I honestly don't think it would have the same effect as the Merc announcement did in this current climate. The market was flying when that announcement was made. Look at the Intel partnership. Barely caused a blip on the SP. Shorters are in complete control right now (as they are with many pre revenue stocks atm).
We need licenses and revenue. Fingers crossed the sales team can sign up a few in the next 8 weeks before this quarter is over.

I hope everything works out positively for you.
Like you I'm injured, off work for long time with neck problem, and was hoping BRN would be the answer to not working again (or having the choice when and where to work) That looked the reality this time last year!!!! Fingers crossed BRN can get some market traction this year and share price follows this trajectory. Good luck with the op .

Now fully ITAR compliant, GF’s most advanced manufacturing facility will produce semiconductor solutions for the nation’s most sensitive defense and aerospace applications
Malta, N.Y., February 15, 2021 – GlobalFoundries® (GF®), the world’s leading specialty foundry, today announced a strategic partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to provide a secure and reliable supply of semiconductor solutions manufactured at GF’s Fab 8 in Malta, New York — the company’s most advanced semiconductor manufacturing facility. These semiconductor chips will be used in some of the DoD’s most sensitive applications for land, air, sea, and space systems.
Under the agreement, GF will provide a supply of chips built at Fab 8 on its differentiated 45nm SOI platform. The agreement is made possible by Fab 8’s compliance with U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and highly restrictive Export Control Classification Numbers under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR).
The new supply agreement builds upon the longstanding partnership between the DoD and GF to provide chips for defense, aerospace, and other sensitive applications. GF currently supplies the DoD with chips manufactured at GF’s other on-shore facilities, Fab 10 in East Fishkill, New York, and Fab 9 in Burlington, Vermont.
“GLOBALFOUNDRIES is a critical part of a domestic semiconductor manufacturing industry that is a requirement for our national security and economic competitiveness,” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who successfully passed new federal semiconductor manufacturing incentives in last year’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). “I have long advocated for GLOBALFOUNDRIES as a key supplier of chips to our military and intelligence community, including pressing the new Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, to further expand the Department of Defense’s business with GLOBALFOUNDRIES, which will help expand their manufacturing operations and create even more jobs in Malta.”
In a supporting statement from the U.S. Department of Defense, “This agreement with GLOBALFOUNDRIES is just one step the Department of Defense is taking to ensure the U.S. sustains the microelectronics manufacturing capability necessary for national and economic security. This is a pre-cursor to major efforts contemplated by the recently passed CHIPS for America Act, championed by Senator Charles Schumer, which will allow for the sustainment and on-shoring of U.S. microelectronics capability.”
“GLOBALFOUNDRIES thanks Senator Schumer for his leadership, his ongoing support of our industry, and his forward-looking perspective on the semiconductor supply chain,” said Tom Caulfield, CEO of GF. “We are proud to strengthen our longstanding partnership with the U.S. government, and extend this collaboration to produce a new supply of these important chips at our most advanced facility, Fab 8, in upstate New York. We are taking action and doing our part to ensure America has the manufacturing capability it needs, to meet the growing demand for U.S. made, advanced semiconductor chips for the nation’s most sensitive defense and aerospace applications.”
The first chips from this new agreement are targeted to begin delivery in 2023. GF is in ongoing discussions with the DoD regarding Trusted Accreditation for Fab 8.
GF employs nearly 3,000 people at Fab 8, and has invested more than $13 billion in the facility. The company recently announced a land purchase option to provide additional flexibility to expand Fab 8’s footprint to support growing demand from the U.S. government and industry customers. In total, GF employs more than 7,000 people across the U.S., and over the past 10 years has invested $15 billion in U.S. semiconductor development.

Interesting Global Foundries announcement by BRN.
In some other news:
2 minute read August 9, 20221:47 AM GMT+10Last Updated 6 months ago
Aug 8 (Reuters) - Qualcomm (QCOM.O) agreed to buy an additional $4.2 billion in semiconductor chips from GlobalFoundries's (GFS.O) New York factory, bringing its total commitment to $7.4 billion in purchases through 2028, according to a filing released Monday.
The announcement expands on a prior $3.2 billion purchasing agreement between the two companies and will produce chips for use in 5G transceivers, Wi-Fi, automotive and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity.
U.S. chipmaker Qualcomm, which specializes in mobile phone chips, was one of GlobalFoundries' first customers to sign a long-term agreement in 2021, covering multiple geographies and technologies, according to a press release published by the firms.
GlobalFoundries Chief Executive Thomas Caulfield said in a statement that having Qualcomm as a long-term customer of its upstate New York factory would help, along with federal and state funding, to expand the company's U.S. manufacturing footprint.
The U.S. Senate last month passed sweeping legislation to subsidise the domestic semiconductor industry, providing about $52 billion in government subsidies for semiconductor production and an investment tax credit for chip plants estimated to be worth $24 billion. read more
"With major new federal incentives for microchip manufacturing in the United States, I look forward to many more announcements like this to come," said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
The European Union has also eased funding rules for innovative semiconductor plants to boost its chip industry and cut dependence on U.S. and Asian suppliers.
Intel and GlobalFoundries have announced expansion plans on both continents to benefit from the subsidies, with GlobalFoundries partnering with STMicroelectronics (STM.BN) to build a $5.7 billion semiconductor factory in France. read more
The announcement came as the heads of GlobalFoundries, Applied Materials (AMAT.O) and carmakers Ford Motor and General Motors Co (GM.N) were set to meet at a closed-door summit with U.S. government officials on Monday to discuss administration plans to invest in semiconductors. read more
GlobalFoundries is the world's third-largest foundry by revenue behind Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (2330.TW) and Samsung Electronics Co Ltd , but ranks second when stripping out Samsung's foundry business that makes chips for other elements of the South Korean firm.
The company, which is majority owned by Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund Mubadala Investment Co (MUDEV.UL), raised $2.6 billion in an initial public offering last year on the Nasdaq.

Ford chip deal with GlobalFoundries shakes up automotive
Ford has signed a deal for chip production with GlobalFoundries that is likely to see Ford buy an ASIC design house
www.eenewseurope.com
Highlighting the signficant shift in the automotive semiconductor supply chain, Ford has signed a ground-breaking deal to buy chips directly from foundry GlobalFoundries in the US that could well lead to it buying an ASIC design house.
The strategic collaboration aims to advance semiconductor manufacturing and technology development within the US and boost chip supplies for Ford and the US automotive industry. This follows suggestions by General Motors that it also would buy chips directly.

Has it been mentioned on the ASX as an announcement? Anywhere? Anyone who has shares in BRN (mostly) hold them on the ASX.
Making an announcement through places like Newswire or tweeting does not reach everyone invested in BRN! Whereas an announcement through the ASX should reach most people. This is where it should be!
Edit: Sorry I'm being very negative today. It will be different tomorrow.
Maybe we got a yellow card for the Ford incident.

I agree. TSMC handled the first iteration of Akida and established a partnership with us to promote/sell our product. Now a change of horse, mid race as it were, to Global Foundries. Things that make you go "hmmm". Maybe something to do with these??
Its also interesting that GF took legal action against TSMC in 2019 for patent infringement. No love lost between the 2 obviously, so the likelhood of a tripartite relationship seems unlikely.
Might be drawing some long bows here so better DYOR.
I would like to say, I have invested in this company having done due diligence and am pleased with the 4C they released. It shows steady growth built on strategy and skilled business acumen. I not only have approached my investment in Brainchip from an analytical perspective but also a modicum of faith. Happy am I for I have few wants and wealthy am I for I have patience,
