    Operating in the Future Electromagnetic Environment symposium 2025

    Representatives from industry, academia and government are invited to join the OFEME symposium to work alongside Dstl’s scientists and shape future thinking.

    The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) hosts its sixth Operating in the Future Electromagnetic Environment (OFEME) symposium from 18 to 20 November 2025 in Newport, Wales.

    The event, supported by the Electromagnetic Environment (EME) Hub, is designed as an in-person event, but there will be options to join virtually if you are unable to join us in Wales.

    Importance of the electromagnetic environment

    The EME is crucial for many sectors including healthcare and mobility (moving people, goods and services), and for a connected society. In defence, spectrum dependent systems are present across land, maritime, air and space. Their uses include communications, sensing, weapons systems and more.

    As demand grows, reliable access to the electromagnetic spectrum becomes more difficult, creating a challenge for UK information advantage and maintaining situational awareness.

    From a defence perspective, adversaries will actively contest access, such as through electromagnetic warfare, to deliberately deny or degrade access. Maintaining freedom of action and delivering effects in and through the congested and contested electromagnetic environment is therefore an essential and growing challenge.

    Symposium details

    The symposium this year will continue to expand its scope included in the previous events.

    The event will cover:

    • shared challenges for operating within the future electromagnetic environment, emerging sensing and PNT technologies, both inside and outside of defence
    • how research and development investment can be harnessed in future approaches

    The event will feature:

    • a range of keynote speakers
    • technical presentations
    • panel discussions
    • poster sessions
    • interactive workshops
    • networking sessions

    These activities will cover advances and implications of a variety of technical topics including:

    • space
    • metamaterials
    • semiconductors
    • electro-optics (to include photonics)
    • quantum advantage (position, navigation and timing (PNT))
    • filamentation
    • filters
    • artificial intelligence
    • semantic communications

    Who can attend

    Academics, industry partners (including small and medium-sized enterprises and non-traditional defence suppliers), PhD students and colleagues from the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and across government are all invited to attend the symposium.

    The event will provide space to network and discuss collaboration opportunities with Dstl scientists to shape future thinking on how to address sensing challenges.

    Pre-register for this event

    You must pre-register your interest online if you would like to attend this symposium, by Friday 3 October 2025.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Denis Manturov held a meeting on the development of food engineering.

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

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

    First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov held a meeting on the development of mechanical engineering for food and processing industries. The event was attended by representatives of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Agriculture, as well as leading associations, industry enterprises and food producers.

    The participants of the meeting discussed the current situation and development prospects of the industry, the technological independence of which plays an important role in ensuring food security in Russia. Food engineering includes 12 key sub-sectors – from equipment for the flour and cereal industry to packaging and filling machines. Today, the industry is ready to almost completely cover the market demand for equipment for the grain industry, catering, and packaging machines. The average level of equipment localization here is more than 50%. It is planned to gradually expand the presence of domestic manufacturers in other equipment segments.

    More than 270 enterprises are involved in the production of equipment for the food and processing industry. According to the results of last year, the market volume demonstrated significant growth and exceeded 377 billion rubles, which is a third more than the 2023 figure. At the same time, the production volume in all segments increased by almost 55% compared to 2023 and amounted to 216 billion rubles. The leader in growth was the livestock equipment sector, where production volumes increased more than 2 times. In 2025, the industry continues to show positive dynamics in production volumes, despite the high base of last year.

    To support domestic manufacturers and stimulate the purchase of high-performance Russian equipment, the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade is implementing a program of subsidizing discounts on special equipment and machinery, thanks to which almost 81 thousand units of equipment have been sold in 4 years (from 2021 to 2024). Over the next three years, 38 billion rubles have been allocated for this program, of which 12 billion rubles are for this year. In parallel, R&D support is provided, allowing for the development of serial production of new types of equipment and components that previously had no Russian analogues. This tool is also relevant for food industry enterprises that intend to produce the necessary equipment in Russia at their own facilities. For example, farmer and cheese maker Oleg Sirota received support for the implementation of a project to develop and launch a domestic cheese production line into series production. In addition, food engineering enterprises have access to preferential loans from the Industrial Development Fund. Since last year alone, a decision was made to support 5 projects, the amount of preferential loans for them exceeded 1.2 billion rubles.

    At the same time, conceptually new approaches to industry work have been formed at the moment, aimed at building an effective chain of interaction between consumers and producers. The processes of development and launching new types of equipment into serial production are built around the needs of potential buyers, who, in turn, determine the need for such equipment in advance. This allows machine builders to correctly distribute production resources, calculate the terms and cost of project implementation, as well as its prospective payback. Government support measures are also focused specifically on projects that are implemented in accordance with the technical specifications of food industry enterprises. During the meeting, the first results of projects organized within the framework of such interaction were presented.

    The meeting also considered the issue of import substitution and reengineering of equipment and components that are critical for the stable operation of the agro-industrial complex. Work in this area is being carried out by the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade together with the Russian Ministry of Agriculture and the Agency for Technological Development (ATD). In 2022–2025, the ADT supported 59 projects in the interests of mechanical engineering for the food and processing industries for a total of over 760 million rubles.

    Special attention at the meeting was paid to the issue of re-equipping food service facilities in educational institutions of the DPR, LPR, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions with domestic equipment, work on which has been underway since 2023. Over the past period, local institutions have been supplied with over 18 thousand units of equipment, which made it possible to provide hot meals for children in almost 1.7 thousand schools and kindergartens.

  • MIL-OSI: Abaxx Announces Digital Title Pilot to Unlock the Collateral Value of Physical Commodities Through its Integrated Market Infrastructure

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TORONTO, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Abaxx Technologies Inc. (CBOE:ABXX)(OTCQX:ABXXF) (“Abaxx” or the “Company”), a financial software and market infrastructure company, majority shareholder of Abaxx Singapore Pte Ltd., the owner of Abaxx Commodity Exchange and Clearinghouse (individually, “Abaxx Exchange” and “Abaxx Clearing”), and producer of the SmarterMarkets™ Podcast, today announced it intends to conduct a pilot transaction to finance margin with physical gold using its ID++ Technology to create real-time digital documents of title.

    This pilot will demonstrate the use of Abaxx’s Private Digital Title, a cryptographically-secured document of title for physical gold held at Abaxx Spot, to finance cash margin requirements for a gold futures position. By unlocking the collateral value of real-world assets, the initiative advances Abaxx’s broader effort to modernize collateralization and increase capital efficiency across commodity markets, including the unique ability to move real-time collateral privately through a federated network.

    Abaxx’s Private Digital Title Pilot Highlights

    • Demonstrates the integration of Abaxx Exchange and Clearing, Abaxx Spot, and ID++ Technology, activating the full stack of Abaxx infrastructure to address inefficiencies in commodity markets and supply-chain risk management.
    • Lays the groundwork for expanding the pool of high quality liquid asset (“HQLA”) collateral to include physically-held commodities and for netting physical and financial positions, reducing capital costs and inefficiencies in risk management.
    • Operates across the full commodity transaction lifecycle with integrated counterparty verification that keeps transaction data private from unrelated intermediaries and public ledger records, removing a key barrier to token adoption in global commodity markets.
    • Leverages Verifiable Credentials to issue legally-enforceable digital documents of title, preserving confidentiality, improving collateral mobility, and aligning with global legal standards like the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law’s (UNCITRAL) Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records (MLETR).

