A very exciting company to watch: Alat

It is Saudi Arabia's ambition to build a world-class manufacturing hub in the Kingdom through next-generation technologies and sustainable practices.

Alat, headquartered in Riyadh, has been established to create a global champion in electronics and advanced industrial segments and mandated to create world class manufacturing enabled by global innovation and technology leadership. Alat is partnering with global technology leaders to transform industries like semiconductors, smart devices and next-gen infrastructure while establishing world class businesses in the Kingdom, powered by clean energy.

They have received $100 Billion USD in funding from the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF).

Alat is led by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud who is the Crown Prince and Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

On the Alat Executive Leadership team is Ross Jatou, President of their Semiconductors Business unit. He only formally announced his appointment yesterday.

Ross came from Onsemi where he was for 8 years and the Senior Vice President and General Manager of their Intelligent Sensing Group. He was with Nvidia for 14 years prior to Onsemi.

Ross is well aware of BrainChip where he re-posted this on LinkedIn 3 weeks ago.

Alat has partnered for a joint venture with Softbank Alat and SoftBank Group form a strategic partnership to manufacture groundbreaking industrial robots in the Kingdom | SoftBank Group Corp.

“The new JV will build industrial robots based on intellectual property developed by SoftBank Group and its affiliates that will perform tasks with minimal additional programming, that are ideally suited for industrial assembly and applications in manufacturing and production. The robot manufacturing factory that the JV will create in the Kingdom is a lighthouse factory, that will use the latest technology to manufacture unprecedented next generation robots to perform a wide variety of tasks”. The first factory is targeted to open in December 2024.


This is what Alex Divinsky (Ticker Symbol You) posted about Alat earlier today.

Chippers, it would be massive if we got in with Alat !

And I’ve got positive vibes about it.

The November 2022 entry in Slide 15 (RadNeuro Maturation Timeline) refers to "Rad-tolerant FPGA neural cores developed with selected partners (eg, Brainchip)".

Slide 16 is a continuation of Slide 15, and gives the timeline for fabrication of a full-scale Rad-Tolerant Neuro-processor as 36 months possibly with September 2023 as the datum, which is a long time to hold one's breath.
View attachment 57829 Given that Akida already exists, all that is required is for Vorago to tweak the IP by adjusting a few dimensions, or even just specifying a larger chip architecture, eg, 48 nm.

If it is just a matter of increasing the architecture, then the tape-out is already there.

Big problem is the resale of all these tesla’s sold last year.

Everyone loves the FBT exceptions by government on electric vehicles until people try to sell in 3-4 years time.

Watch the resale value in 3-4 years.

People are in for huge shock

Electric vehicle manufacturing could save $$$$ in production costs using Akida.

Let’s see if they wake up

Hyper Technology "anything" are a nightmare, when they start going wrong...

That's why I like analog.

It's also pretty stupid, buying a new car, in my opinion, unless you have plenty of money and enjoy throwing it away, in lost value (unless you buy something exotic and then you are more a custodian, than an owner).

The worst thing to do, is buy one on credit and have the debt higher than the value of the car, well before you've paid it off.

If you are the type, who is continually trading up, "Congratulations"
You are helping Earth move closer to a quicker death and abiding by the Laws of Consumerism.

It used to be the sporty cars that had gauges, telling you what was going on with the vehicle and the rest had "idiot lights"..
If an engine oil or temperature light came on, it was usually too late..

Now cars have so much going on, if they had analog gauges, the dash would resemble an old airplane cockpit, with the required training to make sense of it.

Now everything is so complex, that everyone are "idiots" in context.

I agree, the cost of fixing them when they go wrong, will ensure lower resale value.

Having some brains in the system, for knowledge of early preventative maintenance and actually "informing the driver" or service center of things that need attention, is really the only way to go, with everything becoming so complex, with these technologies.

Australian investors are not able to participate in the “upswing” being experienced by Northern Hemisphere stocks due to a lack of technology exposure, says CommSec’s Tom Piotrowski.

Earnings numbers from Nvidia exceeded the market’s expectations by a considerable measure, up 16.4 per cent.

