Geneva, Switzerland; Algeciras, Spain – December 21, 2023:
WISeKey International Holding Ltd. ("WISeKey") (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ:
WKEY), a leader in cybersecurity, digital identity, and Internet of
Things (IoT), has signed an agreement with the Port of Algeciras,
integrating it into the Digital Transformation Consortium of the
container and port logistics sector. This step follows the success
of the agreement with DP World in Dubai, extending the influence of
the WISeSmartContainers Consortium to Algeciras, initially launched
in Dubai.
WISeSmartContainers represents a revolutionary technological
platform in the transport and logistics industry, enabling complete
traceability of container movements and thus facilitating logistics
in ports. With the recent integration of the city of La Línea de la
Concepción and the Free Zone of Cádiz (ZFC), the Consortium
strengthens its capacity to integrate local and global economy
participants into a glocal model. This fosters an environment of a
technological innovation laboratory, allowing the development and
testing of new technologies in the province of Cádiz and its
ports.
This Consortium is now expanding to other international
companies and ports, all in an active process of digital
transformation in preparation for the fourth Industrial Revolution.
WISeKey will provide a detailed presentation of this project in
February at the Port of Algeciras, following its participation in a
roundtable on this topic in Davos.
Carlos Moreira, president of WISeKey and founder of the company,
signed this agreement in Algeciras alongside Gerardo Landaluce,
president of the APBA. The first of these nodes will be established
in Algeciras, specifically dedicated to port logistics 4.0.
Carlos Moreira, President and Founder of WISeKey, shares his
enthusiasm for the strategic collaboration with the Port Authority
of Algeciras, “It is a great satisfaction for me to observe the
union of efforts between WISeKey and the Port Authority of
Algeciras in this pioneering digital transformation project. This
alliance represents not only renewed dynamism for the Campo de
Gibraltar area but also marks the beginning of an era where this
region will position itself as a leading laboratory in digital
innovation. With this collaboration, we are laying the groundwork
to lead a large-scale digital transformation process, opening new
opportunities and establishing a model to follow in the global
technological field. We are on the threshold of turning the Campo
de Gibraltar into an international reference in terms of digital
innovation and progress."
Gerardo Landaluce, president of the APBA, commented, "The firm
commitment of the WISeSmartContainers project to the Bay of
Algeciras, and specifically to the companies and the Consortium
that will develop it, is undoubtedly excellent news. The Port of
Algeciras has been promoting open and collaborative innovation for
years, and a good example and result of this is that two of the
main companies that make up this Consortium, such as Wisekey and
Bernardino Abad, had their first meeting within the recently
created Innovation Committee of the Port of Algeciras, promoted by
our Port Authority. We are convinced that the Port of Algeciras,
due to its size, its characteristics, and its firm commitment to
innovation, is the perfect real-scale laboratory for the
development of this project, which will transform and boost the way
we understand logistics today."