    “For decades, innovations in payment systems have accelerated the velocity of money while the immense value of physical assets has remained locked in slow, analog workflows,” said Josh Crumb, CEO of Abaxx Technologies. “What stablecoins and modern payment rails are to bank money, Abaxx is to physical collateral. We are building the tools to free your physical assets. This pilot will be the first end-to-end demonstration of our smarter markets architecture, where regulated market infrastructure and decentralized financial technology work together to turn physical commodities into dynamic, real-time financial instruments at the heart of financial clearing systems.”

    A New Framework for Digital Collateral

    Abaxx’s vision is to re-engineer the relationship between physical assets and financial risk management. To support this transformation, the Company has developed multi-layered market infrastructure designed to connect physical assets to financial workflows, anchored by a regulated futures exchange and clearinghouse, a spot market for physically-allocated gold, and Abaxx’s proprietary ID++ Technology and suite of console apps, including Verifier+, Abaxx Messenger, and Abaxx Sign.

    This infrastructure addresses two persistent challenges for commodity producers, traders, and financiers: limited collateral mobility and the high cost of managing basis and counterparty risk. It seeks to expand the pool of high-quality collateral to include real-world assets and creates the potential to reduce capital and operational costs by enabling the netting of physical and financial positions.

    Legal ownership of physical assets is digitized using Verifiable Credentials as documents of title, unlike tokenization models that rely on centralized issuance or new legal constructs. Abaxx’s approach is designed to reduce legal and operational friction, shorten onboarding timelines, and enable more flexible, direct use of physical commodities as collateral without compromising confidentiality or enforceability.

    The intended result is a system where physical assets support a flexible credit facility, transforming inventory from untapped collateral into a real-time financial resource.

    About the Pilot

    This pilot represents the first application of Abaxx’s Private Digital Title across the Company’s integrated exchange, clearing, and spot market infrastructure. It is intended to demonstrate how a cryptographically-secured Private Digital Title can act as a document of title for physical gold and finance the margin requirements of a gold futures position, replacing traditional warehouse receipts with a legally-enforceable digital document of title.

    As part of this framework, Abaxx’s Private Digital Title can embed legal terms and asset history, including attributes such as its provenance or environmental footprint, directly to the asset’s digital identity, supporting evolving market expectations around traceability.

    By increasing the pool of eligible collateral, increasing collateral mobility, and enhancing transparency, the initiative targets a $47 billion opportunity in gold trade finance¹ and lays the foundation for broader applications across commodity markets.

    Join the Working Group

    This pilot transaction is planned to take place in 4Q2025. Interested parties, including clearing firms, brokers, traders, custodians, banks, and technologists who would like to participate in our working group are invited to contact us at digitaltitle@abaxx.tech for more information.

    When meat is frozen and then thawed, the muscle mitochondria (a type of intramuscular organelle) are damaged during the process and the enzyme HADH is released into the intracellular fluid. The relative increase in the amount of HADH found in the intracellular fluid before and after analytical method freezing procedure may be indicative as to whether the meat has previously undergone freezing. The measurement of HADH activity in the intracellular fluid, taken by pressing the meat and analysing the fluid using a spectrophotometer, is a simple, rapid and reliable procedure for a laboratory to undertake when evaluating the reported cryological history of raw chicken or turkey samples.

    This e-seminar provides information and guidance relevant to understanding how to apply an HADH-based spectrophotometric method to differentiate between chilled and previously frozen poultry samples.

    This e-seminar was produced by the Joint Knowledge Transfer Framework for Food Standards and Food Safety Analysis, funded by the Food Standards Agency, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Food Standards Scotland and the Department for Science Innovation and Technology via the Government Chemist.

    On June 25, 2025, a delegation from the State University of Management took part in a scientific and methodological seminar of the Commission of the General Council of the United Russia party on education and science with the participation of experts from the Russian Historical Society, the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, the Talent and Success Educational Foundation and the Kurchatov Institute National Research Center.

    The seminar took place at the Sirius Educational Center as part of the Pedagogy of Times of Trials project. The project aims to conduct research and create educational programs to study, comprehend, and pass on to young people the pedagogical experience gained by Soviet and Russian educators during military, socio-political, and humanitarian crises.

    The seminar was attended by the Vice-Rector of the State University of Management Maria Karelina, the leading researcher of the Research Institute of Public Policy and Management of Industrial Economy Irina Goncharova and the Director of the Center for Assessment and Development of Management Competencies Anton Velichko.

    During the seminars, university representatives and industry experts share their own experiences and practices of conducting scientific and historical work with students and young scientists through the prism of historical memory.

    Leading researcher at the Research Institute of Public Policy and Management of Industrial Economy Irina Goncharova presented a report entitled “Pedagogy of Memory: a Multi-Level System of Management Education at the State University of Management at the scientific and methodological seminar.” Today, the university is implementing specific projects in key areas of activity – education, science, practice – which involve students at all stages of training: from Pre-University students to postgraduates. The complex of these activities forms a systematic approach to the work on preserving and transmitting historical memory to younger generations and, moreover, becomes a tool for training leaders. The State University of Management sets itself the goal of not only educating and preserving patriotism, but also scaling up existing practices by creating an industry of historical technologies.

    The delegation of the State University of Management was given a tour of the campus of the Sirius Educational Center, the Sirius University of Science and Technology, and the Laboratory Complex. Deputy Director for Educational Activities of the Sirius University Oleg Fedorov spoke about the scientific centers operating within the university structure, where research is conducted in the fields of genetics, information technology, ecology, medicine, and cognitive research. The meeting participants discussed promising areas of joint work on the research track.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Council rolls out smart messaging to tackle debt fairly

    Source: City of Derby

    A new messaging service aimed at collecting debt more efficiently and ethically has been launched by Derby City Council.

    A key feature of the messaging service is its integration with an advanced AI-powered dashboard, which gathers and analyses information from across Council systems.

    The dashboard gives staff a detailed view of outstanding debt, allowing the Council to examine individual cases and identify where it needs to offer support to minimise debt, and maximise income collection.

    From 26 June, businesses in the city who don’t pay their business rates by Direct Debit can expect timely emails to remind them of upcoming payments and when instalments are overdue.

    This proactive approach aims to help businesses avoid arrears and potential costly recovery actions.

    Similar messaging services for Council Tax payers and sundry debtors are also set to launch shortly and are the latest applications in the Council’s pioneering AI programme.

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

    At a time when every penny counts, it’s more important than ever that the Council manages its limited finances responsibly.

    This new service, supported by advanced technology, gives us a much more detailed view of individual cases. It means we can take a more tailored and compassionate approach to debt collection — ensuring support is targeted where it’s needed most, while still being fair and effective.

