Fabric.AI Engages Renowned Global Consulting Firm Kearney to Utilize Its World-Class Infrastructure and Supply Chain Expertise to Lead Commercialization Strategy for Neural I/o™ Optical Interconnect Platform

Company and development partner Kopin have executed non-disclosure agreements with leading semiconductor and data center companies; technical discussions are underway ahead of hardware demonstrations planned for early 2027

NEW YORK, NY, Oct. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fabric.AI (Nasdaq: FABC) (“Fabric.AI” or the “Company”), an AI infrastructure company developing a suite of fabless semiconductor technologies for next-generation AI factories, today announced that it has engaged Kearney, the global technology-focused management consulting firm, to apply its world-class infrastructure and supply chain expertise to accelerate and enhance the commercialization strategy for its Neural I/o™ MicroLED-based optical interconnect platform.

James Altucher, independent strategic advisor to Fabric.AI, commented, “Neural I/o™ addresses the two constraints that will define the next generation of AI data centers — how much data you can move, and what it costs in power to move it. We are already in confidential discussions with companies operating at the scale where those constraints bite hardest. Kearney’s role is to help us turn those conversations into commercial relationships, and to reach the semiconductor and infrastructure partners best positioned to bring this technology to market at scale. We anticipate active sales discussions beginning shortly after we demonstrate working hardware early next year.”

The engagement builds on confidential work already underway. Together with its development partner Kopin Corporation (Nasdaq: KOPN), Fabric.AI has executed non-disclosure agreements with several leading semiconductor and data center technology companies, and technical discussions with those counterparties are ongoing. Kearney’s mandate is to help Fabric.AI convert that early engagement into a structured commercial pipeline — sharpening product positioning, identifying and prioritizing target customers and channel partners, and preparing the Company for active sales discussions expected to begin following its planned hardware demonstrations in early 2027.
