Exhibit 99.1
ITHACA, NY / ACCESSWIRE / November 13, 2023 / Odyssey Semiconductor Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB:ODII), a semiconductor device company developing innovative high-voltage power switching components based on proprietary Gallium Nitride ("GaN") processing technology, today reported its third quarter 2023 results.
CEO Commentary
"During the 3rd quarter of 2023, our team remained focused and made significant and meaningful progress. The product team is hitting important milestones toward a high value product for customer sampling. On the customer front, we received a letter of support from a major European car manufacturer," said Mark Davidson, Odyssey's Chief Executive Officer. "We signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with a partner who will help our shared customers maximize the benefits of GAN in industrial and automotive applications. And we were selected to participate in a power density challenge by one of the world's largest industrial motor manufacturers. On the foundry services front, our pipeline has grown with initial work being complete for potentially high-volume, recurring revenue clients."
Davidson continued, "Financially, we remain constrained. Conversations with investors and potential strategic partners continue, with an outcome expected by the end of the calendar year."

Odyssey Uniquely Positioned in High Growth Megatrend Movement to High Voltage.
40% CAGR to 2027 in Odyssey's Addressable Market
With industry-leading innovation, Odyssey's approach to vertical GaN will offer even greater commercial advantages over silicon than silicon carbide or lateral GaN. Vertical GaN offers a 10x advantage over silicon carbide (SiC) at performance enabling smaller and lighter power systems and cost levels unattainable by the competing technologies. The market the Company is pursuing is large and fast growing. The 650 volt segment is the larger market today, expected to grow at a 20% compound annual growth rate. The 1200 volt product market segment is expected to grow faster at 63% CAGR and will become the larger market in the second half of this decade. Together, the 650 and 1200 volt power device market is expected to exceed $5 billion in 2027, a 40% combined CAGR according to Yole Group, a French market research firm.