    It’s a great example of how smart use of technology can benefit the Council, city businesses and our residents.

    The Council has a legal duty and responsibility to Derby’s citizens to ensure that outstanding debt is paid promptly and in line with relevant legislation, best practice, and ethical collection methods.

    In February 2024, Cabinet approved a revised debt management policy. This provides a framework for the Council to manage its debt while ensuring that customers receive appropriate assistance, guidance and support, and that mutually agreed repayment arrangements are affordable and sustainable.

    Details on all payment methods, how to set up Direct Debits and paperless billing, can be found on the Council’s website.

  • Sensex surges 1,000 points; banking and heavyweight stocks gain

    Source: Government of India (4)

    The Indian stock markets closed on a strong note on Thursday, with benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty surging over 1 per cent each, led by gains in banking and heavyweight stocks.

    The benchmark index reflected strong investor confidence, underpinned by the apparent stability of the Middle East ceasefire, which has eased concerns over potential supply chain disruptions.

    The Sensex jumped 1,000.36 points, or 1.21 per cent, to settle at 83,755.87. During the session, the index touched an intra-day high of 83,812.09 and a low of 82,816.26.

    The Nifty also gained 304.25 points, or 1.21 per cent, to close at 25,549.00. It hit an intra-day high of 25,565.30 and a low of 25,259.90 during the day.

    “Nifty has given a decisive move above the recent consolidation on the daily chart, indicating growing optimism among traders and investors,” Rupak De of LKP Securities said.

    “Now that the index has broken above the consolidation zone, we continue to maintain our bullish view going forward,” he added.

    Among the Nifty stocks, Shriram Finance, Tata Steel, Bharti Airtel and Hindalco Industries were the top gainers, rising between 2.48 and 3.69 per cent.

    On the other hand, Dr Reddy’s Laboratories, Tech Mahindra, Wipro, SBI, and Hero MotoCorp were the top laggards, slipping between 0.45 and 1.31 per cent.

    In the broader markets, the Nifty Midcap100 and Nifty Smallcap100 indices ended lower, falling 0.59 per cent and 0.42 per cent, respectively, indicating some pressure in mid- and small-cap stocks.

    Banking stocks also witnessed strong buying. The Bank Nifty index touched an intra-day high of 57,263.45 and closed at 57,206.70, up 1.03 per cent.

    Among sectoral indices, all major indices except Realty, IT, and Media ended in the green.

    Nifty Metal was the top performer, gaining 2.31 per cent. This was followed by gains in Nifty Private Bank, Financial Services, and Oil & Gas indices, each rising over 1 per cent.

    Meanwhile, Rupee gained over 33 paise to settle at 85.75, buoyed by a sharp drop in the dollar index below the 97.00 mark.

    “Falling crude prices and a weaker dollar provided strong support to the rupee. With global risk sentiment improving and the potential for continued fund inflows, the rupee may head towards 85.25 in the coming days,” Jateen Trivedi of LKP Securities mentioned.

    “Gold remained range-bound as dollar index weakness provided support, while the Federal Reserve’s stance of no immediate rate cuts weighed on sentiment,” Trivedi stated.

    He added that MCX Gold is expected to trade within a range of Rs 95,500 to Rs 98,500 in the near term.

         The Financial Secretary, Mr Paul Chan, attended the 10th Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) in Beijing today (June 26). He also held separate meetings with the Minister of Finance, Mr Lan Fo’an, and the President of the AIIB, Mr Jin Liqun.
     
         Mr Chan participated in the opening ceremony of the annual meeting and joined the subsequent Governors’ Official Session.
     
         During the meeting, he witnessed the signing of a strategic partnership agreement between the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and the AIIB.  Under the partnership agreement, the HKMA will collaborate closely with the AIIB to support venture capital in emerging Asia to jointly support the emerging economies in the region to drive green transformation and development of infrastructure through scientific and commercial innovation.
     
         Speaking about the agreement, Mr Chan said, “Energy transition and infrastructure development of the Global South require substantial financial investment and support from technological applications in various fields. This collaboration combines and leverages the knowledge, experience, networks, and strengths of the HKMA and the AIIB. It supports emerging Asian economies in accelerating their development towards more prosperous and inclusive growth through innovation and technology. Additionally, it aids in building a more vibrant venture capital and innovation ecosystem within the region and further reinforces Hong Kong’s status as an international financial, innovation and technology centre.”
     
         Mr Chan later met with the President of the AIIB, Mr Jin Liqun. He expressed Hong Kong’s willingness to further enhance collaboration with the AIIB amid the ongoing reshaping of the global economic landscape and the development challenges faced by emerging economies. Such initiatives can include issuing bonds in more currencies and of various tenors, advancing investment co-operation in infrastructure loan securitisation and catastrophe bonds, and mobilising private capital to support Asia’s green and sustainable development projects and relevant technological proposals. He also reiterated Hong Kong’s support for the AIIB to establish an office in Hong Kong and said he looks forward to the proposal’s early implementation.
     
         Subsequently, Mr Chan called on the Minister of Finance, Mr Lan Fo’an, where both parties exchanged in-depth views on the economic and social development of the Mainland and Hong Kong. Mr Chan briefed Mr Lan on Hong Kong’s latest developments in financial markets, innovation and technology, and public finance. He highlighted that, with Hong Kong’s financial market advancing steadily and international investors’ confidence strengthening, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government will continue to fully support the issuance of RMB Sovereign Bonds in Hong Kong. Efforts will also be made to enrich investment products and risk management tools, enhance RMB liquidity, and improve financial infrastructure to build a more prosperous offshore RMB business ecosystem.

  • MIL-OSI: Beam Global and Platinum Group UAE Sign Joint Venture Agreement Creating Beam Middle East LLC

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SAN DIEGO, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Beam Global, (Nasdaq: BEEM), a leading provider of innovative and sustainable infrastructure solutions for the electrification of transportation and energy security, today announced that it has entered into a joint venture agreement with the Platinum Group LLC, based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Chaired by His Royal Highness, Sheikh Mohammed Sultan Bin Khalifa Al-Nahyan, the Platinum Group UAE is recognized for its well-established and trusted relationships across government and industry.

    Beam Global and the Platinum Group will form a new entity, Beam Middle East LLC, which will sell and manufacture Beam Global’s patented sustainable infrastructure solutions for transportation electrification, energy storage, energy security, and smart city development across the Middle East and African regions. This joint venture supports Beam Global’s strategy of geographic diversification by opening new markets and creating opportunities for revenue growth outside the United States. Beam Global, Beam Europe, and now Beam Middle East will each sell and manufacture the company’s full portfolio of patented sustainable technology solutions.

