WISeKey and SEALSQ, following their 21-year tradition of presenting technological advancements in the Fourth Industrial Revolution at Davos, are pleased to announce their upcoming event in January 2026 on the theme “Convergence.”
Convergence is the defining force of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It represents the merging of once-separate technological domains—such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, blockchain, semiconductors, quantum computing, and space infrastructure—into a single, interconnected ecosystem.
In previous industrial revolutions, progress was driven by individual innovations like steam, electricity, or computing. In contrast, today’s revolution is powered by the synergy of multiple exponential technologies working together. This technological convergence allows machines, networks, data, and human intelligence to interact as a unified system, creating capabilities and efficiencies that no single technology could achieve in isolation.
For WISeKey and SEALSQ, convergence is not an abstract vision—it is an operational reality that connects all their technologies into one synchronized framework of digital trust, defining the company’s next phase of growth.
The WISeKey Group is entering a new growth phase powered by the convergence of its technologies across cybersecurity, semiconductors, blockchain, AI, and space infrastructure. This integration unites all WISeKey Group companies into one cohesive ecosystem of digital sovereignty and trusted innovation.
At the foundation lies the OISTE Foundation, which provides the global Root of Trust and the ethical, legal, and cryptographic governance framework ensuring that every identity and transaction in the WISeKey ecosystem is verifiable and compliant. This trust anchor connects directly to SEALSQ’s secure microcontrollers and post-quantum chips, embedding cryptographic identities in silicon. Each SEALSQ chip carries a digital certificate issued by OISTE, creating a bridge between physical hardware and the digital trust layer.
¬WISeKey’s cybersecurity and IoT platforms extend this identity chain across connected devices and cloud environments. By integrating SEALSQ’s post-quantum hardware and WISeKey’s VaultIC secure elements with cloud-based authentication, encryption, and data integrity services, WISeKey creates a seamless end-to-end trust architecture—from chip to device to cloud to blockchain.
This structure forms the digital nervous system of the WISeKey Group, enabling secure communication and remote management across billions of IoT devices worldwide.
WISeSat.Space adds the orbital dimension to this ecosystem. Its constellation of secure nanosatellites allows trusted device provisioning, key distribution, and data transmission even in remote or disconnected regions. The result is a truly global digital trust network—resilient, autonomous, and borderless. This connectivity layer ensures that WISeKey’s security infrastructure is accessible anywhere on Earth and extends its influence to new markets such as smart agriculture, logistics, defense, and environmental monitoring.
WISe.Art brings tokenization and blockchain-based ownership into this converged model. Each physical or digital asset tokenized through WISe.Art is backed by the same Root of Trust, ensuring authenticity and traceability. The fusion of secure chips, digital certificates, and blockchain tokens creates a “phygital” bridge where the physical and digital worlds merge under the same trust architecture. This mechanism extends far beyond art—into identity, luxury goods, document verification, and industrial assets.
At the intelligence layer, WISeKey’s TransHumanCode AI initiative ensures that this ecosystem evolves responsibly. By embedding ethical AI models trained on human-centered principles, the WISeKey Group positions its technology as both secure and value-driven. This alignment of AI, post-quantum security, and human governance makes WISeKey unique among global technology players.
The convergence of all these layers—Root of Trust, secure hardware, IoT cybersecurity, space connectivity, blockchain tokenization, and ethical AI—creates a powerful growth engine. It transforms WISeKey from a group of specialized companies into a unified platform for digital sovereignty and trusted innovation.
This convergence marks WISeKey’s next phase of expansion: scaling from secure devices to secure ecosystems, from trusted transactions to trusted infrastructures, and from individual technologies to a complete digital trust economy.
Convergence is not just the future of WISeKey—it is the catalyst of its next growth cycle.
