    Accessibility Statement

    • 22 May 2025

    Compliance status

    We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

    To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

    This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

    Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

    If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email [email protected]

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

    1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

      These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

    2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.

      Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Disability profiles supported in our website

    • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
    • Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
    • Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
    • ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
    • Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
    • Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

    1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over seven different coloring options.
    3. Animations – person with epilepsy can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
    7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

    Browser and assistive technology compatibility

    We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).

    Notes, comments, and feedback

    Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to [email protected]

    Official launch of LGBTQIA+ Awareness Week

    22 May 2025

    The launch of LGBTQIA+ Awareness Week took place last week with a special event and exhibition of a section of the Pride Quilt, created over thirty years ago.

    The event was attended by members of UNISON who first initiated Awareness Week, LGBTQIA support organisations Rainbow and Foyle Pride, and members of the Council’s recently established LGBTQIA+ Working Group, plus many friends and supporters of the LGBTQIA+ community.

    The section of the Quilt on display is a tribute to those who sadly lost their lives to AIDS and members of the family of one of the event’s founders Patrick Doherty were present at the launch. Patrick, who died from the disease, was fondly remembered by his family at the event, in particular his sister Karen who gave a moving speech about the ongoing need for support for the LGBTQIA+ community locally.

    Also speaking at the launch, Martin McConnelogue and Michael McLaughlin, fellow co-founders of LGBTQIA+ Awareness Week, stressed the importance of providing support for a marginalized community. They welcomed the event and the presence of the Doherty family and also thanked local organisations and Council for making a local launch possible. This was echoed by Jason Dunne of Foyle Pride.

  • MIL-OSI: XRP News: Top XRP Holders Join Remittix As PayFi May Change How The World Moves Money

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NEW YORK, May 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — With fresh regulatory clarity and the launch of XRP futures ETFs, the stage is set for a new era of institutional adoption. XRP whales are now looking to diversify into similar projects promising to transform cross-border payments, and they’ve landed on Remittix.

    This rising PayFi project has already secured over $15.1 million in presale funding ahead of a launch this year. There’s still time to be an early investor; here’s what to know.

    Things are looking up for XRP

    XRP is proving hard to ignore in 2025. After years of legal uncertainty, Ripple now has the clarity it needs. The SEC dropped its case earlier this year, propelling XRP’s price to a multi-year high of $3.31 and just below an all-time high of $3.40, now at around $2.35.

    Source: CoinGecko

    This XRP news has opened the door for big institutional growth, backed by upgrades to the XRP Ledger. It’s being fine-tuned for the real world, with Ethereum compatibility, custom smart contract extensions and even tokenized bonds through something called Multi-Purpose Tokens.

    That’s all alongside some of the most bullish XRP news this year: the launch of XRP futures ETFs through CME Group. That puts it alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum as one of the only tokens with a US-based futures contract and paves the way for a spot XRP ETF this year.

    It’s clear the tides of global money movement are shifting in Ripple’s favor and boosting XRP’s price. Big XRP holders are now diving into projects that align with the same mission faster, cheaper, compliant payments built for the world stage and Remittix is emerging as a top choice.

    Remittix is the PayFi pioneer

    Remittix is designed for the growing world of PayFi, where crypto meets everyday finance. It lets people convert over 40 different cryptocurrencies into fiat, then send that money straight to any global bank account. That’s all with a flat charge and near-instant settlement.

    The recipient doesn’t even need to know it started as a crypto payment. They just see the money land in their account like a normal transfer. That simplicity is part of what’s driving attention from XRP whales and investors looking for practical use cases in crypto.

    For businesses, Remittix opens even more doors. Through the Remittix Pay API, companies can accept crypto payments and settle them in fiat direct to their chosen bank account. There’s also a merchant account option that supports over 30 fiat currencies and 50+ crypto pairs in a neat, purpose-built dashboard.

    Behind it all is a supply-capped token (RMX) running on Ethereum, with 1.5 billion tokens total, half of which have gone to the presale. So far, over two-thirds have sold out with $15+ million raised, backed by a Solid Proof audit and a $250k Gleam competition.

    Remittix is already competing with names like Wise, Stripe and Coinbase, but it’s offering something they don’t: direct crypto-to-bank transfers. There’s a $194 trillion cross-border payments market to target and Remittix is aiming to carve out a serious share of it.

    XRP holders see bright things for Remittix

    Positive XRP news just keeps on coming and that provides a perfect foundation for Remittix’s bull run to continue. With direct crypto-to-bank transfers, fiat settlement and full business integration, Remittix is building real utility into the PayFi movement.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Leadership in Economics, Management and Trade: Polytechnic University Creates Platform for Interdisciplinary Dialogue

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University – Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University –

    The Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade held the All-Russian scientific-practical and educational-methodical conference “Fundamental and applied research in the field of management, economics and trade”. The conference was attended by teachers and scientists, representatives of the business community, government bodies, as well as the young academic generation – postgraduates and masters of universities. The geography of the conference covered ten regions of the Russian Federation and foreign countries: Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan.

    IPMET holds the conference for the ninth year in a row. This year, the main agenda touched upon the current issues of achieving technological leadership of Russia in the economy, management, trade, finance and economic security. Participants shared their research and experience in implementing applied solutions using modern mathematical and statistical tools, progressive digital technologies applicable to different levels of management: state, regional, industry, individual enterprises and organizations.

    The grand opening took place in the White Hall of the Polytechnic Universityplenary session “Artificial Intelligence in the Economy: Cross-Industry Solutions”. The session was moderated by the chairperson of the conference program committee, director of the Scientific and Educational Center for Information Technology and Business Analysis at Gazprom Neft, and professor at the Higher School of Engineering and Economics, Irina Rudskaya.

    The plenary session was held in the format of a panel discussion, at which the speakers touched upon current issues concerning the possibilities and problems of using artificial intelligence in various areas of the economy: industry, telecommunications, medicine, finance, education, and agriculture.

    The discussion turned out to be lively and non-trivial, since both speakers and participants were skillfully involved by the moderator in the discussion of the pressing issues of artificial intelligence, which was continued in other events of the conference.

    Arman Avetyan, Associate Professor of the Department of Management and Business at the Russian-Armenian University, who was invited to participate in the discussion, shared his experience of using artificial intelligence in the educational process during practical classes with students and postgraduates. Khamit Fattakhov, Director of Continuous Improvement of Production at Power Machines JSC, briefly spoke about the specifics of using AI tools to increase labor productivity and optimize operational processes in industry.

