This is the part that gets my attention : "Mr. Peter Copetti, Executive Director of OPEL, and Chair of the Special Strategic Committee (SSC) for commercialization of the POET platform, noted: "The SSC deemed Milestone 6 to be critical for our commercialization activities, and staff focused on this milestone. That we achieved Milestone 6 so quickly spotlights the caliber of the POET team, and our ability to execute and to pivot to industry needs." Mr. Copetti added: "Due to ongoing needs of the SSC, other pre-determined milestones and dates may have to change without notice - but any changes will be consistent with our commercialization mandate." Both of the following points from the NR, "pivot to industry needs" and "Due to ongoing needs of the SSC, other pre-determined milestones and dates may have to change" suggest to me that they may be in discussions with somebody at this point. Possible that a third party is wanting/needing to see specific capabilities of the technology and that is a core reason that the POET team was refocused on to MS6. It could also be the reason they are reserving the possibility of changing actual milestone deliverables and/or associated dates. Time will tell. Feels like things are starting to possibly develop.
