John Coogan — TBPN · Google DeepMind Reorgs, Rainforest Discoveries, Monkey Prices Surge | Harley Finkelstein, John J. Giamatteo, Jeremy Allaire, Mackenzie Burnett · 2026-08-05Hey, thanks for having me on the program, guys. Um, it's an honor to come out and talk a little bit about BlackBerry, 42-year-old iconic Canadian company. Success. That's right. So a lot of deep roots in technology and a lot of different transformations over Yeah, over those 42 years, you know, so many people know us from the old smartphone days and the devices, but our transformation and pivot into embedded software, and we could talk a lot more about that and the things that we're powering around the world and secure communications where we provide mission-critical, mission-critical communication capabilities That's really what the new BlackBerry is all about, those two categories in terms of serving the market.
John Giamatteo — TBPN · Google DeepMind Reorgs, Rainforest Discoveries, Monkey Prices Surge | Harley Finkelstein, John J. Giamatteo, Jeremy Allaire, Mackenzie Burnett · 2026-08-05Yeah, great question, especially now as there's so much more technology going into the vehicle than ever before. The need for a rock-solid, mission-critical, secure operating system. And when you think about BlackBerry and our QNX platform, think of it really as the operating system of the car, the Windows of the car, the way Windows is to the PCs around the world. The QNX operating system is really the operating system that powers all things that go on in the car, particularly on safety-critical types of functionalities. From digital cockpit to ADAS to body control. All of these different domains of technology that goes into the car and the CPUs that power them run on top of a BlackBerry operating system. So we're proud to be powering over 275 million cars around the world today and, and growing millions over the years. Yeah. And we got a tremendous amount of progress all around the world in Germany. Yeah. Japan, Korea, obviously here in North America. China is one of our fastest growing segments. So a lot of exciting things as, as more technology gets introduced to the vehicle.
John Giamatteo — TBPN · Google DeepMind Reorgs, Rainforest Discoveries, Monkey Prices Surge | Harley Finkelstein, John J. Giamatteo, Jeremy Allaire, Mackenzie Burnett · 2026-08-05BlackBerry has been on such a fascinating historical journey. What is the area or cultural value or discipline or source, a center of excellence, that you think has remained the most true throughout all of that? What is the, what is the narrative arc that actually brings coherence to a company that's operated multiple markets over multiple decades.
John Coogan — TBPN · Google DeepMind Reorgs, Rainforest Discoveries, Monkey Prices Surge | Harley Finkelstein, John J. Giamatteo, Jeremy Allaire, Mackenzie Burnett · 2026-08-05Yeah, yeah, that's, um, yeah, for a 42-year-old company that has evolved in so many different ways, you know what I always tell people? BlackBerry has always been about security, trust, and innovation. And even though the, the products and services that we sell to our customers today can't be held in the palm of your hand the way they might have been with a device, That's security, trust, and innovation of everything that we do, from the products that we deploy to the services that we provide to the support that we provide governments around the world. You know, 8 out of the top 10 G10 countries around the world are still deploying BlackBerry's secure communications capabilities for mission-critical types of applications. So it needs to be safe, secure, and certified. That's really our value proposition. Our, our 2,000+ employees and contractors around the world, our big hubs in Ottawa and Waterloo, Canada, is where a lot of this technology gets developed. That's the pride of what we stand for. And those are the values of what we stand for in terms of security, trust, and innovation.
John Giamatteo — TBPN · Google DeepMind Reorgs, Rainforest Discoveries, Monkey Prices Surge | Harley Finkelstein, John J. Giamatteo, Jeremy Allaire, Mackenzie Burnett · 2026-08-05Jordy, I want you to make a guess for us considering how embedded BlackBerry is with, you know, automotive manufacturers and, and other suppliers. What— at what point do you think that every auto manufacturer in the United States that sells, let's say, more than 5,000 cars will have a functioning Autopilot out of the box in every single one of their vehicles? What year?
Jordi Hays — TBPN · Google DeepMind Reorgs, Rainforest Discoveries, Monkey Prices Surge | Harley Finkelstein, John J. Giamatteo, Jeremy Allaire, Mackenzie Burnett · 2026-08-05Yeah, absolutely. It's the general embedded space for us, which includes things like industrial automation, robotics, medical instrumentation, surgical robotic arms that go on in the operating rooms today. These are all— while we've got a great footprint and presence and growth trajectory on the automotive side, these other use cases around robotics. So for instance, AMI, AMR rather, automated mobile robots, things that are— these are robots that are doing pick, pack and ship. Yeah. In big scale manufacturing. Those are applications that we need. A QNX operating system. Sure. Based on the precision and the safety levels of things required. So it's the fastest growing segment. It's our fastest growing pipeline. Oh, wow. And we think it's, it's going to help us fuel that next generation of growth here at BlackBerry.
John Giamatteo — TBPN · Google DeepMind Reorgs, Rainforest Discoveries, Monkey Prices Surge | Harley Finkelstein, John J. Giamatteo, Jeremy Allaire, Mackenzie Burnett · 2026-08-05But yeah, everyone knows BlackBerry.