    Artificial intelligence goes beyond automation, creating inter-industry synergy: finance, education, industry. AI technologies not only increase efficiency, but also change management strategies, helping businesses adapt to digital challenges. That is why our conference brought together not only economists and IT specialists, but also representatives of business, healthcare, agriculture and science. Only interdisciplinary dialogue allows us to find a balance between innovation and sustainability, – says Irina Rudskaya.

    In addition to the plenary session, there were three round tables and 16 sections, including a section of the student scientific society.

    A separate section of the conference was devoted to educational and methodological issues of training personnel for strategically important sectors of the economy in modern conditions.

    Also, to celebrate the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, the conference included a section entitled “The Great Victory: Socio-Economic and Technological Aspects” with presentations on issues of economics, the social sphere and the development of technology in the war and post-war periods.

    An excursion to the Museum of History of SPbPU was organized for the conference guests, which was conducted by the museum director Valery Klimov, as well as a cultural program with a sightseeing tour of the city. The tour guides there were students from the Higher School of Service and Trade of the IPMET, majoring in Tourism and Hotel Business.

    On the last day of the conference, the head of the Department of Economic Theory Svetlana Golovkina gave a lecture on the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, “Science and Education in the Blockaded Polytechnic: a Feat of Intelligence.” The speaker clearly drew a line between human and artificial intelligence, and showed the role and significance of human thought in solving extremely complex problems during the blockade.

    The conference ended with the awarding of the winners of the competition of students’ research papers, as well as the winners and prize-winners of the competition for the support of scientific research of postgraduate students of the Institute of Mechanics and Technology, conducted with the financial support of the target capital “Economic Education” of the endowment fund of SPbPU.

    This year, when planning and organizing the conference, we set ourselves three main objectives. The first was to create a modern congress platform with a broad geographical and representative coverage for exchanging opinions and knowledge. The second was to offer and implement a lively professional discussion on topical issues of the fundamental and applied agenda for achieving Russia’s technological leadership in the economy, management and trade. And the third was to strengthen existing and establish new ties between conference participants, create conditions for effective interaction in the educational, scientific and industrial spheres. I would also like to emphasize the importance of our horizontal collaboration – the coordinated work of all structural divisions of IPMEiT in organizing the conference allowed us to use the scientific, personnel and resource potential of the institute as effectively as possible and expand the scope of participation, – summed up the results of the conference, IPMEiT Director Vladimir Shchepinin.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: PISH Polytechnic is in the first group of the best Advanced Engineering Schools of Russia

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University – Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University –

    The Digital Engineering School of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University entered the first group ranking of leading engineering schools in Russia. It reflects the quality of educational programs, scientific research, the degree of development of the development program and the management system. The rating is a guideline for school teams and their technology partners, in which areas they need to improve and develop their activities.

    The first group consists of:

    Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (Moscow) National Research University ITMO (Saint Petersburg) Bauman Moscow State Technical University (Moscow) Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (Saint Petersburg) National University of Science and Technology MISIS (Moscow) Samara State Medical University (Samara) Southern Federal University (Rostov-on-Don) Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin (Ekaterinburg) Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University (Kazan) National Research Tomsk State University (Tomsk)

    Along with the universities of the Ministry of Education and Science, the first wave of the project included universities of the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Digital Development, which already at the start of the project allowed for more comprehensive coverage of key sectors of the economy. The focus of the leading engineering schools and their technology partners was on strategically important areas, including automation and artificial intelligence, digital twins and new materials, optimization of technological processes, and unmanned aircraft systems. It is important that working with leading engineering schools has greatly interested businesses, so while the volume of state funding for the first wave of schools over three years amounted to 25.1 billion rubles, extra-budgetary investments amounted to 33.3 billion rubles, noted the head of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, Valery Falkov.

    The PISH rating, formed based on the results of defenses, will allow us to further monitor the dynamics of the development of leading engineering schools.

    Let us recall that on May 15, 2025, the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU at the Council for the consideration of issues and coordination of the activities of the Advanced Engineering School presented the results of its work and development plans for two and a half years.

    The program of the SPbPU PIS “Digital Engineering” allowed us to open many new modern laboratories and scientific and educational spaces at our university, develop and launch new master’s and additional professional education programs in relevant engineering areas. I would like to note that the SPbPU PIS also expanded its effective and systematic interaction with industrial partners – high-tech companies and corporations. In addition, it was in the “Digital Engineering” PIS that the qualified partnership model was successfully tested, which formed the basis of the SPbPU development program until 2030 and in the long term until 2036. Formed teams with competencies and experience in solving breakthrough scientific and technological problems, the created scientific and scientific-technological reserve and the established effective qualified partnership with industry will help us make a breakthrough in the scientific and technological sphere, aimed at ensuring the technological leadership of our country, – commented the rector of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, chairman of the St. Petersburg branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences Andrey Rudskoy.

    As a representative of the company – industrial partner of the SPbPU PISh, Director of the Department of Scientific and Technical Activities of JSC TVEL Alexey Shishkin noted: Fuel Company TVEL has been a strategic partner of the SPbPU PISh “Digital Engineering” since the beginning of the federal project Advanced Engineering Schools. Two and a half years of our joint activities have convincingly proven that the synergy of the competencies of the country’s leading polytechnic university and a high-tech company yields outstanding results, both in the field of training engineering personnel and in terms of R & D implementation. Already in 2024, graduates of the Master’s program of the Advanced Engineering School “Digital Engineering” were employed by the company “Centrotech-Engineering”, which is part of the management circuit of Fuel Company TVEL. Training at the SPbPU PISh gives young engineers a unique opportunity to use and implement the latest technologies in their activities, influencing the development of the nuclear industry. We are especially pleased that it was with the specialists of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU that at the end of 2024 we successfully completed a three-year project that was significant for TVEL Fuel Company and the entire nuclear industry – the development of digital twins of fuel assemblies for water-moderated nuclear reactors – TVS-K PWR and TVS WWER.

    The implementation of the strategic initiative of the Government of the Russian Federation “Advanced Engineering Schools” in the period from 2022 to 2024 was carried out within the framework of the federal project “Advanced Engineering Schools” of the state program “Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation”. Since 2025, the continuity of the activities of the project “Advanced Engineering Schools” has been ensured by including them in the federal project “Universities for the Generation of Leaders” of the national project “Youth and Children”.

