The drinking part sounds appealing.Hi GazDix.
I sympathise with what you're expressing and having worked at a company that went the conference and trade show route, I felt the same way at the time.
And it took a hell of a lot of persistence and years of apparently wasted expense, before it eventually paid off.
In many cases the opportunity tide turned on the established reputation of being a major "player" in the market and getting to know and be known by the other significant entity's and their key personal.
It's the old "not what you know but who" that often opens doors to partnerships and opportunities that don't otherwise get advertised and much of it is done on a nod and a handshake, amongst known, and more significantly, trusted colleagues.
I could never keep up with him, but my boss who drove this strategy would spend each night of the trade shows out drinking and carousing with his contemporaries until they eventually became pals. Pals who do deals with each other.
It's also a good place to meet new players who sometimes have access to innovative or cheaper options that can be exploited.
It's still cut throat business, but eventually just showing up and being seen amongst the big boys starts to lend one some gravitas.
Of course you still need a compelling and competitive offering but waiting around to be discovered can take significantly longer, and faster growth is achieved through perceived presence in the market.
After initially being sceptical, then seeing it play out over time, I came away a believer.
So much in business comes down to "who" you know, and "who" knows you.
It was actually what first drew me to Sean.
His contacts. But, like I said, it takes time.
And longer than many of us wagered for, I think.
Although also still think that given they are now pushing for the redomicile, they must be close to a significant breakthrough.
I certainly bloody hope so.

Yeah not attending world renowned tech shows that a lot of big players attend to keep showcasing a revolutionary new product, and avoiding face to face confrontation at agmโs would be a real show of strength. Traction is needed soon, but what a bullshit couple of comments.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new partner - fortiss!"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new partner - fortiss!
Fortiss is the Mรผnchen/Munich-based Research Institute of the Free State of Bavaria for software-intensive systems (https://www.fortiss.org/en/about-fortiss).
It is a non-profit limited company, whose shareholders are the Free State of Bavaria (2/3) and the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft / Fraunhofer Society (1/3).
They have been doing neuromorphic research for years, collaborating extensively with IBM and Intel.
Neuromorphic Computing - fortiss
The fields of competence at the fortiss Institute face the current trends in the development of software and its use in practice within an ambitious research program.www.fortiss.org
As I mentioned in my above post last night, fortiss and neuroTUM (TU Mรผnchen) jointly organised a Neuromorphic Hackathon in mid-November, where a student team mentored by Jules Lecomte (fortiss), Gregor Lenz (Neurobus) and Arunkumar Rathinam (University of Luxembourg) won the challenge using Akida.
Note, though, that fortiss have also newly partnered with Innatera alongside us.

"It says PROFIT! I'm gonna be rich!"
Thanks Frangipani, Tata applied for the patent on 14/12/22 so they have been playing with it for over 2 years.
We just might be getting closer to another validation event via Tata sometime this year.
Not sure what product use or uses they have in mind for it.
TATA did say health and Industrial.
Now that Onsor has the honor of the 1st wearable i think we see plenty of work being done with AKIDA on all sorts of afflictions.
I was thinking the same thing, We have had enough exposure to gain interest but obviously The Team are still chasing.......

Ouch thatโs a zinger.
I wonder if Pepsi will stop spending millions on Super Bowl ads and maccas will stop sponsoring almost everything because they already have enough customers. Iโm sorry but that was the dumbest comment Iโve heard in a while. Letโs not showcase the astronomical developments with LLMโs and hope people come to us and ask us โwhats newโ?

Follow up on my last post Frangipani, I notice that Tata referred to our news releases in 2019. It is possible that Tata were playing with AKIDA a couple of years before the 14/12/22 patent application date. Maybe 4 or 5 years this year?
Very interesting. Well i guess Tata are huge so a deal could be huge?

You beat me to it.
Hรฉlder Rodrรญguez has in fact liked two BrainChip posts over the past couple of days and may even have visited our booth in person, given he had posted about intending to attend Embedded World 2025 earlier.
Then again, he has also liked several posts by other companies in the neuromorphic space (Innatera, Prophesee and Femtosense).
Iโve had ARQUIMEA on my watch list for quite some time, given theyโve been doing neuromorphic research for years, even though the following passage on their website (https://www.arquimea.com/) always made me wonder if there was a chance at all of getting our foot in the door:
โWe are a tech company that operates in high-demanding sectors to contribute to the development and progress of society. At ARQUIMEA we provide innovative solutions based on proprietary technologies.โ
Anyway, Hรฉlder Rodrรญguez recently co-authored an interesting conference paper involving a potentially life-saving use case that I wanted to share: real-time beach monitoring with UAVs and computer vision, assisting human lifeguards (even though the thought of UAVs constantly hovering above beachgoers is a rather eerie one, to be honestโฆ)
Fair enough

Hey All,
I was just looking back at Pitt Street's Research from August 2021.
I thought it might be useful to see what they reported back then to see if we think we're tracking in the right direction.
I noticed it states "BRN has a distinct competitive advantage over its peers as learning is autonomous in Akida chips. Various other neural networks developed by peers, such as Intel and IBM, still require either software code or human interaction to learn". And "Loihi lacks convolution so running CNNโs on Loihi is very inefficient. Adding to the inefficiency is Loihiโs learning method, SLAYER, a slow, modified version of error back-propagation."
I don't know the technicalities well enough to judge if the above statement still holds true, so thought it would be a good question for the wider community to comment on.
All genuinely insightful thoughts are welcome.

Seeing as there is a rare lunar event occurring this evening in Australia, where the moon will be flooded with a red light, I thought it might be fun to randomly select a post and see what it might turn up.
Here's where my randomness took me, which weirdly enough was and FMF post (FullMoonForever).
I must admit I was quite surprised to find that Sunny Bains actually asks the question about how much consolidation will occur in the next few years and then goes on to talk about Prophesee, Qualcomm and BrainChip.

Speaking of smart glasses, what have we here?
Fortiss is actively developing smart glasses prototypes incorporating neuromorphic technology through their EMMANรELA project, which focuses on energy-efficient human-machine interaction in augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) settings. This initiative leverages neuromorphic sensor technology and computing to enhance immersive digital experiences.
Can't find anything to suggest a direct collaboration between Fortiss and BrainChip at this time, so will keep it on the watch list.

Neuromorphic computing creates an immersive digital experience
In the EMMANรELA project, fortiss is researching the use of neuromorphic sensor technology and neuromorphic computing in AR/VR. The aim is to investigate the potential of these technology-inspired approaches for augmented digital worlds and to open up new application possibilities.www.fortiss.org
Let's hope we'll be "seeing" some AR glasses soon from Fortiss, as above?

Guess what - I just found out that Axel von Arnim and Jules Lecomte merely pretend to be neuromorphic researchers at fortiss and that our gullible BrainChip staff fell for this scam when partnering with them!
