AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoCybersecurity & Identity: WISeKey named Alexander Hirsch as Group Chief Marketing Officer to coordinate global go-to-market across post-quantum security, semiconductors, quantum tech, satellite comms, and digital identity. Drone Supply Chains & Trade Policy: The US rolled out Section 232 tariffs on unmanned aircraft systems: 100% for drones over 25kg, thermal-imaging drones, docking stations, and key components; 25% for smaller drones; with lower caps (notably 15% for qualifying EU/Switzerland/Liechtenstein and others) and staggered start dates from Sept. 3, 2026. Liechtenstein in the Crosshairs: Liechtenstein is explicitly included in the reduced-rate group for qualifying imports, but only if “substantially all” critical inputs meet origin rules—raising compliance pressure for suppliers. EU Sanctions Alignment: Eight non-EU countries, including Liechtenstein, agreed to align with the EU’s latest Belarus sanctions, expanding controls on military-tech and crypto-asset-related activity. Finance (Local Impact): LGT pushed assets past CHF 400bn for the first time, citing strong Asia momentum and double-digit profit growth in H1 2026. Tech Talent & Governance: A Vatican finance shakeup appoints Liechtenstein’s Princess Gisela Bergmann to the Council for the Economy, adding engineering and wealth-management experience to budget oversight.