  • MIL-OSI United Nations: Refugees in Kenya at risk of worsening hunger as WFP faces critical funding shortfall

    Source: World Food Programme

    NAIROBI – The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) today warned that refugees in Kenya are at risk of heightened levels of food insecurity as critical funding shortages force the agency to reduce food assistance to the lowest levels ever recorded.

    Around 720,000 refugees supported by WFP in Kenya will from June receive an in-kind food ration of just 28 percent and all cash assistance will halt, unless additional funding is received.

    Over the past five years, the number of refugees and asylum seekers in Kenya has increased by over 70 percent – from around 500,000 to 843,000 – as people have fled conflict and drought in neighbouring countries like Somalia and South Sudan. But, despite generous support from many donors, growing needs among refugees has outstripped the availability of funds.

    “WFP’s operations supporting refugees in Kenya are under immense strain,” said Baimankay Sankoh, WFP’s Deputy Country Director in Kenya. “With available resources stretched to their limits, we have had to make the difficult decision to again reduce food assistance. This will have a serious impact on vulnerable refugees, increasing the risk of hunger and malnutrition.”

    Many refugee households in Kenya are already experiencing high levels of food insecurity. The Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) rate among refugee children and pregnant or breastfeeding women in Kenya is above 13 percent. A GAM rate over 10 percent is classed as a nutrition emergency, particularly in refugee settings, meaning urgent intervention is required to prevent life-threatening complications from malnutrition. WFP nutrition programmes for children and mothers ended in late 2024 due to a lack of resources.

    In 2024, WFP, in partnership with Kenya’s Department of Refugee Services (DRS) and UNHCR, provided monthly food assistance – mostly as a mix of cash and in-kind food – to 720,000 refugees in Dadaab and Kakuma camps and Kalobeyei settlement. WFP has repeatedly adjusted rations sizes to align with available funds. The latest reduction in February gave refugees 40 percent of a full food ration based on a daily recommended intake of 2,100 kcal. 

    WFP also supports refugees and host communities with programmes that foster self-reliance and integration by supporting access to fields for crops, building water infrastructure for irrigation and livestock, and constructing food markets to help the community sell their produce. These programmes continue. 

    “Less support will force refugees to make heartbreaking choices — parting with essential belongings, withdrawing children from school, or even a return to home countries despite the dangers,” said Sankoh. “Food assistance is a vital safety net, and we remain committed to doing all we can to support refugees who are trying to rebuild their lives in safety.”

    WFP urgently requires US$44 million to provide full rations and restore cash assistance for all refugees through August.

  • MIL-OSI: $PUFFER Launches on BNB Chain as Puffer Finance Unveils New Roadmap

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands, May 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Puffer Finance, the leading innovator in Ethereum infrastructure, has announced that its native utility token $PUFFER has been added to BNB Chain, while unveiling a comprehensive roadmap update.

    The launch of $PUFFER on BNB Chain significantly expands Puffer Finance’s reach and accessibility within the broader crypto ecosystem, with BNB Chain providing $PUFFER with enhanced liquidity, faster transaction speeds and exposure to millions of active DeFi participants. $PUFFER has also been featured on Binance Alpha, with 362 PUFFER tokens being airdropped to each eligible Binance user who has at least 186 Alpha points. Additionally, a lucky airdrop of 362 PUFFER tokens has been distributed to all users whose Alpha Points are between 147 and 185 (inclusive) and their Binance UIDs end in 5.

    Puffer Finance has also updated its roadmap through H2 2026, including the upcoming launch of an AI-driven Puffer AppChain Marketplace and MCP models for the UniFi AppChain.

    While Ethereum commands 63% of global DeFi Total Value Locked (TVL) and is riding a renewed wave of momentum, it needs scalable infrastructure that doesn’t sacrifice composability. Addressing this barrier to the ecosystem’s growth, Puffer Finance’s revolutionary rollup framework ‘UniFi’ transforms Ethereum’s rollup-centric roadmap into a positive-sum environment for developers, users, and validators alike.

    Initially launched as a Liquid Restaking Token (LRT) protocol, Puffer has rapidly evolved into a full-fledged infrastructure platform, delivering three integrated innovations:

    • Decentralized LRT: Anti-slashing, high-yield staking token aligned with Ethereum’s core principles.
    • UniFi Based Rollup Stack: A simplified, based L2 architecture enabling seamless L1-L2 and L2-L2 atomic composability.
    • Puffer Preconf: The first-ever preconfirmation AVS on EigenLayer, offering sub-second transaction finality.

    Together, these components enable fast, composable, and economically aligned interactions across the Ethereum network, allowing app chains to thrive in a way that’s faster, cheaper, and more secure. As the native utility token for Puffer Finance, $PUFFER plays a crucial role across the company’s suite of solutions. $PUFFER token holders will be able to vote on key decisions that shape the future of the ecosystem, such as protocol upgrades, fee adjustments, and new feature proposals for Puffer Preconf, UniFi Rollup, and Puffer Liquid Restaking Token (LRT). All three products will generate treasury rewards, of which future $PUFFER holders will be responsible for managing, driving long-term sustainability.

    What Makes UniFi ‘Based’?
    Unlike traditional optimistic or zk-rollups, based rollups like UniFi are sequenced directly by Ethereum validators. This architecture offers:

    • Liveness + decentralization inherited from Ethereum L1
    • Simplified infrastructure, no centralized sequencer needed
    • Fast execution through preconfirmations (~100ms)
    • Revenue alignment with Ethereum through sequencing fees and MEV
    • Reduced operational costs, increasing accessibility

    This model creates new economic incentives for Ethereum validators while delivering a significantly better user and developer experience.

    Atomic Composability, Unified Liquidity, Real-Time Finality
    UniFi allows developers to launch app chains as easily as deploying a smart contract, while enjoying atomic composability across Ethereum and other UniFi-based rollups. That means:

    • Cross-chain swaps, yield strategies, and interactions executed in one Ethereum block
    • Elimination of bridges and the risks they introduce
    • Near-instant transaction assurance via UniFi Preconf AVS, powered by EigenLayer restaking

    Revenue-Generating Infrastructure, Tokenized Incentives
    Through sequencing fees, preconfirmation tips, and transaction-based yield flowing into native tokens (pufETH & unifiETH), Puffer creates sustainable value across Ethereum. Governance and incentive alignment are further enhanced by the new vePUFFER model:

    • Decentralized Governance via locked PUFFER voting
    • Tradeable Points & Bribery Market for yield optimization
    • Dynamic, community-driven rewards tailored to ecosystem engagement

    Amir Forouzani, Co-founder of Puffer Labs said: “As Ethereum enters its most promising DeFi cycle yet, Puffer’s UniFi provides the architecture, alignment, and execution needed to meet global scale. Deploying on BNB Chain extends this vision by connecting Ethereum-native innovation with one of the largest and most active blockchain ecosystems. We are just getting started.”

