**What it does not test.** This does not establish that Chiral's technique has reached commercial semiconductor production, only that seed capital was raised.

**How this item counts.** No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0\. USD12m seed to scale R&D; no commercial production or deployed tech yet. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
