BlackBerry CEO John Giamatteo discusses the company's major transition from focusing on hardware to becoming a prominent software and infrastructure provider. Central to this change is the QNX operating system, which now operates in over 275 million vehicles worldwide. This milestone highlights BlackBerry's success in embedding its technology deeply within the automotive industry.
Giamatteo also emphasizes the company's efforts to expand QNX's application beyond cars, targeting sectors such as robotics, healthcare devices, and industrial automation. By leveraging QNX’s strong reliability and security features, BlackBerry aims to support critical technology systems. The CEO explains how this shift to a software-driven business model supports BlackBerry’s financial growth and positions the company to thrive in an increasingly automated and connected global market.
