Maastricht – October 14, 2026 -- More than half of respondents to the MAPPA patient survey received a primary immunodeficiency (PID) diagnosis after age 18, and 28% reported permanent damage at the time of diagnosis, according to preliminary findings Kedrion Biopharma and AIP APS will present at ESID 2026.

MAPPA survey expands from Italy to Portugal, Spain and Turkey

The survey was developed by AIP APS, the Italian Association for Primary Immunodeficiencies, in collaboration with Kedrion. It collects real-world data on the experiences of people living with PIDs across Europe. The expansion from Italy to Portugal, Spain and Turkey is expected to provide new evidence on patient pathways, diagnostic journeys and unmet needs.

AIP APS President Alessandro Segato said that turning patient experiences into evidence helps identify shared needs that might otherwise remain unseen, and can strengthen diagnosis, care and support at a European level.

Cambridge – – October 14, 2026 -- TRI has released OPRA 26.2, an update to its risk-based quality management (RBQM) platform that adds an AI agent, RiskIQ, to draft protocol risk assessments. The release is available from October 14, 2026.

RiskIQ drafts Critical-to-Quality assessments from uploaded protocols

RiskIQ sits in OPRA's Protocol Insights module. It analyzes an uploaded protocol and generates a first-draft assessment of Critical-to-Quality (CtQ) factors, risks and their relationships. It works from each organization's own CtQ types and risk categories rather than generic templates.

Risk managers can edit, accept or reject every suggestion before promoting the result into OPRA as the initial risk assessment. No AI-generated content enters a live study automatically. Every decision is audit-logged and exportable.

RiskIQ is also available as a standalone application that works with any RBQM platform.

Dallas – October 14, 2026 -- Solidion Technology (NASDAQ: STI) says its PEAK Series uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system can cut UPS footprint by up to 30%, based on company testing, as it targets AI data center operators short on floor space.

PEAK Series uses a proprietary 5500 silicon-carbon anode cell

The PEAK Series is a UPS battery system built for AI data centers around Solidion's proprietary 5500 silicon-carbon anode cell. The company says the design is meant to free floor space that operators could otherwise use for servers and additional computing equipment.

Rising power density in AI facilities is increasing pressure on the systems that keep sites running during grid disruptions, according to the company. UPS batteries occupy space that could hold computing hardware and require periodic replacement.

London – October 14, 2026 -- Price reporting agency Argus has launched the first ticket price assessments for renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs) used in Germany's road transport sector, giving the emerging renewable hydrogen market a new benchmark.

Assessments cover RFNBO hydrogen, e-methanol and e-methane

The assessments reflect the value of RFNBO hydrogen and of products made from it, including e-methanol and e-methane. These fuels can be used to meet Germany's greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction rules.

Germany has introduced a dedicated RFNBO quota for road transport. The quota creates a mandated market for renewable hydrogen and related products and raises demand for transparent, independent price references.

Vienna – October 14, 2026 -- Fibocom is showing a 5G-Advanced fixed wireless access (FWA) module that adds Upper 6GHz (U6G) support and delivers peak 5G downlink speeds of up to 10Gbps. The FG390-MEA-30 variant is on display at NetworkX 2026.

FG390-MEA-30 adds NR n104 and cross-band aggregation with Sub-6GHz

The module is built on MediaTek's 3GPP Release 18 T930 platform. It supports NR n104 and works alongside Sub-6GHz bands through carrier aggregation combinations including CA_n41A-n104A and CA_n78A-n104A. Fibocom says pairing U6G bandwidth with established Sub-6GHz coverage raises throughput while keeping connectivity reliable.

The module targets customer premises equipment (CPE), outdoor units (ODUs) and enterprise gateways. Fibocom says it simplifies product development, streamlines certification and shortens time to market.

Ljubljana – October 14, 2026 -- Bilateral goods trade between Serbia and Slovenia reached approximately US$2.04 billion in 2025, according to the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia, and EXPO 2027 Belgrade is using that base to recruit Slovenian tourism and business partners.

Visit Serbia event opens ticket sales to travel partners

The Visit Serbia B2B Networking event takes place on 15 October 2026 from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the InterContinental Ljubljana. It is part of the EXPO 2027 Belgrade international roadshow. The programme introduces the exhibition, officially launches ticket sales for travel partners and includes B2B networking in tourism and business.

Slovenia's pavilion concept will be presented, and the two sides will sign a Memorandum of Cooperation.

London – October 14, 2026 -- Sidel has launched EvoDECO Next, a roll-fed labelling platform that its modelling shows can cut label surface by up to 75% against a conventional wraparound label, saving one high-volume line about €723,000 a year in raw material.

Partial labels cut BOPP use by 208.4 tonnes a year in Sidel's example

The 75% maximum applies to Sidel's illustrated 90° partial-label configuration. A 180° configuration reduces label surface by 50%.

In Sidel's worked example, a 61,000 bottles-per-hour line produces about 459 million bottles a year. Moving from a full wraparound label to a 90° partial label shrinks label area from 20,160 mm2 to 5,040 mm2 per bottle. That cuts BOPP consumption by 208.4 tonnes annually and associated CO2 emissions by 346 tonnes. Sidel says the CO2 and cost figures rest on its own modelling assumptions and may vary with product, material specification and operating conditions.
