We also need to consider the COVID factor inhibiting technology requiring Chip fabrication - there is a global shortage of chips.

• Backlog due to COVID shut-downs.
• And, a reassessing of supply chains and over reliance on China.
• And to make things worse, the sword of Damocles hangs over Taiwan - another chip manufacturing global; power house.
• The USA is reassessing its reliance on Asian Chip Fabrication and likely we will see a trend toward repatriating capability to the USA.

Not hard to imagine that under these circumstances the focus is on keeping supply of current in-market chips and less so on new ones.
However, you can be sure in the background many companies are furiously conducting R&D to maximise the application of the Akida technology.
When the global chip manufacturers clear the backlog and have the capacity to fabricate new devices - a string of announcements will flow in quick succession and BRN will go from a technology minnow to behemoth.
