Across the 34 most recent grant-funded entries in Consumer Electronics, one disclosed round stands out: Applied Materials received a $100M grant on 2022-10-19, matching the $100M amounts at Sila Nanotechnologies (2022-10-19) and sitting alongside Microvast’s $200M grant the same day. The next-largest disclosed amounts are far lower—$88M for Windracers (2022-08-09) and $30M for OxiWear (2022-09-20)—while several grants cluster in the sub-$10M range (for example, $9M SeeQC on 2021-11-05 and $10M Universal Quantum on 2021-11-05). Date and geography also show clustering. The late-September to early-October window dominates: four grants land between 2022-09-20 and 2022-10-21 (including Microvast, Sila Nanotechnologies, Applied Materials on 2022-10-19; plus Ventive’s $2M on 2022-10-21 and Adarma’s $2M on 2022-10-04). London appears twice (Ventive 2022-10-21 and Windracers 2022-08-09), while the largest concentration of cities is otherwise dispersed across North America and Europe. The smallest disclosed amount is $30K for OxiWear (2022-09-20), and the period covered by these rows runs from 2021-07-01 (Sensative) to 2022-10-21 (Ventive). One entry is amount-undisclosed (PCs for People, 2022-07-21).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed grant in these recent Consumer Electronics entries, and how does it compare to the rest?
Microvast’s $200M grant on 2022-10-19 is the top disclosed amount in the 34-row view, dwarfing the next-largest disclosed entries such as Windracers’ $88M (2022-08-09) and OxiWear’s $30M (2022-09-20). Multiple entries sit at $100M on 2022-10-19 (Applied Materials and Sila Nanotechnologies), but $200M remains the clear maximum disclosed figure.
Is there a temporal cluster among the most recent grants?
Yes. Several of the largest and mid-sized rounds land in a tight late-September to early-October stretch: on 2022-10-19, Applied Materials ($100M), Microvast ($200M), and Sila Nanotechnologies ($100M) all close; Ventive ($2M) posts 2022-10-21, and Adarma ($2M) appears on 2022-10-04. Smaller but still disclosed grants populate adjacent dates (e.g., OxiWear $30K on 2022-09-20 and Windracers $88M on 2022-08-09).
Are any cities or locations over-represented in this list?
London shows up twice with different companies and dates: Ventive ($2M) on 2022-10-21 and Windracers ($88M) on 2022-08-09. Other locations appear as one-off cities across the remaining entries, such as Toronto (Tennis Canada on 2022-08-03 and WeavAir on 2021-09-03) but not with matching date proximity.
How common are undisclosed amounts, and do they affect the outlier analysis?
Only one row is amount-undisclosed: PCs for People (2022-07-21). Since comparisons like “largest” and “smallest” rely on disclosed amounts, the key extremes are still clear: the smallest disclosed figure is OxiWear’s $30K (2022-09-20), while the largest disclosed figure is Microvast’s $200M (2022-10-19).
Which size ranges appear most often among disclosed grants?
Disclosed amounts frequently cluster in mid-to-lower ranges below $10M, including several single-digit to low-double-digit figures such as Butterfly Network ($5M) on 2022-03-09, Vescent Photonics ($1M) on 2022-04-12, and Kardome ($100K) on 2022-06-20. Meanwhile, a small set of high-value outliers spans the top end—$88M (Windracers, 2022-08-09), $100M (Applied Materials and Sila Nanotechnologies on 2022-10-19), and $200M (Microvast, 2022-10-19).
Do these rows show a consistent time range, and what are the temporal edges?
The earliest entry in the 34-row view is Sensative on 2021-07-01 (listed at $700K), and the most recent is Ventive on 2022-10-21 (listed at $2M). The overall window therefore spans from 2021-07-01 through 2022-10-21, with a noticeable density in the 2022-08 to 2022-10 period (including multiple grants around 2022-10-19).
