WISeKey International Holding Ltd. 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.
