  • MIL-OSI: Teads Celebrates Major Milestone as CTV HomeScreen Powers 1,500 Campaigns

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NEW YORK, April 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The new Teads (NASDAQ: OB), the omnichannel outcomes platform for the open internet, today announced a significant milestone for CTV HomeScreen (formerly CTV Native), an immersive way for advertisers to reach audiences on exclusive experiences at incremental moments of high attention. Since its launch in 2023, 1,500 CTV HomeScreen campaigns have been run by premium brands globally, including Cartier, Nestlé, and Air France.

    As brands prioritize omnichannel strategies, CTV HomeScreen enables advertisers to place content directly on the first screen consumers see when turning on their connected televisions. By integrating within the operating systems of major television manufacturers such as LG and Hisense, Teads’ CTV HomeScreen ads provide brands with access to audiences that may not otherwise be reachable through ad-supported tiers on streaming platforms. CTV HomeScreen ads deliver high levels of attention through impactful, unique creative experiences. Teads’ programmatic advertiser platform, Teads Ad Manager (TAM) enables brands to connect the moments of the consumer journey across all screens — creating a continuity of advertising experiences from CTV to web and app.

    “By placing high-impact native ads directly on smart TV home screens, we provide brands with premium, brand-safe placements that capture superior attention at the moment of content discovery,” said Jeremy Arditi, Co-President, Chief Business Officer of the Americas. “This approach ensures brands own the first moment on TV screens, maximizing both visibility and engagement in an uncluttered environment.”

    Over the past year, Teads has strengthened its CTV offering through expanded access to premium HomeScreen inventory, including exclusive partnerships with VIDAA US and LG Ad Solutions covering 330 million TV screens worldwide, in over 50 countries. In addition to Homescreen, TAM enables advertisers to reach audiences across more than 7,000 CTV apps globally, optimizing performance through CTV instream video campaigns.

    “The partnership between LG and Teads unlocks a powerful value proposition for advertisers,” said Serge Matta, President of Global Ad Sales at LG Ad Solutions. “From the moment a viewer powers on their TV, they’re met with stunning creatives, brought to life by Teads. It’s a seamless blend of innovation and scale.”

    Capturing Audience Attention at Scale

    CTV HomeScreen placements are displayed on the first screen viewers see when they turn on their smart TVs. This enhances ad effectiveness and extends audience reach beyond traditional commercial breaks. According to TVision (2024), viewers often spend time browsing for content—up to 10 minutes—before encountering ad clutter, making this window a high-attention moment. In fact, 74% of attention goes to the first ad seen on the home screen.

    In 1,500 CTV HomeScreen campaigns, Teads has helped brands like Cartier, Nestlé, Air France, Bvlgari, and Nissan deliver impactful moments that drive measurable engagement. Cartier’s first-ever 3D CTV HomeScreen campaign generated over 12 million impressions, while Air France saw a 22% increase in recommendation intent by securing premium placements on Smart TV home screens. In addition, Nestlé achieved a 9% lift in ad recall, leveraging Teads’ high-attention CTV HomeScreen formats to enhance brand impact.

    “This initiative showcases how advertising innovation and precise data can strengthen brand image and consumer engagement. Teads’support in this campaign allowed us to combine exclusive formats with rigorous measurement, demonstrating real value for the brand,” said Catherine Masson, Director of Brand Media Strategy and Media Buying at Air France.

    Now Available in Teads Ad Manager

    Brands can now seamlessly combine CTV HomeScreen with mobile and desktop formats within a single buying platform, making it easier to plan, execute, and optimize omnichannel campaigns and ensuring a more cohesive, data-driven approach to audience engagement.

    With real-time attention measurement, contextual targeting, and planning and insight tools, Teads Ad Manager offers advertisers an all-in-one solution to maximize impact across every screen. This latest integration reflects Teads’ commitment to future-proofing CTV advertising by delivering premium placements, innovative ad formats, and advanced measurement tools.

    Teads was recently announced as a finalist in the Best CTV Ad Tech Platform category by the Digiday Streaming and Video Awards. For more information on Teads’ CTV HomeScreen solutions, visit https://thenewteads.com/.

  • MIL-OSI: iBio Expands Cardiometabolic and Obesity Pipeline through Licensing of First-in-Class Antibody Targeting Activin E from AstralBio

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SAN DIEGO, April 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: IBIO), an AI-driven innovator of precision antibody therapies, today announced a licensing agreement with AstralBio Inc. for a preclinical first-in-class antibody targeting Activin E, which was discovered using iBio’s patented Machine-Learning Antibody Engine. Activin E is a promising novel therapeutic target whose inhibition is believed to induce fat-selective weight loss and offer protection against obesity and cardiometabolic disease. iBio plans to rapidly advance testing of the antibody in more complex models following preclinical studies that demonstrated strong antibody binding, inhibition of Activin E signaling and fat-specific weight loss in an obese rodent animal model.

    The in-licensed antibody represents what iBio believes to be the first functional inhibitor of Activin E, a challenging, yet genetically validated therapeutic target playing a key role in regulating energy balance and fat distribution. Inhibiting Activin E-mediated signaling could offer a novel therapeutic strategy to reduce internal abdominal fat while preserving muscle mass—potentially reversing obesity, preventing diabetes, and improving overall cardiometabolic health. As one of several cellular components involved in cardiometabolic regulation, Activin E, along with amylin, GLP-1 and others, are part of a broader network of signaling pathways that have the potential to be targeted simultaneously to yield synergistic benefits for patients.

    Using its proprietary Machine Learning Antibody Engine and advanced epitope engineering technology, iBio designed engineered epitopes representing five key regions of the Activin E protein. This approach led to the successful development of a molecule that fully blocks Activin E-mediated signaling and inhibits its function across multiple in vitro models. In vivo proof-of-concept was established in a rodent model of obesity, where the antibody induced fat-selective weight loss as a monotherapy and showed synergistic weight loss when added to a GLP-1 receptor agonist in recently published data by iBio. iBio plans to present additional preclinical data of its antibody targeting Activin E at the International BMP Conference, taking place in Philadelphia, PA, from May 2–6.

    “Our decision to license this Activin E-targeting functional antibody, a potentially first-in-class molecule, at this early stage reflects our firm belief in Activin E as a promising therapeutic target and our confidence in building upon the strong preclinical data we recently published,” said Martin Brenner, Ph.D., DVM, iBio’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer. “This antibody represents a strategic expansion of our pipeline in cardiometabolic diseases and obesity and a significant step toward clinical development of a medication that can potentially offer meaningful benefits to patients.”

    Additionally, iBio amended its existing collaboration agreement with AstralBio to add a fifth target for the treatment of cardiometabolic disease. iBio will identify and create an antibody against such target, leveraging its proprietary Drug Discovery Platform. In exchange for adding an additional target to the collaboration and pursuant to the license agreement, AstralBio has provided iBio a $750,000 credit which iBio has applied toward the option fee for the exclusive license of the novel antibody that inhibits the function of Activin E. AstralBio will be eligible for development and commercialization milestone payments totaling up to $28 million. If iBio sublicenses the licensed product, AstralBio is to receive low to mid-single-digit sublicense fees on the proceeds of the sublicense fees. iBio is solely responsible for the research and development, manufacturing and commercialization activities of the licensed product.

