About BrainChip
BrainChip develops the Akida processor, a neuromorphic design for low-power AI at the edge in devices such as sensors and cameras. Neuromorphic means the chip is modelled loosely on the brain and processes data as sparse events rather than continuously, which can cut energy use compared with conventional processors. The company sells Akida both as licensable IP and as a reference chip, and it supplies a software toolkit called MetaTF for building models. BrainChip is headquartered in Sydney, Australia, and its shares trade on the Australian Securities Exchange under the ticker BRN.
BrainChip was founded in 2004 and is based in Sydney, Australia. It is listed under Neuromorphic Computing, Edge Computing. Reported funding is $25M (Dec 2025); LDA put option extended to AUD $140M.

What BrainChip works on
Neuromorphic Computing
Neuromorphic computing builds chips that copy some features of the brain. Instead of a central processor and separate memory, a neuromorphic chip has many small units that act like neurons, each with its own local memory, joined by connections that act like synapses.
Edge Computing
Edge computing means processing data close to where it is produced, on a device or a nearby server, instead of sending everything to a distant cloud data center. In chip terms, edge processors are small, low-power chips that run software and AI models inside phones, cameras, cars and sensors.
