US Chip ACT Funding is one of the largest signals. For importance to America National Security. Lesser known list: 1. $SIVE ($330m) 2. $AKTS ($920m) 3. $BLG ($34m) 4. $QUBT ($1.65B) 5. $RGTI ($5.27B) 6. $MRAM ($210m) 7. $SKYT (Acquired) 8. $PDFS ($1.35B) 9. $ATOM ($177M) 10. $SLVC ($227M) 11. $NVTS ($2.12B) 12. $WOLF ($750m) 13. $ALMU ($234m) 14. $ACLS ($2.6B) DIRECT FUNDING | DoC CHIPS PMTs: 1. $WOLF (Wolfspeed): $750 Million 2. $INFN (Infinera): $93 Million (DoC PMT) - Bought by Nokia 3. $SKYT (SkyWater Technology): $16 Million (DoC PMT) - Bought by IonQ DIRECT FUNDING | Federal R&D Contracts: 4. $RGTI (Rigetti Computing): $11.28M (AFRL/quantum networking and AFOSR Chip fab) 5. $QUBT - Direct DoC/NIST contract for TFLN PICs DoD Microelectronics / Sub-Contractors 6. $SIVE: $11.6 Million (NEMC Hub) 7. $MRAM - $8.7 Million project partner ("CHEETA" project via SCMC Hub) 8. $ACLS - $7.8M partner project (Led by GE Aerospace via CLAWS) 9. $BLG - $6.5M (DoD sub-contracts secured to date via CLAWS Hub) 10. $AKTS - $4 Million (Lead grant for the "LADDER" project via NEMC) Adjacents: 11. $ATOM: Member of the SWAP Hub 12. $NVTS: Embedded partner in the SCMC Hub 13. $PDFS: industry partner in the CA DREAMS Hub 14: $ALMU: affiliate member in the CA DREAMS and MMEC Hubs -> Electromagnetic Warfare (EW): $51 million allocated across 6 projects. -> Artificial Intelligence (AI) Hardware: $42 million allocated across 7 projects. -> 5G/6G Wireless Communications: $42 million allocated across 5 projects. -> Commercial Leap-Ahead Technologies: $38 million allocated across 7 projects. -> Quantum Technology: $32 million allocated across 4 projects. -> Secure Edge Computing / IoT: $25 million allocated across 4 projects. Just a warning: Being important to US technology (eg. Wolfspeed) does not translate to being a good investment. Was just doing research into $SIVE CHIPS act funding and decided to see what other lesser known companies got grants or were beneficaries too.