US markets also pushed on to new record highs.

“The benchmark was set very high,” Mr Piotrowski said.

“It was eclipsed by Nvidia there - forward-looking estimation of how the next quarter is going to go was about 17 per cent better than what the market had anticipated.

“Sadly, for Australian investors, we don’t have that technology exposure in the local share market, so we’re not participating in that upswing that we’ve seen for Northern Hemisphere stock.”

Presented by CommSec.


Commsuc failed to mention the recent huge upswing for Brainchip and the only ASX holy grail. W.A.N.C.A's

Tom is very well aware of Brainchip and has done podcasts with Sean. I believe what he is referring to is the market exposure.

Once a few names roll in we will get that market exposure and that's when we will experience the "real" upswing.

Humble genius
I have three large fig trees and I don’t need Akida to work out who is taking my figs. The second I open the house or yard doors my two black Labradors are out like a massive vacuum cleaner hoovering up those fallen and then trying to be a kangaroo standing on two back legs chomping on those they can reach.

It’s healthy for them .

Hi Terroni

Great sleuthing. Your post is a must read even if you have to find a PC as I did.

We can be certain of four things.

1. Those in the seats of power for this project have knowledge of Brainchip and AKIDA.

2. The issue Brainchip spoke of that they had faced was near enough was good enough does not apply here as they are starting from the ground up with a charter to be state of the art and a world leader when they commence producing their robotics.

3. ARM states publicly that by adding AKIDA to their IP you go state of the art with performance.

4. AKIDA 2.0 is arriving at precisely the right time.

So much potential and momentum in Brainchip's neuromorphic space finally.

AI Is Coming to Your Smartphone. Samsung, Google Take On Apple’s iPhone at MWC Barcelona. — Barron’s

Artificial intelligence is coming to the smartphone and it could change everything. Here’s what we’ve seen so far and what to expect at industry showcase Mobile World Congress.

apple.news

Qualcomm Technologies


No, Qualcomm isn’t getting directly into making smartphones. But, the chip maker is powering both Samsung and Honor’s AI phones with its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor—as well as a more ambitious concept.

Qualcomm is partnering with Germany’s Deutsche Telekom—the largest shareholder of T-Mobile US—to present an app-free smartphone at MWC. The apps are replaced by an AI assistant controlled by voice and text.

If the concept works it would upend the mobile economy and likely sound alarm bells at Apple and its legion of app developers, although the device looks a way off being commercially available.

"The company has said it hopes its machine, called Figure 01, will be able to perform dangerous jobs that are unsuitable for people and that its technology will help alleviate labor shortages"

They always use the "dangerous jobs" jive (like putting potato chip packets in boxes) ..

But labour shortages?
That's a new one..
And can only be because people don't "want" to work.

Hi Tothemoon
Probably have the poster and companies mixed up but wasn't a LinkedIn post of someone who works for a German Telecom that waxed lyrical about Brainchip AKIDA and its amazing future posted in the last week or so??? The poster was sort of dismissed here because it was revealed he might be a Brainchip shareholder.

Hi Terroni2105,

I don’t share your enthusiasm about potentially getting involved with Saudi Arabia - while the prospect may be mouth-watering financially, it is fundamentally an ethical question whether to do business with such a government, and I wonder whether our founder Peter van der Made with his high moral standards could square it with his conscience.

I had previously raised this concern in a post last August, where I also mentioned
that Intel has been open about collaborating with Saudi Arabia, as has American government and military contractor Booz Allen Hamilton:

https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-337054

@cosors posted a (German-only) podcast in the Brainchip Bar about human-rights violations in connection with the construction of NEOM the other day,
https://thestockexchange.com.au/thr...-anything-goes-all-welcome.170934/post-411685
the Kingdom is not exactly known to be a champion of women’s rights (cough cough), the case of Jamal Khashoggi comes to mind, who was assassinated at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018 by agents of the Saudi government at the behest of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Sultan etc. I could go on, but I’ll leave it at that.

One could of course argue that we are already connected to companies that are doing business with Saudi Arabia, but to me personally a direct involvement would still be a different cup of shay (Arabic tea).
