BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB) stock is soaring over 5% in intraday trading on Wednesday, following the company's announcement of a multi-year initiative to train thousands of software engineers in India for its QNX platform.
The Canadian software company's QNX division, which focuses on automotive and embedded systems, has partnered with Pi Square Technologies to provide free access to the QNX Software Development Platform and equip engineers with skills for success in the embedded systems industry.