    About iBio, Inc.

    iBio (Nasdaq: IBIO) is a cutting-edge biotech company leveraging AI and advanced computational biology to develop next-generation biopharmaceuticals for cardiometabolic diseases, obesity, cancer and other hard-to-treat diseases.

    Number of full-time employees (FTE) at the end of the period 931 950
    Number of full-time subcontractors (FTE) at the end of the period 144 137

    Outlook of 2025

    Revenue for 2025 is expected to be EUR 108-130 million and adjusted EBITA EUR 4.7-7.7 million.

    CEO Tomi Pienimäki:

    The first quarter of this year was challenging for Siili as the sluggish market conditions prevailed, and we took concrete steps to improve the profitability of our operations. However, many positive developments also occurred during the initial months of the year while we focused with determination on the implementation of our strategy.

    The Group’s revenue in January-March amounted to just under EUR 30 million, broadly at the previous year’s level. Adjusted EBITA for the first quarter amounted to EUR 1.3 million, 4.2% of revenue. Profitability came in slightly weaker than last year, in line with our expectations. However, when comparing to the previous year’s result, it is worth noting that the adjusted EBITA for the comparison period was improved by the temporary layoffs implemented during Q1 2024.

    During the initial months of the year, we have seen encouraging developments in the market, with our customers moving from testing artificial intelligence to firm transition programmes. In March, we launched a new Advisory service to accelerate our customers’ digital business and adoption of AI.

    An example of how we support our customers on their AI journey is an AI-assisted training programme we delivered for Alma Media at the beginning of the year. It is a tailored solution that helps Alma Media to integrate AI seamlessly into its operations and culture.

    Siili also worked with Varma to modernise a key system. The objective of the modernisation was to simplify the maintenance of the system and improve its scalability and development potential, ensuring it continues to meet Varma’s business needs reliably into the future. The work was carried out in stages and in close cooperation with the client, ensuring the continuous operability of the system.

    During the opening months of the year, we have also built new cooperation networks that allow extensive utilisation of Siii’s expertise. In March, Siili was accepted as a member in the Digital Defence Ecosystem, which brings together Finland’s leading technology companies to support national defence capabilities and the security of supply. Siili also became an NVIDIA partner earlier this year as part of the NVIDIA Partner Network (NPN), which significantly supports us in bringing scalable, production-ready AI solutions to our customers.

    In February–March, we adjusted our competence profile to align with the strategy we released last year, and current market conditions. Following change negotiations started in February, we will reduce 25 roles from Siili Finland’s functions and 8 from Siili Auto Finland. Actions affecting personnel are always difficult for the organisation, but we believe these adjustments will strengthen Siili’s competitiveness and profitability. With these measures, we estimate that we will achieve a total of 2.2 million euros in annual cost savings.

    To strengthen Siili’s competence profile, we concluded the acquisition of a majority stake in Integrations Group Oy at the beginning of the year. Integrations Group is now part of Siili, and the collaboration has started strongly. We continue to strengthen our competence profile in line with the strategy also through recruitment and human resources development.

    I want to thank all our customers and partners for the past few months, but above all, I extend my thanks to the Siili team for their commitment and outstanding work during the quarter.

Today, FundThrough’s expanding footprint now delivers crucial invoice factoring solutions across diverse B2B sectors, including retail, manufacturing, oil and gas, technology, professional services, and food supply and agriculture, with 85 percent of its funding helping American clients.

    “Business owners have increasingly been forced to act like banks for their much larger customers who extend invoice payment terms beyond reasonable lengths. They need a seamless way to bridge the cash flow gap, and FundThrough provides a tech-enabled financial solution,” said Steven Uster, FundThrough’s CEO. “Now, Ampla’s technology significantly enhances FundThrough’s AI-powered model, enabling us to level the playing field further. With Ampla, we can scale faster, enhance our credit underwriting and monitoring processes, and help even more businesses solve their number one pain point, cash flow. I’m excited to work with Anthony, a proven entrepreneur with vast knowledge in this space.”

    Ampla’s CEO, Anthony Santomo, will remain a strategic advisor to FundThrough and will be joined by his core team. “I’m excited about Ampla’s acquisition by FundThrough and the potential of the combined platform to support small businesses. This strategic move enhances commerce capabilities and provides operators with greater resources to succeed,” said Santomo.

    In addition to the acquisition, FundThrough also raised $25 million in its Series B round, led by existing investor Klister Credit Corp., an early and large investor in both Shopify and FundThrough. This strategic investment fuels aggressive expansion into key growth areas, including further acquisitions, investments in technology and AI, enhanced UX, and accelerated product innovation.

    “Steven’s leadership has firmly established FundThrough as a bellwether in the fintech and specialty finance industry. FundThrough’s track record over the past years of uncertainty is impressive. FundThrough has stayed tightly focused on robustly serving the needs of small businesses forced to hold receivables from their much larger, better-capitalized customers,” said John Phillips, President of Klister. “The outlook for small business growth continues to be positive, and my increased investment reflects my confidence in the FundThrough team’s continuing focus on serving this important market through the best service and continual product innovation.”

    “As small businesses navigate the evolving global tariffs, the best thing they can do is preserve their cash flow. FundThrough helps bridge the gap by providing peace of mind for business owners during these uncertain times,” concluded Uster.

    FundThrough continues to earn recognition for its growth and technology, landing spots on the Deloitte Fast 500 and Globe & Mail’s Report on Business Top Growing Companies List.

  • MIL-OSI: InStride’s Hybrid Clinical Cohorts Fill High-Need Roles in Healthcare

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LOS ANGELES, April 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — InStride, a human capital management company providing strategic education benefits, today announced a hybrid education model that empowers healthcare organizations to fill critical roles by developing talent from within. InStride’s hybrid clinical cohorts combine online learning with in-hospital training, enabling providers to rapidly fill critical roles such as medical assistants, surgical technologists, and radiologic technologists. With over 400 employee participants across multiple states, InStride’s model is operating at an unprecedented scale in the industry—delivering both workforce and financial impact. Already, two major healthcare systems have saved over $10 million by using this model to train surgical technologists, cutting contingent labor costs.

    “Healthcare systems find their hands tied, as they can’t hire their way out of today’s clinical workforce shortages,” said Craig Maloney, CEO at InStride. “Together with our partners, we’re changing that by making it easier than ever to identify and develop that talent from within. Our hybrid clinical cohorts are a scalable and cost-effective way to fill these high-need roles, and our hands-on program support ensures both employees and organizations see results.”

    Addressing critical healthcare workforce shortages

    Allied health professionals make up over 60% of the healthcare workforce, yet many of these roles face significant shortages. For example, radiology technologist vacancies have surged to 18%, nearly triple the rate from three years ago, delaying imaging services and prolonging hospital stays. Healthcare organizations must find solutions to train and retain this talent internally rather than relying solely on external hiring.

    InStride’s hybrid, cohort-based approach

    Unlike traditional training models, InStride partners with healthcare providers to develop clinical cohorts tailored to address specific workforce needs. By combining structured online learning with hands-on experience, these programs are designed for efficiency, higher completion rates, and real-world impact.