    “The Platinum Group is an organization of the highest reputation, influence and relationships in Abu Dhabi and the surrounding region. They are a perfect partner to accelerate Beam Global’s growth in the Middle East and Africa,” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global. “With planned spending on sustainable infrastructure in the region projected to reach $75.6 billion by 2030, we believe that Beam Global’s patented technology combined with Platinum’s unrivalled position should create a platform for growth which we are uniquely able to leverage. Platinum’s relationships with the best companies in the region and their government contacts, including at the highest level in the UAE and with entities like Masdar City, will allow Beam Middle East to secure direct audiences with top decision makers. Our technology is ideal for the region’s current and future plans, but this is a region where relationships matter just as much as products and solutions. That is why our joint venture with Platinum is so ideal – Beam’s tried and tested clean-technology solutions and Platinum’s influence and relationships form a combination that ticks all the boxes and is without rivals.”

    “The Platinum Group seeks out the highest quality, most timely and relevant companies in each of the industries we target. Beam Global’s unique and patented products are ideally suited to provide value to governments and businesses, as the Gulf region and beyond transitions to clean and sustainable technologies,” said Dr Ali Nasser Sultan Al Yahbouni Al Daheri, CEO of Platinum Group. “We are looking forward to ensuring that our new joint venture with Beam Global, forming Beam Middle East, is a highly successful enterprise with wins in the Middle East and increasingly in Africa. With abundant sunshine and fast-growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), renewables, and energy storage, the region is perfect for Beam Global’s solutions. Energy security and Smart Cities solutions like those offered by Beam Middle East are at the forefront of government planning. Our timing is right, and our partnership is formed on mutual benefit from growth and success. We are delighted to have Beam Global as part of our growing family of businesses.”

    Middle East Market Overview Across Five Key Markets: UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, and Jordan

    • The number of EVs in the region is projected to grow from approximately 69.0 thousand in 2024 to approximately 1.5 million by 2030 (Table 1), representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 66.6%.
    • Assuming a 5.0% share of regional chargers using EV ARC™ units, the addressable revenue could reach $516.5 million by 2030.
    • If eBikes account for just 5.0% of total EV volume and follow the same growth trajectory (Table 2), BeamBike™ units could represent a $245.0 million revenue opportunity in the region by 2030.

    Middle East Market Overview: Abu Dhabi Case Study

    • The UAE eBike market is projected to reach $443.8 million by 2030. Assuming 15.0% of that spend goes toward charging infrastructure, and that Abu Dhabi accounts for 35.0% of the national market based on population, the addressable eBike charger market for BeamBike™ in Abu Dhabi is approximately $23.3 million.
    • A streetlight-to-population ratio based on New York City, applied to Abu Dhabi’s estimated 3.8 million residents (Table 3), suggests BeamSpot™ units could represent a potential revenue opportunity of approximately $322.1 million assuming a market penetration of 5.0%.
    • Using Abu Dhabi’s population and a comparable U.S. Police motorcycle fleet ratio (Table 4), the opportunity to electrify local law enforcement fleets with BeamPatrol™ units is estimated at approximately $2.4 million.
    • With over 5.8 million annual hotel guests, Abu Dhabi also offers a strong use case for BeamSkoot™ at resorts, both for logistics and recreational purposes. Assuming adoption rates of 10.0% (Table 5), the potential revenue opportunity for BeamSkoot™ units could reach approximately $10.0 million.

    The above scenarios are estimates only, based upon market data taken from internet resources. Beam Global believes these case studies can be replicated in other markets across the Middle East and Africa.

    Key Terms of the Agreement
    Beam Middle East LLC will be a 50/50 joint venture between Beam Global and Platinum Group UAE, incorporated in Abu Dhabi. Beam Global will license its proprietary technologies to the joint venture and support it with incoming opportunities, training, marketing materials, and procurement assistance. Platinum Group will leverage its existing relationships at the highest levels, coordinate local sales, provide experienced and influential business development professionals, and establish manufacturing capabilities efficiently and inexpensively. Both parties will collaborate on the development of a regional manufacturing facility for the products. Beam Middle East will be headquartered in Masdar City, a pioneering sustainable urban community and world-class business and technology hub, where Platinum Group has recently signed an agreement. Masdar City is located in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, strategically positioned at the center of the country’s drive toward a net-zero future by 2050.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SAN DIEGO, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Beam Global, (Nasdaq: BEEM), a leading provider of innovative and sustainable infrastructure solutions for the electrification of transportation and energy security, today announced that it has entered into a joint venture agreement with the Platinum Group LLC, based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Chaired by His Royal Highness, Sheikh Mohammed Sultan Bin Khalifa Al-Nahyan, the Platinum Group UAE is recognized for its well-established and trusted relationships across government and industry.

    Beam Global and the Platinum Group will form a new entity, Beam Middle East LLC, which will sell and manufacture Beam Global’s patented sustainable infrastructure solutions for transportation electrification, energy storage, energy security, and smart city development across the Middle East and African regions. This joint venture supports Beam Global’s strategy of geographic diversification by opening new markets and creating opportunities for revenue growth outside the United States. Beam Global, Beam Europe, and now Beam Middle East will each sell and manufacture the company’s full portfolio of patented sustainable technology solutions.

    “The Platinum Group is an organization of the highest reputation, influence and relationships in Abu Dhabi and the surrounding region. They are a perfect partner to accelerate Beam Global’s growth in the Middle East and Africa,” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global. “With planned spending on sustainable infrastructure in the region projected to reach $75.6 billion by 2030, we believe that Beam Global’s patented technology combined with Platinum’s unrivalled position should create a platform for growth which we are uniquely able to leverage. Platinum’s relationships with the best companies in the region and their government contacts, including at the highest level in the UAE and with entities like Masdar City, will allow Beam Middle East to secure direct audiences with top decision makers. Our technology is ideal for the region’s current and future plans, but this is a region where relationships matter just as much as products and solutions. That is why our joint venture with Platinum is so ideal – Beam’s tried and tested clean-technology solutions and Platinum’s influence and relationships form a combination that ticks all the boxes and is without rivals.”

    “The Platinum Group seeks out the highest quality, most timely and relevant companies in each of the industries we target. Beam Global’s unique and patented products are ideally suited to provide value to governments and businesses, as the Gulf region and beyond transitions to clean and sustainable technologies,” said Dr Ali Nasser Sultan Al Yahbouni Al Daheri, CEO of Platinum Group. “We are looking forward to ensuring that our new joint venture with Beam Global, forming Beam Middle East, is a highly successful enterprise with wins in the Middle East and increasingly in Africa. With abundant sunshine and fast-growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), renewables, and energy storage, the region is perfect for Beam Global’s solutions. Energy security and Smart Cities solutions like those offered by Beam Middle East are at the forefront of government planning. Our timing is right, and our partnership is formed on mutual benefit from growth and success. We are delighted to have Beam Global as part of our growing family of businesses.”

    Middle East Market Overview Across Five Key Markets: UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, and Jordan

    • The number of EVs in the region is projected to grow from approximately 69.0 thousand in 2024 to approximately 1.5 million by 2030 (Table 1), representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 66.6%.
    • Assuming a 5.0% share of regional chargers using EV ARC™ units, the addressable revenue could reach $516.5 million by 2030.
    • If eBikes account for just 5.0% of total EV volume and follow the same growth trajectory (Table 2), BeamBike™ units could represent a $245.0 million revenue opportunity in the region by 2030.

