DAVOS, SWITZERLAND — January 18, 2024 - WISeKey International
Holding Ltd, (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), leader in
cybersecurity, digital identity, and Internet of Things (IoT)

constituted by masterpieces of Caravaggio, Beato Angelico, Tiziano,
Tintoretto, Rubens, Rembrandt, Verocchio and Raffaello di Sanzio,
owned by GMA. This cutting-edge project represents a transformative
leap in the promotion, investment, and preservation of art.

heritage, some of which were previously limited to museums and
historical sites. This technological breakthrough enables these
treasures to be viewed and appreciated globally.