    Key features of hybrid clinical cohorts include:

    • Cohort-based learning: Employees progress through structured programs together, fostering peer support and improved completion rates.
    • Custom pathways for high-demand roles: Programs cover medical assistants, surgical technologists, and emerging pathways for radiologic technologists and cytologists.
    • On-the-job training: Integration with onsite hospital training programs ensures learners gain real-world experience while earning credentials.

    Unmatched support from start to finish

    InStride’s clinical cohorts ease strain on healthcare teams by delivering end-to-end support that sets employees up for success. From cohort design to clinical training, InStride works closely with healthcare leaders and academic partners to ensure the right participants are enrolled and fully supported. With clear visibility into employee progress, organizations can confidently fill high-need roles with employees who are ready to step in and make an impact.

    Proven impact

    Franklin University, one of InStride’s academic partners collaborating to deliver clinical cohorts, offers a clear view of the model’s success:

    “We have seen firsthand how these clinical cohorts drive stronger learner outcomes,” said Jonathan McCombs, Ph.D., Dean of the College of Health and Public Administration at Franklin University. “Learners consistently achieve higher pass rates on certification exams—23 percentage points above the national average on the NCCT TS-C exam—thanks to the combined strength of the program’s structure, practitioner faculty, close support, and our close alignment with workforce needs.”

    By providing a clear pathway to certification, InStride’s cohort-based approach bridges the gap between education and employment in high-demand clinical fields. With stronger outcomes and ongoing support, healthcare providers build a steady pipeline of skilled professionals, reducing turnover, lowering hiring costs, and addressing workforce shortages in roles like surgical technology and beyond.

    About InStride

    InStride is a human capital management company that solves corporate talent challenges through strategic education benefits and skills development solutions. By breaking down barriers to learning, fostering career growth aligned with organizational goals, and simplifying program management, InStride delivers lasting impact. Partnering with forward-thinking companies like Labcorp, Adidas, and SSM Health, InStride drives meaningful social and business outcomes by providing access to life-changing education.

    News story

    Independent review turns to tackling Britain’s biggest crime

    Jonathan Fisher KC has begun work on part 2 of his Independent Review of Disclosure and Fraud Offences.

    Photo: Getty Images

    Better protections for the British public against fraud, and tougher enforcement against the perpetrators, will be the goals of the first independent review carried out in 40 years into the UK’s fraud laws.

    Jonathan Fisher KC has begun work on part 2 of his Independent Review of Disclosure and Fraud Offences which marks the first independent review of fraud legislation in the UK since 1986. During this time, the nature and scale of fraud has evolved considerably, with fraud now constituting over 40% of all offences recorded by the Crime Survey for England and Wales.

    Where Lord Roskill’s 1986 review focused mostly on the serious fraud committed by corporate entities, the huge increase in fraud offences over the last decade has come at the expense of ordinary consumers and small businesses, targeted by highly organised gangs, many of them based overseas.

    The resulting harm to society is severe, with fraud against individuals in England and Wales alone recently estimated to cost more than £6.8 billion every year.

    Fraud has also been transformed by the impact of modern technology, with the increasing use of artificial intelligence to create scambots, deepfakes, and websites impersonating established businesses and public authorities. Fraud gangs have the ability to target tens of thousands of Britons every hour through social media, email and telephone, and only need to persuade a small fraction of those individuals to fall for their scams in order to make millions of pounds.

    The Home Office will place these emerging threats at the heart of its new, expanded fraud strategy to be published later this year, but it will also be vital to have the independent analysis provided by Jonathan Fisher KC to inform the response required from government, law enforcement and industry. And with international cooperation to disrupt threats a key national security commitment within its Plan for Change, the government is also building a united global response as part of its strategy to tackle fraud.

    Part 2 of the Fisher Review will therefore examine the largest challenges faced by law enforcement in bringing criminals committing fraud offences to justice in England and Wales. Specifically, it will consider key issues in each following stage of the fraud life cycle:

    • detection and reporting
    • disruption
    • investigation
    • prosecution and offences
    • courts
    • penalties
    • rehabilitation

    This follows the publication of part 1 of Jonathan Fisher KC’s review, Disclosure in the Digital Age, which recommended a range of measures to modernise the disclosure system and free up police time, and which is now being taken forward by the Home Office, the Ministry of Justice and the Attorney General’s Office.

    Fraud Minister Lord Hanson said:

    Fraud is a crime which can devastate lives, and I am determined to do everything possible to bring these criminals to justice.

    I welcome Jonathan Fisher KC’s review which will help us expand our knowledge base about how to better detect, disrupt and deter fraudsters and deliver a swifter justice for the victims, as part of our Plan for Change.

    The government is determined to continue our fight against this appalling crime, and I look forward to the outcome of this important review.

    Attorney General Lord Hermer KC said:

    Fraud is one of the most pernicious crimes. The criminals driving these schemes are using ever more sophisticated tactics to scam their victims. It is crucial that our criminal justice system keeps pace. 

    Fraud doesn’t discriminate against age, gender or sex and it leaves victims suffering financial loss and emotional distress. I welcome this independent review of fraud and look forward to considering any findings as part of our Plan for Change.

    Independent Review Chair, Jonathan Fisher KC said:

    With the advances in digital technology, it has become much easier for fraudsters to avoid detection, and indeed prosecution, outright.

    This review aims to scrutinise the main challenges in detecting, investigating, and prosecuting fraud offences, and what can be done to better equip law enforcement to deliver swifter justice for victims.

    I am greatly appreciative of the criminal justice system-wide engagement since the launch of this independent review and for the continued encouragement as I turn my focus to examine fraud offences.

    SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Illumio, the breach containment company, is proud to announce the appointment of George J. Tenet, former Director of Central Intelligence, to its Board of Directors. With a career spanning national security, intelligence, and investment banking, Tenet’s unparalleled expertise makes him an invaluable addition to Illumio’s leadership team. His expansive knowledge will be instrumental as the company advances its mission to contain breaches before they become cyber disasters.

    “George Tenet embodies leadership in the best and most challenging circumstances,” said Andrew Rubin, CEO and Founder of Illumio. “His deep understanding of cybersecurity, national security, business, and mission-driven teamwork will be instrumental in advancing our vision during this pivotal time for both Illumio and the industry. George has been a mentor, advisor, and supporter of Illumio since our earliest days, and we are honored to have him officially join our Board.”

He was instrumental in standing up In-Q-Tel, (now known as IQT) an independent, not-for-profit strategic investment firm that assists startups in adapting their products to help government partners and the companies’ commercial success.

    His strategic insights and leadership acumen have been widely recognized, earning him high-profile advisory roles in both the public and private sectors, where he has continued to influence critical decisions on cybersecurity and national defense.

    Following his career in public service, Tenet spent 17 years at Allen & Company LLC, a privately held investment bank in New York. For 12 of those years, he served as Chairman of the company.

    In commenting on his appointment, Tenet said: “Cybersecurity is no longer just a technical challenge; it’s a strategic imperative for every organization. Illumio’s approach to breach containment, powered by an AI-driven security graph, represents the kind of forward-thinking innovation needed to counter today’s sophisticated threats. I’m honored to join them in this mission.”

