The Megachips agreement has run it's 4 year term, I do expect some sort of company update, as in, have they extended the initial 4 year license agreement, are we still working in with their engineering teams on any automotive, industrial IoT modules and so on
.
As Megachips haven't been removed from our current website and it being 10 December, one is left thinking that an announcement must be pending, one way or the other, as communications are on the improve, well, they seem to be in my view, but I always keep an open mind on that subject.

Keeping positive, hope you lot are trying as well.... cheers for now...Tech

Hi @TECH ,

I recently reached out to Douglas Fairbairn , Director of business development at Megachips via LinkedIn.

As I didn’t ask for permission to share his direct response , his reply indicated that there are
‘ no plans at this stage ‘

Certainly not the reply I was hoping for

Hi Buzz Aldrin, did we really land on Tothemoon24 🫢 ?

Thanks for your update, if that is the case, two things come to mind, first we can't moan because we did receive 2 payments and secondly, we can question why they decided to check out our technology in the first place, hope those patent wires are nice and tight.

Finally, the company MUST release information IF Megachips have extended an agreement or remove them ASAP off our homepage, because misinformation or misleading stakeholders will turn into a very messy situation very quickly, so let's hear it Sean..yay or nay...have they pissed us off or not?

Just my self-centred comments..God bless All BRN supporters..Tech

 

[Doz]

Last time Brainchip failed to lodge , they informed the ASX that they had the necessary policy and procedures in place to ensure that they can meet their disclosure obligations .

So , is this another incompetent oversight , or is Sean unable to advise the trustee due to governance compliance ?

PS : I don’t think it is incompetence this time .


All in my opinion ……..

A short new video by Pietro Andronico, CEO & Founder of Nurjana Technologies, reveals what NEBULA stands for: Nurjana Event Based Unit for Light Acquisition.

Check out the video on LinkedIn - below are some still pictures.

Sounds as if Nurjana’s Spacetech division has ambitious plans that - should their dreams come true - will take them to the Moon and beyond.

And possibly Akida, too?

VAIAS - Validation of an AI Accelerator for Space​

Reference number	2025-02991
Coordinator	Frontgrade Gaisler AB
Funding from Vinnova	SEK 2 400 000
Project duration	November 2025 - November 2027
Status	Ongoing
Venture	6G - Infrastructure
Call	ESA Phi-Lab Sweden: Edge AI in space

​

Purpose and goal​

The project addresses a growing market for energy-efficient, fault-tolerant onboard AI computing capable of replacing ground-based processing/power-hungry accelerators ill-suited for space environments. GR801 combines Brainchip Akida IP with Frontgrade Gaisler NOELV fault-tolerant CPU, to deliver reliable inference at the edge in space. The project objectives are two key commercialization enablers: radiation validation of GR801 and AI S/W ecosystem and neuromorphic demonstrator by Rapidity Space

​

Expected effects and result​

The project will deliver a GR801 component validated for space environments and also extensions to the AI SW eco-system. The intended impact is to increase autonomy in European space systems, energy-efficient space missions, support for emerging AI-at-the-edge applications, and potential spillover into adjacent domains such as climate monitoring and robotics. This will contribute to AI hardware and software innovations and accelerating the transition of AI edge computing from lab to orbit.

Planned approach and implementation​

Frontgrade Gaisler will start with a preparatory study in WP1 on use cases and customer intelligence. The results will act as a basis for work packages WP4 and WP5 where the project will focus on the ecosystem around AI software and neuromorphic sensing/computing. WP1 will be carried out by Frontgrade Gaisler and the results will be transferred to Rapidity Space which carries out WP4 and WP5. In parallel, validation of the GR801 will be performed by Frontgrade Gaisler in WP2 and WP3.

The project description has been provided by the project members themselves and the text has not been looked at by our editors.

ESA Phi-Lab opens in Sweden​

ESA Phi-Lab is a strategic programme for the commercialisation of space technology innovations from the European Space Agency, ESA. RISE has now been selected to run ESA Phi-Lab Sweden with the aim of accelerating AI and edge learning in the space sector.

ESA Phi-Lab Sweden is part of a European network of Phi-Labs (the Phi-Lab NET) that will strengthen Europe’s competitiveness in the space sector. The goal of ESA Phi-lab Sweden is to strengthen Sweden’s innovative power and position in the space market, by promoting the exchange of ideas, resources and knowledge to develop commercial concepts and applications that leverage the advances made in AI and edge-learning.

“ESA welcomes Phi-Lab Sweden as the tenth centre in the ESA Phi-Lab NET. Phi-Labs aim at bridging the gap between the research and commercial world and channel research efforts into developing commercially viable applications, products and solutions. Thanks to their expertise and world-class facilities, RISE and the Phi-Lab Sweden consortium will provide unique opportunities to entities interested in generating innovation in the space sector by using AI and edge learning.”, says Roberto Cossu, the Head of Innovation Services in the ESA Commercialisation Services Department.

RISE role is to be responsible for the management of ESA Phi-Lab Sweden for 6 years and, with support from Vinnova, will hold open calls and award Seed Fundings for research activities during the first four years of the project.

“With the broad expertise that exists within RISE and the project’s partner organisations, together with the breadth of test and demo facilities that exist within RISE in everything from materials development to the development of AI algorithms, the innovations of the future can be tested under realistic conditions,” says Tobias Edman, Head of Data Platforms and Systems at RISE.

Through collaboration with the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), the Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF), and the Swedish Space Corporation (SSC), the project brings together different aspects of space activities in research, academia and industry. With a total budget of EUR 5.2 million, the initiative is financed half nationally through Vinnova and half through ESA, with support from the Swedish National Space Agency.

“ESA Phi-Lab Sweden offers unique opportunities to test AI and edge-learning on both hardware and software. It increases the pace of innovation, reduces risks and streamlines development.”, says Chiara Ceccobello, the ESA Phi-Lab Sweden project manager.

licensing agreements don't have to be renewed yearly; they can be short-term, long-term, or even perpetual, depending on what the licensor and licensee agree upon in the contract, but you must plan for either annual reviews or specific renewal clauses for longer deals to ensure terms, payments, and IP rights (like patents or trademarks) stay relevant and maintained. The "old" license can continue if the agreement specifies renewal, is perpetual, or tied to the life of the underlying IP, but it's crucial to define the term and renewal process upfront.

So we may well see royalties if a product was developed from this without a renewal, imo.

Would it not be fair to assume such a question would NOT be openly responded to with facts ,considering it is asked by an outside rather than between the two parties. I am not 100 % you would get a straight forward yes or no to this one as it's a confidential discussion between Megachip and brainchip, imo.

@smoothsailing18 , yes your correct such a question may not be openly responded ,

The fact that Douglas decided to reply , & unfortunately in a negative manner to my question leaves no doubt in my mind we are finished .

Thinking out aloud....
He may well have been taken back by such a question on a public forum from an outsider which would be understandable as well, hence his ( maybe ) abrupt response. It does seem odd we haven't any updates from the official source to date.I guess we will know soon enough.

“We are finished”
That’s a bit far-fetched and premature if you ask me. Private message or not… given the somewhat aggressive way you’re talking this down, I doubt you actually had a conversation with him. If you didn’t ask for his permission, it’s also questionable why you’d post something like that in the forum, since it’s price-sensitive. Just my opinion.