    Middle East Market Overview: Abu Dhabi Case Study

    • The UAE eBike market is projected to reach $443.8 million by 2030. Assuming 15.0% of that spend goes toward charging infrastructure, and that Abu Dhabi accounts for 35.0% of the national market based on population, the addressable eBike charger market for BeamBike™ in Abu Dhabi is approximately $23.3 million.
    • A streetlight-to-population ratio based on New York City, applied to Abu Dhabi’s estimated 3.8 million residents (Table 3), suggests BeamSpot™ units could represent a potential revenue opportunity of approximately $322.1 million assuming a market penetration of 5.0%.
    • Using Abu Dhabi’s population and a comparable U.S. Police motorcycle fleet ratio (Table 4), the opportunity to electrify local law enforcement fleets with BeamPatrol™ units is estimated at approximately $2.4 million.
    • With over 5.8 million annual hotel guests, Abu Dhabi also offers a strong use case for BeamSkoot™ at resorts, both for logistics and recreational purposes. Assuming adoption rates of 10.0% (Table 5), the potential revenue opportunity for BeamSkoot™ units could reach approximately $10.0 million.

    The above scenarios are estimates only, based upon market data taken from internet resources. Beam Global believes these case studies can be replicated in other markets across the Middle East and Africa.

    Key Terms of the Agreement
    Beam Middle East LLC will be a 50/50 joint venture between Beam Global and Platinum Group UAE, incorporated in Abu Dhabi. Beam Global will license its proprietary technologies to the joint venture and support it with incoming opportunities, training, marketing materials, and procurement assistance. Platinum Group will leverage its existing relationships at the highest levels, coordinate local sales, provide experienced and influential business development professionals, and establish manufacturing capabilities efficiently and inexpensively. Both parties will collaborate on the development of a regional manufacturing facility for the products. Beam Middle East will be headquartered in Masdar City, a pioneering sustainable urban community and world-class business and technology hub, where Platinum Group has recently signed an agreement. Masdar City is located in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, strategically positioned at the center of the country’s drive toward a net-zero future by 2050.

  • MIL-OSI: The Eclipse Foundation’s Jakarta EE Working Group Announces Jakarta EE 11 Release

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    BRUSSELS, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Jakarta EE, a working group hosted by the Eclipse Foundation, one of the world’s largest open source software foundations, today announced the general availability of the Jakarta EE 11 Platform, the latest version of its enterprise Java platform. This milestone release builds on previous Core Profile (December 2024) and Web Profile (March 2025) versions and represents a significant advancement in simplifying enterprise Java for cloud native development.

    Jakarta EE 11 focuses on enhancing developer productivity, streamlining testing processes, and aligning with the latest Java LTS release, Java 21. Highlights include modernised Test Compatibility Kits (TCKs), introduction of the Jakarta Data specification, along with major updates to the existing specifications, all designed to support the evolving needs of developers and organisations building mission-critical applications.

    “The renaissance of enterprise Java continues,” said Mike Milinkovich, executive director for the Eclipse Foundation. “Jakarta EE 11 introduces meaningful improvements in performance, testing, and productivity. The combination of innovation along with API stability and compatibility is what enterprise developers are looking for. There were many parties involved in this release, but I would like to recognize the efforts of Microsoft for leading the release and Red Hat for their efforts in modernizing the compatibility testing frameworks.”

    Key Highlights of Jakarta EE 11

    Jakarta Data (new specification)
    Designed to simplify data access and improve developer productivity:

    • BasicRepository: A built-in repository supertype for performing basic operations on entities.
    • CrudRepository: Facilitates basic CRUD operations, making database interactions more straightforward and less error-prone.
    • Pagination: Supports both offset and cursor-based pagination.
    • Query Language: A streamlined language designed to specify the semantics of query methods within Jakarta Data repositories.

    Streamlined Specifications
    Designed to make building applications faster and simpler for developers:

    • Managed Beans Deprecated: Removed for a simpler and more modern programming model.
    • CDI Enhancements: Greater emphasis on Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI) for consistent application behavior.
    • Java Records Support: Broader integration to ensure data integrity and reduce boilerplate code
    • Java SE SecurityManager references removed: In alignment with JEP 411, paving the way for more modern security practices.

    Modernised TCK Framework
    Improves compatibility testing and reduces the barriers to adding new tests as the platform evolves:

    • Upgraded Tools: Moved from Apache Ant and Java Test Harness to JUnit 5 and Apache Maven for enhanced efficiency and relevance.
    • Streamlined TCK Structure: Reduced complexity, making the TCK easier to learn and use.
    • Improved Accessibility: By updating the TCK to a multi-dependency Maven project, Jakarta EE 11 improves compatibility testing and reduces the barriers to adding new tests as the platform evolves, fostering future innovation.

    Jakarta EE 11 supports Java 17 or higher and introduces concurrency enhancements for Java 21, including support for Virtual Threads for improved scalability, reduced overhead, and significant performance gains.

    Early Adoption and Certified Implementations

    Several Jakarta EE Working Group members have already certified products as compatible with Jakarta EE 11, including:

    Following the release, additional implementations and compatible products are anticipated as the community continues to adopt Jakarta EE 11.

    Looking ahead, work is already underway on Jakarta EE 12, targeted for release in 2026. The upcoming version is expected to raise the platform’s API source level to Java SE 21 and support Java SE 25 at runtime. The community is actively exploring updates across most specifications, with potential additions such as Jakarta Query and Jakarta MVC, as well as enhancements to Jakarta NoSQL. Continuing its rhythm of steady progress, Jakarta EE aims to maintain a roughly two-year release cadence to support long-term planning and innovation.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Corporate Library Systems: Technologies and Innovations

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

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

    On June 23-24, the Polytechnic University hosted the XXIII conference “Corporate Library Systems: Technologies and Innovations” – KorFor-2025. Participants included library managers and employees, IT specialists, suppliers of electronic databases and equipment for automating institutions.

    The conference has been held since 2001, with a break in 2020. This year, more than 250 people participated in person and 500 specialists online from Russia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Italy. Experts discussed the activities of university, public and departmental libraries. The work took place in the format of discussion panels, strategic and thematic sections.

    At the plenary session, the Director of the Information and Library Complex of SPbPU Alexander Plemnek spoke with a report “AI as a driver of the transformation of libraries and librarianship on the horizon until 2035.” He compared the development forecasts that he made at conferences five and ten years ago, showing that many have come true, and earlier than predicted. Alexander Plemnek paid attention to one of the innovations of AI in 2025 – autonomous agents that are able to act independently, without direct human control, to achieve their goals. They resemble digital employees.

    The integration of GenAI and autonomous agents doesn’t just add new tools to a librarian’s toolbox; it fundamentally redefines what a library is and what librarians do. The profession is at a crossroads, facing extraordinary opportunities for growth and innovation, said Alexander Plemnek.