    Director Tenet’s appointment comes as Illumio is redefining the cybersecurity landscape through its breach containment platform, powered by its proprietary AI security graph. Illumio enables organizations to quickly identify, mitigate, and contain threats across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Whether it’s sharing healthcare information or receiving relevant offers from favorite brands, BEN’s new iSKYE platform individualizes each engagement vs. LLMs delivering generic responses.

    “Businesses are quickly learning that sole reliance on large language models (LLMs) is not sufficient to ensure appropriate engagement with the users,” said Paul Chang, CEO of Brand Engagement Network. “LLMs are important components of GenAI but they are prone to hallucinations and inappropriate responses. iSKYE is the result of BEN’s multi-year effort to evolve a set of orchestrated AI modules from its original SKYE AI Agents(1)into a robust turnkey GenAI platform. iSKYE provides businesses with the ability for its users to have personalized and natural dialogue with the AI Agents while injecting process control and management to the interactions.”

    • Small Footprint for Cost-Effective Deployment – iSKYE’s small footprint architecture allows for more efficient deployment with lower infrastructure and operational costs. It can run on CPUs, reducing energy consumption while maintaining performance and scalability, making AI more accessible without compromising user experience.
    • Scalable, Adaptable Architecture for Seamless Integration – iSKYE integrates with existing workflows and legacy enterprise systems, supporting high-precision, industry-specific applications across sectors like healthcare, finance, and automotive. Its scalable design allows AI solutions to evolve alongside business needs, automating routine tasks to support teams and improve operational efficiency.
    • Fully Customizable AI Agent – With iSKYE’s built-in graphics studio, businesses can design lifelike 3D AI avatars tailored to their exact needs. From appearance, to gestures, to speech tone, every agent feature is configurable to align with brand goals and deliver a personalized customer experience.
    • Enterprise-Grade Security and Compliance – iSKYE’s closed-loop system ensures HIPAA and SOC2 compliance on U.S.-based cloud servers. The platform supports on-premise deployment and even offline usage, providing businesses assurance on data security and regulatory compliance.

    Looking ahead, BEN plans to expand the iSKYE platform with additional industry-specific solutions, white-label offerings, OEM partnerships, and plug-in modules to further enhance its flexibility and functionality. We believe these innovations will help businesses unlock ever greater potential and drive more impactful AI-driven engagement across various sectors.

  • MIL-OSI: NNN Community RelauNNNch: A New Era Begins on Base

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, April 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NNN, the decentralized security and community-powered ecosystem, has officially launched its presale and begun its migration to the Base blockchain. This strategic move marks a new chapter for the project, with revamped tokenomics, staking rewards, a dynamic Karma system, and a complete brand refresh designed for Web3-native users and builders.

    Migration to Base: A strategic shift

    The relaunch centers around a full transition from BNB Chain to Base, one of the fastest-growing L2 ecosystems. By leveraging Base’s infrastructure, NNN gains access to deeper liquidity, higher performance, and broader ecosystem support.

    ‘Base gives us the composability, credibility, and developer network to scale but more importantly, it enables seamless 0-gas transactions within the NNN ecosystem. That’s a key UX advantage for our tools and staking flows.’

    • Lukas Balga, Co-founder of the NNN Community

    The migration is already underway. A snapshot was taken on Dec 24, 2024, and eligible holders of the old NNN token can now begin the swap process through the official portal. Migration is open until Dec 31, 2026, with a favorable MC-based swap rate and the option to send new tokens to a fresh Base wallet for privacy and security.

    Tokenomics & presale details

    The new NNN token has a total supply of 4.2 billion, with structured vesting and allocation designed to support long-term value creation. The presale is split across 7 rounds, each with increasing price and a 3-month cliff + 12-month linear vesting.

    Early supporters gain priority access and discounted rates starting at $0.006. The public round will offer 420M tokens (10% of supply) at $0.01429 with no vesting fully unlocked at TGE.

    Presale funds will be allocated across key pillars:

    • 35.54% to liquidity provisioning on DEXs
    • 32.46% to marketing & community growth
    • 16% to CEX listing support
    • 8% to development
    • 8% to reserves

    What’s New in NNN?

    The relaunch is more than a chain migratio, it’s a full upgrade of the ecosystem:

    • Karma System: A unique engagement layer that rewards active contributors with early unlocks and USDC bonuses.
    • Staking Rewards: Up to 25% bonus on top of base APR for long-term stakers, with flexible lock options and full Karma integration.
    • Ambassador Program: A tiered contributor system rewarding memes, threads, infographics, and community education with seasonal point-based token rewards.
    • Affiliate & KOL Structure: Performance-based incentives in USDC for community shillers and macro influencers alike.
    • No Transaction Fees: Unlike the previous token version, NNN eliminates tax mechanics, increasing CEX compatibility and user-friendliness.
    • Proxy-Based Smart Contracts: Upgradeability is now built-in via audited proxy contracts, ensuring long-term flexibility without needing future migrations.

    Ecosystem Alignment & Revenue Streams

    Every product within the NNN ecosystem directly supports token value:

    • GuardiaNNN.ai (20% revenue → staking rewards + Karma)
    • SigNNNal (30% revenue → staking + Karma)
    • Republeague (5% revenue → staking + Karma)

    A portion of these earnings is used to buy back and stake NNN tokens, while an equivalent amount in USDC funds community Karma rewards, establishing a recurring value loop.

    Brand Refresh and Identity Update

    The relaunch is also a chance to reshape how NNN shows up to the world.The updated branding introduces a more relatable tone and refreshed visual style – aiming to strike a balance between professionalism and community appeal, with aesthetics rooted in Web3 culture.

    This identity refresh will roll out across the presale website, social channels, and campaign materials, culminating in a new launch narrative that’s designed with the community, for the community.

    About NNN

    NNN is a decentralized Web3 ecosystem focused on blockchain security, community infrastructure, and open participation. Through smart contract tools, contributor programs, and user-friendly staking systems, NNN empowers users to build, audit, and earn – all while staying aligned with the values of decentralization.

    With its move to Base, NNN sets the foundation for long-term growth and mass adoption through transparent governance, sustainable tokenomics, and community-first design.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Tatyana Golikova: More than 474 thousand Russians visited the regional stage of the All-Russian Job Fair – 2025

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    Source: Government of the Russian Federation – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    More than 474 thousand job seekers took part in the regional stage of the All-Russian Job Fair “Work of Russia. Time of Opportunities”. Of these, over 80 thousand people received offers from employers. The events took place on April 18 throughout the country, and in another 9 regions, job seekers had the opportunity to visit the fair sites on Saturday, April 19.

    “Today, the labor market in Russia is extremely dynamic, there is high competition among enterprises for qualified specialists. Therefore, events such as the All-Russian Job Fair are necessary. This year it was held for the third time, and we are again seeing high figures. Over 474 thousand job seekers visited the regional stage of the fair in two days,” noted Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova.

    The total number of venues for the fair’s events is more than 2.7 thousand.

