SEALSQ Leads €130 Million Series A for Quobly to Push Secure Silicon Quantum Chips
The investment ties SEALSQ’s post‑quantum hardware and board seat to Quobly’s industrialization plan and signals deeper European coordination to build trusted quantum infrastructure.
Overview
- SEALSQ announced Wednesday that it participated as a lead investor in Quobly’s €130 million Series A, a round led jointly by STMicroelectronics, Isalt and BPI France.
- The deal was made through the SEALSQ Quantum Fund, which the company says has grown from an initial $20 million allocation to $200 million and has deployed roughly $30 million before this transaction.
- SEALSQ and Quobly said they will integrate Quobly’s FD‑SOI silicon quantum processors with SEALSQ’s post‑quantum chips and QVault TPM to build a hardware Root‑of‑Trust that aims to protect systems from chip level up.
- Carlos Moreira, SEALSQ’s CEO, will join Quobly’s board to deepen strategic and technical alignment on product roadmaps and security design choices.
- Markets reacted mildly positive to the announcement with LAES shares rising intraday, while both companies stress that industrial-scale production and commercial secure‑by‑design quantum systems remain developing objectives.