    Professor Fabio Di Bello, Wiley Client Training Manager, spoke online with a report entitled “Expanding the Possibilities of Academic Librarianship: Artificial Intelligence, Large Language Models, and the Future of Knowledge Management.” The expert demonstrated the capabilities of AI in translation. On the screen, a digital double of the speaker, who does not speak Russian, not only recited the text in literate Russian, but also reproduced facial expressions and phonetics of the language.

    The expert panel “From the instruction of the President of the Russian Federation to the implementation of the Concept of the federal project “Development of scientific and technical libraries”” became the most important event of the conference. It was attended by the acting Director General of the Russian State Public Library for Science and Technology Natalia Mikhalchenkova, Director of the M. Gorky Scientific Library of St. Petersburg State University Marina Karpova, Vice President of the Russian Library Association, Director of the Fundamental Library of the Herzen State Pedagogical University Natela Kvelidze-Kuznetsova, as well as representatives of other universities.

    Natalia Mikhalchenkova revealed the goals of the federal project aimed at transforming the state system of scientific and technical information to achieve technological leadership of the country. She focused on the project’s tasks in 2025 related to the creation of an up-to-date register of scientific and technical libraries subordinate to various ministries and departments, as well as the development of programs for improving the qualifications of librarians. Representatives of the universities of St. Petersburg and Kazan showed a variety of areas of development of university libraries dedicated to the collection, distribution and recording of scientific resources.

    Experts of the section “More than a library” presented a project for promoting and supporting the results of intellectual activity, new digital platforms for interaction with library services in 24/7/365 mode, spoke about events for creating educational video content, organizing a literary club and open lectures.

    The strategic session “Vectors of Development of Russian Discovery Systems: What Users Really Need” brought together developers of a modern domestic information search service that has replaced foreign systems, and representatives of universities that use it. A fruitful dialogue allowed us to see the progress over the first year of the system’s existence and discuss development directions based on the results of surveys of service users.

    Leading providers of scientific and educational databases shared their vision for the development of online resources and services for integration with university libraries.

    At the section “Electronic libraries, repositories, sites and applications” experts presented various options for electronic storage. For example, in the National Electronic Library of the Udmurt Republic – preservation of cultural heritage, in the repository of scientific data of SPbPU – various results of scientific research, including unpublished ones.

    The section “New library environment: developing vs. breaking traditions” showed different approaches to transforming libraries, from changing physical premises to introducing new virtual services, using AI assistants for readers and employees. Of particular interest was the report on projects for digital transformation of departmental library activities (using the Bank of Russia library as an example).

    At the round table “Practice of using the services of the SuperStat and FEDURUS projects in libraries,” a discussion was held on new forms of access to subscription resources based on a login and password, and the organization of collection and analysis of statistics on the use of online resources in an automated mode.

    The expert discussion “Acquisition and new regulatory documents: monitoring the situation, adapting to practice” concluded the conference program. Specialists from the National Library of Russia considered current issues related to the introduction of new regulatory documents that cause difficulties.

    On June 25, excursions were organized to the libraries of St. Petersburg, after which the participants became acquainted with the features of digital transformation in the libraries of the Republic of Karelia.

    An exhibition was held in the reading room of the IBC SPbPU, where one could get acquainted with the latest generation of book scanners from ELAR, which have improved the digitization and recognition of texts in many languages due to the introduction of AI, and test RFID equipment from various suppliers to optimize reader service.

    All speeches and presentations will be made publicly available. The conference materials will be posted in the Electronic Library of SPbPU and indexed in the Russian Science Citation Index.

    S for Housing attends Asia Pacific Network for Housing Research 2025 Conference at Tsinghua University  
         The APNHR is an international organisation focusing on housing issues in the Asia-Pacific region. The conference was held at Tsinghua University this year with the theme “Towards Resilience and Inclusivity: Adapting to Multifaceted Challenges in the Asia-Pacific Region”. The conference convened experts and scholars in the fields of architecture, urban planning, sociology, environmental studies, and others from the Asia-Pacific region to have in-depth exchanges on the housing development and challenges in the region, and to jointly explore ways to promote innovative housing construction and development directions. Participants included professors and students from Tsinghua University and relevant trade representatives.
    ???
         Ms Ho attended the roundtable session of the conference in the morning. She shared the opportunities and challenges in housing development faced by the Housing Bureau (HB) of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government and the Hong Kong Housing Authority (HKHA). She said that the current-term HKSAR Government has actively addressed Hong Kong’s housing problems since taking office, overcoming livelihood issues and addressing people’s concerns by identifying sites and enhancing the quantity, speed, efficiency and quality of public housing construction. The HB is working full steam ahead on implementing groundbreaking innovative policy initiatives, such as Light Public Housing (LPH) and Basic Housing Units, to tackle the “long-standing, big and difficult” issue that has plagued Hong Kong for many years and to provide the grassroots with options to improve their living environment and quality of life. The HKHA, established over 50 years ago, has long been providing affordable rental housing to low-income families with housing needs. It continuously enhances the housing ladder to help low- to middle-income families gain access to subsidised home ownership, encouraging them to move up the housing ladder and thus enhance people’s sense of contentment and happiness.
     
         Ms Ho said that Hong Kong, with its distinctive advantages of enjoying strong support from the motherland and being closely connected to the world, has leveraged the strengths of the Mainland cities of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in smart construction. The HB and the HKHA have been making use of various innovative construction technologies, such as Modular Integrated Construction (MiC), construction robots and smart project management platforms, to enhance construction efficiency and build LPH expeditiously, so as to improve the living conditions of those who are inadequately housed as soon as possible.
     
         She also introduced at the conference the “Well-being design” guide launched by the HB and the HKHA last year. It covers eight well-being concepts, namely “Health & Vitality”, “Green Living and Sustainability”, “Age-Friendliness”, “Intergenerational & Inclusive Living”, “Family & Community Connection”, “Urban Integration”, “Upward Mobility” and “Perception & Image”. The guide serves as a reference for the future design of new public housing and the improvement works of existing public rental housing estates, with a view to creating a more comfortable and vibrant living environment for public housing tenants. Apart from housing construction, the HKHA has also continued to enhance management efficiency and service quality of its nearly 200 public rental housing estates by actively promoting smart estate management and introducing new technologies to optimise estate management and building maintenance services, to provide a better living environment for its residents.
     
         In the afternoon, Ms Ho visited the Qingtangwan public rental housing project in Beijing. This project is a green residential area that adopted the use of prefabricated components and environmental monitoring platforms, among others, that facilitate energy saving and decarbonisation and promote a low-carbon lifestyle. It also implements smart community management through community apps. This is in line with the HKHA’s direction of promoting smart estate management through innovative technologies, which is of reference value to Hong Kong.
     
         Afterwards, Ms Ho met with the Deputy Director-General of the Bureau of International Cooperation of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, Mr Xie Hui, to exchange views on housing design and planning. She also shared the adoption of advanced construction technologies from the Mainland in Hong Kong and the outcomes. She mentioned that this year, under the Housing•I&T initiative, the HB will organise a series of activities and visits, including an international symposium to be held in Hong Kong in November, to showcase to the world the latest developments of construction technologies in Mainland China and Hong Kong. The HB will fully capitalise on Hong Kong’s unique advantages of connecting with both the Mainland and the rest of the world and play the role of a “super connector” and a “super value-adder”. She expressed hope that friends from around the world could attend the symposium to be hosted by Hong Kong at the end of this year.
     