    “The All-Russian Job Fair has proven itself to be an effective tool for recruiting employees and finding work. This year, the largest number of visitors to the fair was in the Volga Federal District – 113 thousand people and the Southern Federal District – 79 thousand people. In the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporizhia regions, the regional stage brought together more than 9 thousand job seekers and 720 employers. The Ministry, as before, will monitor employment following the event. At the moment, over 80 thousand people have already received job offers, we will summarize the final results in this part 60 days after the end of the fair,” said Minister of Labor and Social Protection Anton Kotyakov.

    The program of events for each stage in each constituent entity of the Russian Federation was compiled taking into account the characteristics of the local labor market and is designed for visitors of different ages.

    Applicants had the opportunity to meet with leading employers in person, receive advice on the opportunities and support measures of the employment service, take part in an industrial tour of production or a VR tour of enterprises, take career guidance trainings and master classes, including those using artificial intelligence. For example, in the Samara Region, an interactive zone “Get to Know Yourself in a Profession with the Help of AI” was organized, which became a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of various professions and see yourself in new roles. In Buryatia, career guidance testing using the digital platform “PROF-orientir” developed by the Republican Employment Agency was very popular among visitors to the fair. After answering the test questions, respondents identified their main psychological characteristics that are important for choosing a particular profession.

    A large number of events at the fair were organized for schoolchildren and students who are just beginning to look at professions and build their career path. In Karelia, they even held a training game “Process Factory” for preschoolers aged 6-7, aimed at introducing children to professions in the catering industry and gaining their first knowledge of the basics of lean manufacturing and organizing teamwork.

    This year, as part of the regional stage of the fair, the “Festival of Professions” was held in most regions, dedicated to the large-scale competition “Best in Profession”. Thus, at one of the sites in the Nizhny Novgorod Region, testing of the competition participants in the category “Seamstress” was conducted, and in the Tambov Region, a presentation of the competition in the nomination “Mechanizer” was held.

    The federal stage of the job fair will be held in all regions of the country on June 27. Detailed information about the stage will be available atportal “Work of Russia”.

    Let us recall that the All-Russian Job Fair “Work of Russia. Time of Opportunities” has been held since 2023 on the instructions of the President. Since 2025, the All-Russian Job Fair has been one of the events of the national project “Personnel”.

  • MIL-OSI Europe: Written question – Olive oil tasting panel and development of objective sensory analysis methods – E-001485/2025

    Source: European Parliament

    Question for written answer  E-001485/2025
    to the Commission
    Rule 144
    Carmen Crespo Díaz (PPE), Juan Ignacio Zoido Álvarez (PPE)

    The olive oil industry in the EU faces many challenges, such as tariffs on exports to key markets, production volatility owing to adverse weather conditions, and energy costs. Adding to its difficulties is the sector’s growing concern about the reliability of the tasting panel system for classifying olive oil.

    This sensory method – key to determining products’ commercial category – has a significant margin of error and a degree of subjectivity, which creates uncertainty for producers, affecting the competitiveness of a product of very high quality such as European olive oil.

    Against that backdrop and given the EU’s commitment to innovation in the agri-food sector:

    • 1.With a view to providing greater legal certainty and fairness in the marketing of European olive oil on the internal market and elsewhere, is a review of the classification system being considered?
    • 2.Does the Commission plan to promote specific research lines or funding programmes to develop and validate technologies complementary to the tasting panel, such as spectrometry, artificial intelligence or advanced chemical analyses, which allow for a more objective and accurate assessment of the qualities of olive oil?

Scientists from the Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine have conducted a large-scale study and found a new and reliable way to test AI systems in this area. Until now, there was no clear answer to the question of how many studies are needed to objectively test a neural network. We had to test on huge samples, which required a lot of time and resources. Now we know exactly how many studies are needed to evaluate the accuracy of AI, and when further increasing the sample does not change the result. This discovery will allow developers to quickly adapt their technologies, and doctors to use them more effectively in their work,” said Yuri Vasiliev.

    He added that now the capital’s specialists will be able to implement AI services even faster, being confident in their reliability. The method has already proven its effectiveness in radiation diagnostics, but it can also be used in other areas of medicine. This approach will help make artificial intelligence an even more accurate and safe tool for doctors and patients, which means it will improve the quality of diagnostics and speed up the detection of diseases at early stages.

    Scientists analyzed more than two million test variants and proved that at least 400 studies are needed to objectively assess the accuracy of binary classification algorithms (for example, identifying pathologies in images). Of these, at least 10 percent should belong to each of the classes, that is, have the noted signs of pathologies. Further increase in the sample does not change the result, which makes this method the most effective. The study was conducted using radiation diagnostics as an example, but this approach can be applied in other areas where AI works on the “yes or no” principle. This discovery will allow faster testing and implementation of artificial intelligence in medicine, increasing its accuracy and reliability.

    “Classical methods of testing artificial intelligence did not give an exact answer to the question of how many studies are needed to objectively verify its accuracy. The complexity of the problems that AI solves in medicine is constantly growing, so scientists from the Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine proposed an alternative approach. They analyzed more than two million combinations of test sample parameters and 25 thousand images, studied the behavior of diagnostic metrics and proved that at least 400 studies are needed to obtain a stable result. The minimum share of each class should be at least 10 percent, that is, 40 studies, and a further increase in the sample does not affect the final accuracy. The data obtained does not depend on the type of images or a specific neural network, which makes the method universal. The study was conducted using radiation diagnostics as an example, but this approach can be scaled to other medical AI systems with binary classification, which will be the next stage of scientific work,” added Yuri Vasiliev.

    Article “An Empirical Method for Calculating Sample Size for Testing Artificial Intelligence Algorithms” has already received a positive review from academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences and other involved parties and has become the winner of the AI Journey competition.

    Since 2020, the Diagnostics and Telemedicine Center has been conducting the world’s largest prospective clinical study – an experiment on the implementation of computer vision for the analysis of medical images. Scientists have developed unique methods for a comprehensive assessment of the quality and maturity of AI technologies. In addition, they have substantiated specific methods and scenarios for the use of such technologies in the work of the radiation diagnostic service.

    Center for diagnostics and telemedicine Moscow Department of Health— a leading scientific and practical organization in the structure of the social development complex of the Moscow City Hall. It was founded in 1996. The center specializes in the implementation of artificial intelligence technologies in medicine, the development of radiation diagnostics, the organization of the work of departments in medical institutions, conducting scientific research, and educating health workers.

    The project is in line with the goals and objectives of the Moscow healthcare development strategy until 2030 and is aimed at improving the quality and accessibility of medical care for residents of the capital.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: “HSE is a very good place: smart students, strong teaching staff”

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    Source: State University Higher School of Economics – State University Higher School of Economics –

    Sergey Kuksin

    © Higher School of Economics

    Since March of this year Faculty of Mathematics, National Research University Higher School of Economics The leading Russian mathematician, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Honorary Professor of the University of Edinburgh, National Professor of the PRC and laureate began working Prizes named after A.M. Lyapunova Sergey Kuksin. In an interview with Vyshka.Glavnoe, he spoke about the role of personality in mathematics, KAM theory, and why analysis is so relevant today.

    — Sergey Borisovich, what brought you to the HSE?

