What did Macquarie Technology management say?

Chief Executive David Tudehope said:

Macquarie Technology’s focus remains on expanding capacity, finalising customer agreements for major data centre projects, and supporting innovation in AI and cloud for business and government clients. The METC project is progressing, with community features and academic partnerships planned, although major construction is still subject to approvals.

BrainChip achieved a significant operational milestone by shipping the first production batch of 2,000 AKD1500 neuromorphic processors, marking the transition from pre-production to commercial-scale manufacturing. The company is also developing AKD1500-based hardware platforms to support faster customer adoption.

During the half, BrainChip signed new intellectual property (IP) licensing deals with EDGEAI and ASICLAND, opening up new streams for potential licensing and royalty revenue. The ecosystem expanded through a new partnership with MicroIP, while dedicated product platforms for defence, industrial AI, and signal analytics were advanced.

BrainChip is focused on broadening commercial deployment of its Akida neuromorphic technology across defence, industrial, and edge AI markets. The company expects further product shipments, ecosystem partnerships, and customer integrations in the coming months.
