of WISeKey, participated
remotely, reaffirming his company's commitment to innovation in
digital security and the importance of this center for the
technological future of Murcia and the world.
For his part, José Trigueros, CEO of Odin Solutions, states that
"given the instability of the current geopolitical situation, the
need to strengthen the semiconductor ecosystem in the EU by
reducing external dependencies is clear, as a key step for Europe's
technological sovereignty."
Francisco Martínez Asensio, CIO of TProtege, highlights three
positive consequences for the region: "the creation of a pole of
quality employment, the strengthening of an advanced industrial
sector and a decisive boost to R&D&I, particularly in the
field of regional universities".
This center will not only offer personalized and secure
solutions to customer needs but will also benefit the industrial
sector, public administration, and citizens, facilitating access to
advanced technologies and improving the cybersecurity of critical
systems.
