•GlobalFoundries has launched Quantum Technology Solutions, a new business unit focused on scaling commercial fabrication for quantum computing hardware.
•The initiative secured $375 million in CHIPS and Science Act funding from the U.S. Department of Commerce to boost domestic manufacturing lines.
•Leveraging GF's FDX platform and cryogenic CMOS, the unit will produce Quantum Processor Units (QPUs) for superconducting, trapped-ion, silicon photonic, topological, and silicon spin-qubit architectu...
•BMW i Ventures, the automaker's VC arm, launched a new $300 million fund specifically targeting early to Series B AI startups.
•The fund will focus on agentic AI, physical AI (robotics, autonomous vehicles), industrial software, advanced materials, and manufacturing/supply chain tech.
•This strategic investment reflects BMW's view that AI is a foundational technology poised to transform automotive design, production, and engineering workflows, like the Synera example that cuts weeks...
•BMW Group achieved a 50% reduction in battery cell testing time using AI in a pilot project at its Munich Battery Cell Competence Centre.
•The artificial intelligence solution was developed in collaboration with the Regional Centre of Excellence for Robotic Technology (CRTA) at the University of Zagreb.
•This efficiency gain significantly accelerates development cycles for electric vehicle batteries and extends its impact beyond initial testing phases.
