Why it matters: For startups, the current economic climate poses additional challenges on top of the already high research and development costs. ARM's Flexible Access for Startups is the company's way to encourage these projects to continue by giving them free access to 75 percent of its chip portfolio.

ARM announced this week it'll give these early-stage companies zero-cost access to a huge chunk of its IP portfolio, including some of its most widely used chip designs that it already licenses to tech giants like Qualcomm, Samsung, and Apple.
The move is an extension of the company's existing Flexible Access program, and will give startups and incubators a way to design and prototype using ARM solutions like Cortex A, R, and M CPU families, Mali GPUs, and image signal processors with the added benefit of global support, development tools, and extensive training resources.

Ultimately, this is a smart move that will attract a lot of small companies to embrace ARM in their quest for hardware innovation.
