Dubai Investment Fund Negotiates Major Investment in Neuromorphic Chip Technology By Investing.com Studios
Dubai Investment Fund Negotiates Major Investment in Neuromorphic Chip Technologywww.investing.com
Which one?
Good find @uiux , however prolly not us
we're not exactly a startup.Moreover I find the article a bit strange as I couldn't find this "Michael Reynolds" on LI at all, even with a search "Michael Reynolds dubai investment fund linkedin". Also why would they want to trumpet their potential investment prior to concluding the deal, jeopardising their entry price?
The author seems to be this Jon https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonstojan/ who's a marketer by profession, so who knows? He may have recently taken a position, on exchange or private, in one of the dozens of neuromorphic startups.

Bravo
If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!
BrainChip has until the 28th of Feb to submit information on the capabilities our technology can bring to this.
Better get a wriggle on!

WASHINGTON — The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has issued a call for industry ideas on how it can implement President Donald Trump’s Jan. 27 “Iron Dome for America” Executive Order — a surprisingly fast turn around on a Pentagon program.
The Request for Information (RF) comes just four days after Trump’s order mandated Pentagon development of a comprehensive “shield” to repel any aerial attack on the US homeland. The RFI asks interested vendors to show and tell relevant capabilities by Feb. 28.
The request to industry is structured to be open to a wide range of ideas, as it seeks details on what capabilities can be “delivered or demonstrated” in two-year “epochs”: not later than Dec. 31, 2026; Dec. 31, 2028; Dec. 31, 2030 and “beyond” Dec. 31, 2030.
MDA is “conducting market research to assist in the identification of innovative missile defense technologies (system-level, component level, and upgrades) architectures, concepts, and Concept of Operations (CONOPS) to detect and defeat the threat of attack by ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, and other advanced aerial attacks,” the RFI elaborates.
“MDA desires to collaborate with Industry on potential concepts to deploy and maintain a next-generation missile defense shield that will deter and defend its citizens and critical infrastructure against any foreign aerial attack on the Homeland and guarantee its secure second-strike capability,” it adds.
The list of technologies of interest reads as a cut-and-paste of the Trump executive order:

Interestingly, the RFI indicates MDA would take charge of deploying the Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS), rather than the Space Development Agency (SDA). The fate of the HBTSS — which uses a medium-field-of-view camera optimized to provide high-fidelity missile tracking capable of providing targeting coordinates to anti-missile interceptors — has been the subject of a years-long tug-of-war between the two agencies.
MDA originally developed the sensor to help target its new Glide Phase Interceptor for knocking hypersonic missiles out of the sky. But SDA effectively killed the HBTSS program after the first two test satellites were launched last February, absorbing some of the technology into its own designs for new “fire-control capable” infrared sensors.
Thus, the Trump executive order breathes life back into the HBTSS program, and MDA has re-claimed control of it in the RFI.
As things stand today, however, SDA has no plans to integrate the two HBTSS sensors into its Tracking Layer of the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture — which begs the question of once HBTSS is developed how will it be deployed and operated so as to work with SDA’s Tracking Layer satellites and ground systems?

Another unanswered question is which Defense Department organization will operate the future space-based and directed-energy interceptors to be developed by MDA as part of the Iron Dome plan.
The Ground-Based Interceptors that make up the sharp end of the Defense Department’s Ground-based Midcourse Defense System are “administered” by MDA (to include funding for upgrades) but the Army has operational control in support of US Northern Command. Further, both the Air Force and now the Space Force provide support functions to the overarching system. That long-standing arrangement also will apply to the Next-Generation Interceptor replacement program.
However, US Space Command is now responsible under the Unified Command Plan for operations in space, with its “area of responsibility” defined as extending from 100 kilometers above the Earth to, in theory, infinity. The command also serves as the Joint Force Global Sensor Manager, and operates the current Space-Based Infrared System constellation of missile warning satellites. And while the Space Force supplies the bulk of personnel to SPACECOM to conduct operations, the other services also all provide space specialists and capabilities.
The defense community may not have to wait for answers. Under the executive order, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has until March 28 to submit “a reference architecture, capabilities-based requirements, and an implementation plan for the next-generation missile defense shield” — a task that is being spearheaded by John Hill in his role performing the duties of the assistant secretary of defense for space policy.

- Deployment of underlayer and terminal-phase intercept capabilities postured to defeat a countervalue attack;
- Development and deployment of a custody layer of the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture;
- Development and deployment of capabilities to defeat missile attacks prior to launch and in the boost phase;
- Development and deployment of a secure supply chain for all components with next-generation security and resilience features; and
- Development and deployment of non-kinetic capabilities to augment the kinetic defeat of ballistic, hypersonic, advanced cruise missiles, and other next-generation aerial attacks.

I did ask him back if there were any reasons why this practice has been discontinued.Had the same reply. I didn't see that you had posted this so wouldn't have bothered asking
Can really speculate until the cows come home why, but I will miss my little quarterly exercise!
My first feeling is that PVDM has finally sold shares as he is very well entitled too. Tech may grill me for that, but that is the integral reason I would prefer. If not this, well... keeping more cards closer to chest I can only hope is for shareholder's benefit.
There is a way to view the changes though, I think you need a subscription to Bloomberg or one of the resources the instos have. Does anyone have access to this? I remember someone did post a recently a new large accumulator of BRN shares.
Cheers all
IMO, Just another negative issue to add to an already long list of other matters to be raised at the next AGM ......... Wasn't it said at the last AGM, that the Co would take on board and improve communication with S/Holders.
If they (Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, etc.) want to implement their ambitious projects for the future, they won’t be able to avoid BrainChip in one way or another. We all know that our products have almost unlimited potential (not even considering the yet-to-be-invented products involving AI) in areas like smart cities, energy efficiency, data security, and more. From power plants operating energy-efficiently through Akida to make consumer electricity cheaper, to voice control systems and seamless translation… Many who have now pulled their money out of BrainChip and invested in DeepSeek or other companies will still witness it. Just my opinion. Patience is a virtue.Dubai Investment Fund Negotiates Major Investment in Neuromorphic Chip Technology By Investing.com Studios

Which one?
To be fair they have improved their communication. They have found others ways to say, not yet, soon and its a secret.
I also would decide same way if I would get every day sich emails like „where is my money“ or „Sean has to go“ or „when lambo“ if they don’t have to, and some people are so stupid .. obviously mostly this kind of people are sending emails… why should they spend they time to do so? Just my opinion… I know where I stand innehat list… and that’s fine for me!
Companies aren't having any trouble avoiding BRN at the moment.
They should in this case also avoid this forum. What do you think ?Companies aren't having any trouble avoiding BRN at the moment.
All forums are the same, they exist for people to whinge about how things aren't perfect.
According to google's Generative AI, if someone is a "substantial shareholder" in an ASX company, then "any subsequent changes in voting power of 1 percentage point or more must .... be disclosed." That would apply to PVDM presumably as well as others. So if he or any of them sold that amount of shares, we would know through an announcement on the exchange. (Assuming Generative AI and my interpretation of it are correct, which of course may not be the case.)
That could be because you can see how our co-shareholders think it would be great to be owned by a hedge fund, and you have realized (hopefully by now) what that says.
