ALPHA-BLUE-OCEAN
Alpha Blue Ocean, the family office founded by Pierre Vannineuse and financial partner of WISeKey (Tickers: SW: WIHN and US: WKEY), announces the new technological breakthrough of the Swiss group led by Carlos Creus Moreira. On January 13, 2022, WISeKey launched the audacious project to generate the first NFT from space...
On January 13, 2021, WISeKey launched its first WISeSat pico satellite via SpaceX's (*) Falcon 9 rocket as part of the Transporter 3 mission to generate the first NFT from space.
The NFT will be captured by the WISeSat satellite station in La Linea in south of Spain and minted on WISe.ART NFT Marketplace.
Pierre Vannineuse founder and CIO of Alpha Blue Ocean said “Alpha Blue Ocean would like to praise this technological hardware and software achievement by WISeKey's teams. It will allow the NFT ecosystem to evolve towards a truly global constellation by generating the first NFT from space! We are over the moon to have participated in the financing of WISeKey in order to achieve this goal and to see that it has garnered the support of industry giants such as SpaceX (*) which aims to facilitate humanity's conquest of space!"
This operation is the result of recent strategic investments, in particular a stake in FOSSA Systems, the group headed by Julian Fernandez. The WISeSat satellite is a security-hardened FOSSASAT-2E satellite designed to further drive down satellite costs for the already-small CubeSat size.
Amine Nedjai, CEO of Alpha Blue Ocean and all the team would like to congratulate Team WISeKey for this latest achievement which has already entered the annals of history.
Created in 2017, Alpha Blue Ocean is a pioneer and leading stakeholder in alternative finance in Europe, particularly in the life science and technology sector. Over a four-year period, the group founded by Pierre Vannineuse has committed to over €1.5 bn in financial engagements, with the majority invested in cutting-edge industrial technology projects.

Second Front Systems Announces 10 Customers Prepared to Deploy on AWS European Sovereign Cloud via Game Warden® Platform3.12.2025 14:30:00 CET | Press release
Unlocks opportunity for Second Front customers to support European nations with strict data sovereignty requirements. Second Front Systems (2F), a Technology Partner in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partner Network (APN) and Global Security and Compliance Acceleration (GSCA) Program, today announced that ten of its existing customers have prepared for deployment onto AWS European Sovereign Cloud (ESC) via its 2F Game Warden® platform. This builds on Second Front's September announcement that 2F Game Warden will serve as an on-ramp to ESC. Independent software vendors (ISVs) seeking to support European organizations face complex regulatory requirements, including Germany's C5, and the EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and NIS2 Directive. By leveraging 2F Game Warden, ISVs can inherit a number of controls and expedite compliance with security frameworks. This collaboration unlocks a pre-validated solution for ISVs to meet these stringent compliance requirements while maintai
ViaLase Announces First Patient Treated in IDE Clinical Trial Evaluating Its Femtosecond Laser Trabeculotomy for Open-Angle Glaucoma3.12.2025 14:00:00 CET | Press release
Prospective, randomized controlled trial compares novel femtosecond laser procedure to selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), advancing path to US commercialization ViaLase, Inc., a clinical-stage medical technology company pioneering incision-free, laser-based solutions for glaucoma, today announced that the first patient has been treated in its U.S. Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) clinical trial evaluating the company’s femtosecond laser trabeculotomy procedure for the management of glaucoma, a lifelong, progressive, and incurable disease that remains a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. This prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled trial evaluates the ViaLase procedure in comparison to selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), the current standard laser treatment for reducing intraocular pressure (IOP). This trial was designed in consultation with the FDA to achieve clearance and commercialization in the U.S. and thus represents one of the most rigorous e
Winchester Interconnect Launches LiteSPEed™ Cable: Faster, Lighter, Simpler Connectivity for Mission-Critical Systems3.12.2025 14:00:00 CET | Press release
Winchester Interconnect, an Aptiv company and leading supplier of high-performance interconnect solutions, today introduced LiteSPEed™ Cable, a next-generation single-pair Ethernet (SPE) solution that delivers 10-gigabit data rates in a dramatically smaller, lighter design. Built for the increasingly connected and space-constrained environments of aerospace, defense, industrial automation and next-generation mobility, LiteSPEed™ helps customers move more data with less cable, reducing weight, complexity, and cost while increasing system performance and reliability. “As systems become more intelligent and interconnected, engineers need lighter, more efficient ways to deliver power and data,” said Juan Contreres, director of product management. “LiteSPEed™ gives them a rugged, high-speed Ethernet solution that simplifies installation without compromising performance.” With advanced sensors, real-time analytics, and distributed control systems proliferating across industries, cabling has
Owkin Announces International Validation Results of BRCAura: AI-Driven Screening for gBRCA Mutations Directly From Pathology Slides3.12.2025 14:00:00 CET | Press release
Owkin shares promising validation results for BRCAura RUO, a clinical-grade research-use-only AI product designed to screen for germline BRCA1/2 mutations (gBRCAm) directly from digitized breast cancer pathology slides. Breast cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women worldwide. Identifying patients with germline BRCA1/2 mutations is essential for guiding targeted treatment decisions, but testing is not always consistently offered to eligible individuals, and implementation varies between countries. The model concept was initiated as part of Owkin’s ongoing partnership with Gustave Roussy and Centre Léon Bérard through PortrAIt, a French consortium dedicated to advancing precision medicine with AI-enabled digital pathology. Fostered through collaboration with AstraZeneca, as announced in October 2024, the development of BRCAura aims to accelerate and expand identification of BRCA mutations in patients with breast cancer. Strong validation across internationa