    The announcement comes just weeks after the launch of Puffer’s cutting-edge institutional staking and restaking solution, designed to help institutions unlock higher yields on their Ethereum holdings without compromising on security, compliance or operational control. With Puffer’s institutional solution, organizations can confidently stake and restake their assets with both security and profitability in mind. This solution is ideal for asset managers, custodians, DAOs, family offices and other institutions looking to optimize staking performance while maintaining control over custody, compliance and execution.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: NSU and NSTU students create a universal translator for business and tourists

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Novosibirsk State University – Novosibirsk State University –

    NSU and NSTU students Kirill Voinov and Nikita Bychkov are developing a new application for instant simultaneous translation of spoken speech from Russian into foreign languages and vice versa. The product is intended for both tourists and businesses, and will allow communication with foreigners without a language barrier: the user will hear the translation in headphones, and his words will be voiced in another language through the smartphone speaker.

    The neural network will know Russian, Chinese and English and specialize in translation accuracy and ease of use. To do this, the product will have a complex of neural networks that translate speech and recognize accents, filter noise and synthesize a voice that is 60% similar to the original, and in a conversation of more than two people, the program will voice their words in different voices so that the user understands who is speaking.

    Such technologies are becoming popular against the backdrop of globalization, growth of tourism and international business contacts. Such a solution is becoming necessary in conditions when personal meetings are already half replaced by online negotiations and the dependence on correct translation increases. The development of artificial intelligence and neural networks has made it possible to bring closer the future with one language for the whole world – now it is not science fiction, but a tool that works.

    —This is a step higher than Google Translate voice. Our application will perform full simultaneous translation of speech, with a minimum number of delays and high accuracy. We have already achieved 80% accuracy and continue to improve the program, — emphasized the project manager, a bachelor’s student Faculty of Economics, NSU Kirill Voinov.

    The second developer on the team and project partner, Nikita Bychkov, represents the Faculty of Automation and Computer Engineering at NSTU.

    The developers will launch two versions of the product:

    — for travelers and everyday communication — a translator app for Android;

    — for companies — a complex program with a focus on business translation, taking into account terms and context.

    Kirill notes that the application uses new technologies for Russia – a morpheme tokenizer – a special translator from human to neural network language, which will allow to understand Russian better than Western neural networks. For a month now, the team has been developing the main neural network translator, then will train neural network assistants, and then launch the application by the end of September – beginning of October 2025. A commercial product for business will appear in early 2026. Before the official release, the project will undergo a series of free pilot tests with corporate partners.

    The developers also emphasize that in Russia, only Yandex is developing such technologies. In other countries, such functions are only being implemented and so far work in the subtitle format or are limited to individual devices, as in the future, the Apple application.

    Kirill spoke about the development prospects of the project:

    — We want to determine where our product is needed: either in the app market, then we will focus on expanding the number of languages and adding colloquial expressions and slang, or our translator will be of interest to exporters, then we will expand the dictionary through specialized terminology packages. Most likely, we will start with the oil and gas industry.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Euronext launches an offering of bonds due 2032 convertible into new shares and/or exchangeable for existing shares (“OCEANEs”) for a nominal amount of €425 million

    Amsterdam, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, Milan, Oslo and Paris – 22 May 2025 – Euronext (ISIN Code: NL0006294274) (the “Company”), the leading European capital market infrastructure, announces today the launch of an offering of senior unsecured bonds due 2032 convertible into new shares and/or exchangeable for existing shares of the Company (“OCEANEs”) (the “Bonds”), by way of a placement to qualified investors only (within the meaning of Article 2(e) of the Prospectus Regulation (as defined below)), for a nominal amount of €425 million (the “Offering”).

    On 17 April 2025, the Company entered into a bridge loan facility with, among others, affiliates of the joint bookrunners appointed in the context of the Offering, to finance the acquisition of Admincontrol. The net proceeds from the Offering will be used by the Company for the repayment of a portion of such bridge financing and general corporate purposes.

    Main terms of the Bonds

    The Bonds will be issued with a denomination of €100,000 each (the “Principal Amount”), will be convertible and/or exchangeable into new and/or existing shares of Euronext (the “Shares”) and are expected to pay a fixed coupon at a rate between 1.5% and 2.0% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrear on 30 May and 30 November of each year (or on the following business day if this date is not a business day), and for the first time on 30 November 2025.

    The initial conversion price of the Bonds will be set between 30% and 35% above the Company’s reference share price on the regulated market of Euronext in Paris (“Euronext Paris”)1. The final terms and conditions of the Bonds are expected to be determined following the completion of the bookbuilding process later today, and settlement and delivery of the Bonds is expected to take place on 30 May 2025 (the “Issue Date”).

    Unless previously converted, exchanged, redeemed or purchased and cancelled, the Bonds will be redeemed at par on 30 May 2032 (or on the following business day if such date is not a business day) (the “Maturity Date”).

    The Bonds may be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date at the option of the Company, under certain conditions.

    In particular, the Bonds may be fully redeemed early at par plus any accrued interest at the Company’s option, subject to a prior notice of at least 30 (but not more than 60) calendar days, (i) at any time from 20 June 2030 (inclusive), if the arithmetic average, calculated over a period of 10 consecutive trading days chosen by the Company from among the 20 consecutive trading days preceding the day of the publication of the early redemption notice, of the daily products on each of such 10 consecutive trading days of the volume weighted average price of the Shares on Euronext Paris over the applicable conversion price on each such trading day, exceeds 130%; or (ii) at any time if 80% or more in principal amount of the Bonds issued (which shall, for the avoidance of doubt, include any tap issues of the Bonds) have been converted/exchanged and/or redeemed and/or purchased by the Company and cancelled.

    Bondholders will be granted the right to convert or exchange the Bonds into new and/or existing Shares (the “Conversion/Exchange Right”) which they may exercise at any time from the 41st day (inclusive) following the Issue Date up to the 7th business day (inclusive) preceding the Maturity Date or, as the case may be, the relevant early redemption date.

