Stockholm – October 22, 2026 -- Nordic design and lifestyle brand ARKET will open its fifth store in Sweden in late 2026, adding a third location in its home city of Stockholm at Biblioteksgatan 11.

New Biblioteksgatan store joins four existing Swedish locations

The Biblioteksgatan outlet will sit alongside ARKET's current Stockholm stores on Drottninggatan and Götgatan. The brand also operates stores in Malmö and Gothenburg, so the opening brings its Swedish network to five.

Assortment centres on ready-to-wear, accessories and interior objects

The new store will carry a curated selection of ready-to-wear and accessories for women and men, plus interior objects. ARKET's broader format covers collections for women, men, children and the home, as well as an in-store seasonal vegetarian café. The source does not say whether the Biblioteksgatan store will include the café or children's ranges.

Global – October 22, 2026 -- SAP has stopped supporting updates to SAP Enable Now and is migrating customers to WalkMe, its recent acquisition. Organizations with learning programs on the legacy platform must now pick a replacement path.

Guide ranks six alternatives to SAP Enable Now

The vendor guide compares Whatfix, WalkMe, Assima, datango, Pendo and Userpilot. Datango is described as a migration-oriented option for legacy SAP Enable Now content. Pendo and Userpilot target customer-facing products, not SAP-centered employee enablement.

The guide frames the choice as a decision between a narrow, SAP-only training platform and a broader digital adoption model. That model would cover governed content operations, in-app support and measurable workflow outcomes across SAP and non-SAP systems.

Savannah – October 22, 2026 -- The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) delivered a fully functional, all-electric concept car, The Aether, with an entirely 3D-printed body, and showed it at the 2024 Formula 1 U.S. Grand Prix in Austin, Texas.

Hatch Exhibits prints main panels on a Massivit 5000

Custom design studio Hatch Exhibits partnered with the SCAD team to print the main car panels on a Massivit 5000 large-scale 3D printer. The machine uses Gel Dispensing Printing, which cures material with UV light during printing. It builds geometries from CAD designs or 3D scans, and panels can be reprinted within a few hours.

The project was led by Rafael Corazza Ronchetti, a former Lamborghini and Audi supercar designer who now teaches Industrial Design at SCAD. His team drew on the Ferrari 312 F1 and Porsche 917 for the convertible's styling.

Global – October 22, 2026 -- A string of ride fires, including a blaze at Germany's Europa-Park that injured seven people, is sharpening the focus on fire-resistant materials in themed entertainment, where Massivit 3D is promoting its flame-retardant CIM-84 resin for scenic fabrication.

Incidents at Europa-Park, Carowinds and Orlando expose operators to direct and reputational costs

Direct costs of a park incident include halted operations, repairs, medical bills, workers' compensation and legal fees. Intangible losses weigh more heavily: lost goodwill, eroded customer trust and lower shareholder value. Beyond the Europa-Park fire, the industry points to a Ferris wheel fire in Orlando and a bumper car fire at Carowinds as examples of inadequate fire protection.
