“The AI age is upon us. And the quantum future is not far behind. The world needs an ASIC that can protect us from new cybersecurity challenges.”

Boudewijn Wijnands, founder and CEO at Fortaegis, explains why their partnership with IC-Link is crucial for rapidly scaling its products.

Fortaegis’s mission is to embed security directly into the physics of compute, without concessions on performance. To achieve this, they need to develop custom chips in advanced nodes, where foundry access can be a challenge.

“We need a partner that can scale products on 5 nm," says Boudewijn, "and support our aggressive roadmap beyond that. With multiple chips coming out in the next couple of years, we’re counting on IC-Link to get them there fast while guaranteeing the highest quality. This enables us to deliver the best products to our customers."
