Was watching a recent video last night up on TechUK which had these speakers.

Event round-up: Neuromorph-what? What is neuromorphic computing and what does this mean for the future of compute?
Speakers included:
- Jim Scott, Head of Strategic Engagement, Lockheed Martin
- Yulia Sandamirskaya, Applications Research Lead, Neuromorphic Computing Lab, Intel Labs
- Aidong Xu, Head of Semiconductor Capability, Cambridge Consultants
- David Halliday, Chair of Research Committee Intelligent Systems and Nano-science, University of York
On 29 November, techUK held the online event: Neuromorph-what? What is neuromorphic computing and what does this mean for the future of compute? This event was part of techUK's Future Visions series and the Future of Compute Week

Was curious if anything came up but understandably, given they were mostly research / academia, there wasn't much about commercial offerings and also a lot of what they were discussing was on hardware primarily and overlapped into software at times.
Lockheed appearing to have a lot of focus in photonic neuromorphic.
When commercial chips did come up in the Q&A at the end, the speakers did confirm there are commercial chips out there but wouldn't name names...guess they have to remain independent to a point.
Though, it was nice to see within the Intel slides we get a mention and also an insight into a sample of some of the INRC parties.
We know that the INRC is predominantly Unis etc for the research component obviously, however, was interesting to see a couple of commercial entities in there as well that you could expect will get exposure to Akida now if requested.
Also, there are apparently 170 groups in the INRC and the slide samples a handful, so how many more are commercial entities
