2021 BRN Discussion, page-20243

I have been invested in Brainchip since 2017 which is not a long time compared with some however I well remember the continuous negativity that flowed here after Brainchip announced in March 2020 which was last year the partnership with Socionext. I am sure all of those who held at that time also remember it as well. Much has been spoken of the fact that Socionext were demonstrating AKIDA technology solutions at DesignCon but quite frankly I do not believe that Brainchip has been given sufficient credit for what has been achieved.

I have taken the following paragraph from the Wiki entry about Socionext. It is brief and does not fully state the importance of Socionext in the world of semiconductors so if you have not made yourself fully aware of just how important Socionext is and of its global reach and of course hold Brainchip shares do yourself a favour and spend 30 minutes understanding how important Socionext is as a partner in the world which Brainchip plays. Remember it is because of Socionext that Brainchip has jumped the que at TSMC:

"Socionext is a system on a chip company formed in March 2015 from former system LSI businesses of Fujitsu and Panasonic. It has about 2,500 employees worldwide and is headquartered in Yokohama, Japan. It is privately held by the Development Bank of Japan, Fujitsu, and Panasonic."

The following is the link to the article on the Socionext Japan website advertising the DesignCon presentation and below it I have extracted what it was presenting with respect to Ai and AKIDA technology solutions:

In my opinion two hugely significant takeaways are involved in the above:

1. Brainchip now has a partner company in the form of Socionext with real world products in the market place and they are promoting those products front and centre - posters on here both real and fake have been screaming for this sort of validation. Well it is here and blind Freddie is very happy as he saw it before many of you did.

2. As shareholders we now have a rough time line from partnership to product in the market place for the very first time. Socionext and Brainchip announced in March, 2020 that it was going to help commercialise the AKIDA technology family and it is now August, 2021 a period of 17 months. This should allay any fears that the time being taken with the announced EAPs are moving too slowly or have fallen through unless you just like to be negative or have other motives.

My opinion only DYOR