    — A year ago, I received a mega-grant from the Russian government, started working at RUDN and visiting Moscow for seminars, and when the grant ended, I was offered a job at HSE. I know many people at the HSE Mathematics Department. Mathematicians, they are all connected one way or another. True, given that mathematics is divided into three large parts: algebra, geometry and analysis. What is algebra, it is clear, right? For example, it is addition of fractions, square trinomial, “x plus y squared” and so on. Geometry, as we all remember well, is plane geometry, problems on construction and all that sort of thing. Well, and analysis is when there are functions and graphs.

    – And which one of them are you?

    – I am analysis.

    — Have you been here before?

    — Of course, I have. HSE is a very good place: smart students, a strong faculty. Many years ago, I even gave a short course of lectures at the local mathematics department. But that experience was not very successful. The thing is that the HSE department was organized by big algebra enthusiasts and was focused on algebra, so the students were not very impressed. They simply did not understand why they needed it. And that is wrong. Everyone needs to know analysis. Analysis is also probability theory, which is very relevant now, since it is closely related to such topics as artificial intelligence, machine translation, and pattern recognition. By the way, the then management understood this well when they invited me to give the course. But in mathematics, in order to get something moving, you have to make serious efforts. And it seems that this is happening now — the expansion of the profile of the mathematics department. That is partly why they invited me.

    — Will you teach or work as a researcher?

    — First of all, I will work as a researcher. One of my main tasks is to participate in the creation of a seminar with the preliminary title “Dynamics, Analysis and Probability”. I would like it to be a seminar of the highest level, with the involvement of good speakers who motivate students to develop in this area. This is not easy, but it is possible, especially since the impetus to develop the analysis component comes from the faculty management. In particular, from the dean Alexandra Skripchenko. By the way, she recently defended her doctoral dissertation.

    — Remember the most vivid impression in your life related to mathematics.

    — My parents, with whom I was very lucky, subscribed to several magazines for me. One of them was “Knowledge is Power”. Once, when I was still in high school, I read an article about mathematics. And there was a phrase in it that I still remember: “The heights of mathematics are beautiful, and it’s a pity that very few can admire them.” I wanted to admire them and, yes, I confirm: they are beautiful.

    — What qualities do you need to have to become a good mathematician?

    — You know, mathematics is, fortunately, a gift that manifests itself early. Or doesn’t. That is, a person already at school understands whether mathematics is for him or not. Already in high school, I couldn’t imagine that I would do anything else in this life.

    — Which of your scientific achievements do you consider the most significant?

    – I’ll start from afar. There was such a scientist, the largest Soviet mathematician Andrei Nikolaevich Kolmogorov. He was a completely fantastic person who made a huge contribution to mathematics. Including was the founder of Cam-theoria. This is an abbreviation composed of the first letters of the surnames of the authors: Kolmogorov, Arnold and Moser. And now let’s figure out what Cam-theoria is. Consider the solar system. For this, they usually take five main planets from Venus to Saturn. We know that each planet rotates according to the ellipse – according to the law of Kepler. This is because the sun attracts it. But besides, the planets interact with each other. Therefore, their movement – the Kepler movement – is gradually distorted. And there is a relatively simple equation that describes how the planet interacts with the sun. But when we also take into account the interaction of the planets with each other, then small disturbances and interaction are added to the main equation. Due to these interactions, the orbit of the planets begin to gradually deform. The question that Isaac Newton still raised is what will happen to this ellipse, for example, after a million years? After all, he can burst, and then the planet will fly away to distant galaxies. The ellipse can stretch out so much that at the point closest to the sun, the planet will fall into the sun and burn. Ellips orbits of different planets can cross, and the planets will collide. It is clear, not in the next ten thousand years, but still. It was an outstanding, wonderful task, and it was solved with the help of Cam-theoria.

    – And what is the answer?

    — The answer is negative: the orbits will always be close to the initial ones. The exact statement is more complicated and has significant reservations, which it is inappropriate to state now. But such a simplified story describes the essence of KAM theory quite accurately. To answer your question about my contribution to mathematics: I learned to do calculations for systems that have not five or even five hundred, but an infinite number of components. This was the topic of my doctoral dissertation — “KAM theory for partial differential equations.”

    — You were awarded the Lyapunov Prize of the Russian Academy of Sciences for it?

    — Yes, that’s right: for the creation and development of the Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser theory for partial differential equations.

    — What would you like to achieve while working at the Higher School of Economics?

    — To participate in the development of analysis at the HSE in particular and in Moscow in general. During the Soviet Union, analysis here was very strong, but for a number of reasons it has declined significantly. Unlike, say, algebra. Which confirms the thesis about the role of personality in history, since this happened solely due to the efforts of several outstanding algebraists who never left Moscow. They were the ones who preserved the seminars and the youth in the seminars.

    — Would you like to become the person in mathematics who will move analysis forward?

    — I would like to participate.

  • MIL-OSI: New Trading Bot Pivozon Targets Gold Traders Using Hourly Chart Strategies

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    DUBAI, UAE, April 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Avenix Fzco has introduced Pivozon, an advanced EA designed for XAU/USD traders who prefer the structure and discipline of H1-based swing trading. There’s a noticeable shift in the forex trading world. A growing number of traders are moving to higher timeframes, embracing swing trading strategies that focus on patience and precision over rapid trades. This change reflects a growing desire for sustainable trading practices that align with longer-term market movements and help reduce the emotional strain of fast-paced decision-making.

    Why Traders Prefer Higher Timeframes

    Trading on higher timeframes, like the H1 (hourly) or D1 (daily) charts, offers clear benefits:

    Less Market Noise: Shorter timeframes often exaggerate market volatility. Higher timeframes filter out this noise, making real trends easier to spot.

    Better Decision-Making: With more time to evaluate conditions, traders can avoid impulsive entries and plan with a clear head.

    Reduced Stress & Increased Profitability: Slower-paced trading helps maintain emotional discipline while capturing bigger price moves with stronger setups. It also encourages a more methodical, strategic mindset over constant screen-watching.

    Pivozon: Built for Higher Timeframe Trading

    Supporting this shift is Pivozon, a trading bot developed by Avenix Fzco. Tailored specifically for the XAU/USD (Gold/US Dollar) pair on the H1 timeframe, it brings a swing trading mindset to automation, focusing on sustained market moves instead of short-lived spikes.

    Key Features of Pivozon:

    • H1 Timeframe Focus: Trades in alignment with the natural flow of the gold market, focusing on trend reversals and sustained price movements rather than short-term fluctuations.
    • Structured Precision: Built with robust trading algorithms, Pivozon’s system executes calculated trades based on structured, rule-driven strategies, allowing traders to benefit from well-timed entries and exits.
    • Gold-Centric Optimization: Unlike multi-asset bots, Pivozon is fine-tuned for the behavior of gold, offering deeper insight and stronger performance in this specific market.
    • Automated Execution & 24/5 Market Monitoring: The system runs continuously, executing trades based on pre-set parameters while eliminating emotional trading decisions. Traders don’t need to monitor charts around the clock, Pivozon does it for them with reliable consistency.

