@FrangipaniNo way! You need to carefully reread Frontgrade Gaisler’s LinkedIn post (which is not about embedded world 2024, by the way, just in case you missed that).
It literally says:
“Dr. Jonathan Tapson from BrainChip visited our booth at Space Symposium to discuss neuromorphic processing for space applications. They have been developing and continuously improving their technology for extremely efficient AI inference and learning.”

Do you really believe our company would send someone who doesn’t work for them (in what capacity remains to be seen) to a Colorado Springs conference they are not involved with in order to discuss serious business matters with a Swedish company that we know is planning on integrating our IP into their hardware very soon and possibly also discuss our disruptive tech with interested third parties that are paying the Frontgrade Gaisler booth a visit?!
Just because he is an expert on neuromorphic hardware, happens to have known our CTO for years and conveniently lives in the same US state the Space Symposium is currently taking place (I suppose living 300 miles away from the venue counts as “just around the corner” within the Universe scheme of things)?
Think about it: Alf Kuchenbuch, our Munich-based VP of Sales EMEA could hop on a short flight to Gothenburg any time to talk to Sandi Habinc or someone else from Frontgrade Gaisler in person.
Jonathan Tapson’s lanyard says “Visitor” as he was neither an attendee nor a speaker at the Space Symposium, and BrainChip isn’t an exhibitor either (whereas Frontgrade Gaisler has a booth). I scrolled through the Space Symposium’s Flickr photostream and picked out two pictures to demonstrate what I mean (the conference coincided with the eclipse on April 8).

If you ask me, the Frontgrade Gaisler LinkedIn post’s wording and accompanying photo are unambiguous. All that’s missing is some sort of confirmation by BrainChip or Jonathan Tapson himself.
From Brainchips IR Dept, "Dr J Tapson is engaged with Brainchip as a part-time consultant"
