No news is hard on the nerves, but it is part of the game, we are in one of the most secretive industry. I'm curious about what is happening with the POET Development Alliances. We have no clear indication of who is in the PDA's and I doubt that there was no evolution since one year. (yes, we work with Synopsis and BAE but there was no statement that they are in the POET PDA's).
POET Technologies – Special Strategic Committee Update January 6th, 2014

A plan for establishing POET Development Alliances (PDA’s) – The Company is in discussion with several potential industry partners who have the necessary foundry infrastructure to take the POET technology to the manufacturing stage. The partnership roles encompass fab, tool and engineering resources as well as product and library development for future applications. Ideal partners will be producers of products which can incorporate the POET IP technology to provide the lowest power consumption and cost-effective industry disruptive system solutions.

Operation Management and Program management
Besides the announced appointment of a Senior VP of Operations in November 2013, key management changes are underway at the research facility in Storrs, Connecticut. An efficient program management will be instituted and all documentation and design kit efforts will be handled on-site in a direct manner. This step underscores the current transition from research to development oriented activities within POET indicating the maturity of the technology at the present time. This management reporting structure will encourage the success of the finalization of the research stage of POET and provide for the long term substantiation and transfer of the involved IP. A new development team will be formed with partners (Blevins?) to scale the POET Technology bringing it to a mature stage.