         Yesterday (June 25), Ms Ho visited the Better House Living Tech Lab and was briefed on the practice of combining housing design concepts of quality homes and technologies on the Mainland. Some examples are the installation of age-friendly facilities such as handrails and sensor lights, and the External Wall Three-Axis Surveillance System for monitoring the old exterior walls’ stability, to create a safe and eco-friendly smart living environment.
     
         Ms Ho will continue her visit to Beijing tomorrow (June 27) before returning to Hong Kong.

  • MIL-OSI: Altcoin Season Officially Begins With Bitcoin Solaris: The Bitcoin Alternative Creating a New Wealthy Class

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TALLINN, Estonia, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — crypto world has seen its fair share of trends, seasons, and tokens that promised to change the financial landscape. But this time, something feels different. Investors are not just chasing hype. They’re analyzing architecture, technology, and long-term sustainability. As altcoin season kicks off again, one name is echoing louder across communities, forums, and influencer breakdowns: Bitcoin Solaris. It is not a meme coin. It’s not a pump-and-dump. It is the foundation of what could be crypto’s next generational wealth movement.

    Engineered for the Future: Bitcoin Solaris as a Scalable Financial Platform

    Bitcoin Solaris is designed from the ground up to meet the demands of today’s digital economy. Built for speed, efficiency, and accessibility, it aims to power a new era of decentralized finance and utility-driven crypto engagement.

    With native support for smart contracts, seamless scalability, and an energy-efficient framework, Bitcoin Solaris empowers everyday users and seasoned investors alike. Whether through mining, staking, or application deployment, the platform delivers real-world usability that aligns with long-term adoption goals.

    By focusing on innovation, inclusion, and sustainability, Bitcoin Solaris opens a new economic path for those seeking reliable blockchain infrastructure and meaningful participation in the crypto economy.

    Why Bitcoin Solaris Is Leading This Altcoin Season

    Bitcoin Solaris (BTC-S) isn’t climbing the charts by chance. It is engineered for performance, adoption, and wealth distribution. The upcoming Solaris Nova App is a breakthrough move, letting anyone mine from their mobile phone or laptop without needing expensive gear or deep technical knowledge. This isn’t theoretical. Through the exciting release of the app, Bitcoin Solaris is shifting the mining landscape into something accessible and instantly rewarding.

    But accessibility is just the beginning. Behind BTC-S lies a double-layered engine:

    • The Base Layer uses Proof of Work (PoW) combined with Proof of Contribution (PoC) to ensure rock-solid decentralization.
    • The Application Layer utilizes Proof of History (PoH) and Proof of Time (PoT), allowing 10,000 transactions per second with a finality speed of just 2 seconds.

    This dual-consensus approach gives Bitcoin Solaris unmatched versatility and scalability.

    • Network processes 10,000+ TPS with near-instant settlement.
    • Smart contracts are programmable across multiple use cases, including DeFi, gaming, and payments.
    • Energy efficiency is enhanced by design, reducing unnecessary consumption.
    • Validator rotation ensures fairness and network resilience.

    All of this is powered by a limited 21 million token supply, echoing Bitcoin’s iconic scarcity principle while improving every other layer of functionality.

    Mining as a Path to Wealth

    Mining Bitcoin Solaris doesn’t require a warehouse of GPUs or sky-high electricity bills. Thanks to its design, mining is directly tied to holding BTC-S, which reduces sell pressure and strengthens the network. This circular model means that the more engaged the community, the more sustainable the system.

    Anyone can estimate their potential profits using the Bitcoin Solaris mining calculator, which gives real-time insights based on token holdings and participation.

    This user-centric mining approach has already gained massive interest. Influencer breakdowns, like the detailed review from Crypto Show, highlight how BTC-S bridges the gap between decentralization, accessibility, and profitability.

    The Explosive Rise of the Presale

    The current phase of the Bitcoin Solaris presale is causing serious waves. With the price now at $9 and less than 6 weeks left before the launch at $20, urgency is in the air. Over 12,300 users have already joined the movement. It’s not just one of the most talked-about presales in 2025. It is shaping up to be one of the most explosive in crypto history.

    Newcomers entering now can still lock in an 7 percent bonus. Early-stage buyers have already seen remarkable growth. The momentum keeps building as funds raised surpass $5 million, and the Bitcoin Solaris presale continues attracting the kind of FOMO most projects only dream of. You can learn more and join the growing ecosystem via the official Bitcoin Solaris website.

    The Referral Program: A Wealth Accelerator

    Bitcoin Solaris has also structured one of the smartest community-driven campaigns through its referral system. Referrers earn a 5 percent BTC-S bonus on every purchase through their link, while the invited participants also receive a 5 percent bonus on their purchase. It’s a double-reward design that encourages growth and inclusivity.

    Add to that the daily mini games introduced by bitcoin solaris for holders to earn free prizes on a daily basis, the earning potential is just limitless.

    Long-Term Strength: Audits, Ecosystem, and Stability

    Bitcoin Solaris is not flying under the radar. The platform has passed full security audits by both Cyberscope and Freshcoins, which adds confidence in its code and operations. Meanwhile, its Telegram and X channels keep users connected and informed, giving BTC-S the transparency needed for long-term engagement.

    Another reason this project is becoming a pillar of altcoin season is how carefully it was structured post-launch. Its price stability model includes:

    • A mining-first token distribution, with over 66 percent of tokens reserved for long-term contributors.
    • A fixed 21 million supply that mimics Bitcoin while rewarding network participants.
    • Controlled exchange listings to prevent fragmentation and maintain liquidity.

    All these aspects contribute to one thing: Bitcoin Solaris isn’t trying to be the next meme. It is focused on building the next financial infrastructure layer.

    Final Verdict

    Bitcoin Solaris is positioned at the intersection of accessibility, innovation, and community. As the altcoin season unfolds, its presale success, user-focused mining app, and strong technical foundation are making it one of the most compelling opportunities of 2025.

    Whether you’re new to crypto or a seasoned investor, Bitcoin Solaris offers a gateway to the next era of decentralized wealth-building.

  • MIL-OSI: Altcoin Season Officially Begins With Bitcoin Solaris: The Bitcoin Alternative Creating a New Wealthy Class

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TALLINN, Estonia, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — crypto world has seen its fair share of trends, seasons, and tokens that promised to change the financial landscape. But this time, something feels different. Investors are not just chasing hype. They’re analyzing architecture, technology, and long-term sustainability. As altcoin season kicks off again, one name is echoing louder across communities, forums, and influencer breakdowns: Bitcoin Solaris. It is not a meme coin. It’s not a pump-and-dump. It is the foundation of what could be crypto’s next generational wealth movement.

