What happened

Well supportedReported by 10 independent outlets

BlackBerry's QNX division reported a record royalty backlog exceeding $1.2 billion, an increase of over 26% from the approximately $950 million reported at the end of fiscal year 2026. This growth was driven by strong customer adoption of QNX Software Development Platform 8.0 and the first design win of Alloy Kore, QNX's foundational automotive OS. Additionally, QNX launched QNX Launchpad, a program providing startups and small-to-medium businesses access to commercial-grade software at startup-friendly costs.
