WISeKey International Holding AG and its satellite arm WISeSat announced a strategic cooperation agreement with Kaynes Technology’s satellite subsidiary KSTPL on January 12, 2026. The deal will see KSTPL manufacture WISeSat’s next‑generation satellites in India, positioning the country as a new launch hub alongside the United States.
The partnership embeds SEALSQ’s post‑quantum cryptographic semiconductor technology and WISeKey’s Root of Trust into every satellite, creating a fully quantum‑resilient platform for secure IoT connectivity. This integration is a first‑of‑its‑kind demonstration of quantum‑resistant encryption in orbit, aligning with growing demand for cyber‑secure space assets.
WISeKey’s CEO Carlos Creus Moreira said the collaboration “brings together India’s manufacturing excellence and space ambition with our post‑quantum security and satellite technology, enabling highly secure, resilient satellite platforms at scale.” The agreement supports WISeKey’s plan to accelerate deployment of its 22‑satellite constellation, with a new generation of satellites slated for launch in 2026 and a broader 100‑satellite constellation targeted for 2027.
Financially, WISeKey reported a strong cash position of $124.6 million as of June 2025, providing ample runway for R&D and strategic investments. The company projected full‑year 2025 revenues of $18 million to $21 million and a 2026‑2028 pipeline of $170 million driven by quantum chips, TPM modules, and personalization centers. The partnership is expected to reduce geopolitical risk, lower launch costs, and increase launch cadence, thereby improving long‑term profitability.
The announcement was well received by investors, with analysts noting the strategic expansion into India and the quantum‑resilient satellite platform as key drivers of the positive market reaction. The deal positions WISeKey ahead of competitors in the emerging quantum‑secure space market.