    Engineered for the Future: Bitcoin Solaris as a Scalable Financial Platform

    Bitcoin Solaris is designed from the ground up to meet the demands of today’s digital economy. Built for speed, efficiency, and accessibility, it aims to power a new era of decentralized finance and utility-driven crypto engagement.

    With native support for smart contracts, seamless scalability, and an energy-efficient framework, Bitcoin Solaris empowers everyday users and seasoned investors alike. Whether through mining, staking, or application deployment, the platform delivers real-world usability that aligns with long-term adoption goals.

    By focusing on innovation, inclusion, and sustainability, Bitcoin Solaris opens a new economic path for those seeking reliable blockchain infrastructure and meaningful participation in the crypto economy.

    Why Bitcoin Solaris Is Leading This Altcoin Season

    Bitcoin Solaris (BTC-S) isn’t climbing the charts by chance. It is engineered for performance, adoption, and wealth distribution. The upcoming Solaris Nova App is a breakthrough move, letting anyone mine from their mobile phone or laptop without needing expensive gear or deep technical knowledge. This isn’t theoretical. Through the exciting release of the app, Bitcoin Solaris is shifting the mining landscape into something accessible and instantly rewarding.

    But accessibility is just the beginning. Behind BTC-S lies a double-layered engine:

    • The Base Layer uses Proof of Work (PoW) combined with Proof of Contribution (PoC) to ensure rock-solid decentralization.
    • The Application Layer utilizes Proof of History (PoH) and Proof of Time (PoT), allowing 10,000 transactions per second with a finality speed of just 2 seconds.

    This dual-consensus approach gives Bitcoin Solaris unmatched versatility and scalability.

    • Network processes 10,000+ TPS with near-instant settlement.
    • Smart contracts are programmable across multiple use cases, including DeFi, gaming, and payments.
    • Energy efficiency is enhanced by design, reducing unnecessary consumption.
    • Validator rotation ensures fairness and network resilience.

    All of this is powered by a limited 21 million token supply, echoing Bitcoin’s iconic scarcity principle while improving every other layer of functionality.

    Mining as a Path to Wealth

    Mining Bitcoin Solaris doesn’t require a warehouse of GPUs or sky-high electricity bills. Thanks to its design, mining is directly tied to holding BTC-S, which reduces sell pressure and strengthens the network. This circular model means that the more engaged the community, the more sustainable the system.

    Anyone can estimate their potential profits using the Bitcoin Solaris mining calculator, which gives real-time insights based on token holdings and participation.

    This user-centric mining approach has already gained massive interest. Influencer breakdowns, like the detailed review from Crypto Show, highlight how BTC-S bridges the gap between decentralization, accessibility, and profitability.

    The Explosive Rise of the Presale

    The current phase of the Bitcoin Solaris presale is causing serious waves. With the price now at $9 and less than 6 weeks left before the launch at $20, urgency is in the air. Over 12,300 users have already joined the movement. It’s not just one of the most talked-about presales in 2025. It is shaping up to be one of the most explosive in crypto history.

    Newcomers entering now can still lock in an 7 percent bonus. Early-stage buyers have already seen remarkable growth. The momentum keeps building as funds raised surpass $5 million, and the Bitcoin Solaris presale continues attracting the kind of FOMO most projects only dream of. You can learn more and join the growing ecosystem via the official Bitcoin Solaris website.

    The Referral Program: A Wealth Accelerator

    Bitcoin Solaris has also structured one of the smartest community-driven campaigns through its referral system. Referrers earn a 5 percent BTC-S bonus on every purchase through their link, while the invited participants also receive a 5 percent bonus on their purchase. It’s a double-reward design that encourages growth and inclusivity.

    Add to that the daily mini games introduced by bitcoin solaris for holders to earn free prizes on a daily basis, the earning potential is just limitless.

    Long-Term Strength: Audits, Ecosystem, and Stability

    Bitcoin Solaris is not flying under the radar. The platform has passed full security audits by both Cyberscope and Freshcoins, which adds confidence in its code and operations. Meanwhile, its Telegram and X channels keep users connected and informed, giving BTC-S the transparency needed for long-term engagement.

  • MIL-OSI Europe: France: Gatewatcher secures €25 million EIB investment to accelerate growth and reinforce European cyber resilience

    Source: European Investment Bank

    • The EIB is backing Gatewatcher’s ambition to strengthen Europe’s technological sovereignty.
    • The French firm, recently named the only “Visionary” in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant for network detection and response (NDR), will use the funding to boost innovation and continue to expand internationally.
    • This transaction is part of the EIB Group’s ever-stronger commitment to security and defence, as reaffirmed by the Board of Governors at their annual meeting on 20 June.  

    Marking its largest venture debt investment in cybersecurity to date, the European Investment Bank (EIB) has granted a €25 million financing facility to Gatewatcher, a French company recognised as a European leader in cyber threat detection. Gatewatcher has developed an advanced network detection and response (NDR) platform that combines artificial intelligence and threat intelligence to deliver real-time visibility across all digital environments. The funds will accelerate the development of Gatewatcher’s advanced detection technologies and support its international expansion in a context of rising cyber threats and renewed focus on European autonomy.

    EIB Vice-President Ambroise Fayolle said: “Cybersecurity is a strategic sector within the defence industry. Having the capability to prevent cyberattacks, safeguard the integrity of infrastructure and data, and identify those responsible for attacks is now imperative for Europe’s security and the competitiveness of our economies. We are therefore proud to support the development of a company like Gatewatcher, which is fully dedicated to cybersecurity and whose results are already promising. The project is also fully in line with the EIB’s new strategy to finance the European security and defence sector.”

    “This investment is a strong signal of trust from a major European institution. It represents a shared commitment to building a secure, digital future,” said CEO and founder of Gatewatcher Jacques de La Rivière. “This financing allows us to pursue our innovation efforts for our clients and partners, while accelerating the market launch of our latest AI solution. Our ambition is clear: to bring cutting-edge threat detection technologies to the broadest possible market, while contributing to the emergence of a robust European cybersecurity industry. This next phase of growth is first and foremost a collective one, driven by our teams and guided by a sense of responsibility to our ecosystem.”

    The financing comes as Gatewatcher marks its tenth anniversary and continues to scale across Europe, Middle East, Asia and Africa. A pioneer in large-scale fundraising within the European cybersecurity sector, Gatewatcher is confirming its long-term vision, strategic independence and strength in a fiercely competitive global market with this new milestone. Its inclusion as the only fully European vendor, and the sole “Visionary” in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant for network detection and response further confirms its role as a key player in Europe’s cyber defence ecosystem. Today, Gatewatcher’s technologies protect hundreds of public and private organisations, including critical infrastructure operators, governments and enterprises.

    For the EIB Group, this transaction confirms its commitment to security and defence, just a few days after the Bank’s annual Board of Governors meeting on 20 June, where the 27 EU Member States approved the plan to increase the financing volume for 2025 to an unprecedented level of up to €100 billion. This revised ceiling will notably enable 3.5% of total financing to be dedicated to European security and defence. Further information on the EIB Group’s financing of security and defence projects is available here.
