About

Echodyne is a radar technology company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Kirkland, Washington. The company was spun out of Intellectual Ventures and is commercializing Metamaterial Electronically Scanning Array (MESA) radar technology — a novel approach that uses engineered metamaterials to achieve the performance of traditional phased-array radar at a fraction of the cost, size, and weight. MESA radars can electronically steer their beam in 3D without any moving parts, enabling high-resolution, wide-field sensing in compact form factors suitable for drones, autonomous vehicles, ground robots, fixed-site security, and perimeter protection.

About

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is a Hsinchu, Taiwan-headquartered pure-play semiconductor foundry — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: TSM) and Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE: 2330) at approximately $800+ billion market capitalization — operating as the world's largest contract chipmaker with 60%+ global foundry market share, manufacturing semiconductors for Apple, NVIDIA, AMD, Qualcomm, Broadcom, and 500+ other fabless chip design companies. In FY2024, TSMC generated $87.1 billion in revenue (+34% year-over-year) with AI-related chip revenue growing 3x annually, reflecting the GPU and custom AI accelerator demand from hyperscalers. In 2025, TSMC's 2-nanometer (N2) process technology entered volume production (the world's most advanced at-scale semiconductor manufacturing), while the Arizona Fab 21 Phase 1 (4nm/N4P) began production in late 2024 and the Kumamoto, Japan fab opened in 2024. CEO C.C. Wei. Founded 1987 by Morris Chang, who pioneered the pure-play foundry model that separated chip design from manufacturing.
