BrainChip Holdings Ltd. has raised $25 million in capital funding to advance development and commercialization of its neuromorphic AI technology. The company, listed on ASX as BRN and on OTCQX as BRCHF, plans to use the investment to expand its product offerings in chips and modules ahead of major demonstrations at CES.

The Australian company specializes in ultra-low-power, fully digital, event-based neuromorphic AI processing. This funding round arrives as BrainChip prepares to showcase several new capabilities and partnerships at the consumer electronics trade show.

A Growing Market for Neuromorphic Computing

The global neuromorphic computing market is projected to reach $20.27 billion by 2030, according to Grand View Research. That represents a compound annual growth rate of 19.9% from 2024 to 2030. BrainChip is positioning itself to capture a larger share of this expanding sector through its new product portfolio.

“Our capital raise positions BrainChip to further build its lead in edge AI and neuromorphic computing. Investor support lets us advance Akida 2 chip development and Akida GenAI model development. We can expand into new commercial opportunities through chip and module products that provide real-time, on-device AI with ultra-low power and no cloud dependency. CES is the ideal stage to showcase our growth trajectory, our consistent groundbreaking innovations and our growing product portfolio.”

CEO Sean Hehir

Expanding the Product Portfolio

The funds will support development of BrainChip’s Akida 2 platform and Akida GenAI model capabilities. Key product launches include the AKD1500 modules designed for rugged deployments with Industrial PCs, always-on functionality through Pico evaluations on Akida Cloud, and AI-powered cybersecurity solutions developed in partnership with Quantum Ventura.

BrainChip has also developed a 1.2 billion parameter large language model that runs on-device in mobile and embedded systems. The AKD1500 chip powers these edge devices and is suited for sensors, medical devices, and wearables. It offers lower development and production costs compared to traditional approaches.

The company’s advanced TENNs model supports on-device LLMs with real-time, private generative AI capabilities for secure platforms. The Akida 2 platform enables low-power on-device learning and brings efficient, flexible intelligence to various edge applications.

CES Demonstrations and Partner Collaborations

At CES, BrainChip will present demonstrations of the AKD1500 and AKD1000 chips alongside several partners. HaiLa Technologies will show ultra-low power Bluetooth and Wi-Fi integration with the AKD1500 for wearable visual classification. Deep Perception will demonstrate a visual compute pipeline using the AKD1000 for drones and mobile devices.

Quantum Ventura will highlight its Neuro RT cybersecurity model running on the Akida Edge AI Box, demonstrating network protection capabilities for small office environments.

About BrainChip

BrainChip Holdings Ltd. produces the first commercially available, fully digital, event-based AI processor called Akida. The chip uses neuromorphic principles that mimic how the human brain processes information. It analyzes only essential sensor inputs at the point of acquisition, processing data with high efficiency and minimal energy consumption.

The company’s Temporal Event-based Neural Networks build on State-Space Models with time-sensitive, event-driven frameworks suited for real-time streaming applications. BrainChip’s technology serves industries including aerospace, autonomous vehicles, robotics, industrial IoT, consumer devices, and wearables.
