جنيف، سويسرا / الرياض، المملكة العربية السعودية – 5 يونيو 2024 – أعلنت شركة SEALSQ Corp (“SEALSQ” أو “الشركة”) (NASDAQ: LAES)، وهي شركة تركز على تطوير وبيع أشباه الموصلات ومنتجات الأجهزة والبرمجيات بتقنية PKI وما بعد الكوانتم، وشركتها الأم WISeKey (SIX: WIHN; Nasdaq: WKEY)، الرائدة العالمية في مجال الأمن السيبراني والهوية الرقمية وحلول إنترنت الأشياء (IoT)، عن شراكتها مع جمعية Hashgraph، وهي جمعية سويسرية رائدة في الابتكار الرقمي وحلول تقنية السجلات الموزعة (DLT) عبر شبكة Hedera، لتقود تنفيذ حلول إنترنت الأشياء وDePIN (شبكة البنية التحتية المادية اللامركزية) في المملكة العربية السعودية بما يتماشى مع رؤية السعودية 2030. تهدف رؤية 2030 إلى إنشاء بنية تحتية رقمية متقدمة للمملكة وتعزيز التنافسية الاقتصادية.

أعلنت جمعية Hashgraph مؤخرًا عن إطلاق استوديو التكنولوجيا العميقة بقيمة 250 مليون دولار بالتعاون مع وزارة الاستثمار السعودية، بهدف تطوير الحلول التكنولوجية، بما في ذلك تقنية البلوكشين والذكاء الاصطناعي، للشركات المحلية في السعودية. ستعمل الجمعية بشكل وثيق مع WISeKey وشركائها في السعودية (مجموعة إيه. جي. جفالي وإخوانه) لتقديم تقنية دفتر الأستاذ اللامركزي القوية التي ستعزز أمان وكفاءة تطبيقات وحلول إنترنت الأشياء والبلوكشين وDePIN في جميع أنحاء السعودية ومنطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال أفريقيا.

لتسريع اعتماد التقنيات الناشئة التي تشمل تقنية دفاتر السجلات الموزعة (DLT) مثل هيديرا على مستوى العالم وفي منطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال إفريقيا، يسعدنا دعم نمو حلول DePIN التي توفر بنية تحتية رقمية آمنة وشفافة ومتطورة اللازمة لمستقبل الاقتصادات الرقمية في المنطقة.”

توجد WISeKey في المملكة العربية السعودية منذ عام 2020 من خلال مشروعها المشترك WISeKey Arabia مع شركة التقنيات المتقدمة السعودية (SAT)، وهي شركة مملوكة بالكامل لمجموعة جفالي.

قال كمال يوسف، رئيس جمعية Hashgraph: “كجزء من مهمتنا لتسريع اعتماد التقنيات الناشئة، بما في ذلك تقنية DLT مثل Hedera على الصعيد العالمي وفي منطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال أفريقيا، يسعدنا دعم نمو حلول DePIN التي تقدم بنية تحتية رقمية آمنة وشفافة ومتقدمة، وهو ما تحتاجه الاقتصادات الرقمية المستقبلية في المنطقة.”

أضاف كارلوس مورييرا، الرئيس التنفيذي ورئيس مجلس إدارة SEALSQ: “يسعدنا العمل مع اثنين من قادة الصناعة الرئيسيين في السعودية لتطوير حلول إنترنت الأشياء وDePIN الآمنة لقطاعات التجزئة والمالية والمدن الذكية والرعاية الصحية والصناعة والنقل وغيرها. نحن قادرون الآن على تقديم حل شامل يتضمن الأمن السيبراني والبلوكشين وبنية إنترنت الأشياء التحتية التي تحتاجها رؤية السعودية 2030 للتحول الرقمي وكذلك احتياجات منطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال أفريقيا بشكل عام.”

يُقدر أن سوق إنترنت الأشياء والاتصالات بين الآلات (M2M) في المملكة، الذي يمثل حاليًا 65% من سوق الأمن السيبراني وإنترنت الأشياء في منطقة الخليج، قد وصل إلى 16 مليار دولار في عام 2019، ارتفاعًا من حوالي 4.9 مليار دولار في عام 2014، ومن المتوقع أن يستمر في نموه السريع خلال العقد المقبل، بدعم من خطة الإصلاح الاقتصادي لرؤية السعودية 2030.

تشير DePIN، أو شبكات البنية التحتية المادية اللامركزية، إلى دمج التقنيات اللامركزية مثل البلوكشين وإنترنت الأشياء لإنشاء شبكة بنية تحتية أكثر أمانًا وشفافية وكفاءة. من خلال الاستفادة من تقنية دفتر الأستاذ اللامركزي الخاصة بـ Hedera، ستعمل هذه التعاونات على تعزيز أمان وموثوقية شبكات البنية التحتية المادية، مما يجعلها أكثر مقاومة للتهديدات السيبرانية وأكثر كفاءة في عملياتها.

أعلنت SEALSQ، وهي شركة تابعة لـ WISeKey ورائدة في أشباه الموصلات وتقنية PKI وما بعد الكوانتم، سابقًا عن مبادرة كبيرة لإنشاء مركز اختبار وتجميع أشباه الموصلات المفتوح (OSAT) في السعودية. تم تصميم OSAT لتقديم مجموعة شاملة من خدمات الاختبار، بما في ذلك اختبارات الرقاقات والاختبارات النهائية، بالإضافة إلى خدمات التجميع لمختلف حزم أشباه الموصلات مثل QFN وBGA وWLCSP وغيرها. تشكل هذه المبادرة جزءًا أساسيًا من استراتيجية أكبر تهدف إلى تطوير مراكز تخصيص أشباه الموصلات من خلال الشراكات بين القطاعين العام والخاص (PPP).

تجري SEALSQ حاليًا مناقشات نشطة لإطلاق ثلاثة مشاريع كبرى في أوروبا والشرق الأوسط والشرق الأقصى. ستستخدم هذه المراكز تقنية RISC–V لتصميم الرقائق، مع التركيز على التصنيع المحلي لتلبية أعلى معايير الأمان والشهادات من الهيئات المعترف بها مثل المعايير المشتركة ومعهد NIST.