    The Future of Swing Trading

  • MIL-OSI Global: The rise of Brazil’s fuel mafias and their gas station money laundering machines

    Source: The Conversation – Global Perspectives – By Robert Muggah, Richard von Weizsäcker Fellow na Bosch Academy e Co-fundador, Instituto Igarapé

    Brazil’s federal police recently pulled back the curtain on a criminal web that had infiltrated the country’s fuel distribution chains. What looked like ordinary gas stations were, in fact, outposts of a vast laundering machine, washing dirty money with diesel and ethanol. According to Justice Minister Ricardo Lewandowski, more than 1,000 service stations across the country were overseen by organised crime syndicates.

    The plot thickened when Rio de Janeiro’s state police launched raids against the so-called “fuel mafia”, dismantling a racket that sold millions of liters of adulterated fuel. In the process, they revealed a network of ghost companies churning out fake invoices.

    Crime moves into the fuel sector

    Across Brazil organised crime is diversifying beyond narcotics, arms trafficking into the biofuel and fossil fuel sectors. Criminal factions with names such as the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC), Comando Vermelho (CV), and militia groups made-up of retired and active duty police are expanding into fuel theft, smuggling, tax evasion, and money laundering. The pivot by Brazil’s criminal underworld underscores their adaptability in exploiting legitimate markets.

    Fuel theft is hardly new to Brazil. The country’s top fuel distributors – Ale, BR, Ipiranga, and Raizen – have warned of criminal infiltration. But the costs of these illegal activities are significant. According to ICL, an industry group, illegal profits generated by gas stations amounted to $23 billion reais($3.89 billion) in 2021.

    A 2022 study by the Brazilian Public Security Forum (FBSP) revealed that criminal organisations generated approximately 146.8 billion reais (around $25.4 billion) from sectors including fuel, gold, cigarettes, and beverages far surpassing the revenues from cocaine trafficking.

    Meanwhile, a 2024 assessment found that the costs of cargo-theft, fuel-related robberies and fraud generated annual losses of $29 billion reais. Vibra Energia estimated that roughly 13 billion liters of fuel were being traded through “irregular” means a year.

    Fake gas stations, adulterated fuel, and tax fraud

    Organised criminal groups employ multiple strategies to exploit the fuel sector. The most common involves the use of “pirate” gas stations — outlets that flout safety standards and sell adulterated and stolen fuel. Police have exposed hundreds of gas stations linked to individuals indicted or convicted for fuel-related offenses since 2015. In 2019, for example, BR purged its retail network of 730 stations nationwide suspected of involvement in “irregularities”.

    By 2023, the PCC reportedly extended its influence to five ethanol plants and approximately 1,100 of São Paulo’s 9,000 gas stations. And in 2024, police claimed that as many as 30 gas stations in Rio de Janeiro were under PCC control. Meanwhile, the National Agency for Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) reported that violations related to the use of methanol — a toxic substance commonly used to adulterate fuels—increased by over 73 percent compared to the previous year.

    Fraud and tax evasion are also common in the fuel sector. In Brazil, fuel taxes on ethanol vary from state to state. These discrepancies create incentives for enterprising criminals to purchase fuel from low-tax jurisdictions and resell in high-tax states to station owners who charge higher tax and pocket the difference.

    A 2019 study by FGV estimated that fuel-related tax evasion generated 7.2 billion reais ($1.3 billion), with major rewards for petrol station owners that laundered funds. There are also schemes that involve tax fraud in fuel production and illegal diesel imports. One prominent case involved Copape, a company that sold fuel below market price by evading import taxes and manipulating its product. The company was later shut down amid allegations of ties to the PCC.

    Another common strategy involves outright theft by installing clandestine taps and siphoning fuel from pipelines. This practice often leads to significant economic losses and poses environmental hazards and public safety risks. The process usually involves precise “insider” knowledge of pipeline networks. In 2019, for example, Petrobras identified over 261 such incidents in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo alone.

    The direct targeting of personnel and infrastructure has also occurred. In 2019, for example, more than 40 people were arrested in Rio de Janeiro in 2019 suspected of extorting and murdering Petrobras contactors. The group was described as highly organised with separate divisions for intimidating targets, tapping pipelines, transporting stolen fuel, and monitoring police movements. Stolen fuel can be sold on to asphalt companies, underground gas owners, and others.

    The entrenchment of organised crime in biofuels such as sugar and palm oil has resulted in confrontations with state authorities. In August 2024, 59,000 hectares of São Paulo’s sugarcane plantations were ravaged by fires resulting in losses of over 1 billion reais. Authorities suspect that the PCC orchestrated arson attacks as retaliation against government measures targeting their involvement in the adulterated fuel trade.

    And in February 2025, police in Rio de Janeiro revealed that operators of an illegal gambling (jogo do bicho) network were financing the criminal extraction of oil from underground pipelines. Proceeds were used to acquire equipment, rent fuel transport vehicles, and pay off personnel. In Rio, and elsewhere in Brazil, such activities undermine the rule of law, distort markets, and erode public trust.

    Technology-enabled solutions to disrupt fuel theft

    Preventing and disrupting infiltration of organised crime into the fuel sectors is challenging. Legal proceedings are often protracted. Efforts by fuel distributors to terminate franchise agreements with non-compliant operators are often stymied by prolonged court battles. The sophistication of Brazil’s criminal organisations also complicates enforcement efforts including their blending of illicit activities with legitimate business.

    At a minimum, federal and state authorities need to track gas stations and pipelines that are implicated in crime. Advanced tracking technologies that improve transparency in the fuel supply chain. And these solutions need to be bolstered by intelligence sharing across jurisdictions. One promising response comes from Brazil’s National Institute of Metrology (Inmetro) which has expanded its inspections of fuel pumps and product quality.

    Companies like Petrobras have ramped up their security measures to protect pipelines, refineries, transportation systems, and petrol stations. Advanced surveillance systems, including drones and sensor-based technology, are now being used by its subsidiary, TransPetro, to monitor pipeline integrity.

    Specialised response teams have also been established to detect and contain illegal taps. Petrobras and Transpetro have also increased collaboration with federal and state security forces to target organised crime cells involved in fuel theft and trafficking.

    In especially high-risk areas, particularly near major refineries such as Duque de Caxias in Rio de Janeiro, joint operations with law enforcement have resulted in arrests and the seizure of illegal equipment used to tap pipelines.

    Petrobras has invested in internal compliance, audit mechanisms, and fuel traceability systems to track product movement and prevent insider threats and diversion to illicit markets. The company has also partnered with regulatory agencies like the (National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels, or ANP) to tighten oversight over gas stations and transport companies suspected of facilitating the resale of adulterated or stolen fuel.

    Legislation and regulation is also needed to increase penalties for criminality in the fuel sector. Legal reforms, including a new bill approved in April 2025 targets companies that systematically evade taxes. Another bill is being explored that would mandate real-time electronic reporting of fuel sales and storage to ANP in order to increase traceability.

    A new Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry focusing on the relationship between organised crime and fuel is also about to be launched. Federal police, together with the financial intelligence unit (COAF) and tax authorities are also preparing a broad investigation into related activities.

    Addressing the infiltration of organised crime into Brazil’s biofuel and fossil fuel sectors requires more than enforcement — it demands a coordinated national strategy backed by industry cooperation. Enforced compliance, empowered regulators, transparent supply chains, and worker protections are essential. Without urgent and sustained action, organised crime will continue siphoning off Brazil’s future, weakening one of its most vital sectors.

