Vienna, Austria – September 04, 2026 -- Rankscale GmbH has launched a new analytics module that tracks paid ad placements inside ChatGPT, as OpenAI rolls out ChatGPT Ads across 31 European markets including Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Poland and Austria.

ChatGPT Ads expansion creates a new competitive layer for European advertisers

The rollout gives advertisers a new channel within AI conversations, but also a challenge: understanding when, where and in what context their ads appear. Rankscale, an Austrian AI-visibility platform, extends its existing organic-visibility technology to systematically analyze how ChatGPT Ads are served to users.

DELRAY BEACH, FLA. – September 04, 2026 -- The global PTFE membranes market is projected to reach $2.84 billion by 2031, up from $2.14 billion in 2026, expanding at a compound annual growth rate of 5.8%, according to MarketsandMarkets.

Asia Pacific commands 42.2% market share as region emerges fastest-growing

Asia Pacific accounted for 42.2% of the PTFE membranes market in 2026, driven by industrial expansion, pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturing, and semiconductor production across China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. The region is also expected to post the fastest growth through 2031, as countries increase investment in advanced manufacturing, healthcare infrastructure, and water treatment capacity.

SAN JOSE, Calif. – September 04, 2026 -- Mixx Technologies, Inc. has launched the SxCTM Connector, an optical connector capable of terminating up to 24,576 fibers in a single rack unit, a density the company says is four times greater than MMC-VSFF, the highest-density connector platform currently qualified for deployment.

Connector density becomes the bottleneck for co-packaged optics deployment

Mixx, a venture-backed deep-tech firm building co-packaged optics (CPO) for hyperscale AI infrastructure, said existing connector families cannot support the fiber density that next-generation inference workloads require. A 400T switch brings thousands of fibers out of a single box, exceeding what pluggable transceivers can support at the front panel. Mixture-of-experts and agentic AI workloads demand high radix — the number of endpoints a single node can reach — to minimize latency and reduce switching layers, transceivers, and cables.

Kingsville, ON – September 04, 2026 -- Greenway Greenhouse Cannabis Corporation (CSE: GWAY) (OTCQB: GWAYF) reported net revenue of CA$2.23 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, up 38% from CA$1.62 million a year earlier, while grams sold hit a record 2.33 million, an 8% increase over the prior high.

Cash cost per gram falls 30% to CA$0.69 as production efficiency improves

The company generated CA$36,778 in cash from operating activities, reversing a cash outflow of CA$865,538 in the same quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA came in positive at CA$47,900, even as net loss and comprehensive loss totaled CA$659,893. Gross margin before fair value adjustments narrowed to 12%, reflecting a lower average net sales price of CA$0.96 per gram, or CA$1.30 per gram excluding inventory tied to discontinued cultivars.

Arlington – September 04, 2026 -- Some 72.5% of organizations are currently invested in data management solutions and plan to increase that spending, yet many governance programs remain fragmented and produce activity without measurable impact, according to Info-Tech Research Group.

Governance priority tops both AI and non-AI data agendas

Info-Tech's Future of IT 2026 Survey found that improving data governance ranked as the leading data priority for supporting AI goals, cited by 30% of respondents, and outside AI, cited by 40%. The research group says this points to a disconnect between heavy investment in management solutions and unresolved governance decisions needed to guide them.

Sydney – September 04, 2026 -- Kazia Therapeutics Limited (NASDAQ: KZIA) has closed an oversubscribed, tranched public offering that generated approximately $40 million in upfront gross proceeds, with total potential proceeds reaching approximately $120 million if milestone-linked warrants are fully exercised.

Offering priced above market with milestone-triggered warrant premiums

The combined offering price was set at $15.50 per American Depositary Share (ADS), with both warrant tranches priced at premiums to that level. Series A Warrants carry an exercise price of $17.825 per ADS, a 15% premium, tied to Kazia's Stage IV triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) data readout expected in the second half of 2027. Series B Warrants carry an exercise price of $19.375 per ADS, a 25% premium, tied to the company's HR+/HER2- breast cancer data readout expected in the first half of 2028.

Dallas – September 04, 2026 -- Cango Inc. (NYSE: CANG) reported a net loss of US$81.6 million for the second quarter of 2026, driven primarily by non-cash impairment and disposal charges on its Bitcoin mining fleet, as the company accelerates a pivot toward AI compute infrastructure.

Revenue halves as company right-sizes mining fleet

Total revenue fell approximately 50% sequentially to US$50.8 million, with US$47.4 million derived from Bitcoin mining and US$3.4 million from other sources. The decline stemmed from Cango's decision to phase out older S19-series mining machines and shift some capacity to a hosted leasing model, a move management said improved operating costs and cash flow despite the top-line hit.

San Jose, Calif. – September 04, 2026 -- SiMa.ai and ARK Electronics have launched the ARK-SiMa.ai Modalix MLSoC Bundles, a production-ready hardware-software package aimed at cutting development time for autonomous drones used in defense, agriculture, and commercial operations.

Joint platform pairs SiMa.ai compute with ARK Electronics drone hardware

The bundles combine SiMa.ai's Modalix System-on-Module, built on its Modalix MLSoC, with Palette Neat, an agentic development environment the company says compresses AI development timelines from months to days. ARK Electronics, a Salt Lake City-based maker of made-in-the-USA, NDAA-compliant, Blue UAS-listed flight controllers and embedded computers, built and validated the joint solution for the drone ecosystem.

Gross margin holds above 90% despite revenue drop

Gross profit fell 23.0% to US$4.769 million, but gross margin remained elevated at 90.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, up from 88.4% a year earlier. The company attributed the resilience to its direct-to-consumer model and disciplined cost structure at consumer wellness subsidiary B.I. Sky Global Ltd., which it owns 60%.

Electrification of first eight buses is projected to cut 5,984 metric tons of CO2 equivalent

UB, transportation provider WeDriveU and fleet electrification specialist Zenobē estimate the shift will deliver a 55.6% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared with diesel-powered service, equivalent to removing roughly 1,395 cars from the road.
