So what now for the joint venture? According to Rajgarhia, the current worldwide pandemic hasn't significantly slowed operations, so POET and Sanan IC are busy working on optical engines for customers that manufacture 100G, 200G and 400G transceiver modules. Potential customers also include system integrators and data centre operators that specify the suppliers and component that make up these modules.

This statement sounds like they are already working together?  Hopefully news to confirm soon :)