    Outlook of 2025

    Revenue for 2025 is expected to be EUR 108-130 million and adjusted EBITA EUR 4.7-7.7 million.

    CEO Tomi Pienimäki:

    The first quarter of this year was challenging for Siili as the sluggish market conditions prevailed, and we took concrete steps to improve the profitability of our operations. However, many positive developments also occurred during the initial months of the year while we focused with determination on the implementation of our strategy.

    The Group’s revenue in January-March amounted to just under EUR 30 million, broadly at the previous year’s level. Adjusted EBITA for the first quarter amounted to EUR 1.3 million, 4.2% of revenue. Profitability came in slightly weaker than last year, in line with our expectations. However, when comparing to the previous year’s result, it is worth noting that the adjusted EBITA for the comparison period was improved by the temporary layoffs implemented during Q1 2024.

    During the initial months of the year, we have seen encouraging developments in the market, with our customers moving from testing artificial intelligence to firm transition programmes. In March, we launched a new Advisory service to accelerate our customers’ digital business and adoption of AI.

    An example of how we support our customers on their AI journey is an AI-assisted training programme we delivered for Alma Media at the beginning of the year. It is a tailored solution that helps Alma Media to integrate AI seamlessly into its operations and culture.

    Siili also worked with Varma to modernise a key system. The objective of the modernisation was to simplify the maintenance of the system and improve its scalability and development potential, ensuring it continues to meet Varma’s business needs reliably into the future. The work was carried out in stages and in close cooperation with the client, ensuring the continuous operability of the system.

    During the opening months of the year, we have also built new cooperation networks that allow extensive utilisation of Siii’s expertise. In March, Siili was accepted as a member in the Digital Defence Ecosystem, which brings together Finland’s leading technology companies to support national defence capabilities and the security of supply. Siili also became an NVIDIA partner earlier this year as part of the NVIDIA Partner Network (NPN), which significantly supports us in bringing scalable, production-ready AI solutions to our customers.

    In February–March, we adjusted our competence profile to align with the strategy we released last year, and current market conditions. Following change negotiations started in February, we will reduce 25 roles from Siili Finland’s functions and 8 from Siili Auto Finland. Actions affecting personnel are always difficult for the organisation, but we believe these adjustments will strengthen Siili’s competitiveness and profitability. With these measures, we estimate that we will achieve a total of 2.2 million euros in annual cost savings.

    To strengthen Siili’s competence profile, we concluded the acquisition of a majority stake in Integrations Group Oy at the beginning of the year. Integrations Group is now part of Siili, and the collaboration has started strongly. We continue to strengthen our competence profile in line with the strategy also through recruitment and human resources development.

    I want to thank all our customers and partners for the past few months, but above all, I extend my thanks to the Siili team for their commitment and outstanding work during the quarter.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Photos: Kaine Highlights Need to Continue Support for America’s Alliances on Official Visits to Poland, Ukraine, and Germany

    US Senate News:

    Source: United States Senator for Virginia Tim Kaine
    WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Tim Kaine, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services Committees, concluded a week-long trip of official visits in Poland, Ukraine, and Germany to highlight his support for America’s transatlantic partnerships and Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s brutal invasion. The visit came amid Russia’s horrific Palm Sunday attack on the Ukrainian town of Sumy, which killed dozens of innocent civilians, including children; global fallout from the Trump Administration’s chaotic tariff regime that not only punishes allies, but also severely inhibits defense cooperation; and reported plans to shrink America’s diplomatic presence abroad—even as China moves to expand its own footprint.
    “America has always been strongest and safest when we link arms with our allies. I traveled to Poland, Ukraine, and Germany this week to highlight the importance of that principle, especially in the face of Russia’s continued illegal invasion of Ukraine. Putin’s horrific Palm Sunday attack in Sumy was a disturbing—yet unsurprising—sign that Russia is not negotiating in good faith to stop the fighting. It’s more important than ever that we strengthen our relationships across the Atlantic. I know that I have colleagues on both sides of the aisle who see how the Trump Administration’s chaotic tariff regime and insulting comments about our friends abroad make that harder, and will keep doing all that I can to urge them to stand up for the alliances that keep America safe.”
    Photos of Kaine’s trip are available here.
    Kaine traveled to Poland to:
    Meet U.S. servicemembers stationed at the Logistical Support Area (LSA) in Jasionka, which has played a critical role in delivering security assistance to Ukraine since 2022.
    Visit Remote Maintenance Distribution Cell-Ukraine, a U.S. Army sustainment initiative that provides direct maintenance and repair support to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
    Meet with Rzeszów Mayor Konrad Fijolek. Rzeszów was given the distinction of “Rescuer City” by President Zelenskyy in honor of the humanitarianism, charity, and solidarity it has offered the Ukrainian people. Kaine is a former mayor and the meeting provided an opportunity to reaffirm U.S.-Polish cooperation on regional security, especially at the local level.
    Meet with Head of the National Security Bureau Lt. General Dariusz Lukowski, Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski, and Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz to discuss support for Ukraine and NATO.
    Visit the POLIN Museum, which is dedicated to telling the history of Jewish life in Poland, including the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Movement of 1943, in which Jewish insurgents in the Nazi-created ghetto resisted German troops and police who entered it to deport its surviving inhabitants.
    Then, Kaine traveled to Ukraine to:
    Meet with David Arakhamia, a leader of the Servant of the People political party in the Verkhovna Rada, and Sergiv Boyev, Deputy Minister of Defense for European Integration.
    Visit wounded Ukrainian veterans undergoing rehabilitation treatment at a NextStep Ukraine facility. NextStep Ukraine offers prosthetics, brain and spinal cord injury rehabilitation to veterans. The organization receives U.S. funding.
    Tour the Kyiv Combined Heat and Power Plant No. 5, a major infrastructure site that supplies both electricity and heat to five districts of the city, to highlight U.S. support for energy infrastructure in Ukraine. The facility was severely impacted by Russian missile strikes in October 2022 and again in March 2023. USAID provided the funding and expertise to restore the plant’s operations.
    Lay flowers at the Bucha Memorial that honors the civilians and prisoners of war killed by Russian forces during their occupation of the town in early 2022.
    Lay flowers at the Wall of Remembrance of the Fallen for Ukraine, which honors the lives of thousands of soldiers and volunteers who have died defending Ukraine. The Wall of Remembrance was created through a collaboration between the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate, the National Military History Museum, and civic memory organizations.
    Visit the site of the 1941 massacre at Babyn Yar, a ravine near Kyiv.
    Meet with Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union, a leading civil society coalition dedicated to promoting and protecting human rights in Ukraine and pursuing accountability for Russian war crimes.
    Then, Kaine traveled to Germany to:
    Meet with Norbert Röttgen, a member of the German Bundestag who has long led on German foreign affairs issues; Deputy Director-General of the German Ministry of Defense Major General Stefan Schulz; and the German State Secretary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Susanne Baumann. 
    Visit the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, a place of remembrance and commemoration for the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust.
    Visit United States European Command Headquarters in Stuttgart.
    Visit U.S. servicemembers assigned to United States Air Force Europe and Special Operations Command Europe in Ramstein.