    The conversion ratio of the Bonds will be set at the Principal Amount divided by the prevailing initial conversion price, subject to standard adjustments, including anti-dilution and dividend protections, as described in the terms and conditions of the Bonds. Upon exercise of their Conversion/Exchange Right, holders of the Bonds will receive at the option of the Company new and/or existing Shares, carrying in all cases all rights attached to existing Shares as from the date of delivery.

    Application will be made for the admission of the Bonds to trading on Euronext AccessTM in Paris to occur within 30 calendar days from the Issue Date.

    Legal framework of the Offering and placement

    The Bonds will be issued by way of a placement to qualified investors only (within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended, the “Prospectus Regulation”)) (excluding the United States of America, Australia, Japan, Canada or South Africa), pursuant to the authorization granted by the Company’s annual general meeting held on 15 May 2025 (15th and 16th resolution), without an offer to the public (other than to qualified investors) in any country.

    Existing shareholders of the Company shall have no preferential subscription rights, and there will be no priority subscription period in connection with the issuance of the Bonds or any underlying new Shares to be issued upon conversion.

    Intentions of existing shareholders

    The Company is not aware of the intention of any of its main shareholders to participate in the Offering.

    Lock-up undertaking

    In the context of the Offering, the Company will agree to a lock-up undertaking with respect to its Shares and securities giving access to share capital of the Company for a period starting from the announcement of the final terms of the Bonds and ending 90 calendar days after the Issue Date, subject to certain customary exceptions or waiver from the joint global coordinators appointed in the context of the Offering.

    Dilution

    For illustrative purposes, considering a nominal amount of €425 million, a reference share price of €145.02 and a 32.5% conversion premium corresponding to the mid-point of the marketing range, the potential dilution would represent approximately 2.1% of the Company’s outstanding share capital, if the Conversion/Exchange Right was exercised for all the Bonds and the Company decided to deliver new Shares only upon exercise of the Conversion/Exchange Right.

    Available information
            
    Neither the offering of the Bonds, nor the admission of the Bonds to trading on Euronext AccessTM is subject to a prospectus approved by the Stichting Autoriteit Financiële Markten (AFM) in Netherlands or the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) in France.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Council’s digital helper Darcie gets next generation upgrade for phone calls

    Source: City of Derby

    Residents who call Derby City Council will now be greeted by an improved, and more inclusive telephone version of its digital helper Darcie.

    Introduced in 2023 to handle customer service queries more efficiently, Darcie has undergone a significant behind-the-scenes transformation and can now do more than just give standard answers.

    Powered by the latest generative AI technology, Darcie can understand more complex questions and hold more natural conversations, offering a smoother and more human-like experience when answering queries.

    Built using advanced machine learning models, Darcie continues to improve over time and continues to learn every time the digital helper is asked a question.

    Darcie can now answer adult social care queries for the first time, as well as giving more enhanced responses on a range of Council services such as bin collections, planning applications, fostering, and registration services.

    The latest telephone upgrade is part of the Council’s ongoing commitment to using technology to improve the lives of the people of Derby and build a smarter, more sustainable city.

    It follows improvements to the online version of Darcie earlier this year, when residents were invited to test the digital helper and share their feedback. Results were overwhelmingly positive, with 73% of respondents reporting satisfaction with their experience.

    Ron, 75, who tested improved Darcie said:

    I had no problem using Darcie. It was very intuitive—whether using the voice function or typing out questions. I got answers to everything I asked, and if Darcie didn’t know something, she explained where I could find further information. I found it very, very useful in that sense.

    I’m not the most experienced person in using IT, so I was a bit apprehensive.  But I decided to give it a go, and I was very pleasantly surprised.

    Available 24/7 via phone and the Council website, Darcie ensures that residents can access information and support at any time, including evenings, weekends, and public holidays and without having to wait in a call queue. Residents can still choose to speak to a human advisor during normal office hours for more complex needs.

    Councillor Hardyal Dhindsa, Cabinet Member for Digital and Organisational Transformation at Derby City Council said:

    Darcie places Derby City Council at the forefront of using generative AI in local government. The Council is one of the first in the country to apply this advanced technology in such a practical way – helping residents get quick, accurate answers to everyday questions.

    The changes are designed to make it even easier for residents to get the help they need quickly and efficiently—especially outside normal office hours.

    Darcie is a smart, evolving tool that plays an important role in helping residents get the right information, in the right way, at the right time.

    Darcie was introduced by the Council in 2023, alongside Ali, who manages housing enquiries for Derby Homes. Between them, the digital helpers have handled over 2 million enquiries since launch, resolving 44% of cases without the need for staff input, allowing frontline teams to focus on customers who need more than a simple response.

    Since the upgrade was launched on 20 May, the Council has seen an 84% reduction in calls to the switchboard during peak times, with 57% of customer queries now being responded to directly by Darcie (the remainder are dealt with by a human advisor).

    Both web and phone versions of Darcie have been upgraded to support nine of the most widely spoken languages in Derby, after English based on Council data – Arabic, Czech, Pashto, Polish, Punjabi, Romanian, Slovak, Somali, and Urdu. Each language has a dedicated phone number.

    In June, the Council’s adult learning service (DALS) will launch an online course introducing residents to artificial intelligence and offering tips on how to make the most of Darcie and similar tools.

  • MIL-OSI Australia: Interview with Michelle Grattan, Politics podcast, The Conversation

    Source: Australian Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Industry

    Michelle Grattan:

    The Reserve Bank has given homebuyers a small bit of good news this week – a modest quarter of a percentage point cut in interest rates. Welcoming the rate cut, Treasurer Jim Chalmers sees the fight against inflation as at last being won, or at least largely so. In this term he wants to turn to finding ways to promote productivity in Australia, where we’ve been losing that battle.

    Meanwhile, most immediately, the Treasurer is fighting critics who are campaigning against his tax hit on those with more than $3 million in their superannuation accounts. The government plans to increase the tax on these accounts but, most controversially, to tax their unrealised capital gains.

    Jim Chalmers joins us today to talk about these issues.

    Jim Chalmers, we saw the Reserve Bank this week lower rates again. But the bank’s Monetary Policy Statement used the word ‘uncertain’ about the aspects of the future multiple times – many, many times. How are you planning for an uncertain economic environment to come?

    Jim Chalmers:

    First of all, Michelle, very good news that interest rates were cut for the second time in 3 months. That does reflect the progress that we’re making together on inflation.

