The global post-quantum cryptography market is projected to surge from USD 0.60 billion this year to USD 3.80 billion by 2031, growing at a compound annual rate of 44.5%. Recognizing this rapidly expanding need, SEALSQ Corp. and TechAgency have formed a strategic collaboration to guide organizations through the complex transition to quantum-safe security.

The partnership, steered by the SEALSQ Quantum Center of Excellence in Geneva, offers a comprehensive program spanning initial assessment to full migration roadmap execution. “With NIST and the European Union both setting 2030 milestones, the transition to post-quantum security is not a simple algorithm swap,” says Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ Corp.

SEALSQ and TechAgency Address Post-Quantum Transition Risks

Migration services for post-quantum cryptography are projected to reach USD 7.85 billion by 2036, according to ResearchAndMarkets, reflecting an immediate and escalating demand for expertise in securing data against future quantum threats. This surge in need is being addressed by a new collaboration between SEALSQ Corp. and TechAgency, focused on transitioning organizations from assessment to full implementation of quantum-safe security protocols. The SEALSQ Quantum Center of Excellence is positioned as a key geographic location for post-quantum security expertise, offering a specific base for the initiative’s core operations.

Rolf Gobet, Director, explains that the initial step for any organization is identifying current cryptographic dependencies and potential vulnerabilities. He states, “The first question every organization must answer is simple: where does it rely on cryptography today, and what will be exposed tomorrow? The Quantum Readiness Assessment provides that visibility and a prioritized roadmap, so the migration can be run as a managed program rather than handled as an emergency.” This assessment is designed to move organizations away from reactive, emergency-based upgrades toward a proactive, managed transition. The collaboration aims to address the many-sided nature of post-quantum security, recognizing it as a governance issue as much as a technical one.

James Nauffray, CEO of TechAgency and OAKland Group, notes that quantum readiness is as much a governance question as a technical one. Combining TechAgency’s expertise in data governance, AI and transformation with SEALSQ’s post-quantum technologies allows them to address both sides of the problem for their clients, the company says. This integrated approach combines SEALSQ’s strengths in secure semiconductors, Public Key Infrastructure and digital identity with TechAgency’s capabilities in data management, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.

Organizations must understand where cryptography sits across their infrastructure, their data and their AI systems and change it without disrupting their business. SEALSQ intends to support customers throughout the entire migration process, from budget allocation to the deployment of hardware-backed security solutions, aiming to capture a larger share of this rapidly expanding market. The partnership intends to provide a practical route to a larger share of a market expected to grow more than 40% a year.

Ivy Delaney has been working with neural networks and machine learning since the mid-nineties, back when a couple of hidden layers and a long afternoon of training counted as ambitious. She has watched the field go from academic curiosity to the thing quietly running underneath everything, and she brings that long view to quantum computing. For Quantum Zeitgeist she covers the ground where the two fields meet. That means quantum machine learning and the variational algorithms it leans on, and it also means the less glamorous but more interesting story of classical machine learning already doing real work inside quantum machines, decoding error-correcting codes, calibrating noisy hardware and learning the error models that simulators depend on. She writes about the hardware those algorithms have to run on too, and about the post-quantum cryptography scramble that the same hardware has set off. Her stories typically start with the paper, whether that is peer-reviewed work, conference proceedings or an arXiv preprint, with the source linked so you can hold a claim up against the research it came from. She is unimpressed by benchmarks that will not say what they beat, and by demonstrations that only work in the press release.
