what happened

WISeSat.Space said its business combination with Columbus Acquisition Corp., approved by CAC shareholders Sept. 30, closed Oct. 1, with shares beginning to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker SAIQ on Oct. 2. WISeSat, a subsidiary of WISeKey, builds satellite infrastructure for secure, IoT-focused communications combining satellite connectivity with cybersecurity and digital-identity technology; the combined company will operate under the brand SPACEAIQ while keeping the WISeSat brand for satellite services.

why it matters

The listing gives WISeSat public-market currency to fund its satellite-IoT security business, joining a run of small satellite-IoT and space-services companies reaching Nasdaq or NYSE via SPAC this year, including NorthStar Earth & Space's close one day earlier.
