CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts, March 31, 2011 - Top government officials, entrepreneurs and academics will gather at MIT
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology) along with an audience of 500
business leaders and scholars on April 2, 2011 to discuss "Latin America:
from Potential to Reality". This is the theme of the XIV MIT Sloan School
Latin American Conference in partnership with Wisekey, Forum das Americas and

For more than 10 years, the MIT Latin Conference has emerged as a
landmark event that brings together the most influential leaders of Latin
America.

in management theory and practice. Wisekey is a world leader in digital
identification, E-security and cloud computing. Brasilinvest is Brazil's
pioneer merchant bank. Forum das Americas is a think-tank concentrating on
issues of hemispheric cooperation and development.

MIT Sloan Dean David Schmittlein, Brasilinvest and Forum das Americas
Chairman Mario Garnero and Wisekey founder and Chairman Carlos Moreira will
present the opening remarks. Marcos Troyjo, Brazil CEO of Wisekey and founder
of the Center for Business Diplomacy, will be the Conference Rapporteur.

    Keynote addresses will be given by:
    Angel Gurria: Secretary-General of OECD

    Sergio Cabral Filho: Governor of the state of Rio de Janeiro

Panel Speakers include Enrique Bascur (Citigroup), Minister Corrado Clini
of Italy and Paulo Roberto Costa, Chief Downstream Officer of Petrobras.

"MIT is honored to associate with Wisekey, Brasilinvest and Forum das
Americas in welcoming such an extraordinary group of speakers. Latin America
has definitely caught the world's attention," said Dean David Schmittlein.

Carlos Moreira adds that "partnering with MIT is a privilege for
tech-intensive companies like Wisekey undergoing strong expansion towards
Latin America. Wisekey's dialogue with MIT will help us improve cutting-edge
technologies with widespread social applications."

For Mario Garnero, "MIT represents the pinnacle of knowledge and informed
opinion-making at a global level. Debates will produce positive multiplying
effects for all who wish to understand and do business in Latin America."

Alex Kuperman, co-president of the Conference on behalf of MIT MBA
students, says that "the MIT community is delighted to learn and interact
with Latin American leaders."

The Conference will be preceded by a special session hosted Friday April
1 at MIT's legendary Media Lab in association with Wisekey, Brasilinvest and
