Groenlo – October 15, 2026 -- Nedap grew third-quarter 2026 revenue by 7% year on year, with its four key markets up 9% and year-to-date key-market growth at 12%. Recurring revenue rose 17% in the first nine months of 2026 and made up 42% of total revenue for the period.

Recurring revenue grew faster than total revenue and increased in all four key markets in the quarter. CEO Rob Schuurman said the company remains on track with its Step Up! strategy.

Livestock revenue falls on delivery timing and subscription shift

Livestock revenue declined against a strong third quarter of 2025. Nedap attributes the drop mainly to delivery timing and a further move toward subscription-based offerings. Recurring revenue in the unit rose as adoption of as-a-service offerings grew, and the installed base expanded across multiple regions.

Beijing – October 15, 2026 -- Huawei projects that the number of AI agents worldwide could reach 900 billion by 2035, roughly 100 times the global population, and argues that mobile core networks must be rebuilt to handle them.

The projection comes from Huawei's Intelligent World 2035 report. The company says core network architecture must be able to support long-term growth in new connections and services. It describes the shift as a move from transporting data bits to enabling task-oriented tokens, with agentic services becoming typical mobile network scenarios as AI terminals and applications spread.

Huawei defines three agentic service scenarios for experience assurance

Agent Over New Radio (AoNR) targets task latency. Portable AI devices are limited by computing power, battery capacity, size, and cost, so end-to-end task latency must stay below demanding thresholds.

Beijing – October 15, 2026 -- SANY Renewable Energy is raising the design life of its wind turbines from 20 to 25 years, a change it estimates will lift generation profit by 56-58% over the operating period and cut levelized cost of energy (LCOE) by 6-7%. The company announced the upgrade at China Wind Power 2026.

SANY starts the 25-year upgrade with its 915 platform

The longer lifecycle debuts on the 915 platform. SANY says key components are being engineered and fatigue-tested for the full 25-year span, and select 6.X-11.X MW models are already certified for extended life.

The company puts the project-level gain at a 0.8 percentage point uplift in internal rate of return (IRR). It framed the upgrade as a response to market-based electricity pricing and grid integration pressure.

Oslo – October 15, 2026 -- TGS has secured multi-client rights from state agency PetroGuin to reprocess more than 11,000 km2 of JAAN 3D seismic data across Guinea-Bissau, with final products due in Q4 2027.

TGS builds on 2019 reprocessing with new imaging tools

The agreement builds on the parties' previous 2019 PSDM reprocessing. TGS will apply elastic dynamic-matching full waveform inversion (E-DMFWI) and Kirchhoff pre-stack depth migration (KPSDM). The company expects a significant uplift in image quality compared with the existing data.

Improved imaging targets clastic and carbonate plays

The upgraded images are meant to improve assessment of both clastic and carbonate targets across the margin. TGS says this will give explorers greater confidence in evaluating prospectivity as they plan future exploration activity in Guinea-Bissau.

Singapore – October 14, 2026 -- Caladan's Cayman Islands entity, CLDN Cayman Ltd, has been registered with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) as a Registered Person under the Securities Investment Business Act (SIBA), effective 7 October 2026.

Caladan builds its derivatives business on the Cayman registration

The proprietary trading group and digital asset liquidity provider plans to develop its institutional derivatives business through CLDN Cayman Ltd. The registration gives the firm a regulatory foundation in the Cayman Islands for that expansion.

Julia Zhou, President of Caladan, said the registration supports the next stage of the firm's institutional derivatives strategy.

Paris – October 14, 2026 -- The share of patients reporting sleep difficulties fell by 59%, 56% and 55% within 48 hours of starting Mucosolvan or Bisolvon, according to a new real-world study from Opella on acute chesty cough.

Sleep complaints drop across three categories within 48 hours

The percentage of patients reporting difficulty falling asleep fell by 59%. Those reporting difficulty staying asleep fell by 56%, and those reporting sleep-related tiredness by 55%. Opella describes sleep disruption as a primary patient concern.

Social impact of cough improves meaningfully within 72 hours

Patients achieved a clinically meaningful improvement in the social impact of cough within 72 hours. Data also showed improvements in daily functioning from the first day of treatment.

PARIS – – October 14, 2026 -- XPENG is opening its full in-house technology stack and engineering toolchains to global automotive partners under a new "XPENG AI Engineering" strategy, after Chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng became the first Chinese automaker chief to deliver a keynote at the Paris Automotive Summit.

XPENG offers vehicle platforms, batteries and AI chips to outside manufacturers

The offer covers vehicle platforms, E/E architecture, batteries, e-drives, the AI BOX, the Turing AI chip and the Turing physical world foundation model. He said no single manufacturer holds all the advantages needed for the next generation of smart mobility. Under the model, partners can co-develop differentiated products while building their own technology capabilities over time.

Seattle – October 14, 2026 -- Nearly 650 Horizon Air pilots held an informational picket in Seattle and Boise, pressing the Alaska Air Group subsidiary to settle a contract after almost four years of negotiations.

The pilots are represented by Teamsters Local 1224. The union says talks cover wages, staffing and training shortages, and operational concerns affecting both employees and the airline's future.

Union says Horizon pilots fly nearly as much as Alaska Airlines pilots but are paid below industry standards

Local 1224 argues that Horizon pilots perform nearly the same amount of flying as their counterparts at parent-carrier Alaska Airlines. It blames the pay gap on the company's refusal to negotiate a fair agreement.

Henry Simkins, Chair of Local 1224's Horizon Executive Council, said management is "dragging its feet" on a contract and that operational dysfunction has become impossible to ignore in bargaining.

London – October 14, 2026 -- Eight in ten executives surveyed across Europe and the Middle East say an AI-related incident reached their board or C-suite in the past year, yet only 40% of those organizations changed AI governance policy or frameworks in response, according to new IBM research.

56% of executives keep deploying AI while governance catches up

When deployment speed outpaces governance and compliance readiness, 56% of respondents proceed within agreed risk limits while governance adapts. One third delay deployment until governance is ready.
