-
BrainChip partnered with Arquimea during the quarter on an AI-powered detection solution to enhance water safety. Arquimea has demonstrated BrainChip’s Akida with a Prophesee event-based Metavision camera on a low-power drone. The drone helps lifeguards scale their services by detecting distressed swimmers and surfers who may be out of view. Compared to frame-based camera solutions using conventional computer vision with CNNs, event-based video solutions can offer faster detection, better tracking, lower memory, and lower power and cost.
-
BrainChip was proud to announce a collaboration with Andes Technology on 23 April 2025. Andes is the leading provider of RISC-V embedded cores. Leveraging the benefits of Akida’s pure digital, extremely energy-efficient, event-based AI computation, Andes RISC-V compute platforms can deliver at-sensor or sensor-balanced solutions for AI, application processors, automotive electronics, and security markets. This collaboration demonstrated BrainChip’s AKD1500 on Andes’ QiLai Voyager Board and Andes Core AX45MP 64-bit multicore CPU IP at the Andes RISC-V Conference in San Jose, showing attendees the power of Akida technology with RISC-V for efficient, intelligent compute at the edge.
-
Chelpis Quantum Corp. announced the selection of BrainChip’s Akida chips for its industrial robotic security application during the quarter. Chelpis is purchasing AKD1000 devices for qualification and deployment in endpoint security for robotic solutions. This is the first step in a collaboration that will help enable Chelpis and their partner company, Mirle, to build autonomous quadruped robots for industrial/factory environments. Chelpis is exploring BrainChip’s Akida IP to fulfil security and AI computing needs in their AI-PQC robotic System-on-Chip development.
-
In April 2025, BrainChip CEO Sean Hehir had the opportunity to sit down with Frontgrade Gaisler General Manager, Sandi Habinc for a conversation on space technology and neuromorphic computing. This episode of our “This is Our Mission” podcast covered the collaboration between these technology leaders on Frontgrade Gaisler’s newly announced GRAIN product line, integrating BrainChip’s Akida technology with a RISC-V processor for use in radiation-hardened space environments.
-
On the 24 June 2025, BrainChip announced a strategic collaboration with HaiLa Technologies, an innovator in ultra-low power wireless connectivity. BrainChip and HaiLa are working with leading OEMs and ecosystem partners to bring their combined capabilities to market across medical, environmental, and infrastructure monitoring domains. Together, the companies intend to demonstrate how BrainChip’s Akida™ neuromorphic technology can pair seamlessly with HaiLa’s BSC2000 radio frequency integrated circuit RFIC to enable breakthrough power efficiency for connected sensor applications in IoT, medical, and smart infrastructure markets.

- During June 2025, BrainChip unveiled its MetaTF 2.13 software on a newly launched Developer Hub. BrainChip is making it easier than ever for developers to build intelligent, low-power applications at the edge with the launch of its all-new Developer Hub, a dedicated portal designed to accelerate innovation on the Akida™ platform. BrainChip released two high-performance models on the MetaTF platform: eye-tracking and gesture recognition. Both are designed to demonstrate the unique advantages of event-based AI processing using Akida, which delivers real-time performance with ultra-low power consumption.
Corporate Update
On 6 January 2025, BrainChip announced the fourth amendment to the Put Option Agreement (POA) with LDA Capital. The Company issued 40 million shares to LDA Capital and agreed to raise a minimum of AU$20 million, no later than 30 June 2026. On 23 March 2025, BrainChip issued a Capital Call Notice to LDA Capital to subscribe for 40 million shares in accordance with the POA. The capital call remained open as at 30 June 2025, however closed post quarter-end on 24 July. The Company received AUD $8,235,958 for a subscription price of AUD $0.2059 per share.
Patent Update
The Company continued expansion of its global intellectual property portfolio, now comprising 55 issued and pending patents across the United States, Europe, and APAC regions. This robust and growing IP foundation reflects BrainChip’s strategic focus on safeguarding its AI innovations and reinforces its competitive positioning in the rapidly evolving edge AI market. The Company views IP as a critical asset for unlocking commercial opportunities and delivering sustained shareholder value through innovation-led growth.
Marketing Update
BrainChip continues to be very active on the marketing front, ensuring that the company is best positioned to commercialise its product offering across a range of sectors and applications.
The BrainChip team was in the Bay Area during the month of April for three key events focused on edge AI, IP design, and open computing architectures. At D&R IP-SoC Days, CMO, Steve Brightfield presented on advances in AI-driven IP and SoC architectures. At Andes RISC-V Con, BrainChip also took the stage to discuss how Akida accelerates intelligent compute in RISC-Vbased designs. Lastly, at Intel Foundry’s Direct Connect 2025, the team engaged with innovators exploring the next wave of semiconductor design.