    But it does also recognise this very uncertain global economic environment. The language that the Reserve Bank Governor used yesterday and that the Board used in their statement is not dissimilar to some of the things that I’ve been saying for some time now. The escalating trade tensions, the weakness in the Chinese economy, conflict in the Middle East and Eastern Europe – all of these things are casting a dark shadow over the global economy, and that has implications for us as well.

    But I think overwhelmingly this rate cut was about both kinds of inflation being within the target band. The Reserve Bank said that they were increasingly confident they were getting on top of things, that the upside risks to inflation were subsiding. And so that’s a very good thing. But also it recognises the international environment, as does the government.

    Grattan:

    Much of the uncertainty is coming from the Trump administration’s unpredictable tariff policy. The RBA has modelled 2 scenarios for tariffs, what it calls ‘trade peace’ and ‘trade war’, and Governor Bullock hasn’t ruled out a recession. What’s your reading of this?

    Chalmers:

    I think, first of all, the Reserve Bank is doing diligent work, looking at a range of scenarios from best case to worst case and central case, just like the Treasury does. We think through the various ways that this can play out.

    And I think it’s helpful to remember if you look at the Reserve Bank’s forecasts and the Treasury’s forecasts, neither the bank nor the Treasury is expecting our economy to shrink. In fact, in both instances the forecasts say that the economy will grow more strongly next year compared to the financial year that we’re about to finish.

    And so the bank and the Treasury expect our economy to continue to grow. Of course people think through the various scenarios. The international environment is casting a dark shadow over the global economy and our own economy. And that’s why it’s so important that the Australian economy has got the characteristics that you would want going into this volatility and unpredictability – the lower inflation, the higher wages, the low unemployment, the budget is in better nick than most countries around the world, we’re starting to see interest rates come down, the market’s expecting further interest rate cuts.

    And so we’re well placed and well prepared, but it is good, diligent work by the Reserve Bank, by the Treasury and others to think through what the best and worst‑case scenarios might be. But our central case, our expectation and our forecasts all reflect some degree of confidence that our economy will continue to grow, not shrink as other countries have.

    Grattan:

    Parliament doesn’t meet until July, but obviously you’ll be thinking ahead. What are your priorities when it sits again?

    Chalmers:

    I think the Prime Minister has made it really clear that one of the things we’re really excited about legislating is the cut to student debt. That will take some of the burden off graduates but it will also provide some cost‑of‑living help to students or graduates repaying a student debt. So that’s going to be a big priority.

    In my own portfolio, obviously we’ve got the changes to the super arrangements, we’ve got the standard deduction we announced during the campaign, we’ve got some payments reforms that we need to legislate. So it will be a really busy agenda, but I share the Prime Minister’s view that one of the big priorities when the parliament returns will be cutting student debt for millions of people.

    Grattan:

    On superannuation, you’ve had legislation which you haven’t got through to increase the tax on superannuation balances over $3 million. At the moment that’s 15 per cent, you want to take it to 30 per cent but also, and most controversially, you want to tax unrealised capital gains – that is gains that people haven’t actually cashed out. How is that fair?

    Chalmers:

    This is a modest change that we announced almost 2 and a half years ago now. We announced it at the beginning of 2023. We’re now in the middle of 2025. And what this change is about, it’s about making concessional treatment for people with very large superannuation balances still concessional but a little bit less so. And that will help us fund our priorities, whether it’s Medicare, the tax cuts and other priorities in budget repair. So it’s a modest change.

    In terms of the calculation of unrealised gains, that’s actually not unique in the system. There are other ways in the super system and more broadly that unrealised gains are calculated. Now, we did, I think, 3 rounds of substantial consultation on these changes in the last 2 and a bit years.

    And what we learnt throughout that consultation process is that nobody could propose to us a better way of making this calculation. Some of the alternatives would impose costs on everyone in the fund rather than just people over $3 million. And there are other options as part of that consultation as well.

    And so Treasury advises us that this is the best, simplest way to go about it. I know that people have views about it. I know that there’s a campaign in a couple of our newspapers about it. But this is all about making sure that it’s still concessional treatment, it only impacts about 0.5 per cent of people in the super system with very large superannuation balances. It makes the system a bit fairer, and it’s important in terms of the sustainability of the budget.

    Grattan:

    Just on the practicalities, if you or I have more than $3 million in our superannuation fund, how do you actually calculate this unrealised capital gains, given that the fund could include a farm, it could include a small business?

    Chalmers:

    It’s the value at the start versus the value at the end –

    Grattan:

    Of the financial year?

    Chalmers:

    Yeah, allowing for withdrawals and contributions. And, again, this calculation is made elsewhere in the superannuation system, the way that a number of the funds have to report makes this calculation. So the calculation is not new. And if you make a loss you can carry the loss forward. There’s a whole bunch of appropriate arrangements made in the calculation.

    Grattan:

    It sounds very complicated. You’d need a good accountant.

    Chalmers:

    Typically people with more than $3 million in superannuation have got access to pretty useful advice, that’s the first point. But, secondly, we did consult on this for some years, and this is the way that we propose to go forward.

    Grattan:

    One of the critics, one of the strongest critics, has been Paul Keating. Now, he would consider himself father of the superannuation scheme, right? He says that the non‑indexation of the $3 million just introduces bracket creep.

    Chalmers:

    First of all, I mean I think you know – you and I have spoken on a number of occasions over the years – you know the regard that I have for Paul, and I do talk to him from time to time, including about this issue. And I respect him too much to kind of relay or convey those private conversations –

    Grattan:

    – it would have been a lively discussion, I’d imagine.

    Chalmers:

    I think there’s a range of views, and Paul’s views, I think, are relatively well known on this. When it comes to indexation, I understand the argument. There are so many instances in the tax system where thresholds aren’t indexed, and from time to time governments take decisions to raise those thresholds. I’m anticipating that that’s what would happen here. Some of these calculations about what people’s liability would be in 40 years assume that the $3 million threshold never changes.

    Grattan:

    So why not do it at the start?

    Chalmers:

    I think we’re making it consistent with other areas of the tax system where the threshold is not indexed. I fully anticipate that governments of either, if not both political persuasions at some point in the future will change the threshold. And that’s why a lot of the calculations that you see reported in the media are based on a pretty unrealistic assumption about what the next 30 or 40 years will look like.

    Grattan:

    Now, you’ve got a problem of getting this through the parliament, which, with the new Senate, means getting it through the Greens. What are the chances of that happening, do you think?

    Chalmers:

    I’m not sure yet. We haven’t had that discussion with the crossbench. I think the final makeup of the Senate is not yet clear, and the parliament is not coming back in the next couple of weeks and so we’ve got time to have those discussions. No doubt the new Leader of the Greens, Larissa Waters, no doubt will appoint a Treasury spokesperson and we’ll engage with them in the usual respectful way to –

    Grattan:

    – what’s the main sticking point there, do you anticipate?

    Chalmers:

    Last time they wanted a lower threshold, last time it was in the parliament.

    Grattan:

    And you’re not up for that?

    Chalmers:

    Not something that we’ve been considering. And they’ve talked about indexation as well, the question you asked me about a moment ago. But, again, we’ll see who we engage with. We’ve got a bit of time. They’ll have a view. They know our policy. But those conversations haven’t begun.

    Grattan:

    Let’s turn to productivity. You’ve said that this will be a key focus during this term. But you’ve also noted that you need more than 2 terms to really get major progress here. Why does it take so long?

    Chalmers:

    The point that I’ve made about productivity is that this is a challenge that hasn’t just been hanging around the last couple of years, it’s been hanging around the last couple of decades.

    And if there was a quick fix for productivity, if there was some kind of switch that we could flick, somebody would have flicked it already. So it’s one of those economic objectives where there’s not the same kind of instant policy gratification that you might see in other indicators in our economy.

    I’ve tried to be upfront with people and say productivity was a big focus in the first term. Some of the changes that we made around strengthening and streamlining foreign investment and competition and the payments system, the changes we make in human capital, the announcements we’ve made about abolishing non‑compete clauses and a national regime for occupational licensing – those are all substantial reforms and they’re all about productivity.

    But what we’ve said is in the first term we focused primarily on inflation without forgetting productivity. In the second term we will focus much more heavily on productivity but being upfront with people that you don’t expect quarter‑to‑quarter, instant changes in the level of productivity in our economy from some of these medium‑term policies that we’re putting in place.

    So I’m working closely with the Productivity Commission on the next steps in our productivity agenda. We think productivity and the future of our economy will come from the energy transformation, from human capital and giving people the skills to adapt and adopt technology, the artificial intelligence revolution. It will come from making sure we get value for money in the care economy. And it will come from making our economy more competitive and dynamic.

    So on each of those fronts we’ve already done a heap of work. We’re looking for more reforms in those areas, working with the Productivity Commission to do that, but being upfront with people about how quickly we can turn around this problem that has been really one of the defining features of our economy now for decades.

    Grattan:

    There was, of course, in 2023 a Productivity Commission report which ran to some 9 volumes, I think, and had 70‑odd recommendations. And yet a lot of that hasn’t been done.

    Chalmers:

    There were 29 different reform directions in that report and we think that we are progressing in some form more than two‑thirds of them. And I know that’s not general accepted wisdom about that report, but more than two‑thirds of the 29 directives we are progressing in one form or another.

    The other thing is, of the 71 specific recommendations, we think about half of those – around 36 of those – involve state and territory governments either partly or fully. And so a bit of perspective on all of that.

    Specifically, we picked up and ran with some of their ideas on vocational education and training, cybersecurity, government data, skilled migration. So more of that report is being acted on than I think is broadly accepted. But if the point, the kernel of the question is, should we try to do more on productivity, I’ve already flagged that that will be a big priority.

    Grattan:

    The Productivity Commission has called for ideas from the public to improve productivity. And it’s now identified what it calls 15 priority reforms for further exploration. And one is to support business investment through corporate tax reform. Are you willing to even contemplate this? You’ve been quite shy about tax reform that’s robust.

    Chalmers:

    First of all, again, we actually progressed a whole bunch of tax reform in the first term – income tax reform, production tax credits, tax breaks for small business, tax breaks for build‑to‑rent –

    Grattan:

    Maybe it was the easy stuff.

    Chalmers:

    We changed the PRRT arrangements. That didn’t feel easy at the time.

    Grattan:

    Modestly.

    Chalmers:

    Multi‑national tax reform is no small thing. And so, again, a bit of perspective. We did half a dozen meaningful tax changes in the first term.

    When it comes to the consultation that the PC is doing, and I think it’s terrific that they’re doing that consultation, and that consultation reflects some of the asks that are put to us from time to time from the business community in particular, and I welcome that, too. Let’s have a proper, national conversation about that.

    When it comes to company taxes, I’m the only person in this, or Katy Gallagher and I are the only people in this that have to make it all add up. And so sometimes our constraints are fiscal.

    We’ve got to work out what we can afford to do in a world where we’ve got to fund these priorities – strengthening Medicare, investing in the care economy, some of the big pressures on our budget, defence. We’ve got to fund all of that. And so some of these proposals on tax reform which are costly to the budget need to be seen in that light as well.

    Grattan:

    Yes, but that doesn’t really go to the fundamental question, and that is whether you think it would be a good idea to have this on the agenda.

    Chalmers:

    I don’t have an ideological view about company taxes. I have an economic view. One of the things that’s good that Danielle Wood and the PC are consulting on is we’ve got this challenge in productivity and the thing that the economists call capital deepening – whether or not we have a deep and robust enough capital base.

    And so they’re consulting on whether tax has a role to play in that. I don’t have an ideological view about that. I’ve got a fiscal view about that, and I’ve got a view about where the productivity is going to come from in a modern economy like ours. I think it’s important that we don’t over focus on some of the areas that have been perennial parts to this conversation – scorched earth industrial relations, the headline company tax rate.

    These are parts of the productivity discussion, but they’re not the whole thing. Energy, human capital, competition and dynamism, care economy, AI and technology. I’m trying to have a broader conversation about how we get more productivity in our economy because in some of those areas, that have not been central enough to the national conversation about productivity, I think that’s where we might find that we can make the most progress.

    Grattan:

    But isn’t company tax important when we’re trying to compete internationally for investment?

    Chalmers:

    Again, it does get raised with me from time to time by investors, but it’s not the whole story, and often it’s not the main story. When international investors are weighing up whether to invest in Australia, they care about the stability of our laws, they care about our skills base, our human capital. They care about access to cleaner and cheaper energy. They care about how long it takes to get approvals.

    There are real areas here where there’s a productivity dividend if we get it right, where we become more attractive as an investment destination if we get it right. And that conversation, which I have relatively frequently with global investors and domestic investors, is not a conversation wholly and solely about company tax.

    Grattan:

    Just finally, Jim Chalmers, you like to indulge in some blue sky thinking from time to time, a bit of essay writing. You might have a little time over the winter break. What’s on your horizon in that regard?

    Chalmers:

    I’ve already had a discussion today with Katy Gallagher setting out what the rest of the year looks like and how that relates to some of these priorities that you’ve been kind enough to talk with me today about. I’m trying to do a bit more reading this term than what I did last term.

    Grattan:

    What are you reading?

    Chalmers:

    I just finished that Ezra Klein book called Abundance, which goes right to the core of some of these things you’re talking about. How do we think in a progressive way about making our economy more efficient and more productive. That Ezra Klein book called Abundance is a ripper. I am grateful to Andrew Leigh for suggesting it to me, and I’ve gotten through it now. So that kind of reading. I confess I’ve started the book about Joe Biden, the Jake Tapper book, as well.

    Grattan:

    About his health?

    Chalmers:

    About his health, yeah. And, like everyone, I send my best wishes to the Bidens after that news that we got earlier in the week about his health. So try to do a bit more reading.

    But I’m really excited about a new term, a new opportunity working closely with Katy to make sure we finish the fight on inflation, we make our economy more productive, we think more expansively about the big opportunities from AI and energy and some of these things that we’ve been talking about today. And I have been finding inspiration in trying to do a bit more reading this term so far than what I managed last term.

    Grattan:

    Jim Chalmers, thank you very much for joining The Conversation’s Politics podcast.

  • MIL-OSI: Temenos survey reveals banks doubling down on technology modernization to drive customer experience

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    MADRID, Spain, May 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — At the Temenos Community Forum ’25 in Madrid, Temenos, a global leader in banking technology, shared insights from a global study by Hanover Research of 424 business and technology leaders in financial services that underscores a bold shift in banking priorities.

    The research shows financial institutions are accelerating investments in technology, and placing customer experience, innovation, and operational efficiency at the top of their strategic agendas. Investing in technology to improve customer experience emerged as the top strategic priority for 46% of banks worldwide, followed closely by the launch of new products and services (35%), and the pursuit of greater operational efficiency (34%).

    In the face of rapid geopolitical changes, banks need to modernize to be able to predict, understand and adapt rapidly to market changes; capabilities their legacy systems are not equipped to deliver. To meet these demands, (77%) of financial institutions are investing in data analytics and AI-driven insights and 68% in cloud-based core banking systems, all while maintaining a strong focus on protecting both themselves and their customers as a priority.

    Amid the turbulence of inflation, tariffs and trade tensions, most banks anticipate they will increase investment in technology to better protect customers (84%) and technology to enhance operational efficiency (81%). In addition, three quarters of banks plan to increase their investments to improve systems integration (75%) and data analytics (73%).

    Most professionals (81%) agree that if banks do not implement artificial intelligence they will fall behind competitors. While only 11% of banks have fully implemented generative AI today, 43% are in the process, indicating more than half are moving forward with real deployment. Notably, 60% of banking professionals view AI as a tool to augment, not replace the human workforce.

    In her plenary keynote at TCF, Isabelle Guis, Chief Marketing Officer, Temenos, said: “The message is clear: while banks continue to invest in modernization, they’re doing so with a close eye on evolving market dynamics. Financial institutions understand that staying competitive means being ready to adapt and there’s a growing recognition that failing to embrace AI soon could leave them behind.”

    The study results pertaining to AI and Gen AI were discussed on a recent webinar with Jerry Silva, Program Vice President, IDC, Maya Mikhailov, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Savvi AI and Isabelle Guis, Chief Marketing Officer at Temenos (link).

    MADRID, Spain, May 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — – Temenos (SIX: TEMN), a global leader in banking technology, today announced the results of a highwater benchmark for its cloud-native core banking solutions running on Microsoft Azure. The results will be presented at the Temenos Community Forum 2025.

    The record-setting benchmark showcased the speed and efficiency of Temenos’ latest technology in handling high volumes of digital transactions and AI services, delivering maximum scalability with a minimal cloud footprint.

    The benchmark simulated a bank with 25 million customers and 50 million accounts processing 16,600 transactions per second while taking additional AI workloads. It tested the full end-to-end capabilities of Temenos’ banking solutions, including core and digital banking, payments, data hub and AI services on Microsoft Azure.

    Thanks to advances in Temenos’ leaner, more sustainable architecture and Microsoft Azure Cobalt 100 ARM processors, the test showed over 40% improvement in efficiency compared to the 2024 benchmark exercise.

    These results highlight the power of Temenos’ banking solutions to process large volumes of transactions and data quickly and securely, using less hardware. This helps banks of all sizes scale on demand, and maintain peak performance and availability, while meeting the growing demand for AI and Gen AI-powered services. The benchmark also tested banking APIs through Microsoft Open AI Service interfaces to ensure it meets banking customers’ AI and Gen AI demand in the future.

    According to a recent Hanover Research survey for Temenos, 75% of banks are exploring Generative AI deployment, while 82% are investing in technology to improve operating efficiency. Among banks already deploying Gen AI or exploring opportunities, 43% plan to increase their investment in the technology this year compared to last year.

    Bola Rotibi, Chief of Enterprise Research, CCS Insight, said: “As banks adopt new technologies such as Generative AI, the need for flexible and scalable core systems becomes critical. Benchmarking exercises like this on Microsoft Azure demonstrate the potential for Temenos’ solutions to support high transaction volumes while managing infrastructure efficiency. For banks, such capabilities can contribute to operational agility and sustainability goals. As with all benchmarks, real-world outcomes will depend on deployment specifics and broader integration contexts.”

    Barb Morgan, Chief Product and Technology Officer, Temenos, commented: “As banks evolve to meet customer needs and embrace AI, they need modular banking solutions that are fast, efficient and future-ready. We consistently invest in cloud and SaaS technology and this benchmark shows that Temenos delivers banking capabilities with the speed and scalability needed for the next generation of banking.”

    Christian Sarafidis. General Manager, EMEA Financial Services, Microsoft, added: “We are thrilled to see the strategic collaboration between Microsoft and Temenos once again raise the bar for core banking in the cloud. Together we can help banks run smarter, scale efficiently, and unlock the full potential of AI to transform customer experiences and drive meaningful innovation.”
