Dubai – – September 19, 2026 -- OpenClips has launched a platform that turns a single product page link into a finished, production-ready video advertisement, aggregating more than 45 video and image generation models into a single interface.

Platform Skips the Prompt Stage That Consumes Campaign Time

Most AI video tools open with an empty prompt field, forcing users to write scripts and plan shots before any rendering begins. OpenClips instead reads the product page directly, pulling imagery, features and positioning to build a scene-by-scene storyboard automatically.

"Right now there is no faster way to get a production-ready ad out of a product page," said Dan Petkovic, CEO of OpenClips. "Every other tool hands you an empty prompt box and calls it creative freedom. You should be able to paste a link and get back something you can actually run."

Riyadh – September 19, 2026 -- MemryX and Lenovo have signed a memorandum of understanding to expand sovereign edge AI deployments across Saudi Arabia, building on joint platforms already running in the Kingdom's infrastructure and industrial sectors.

Joint hardware platform already processes data at construction and port sites

The collaboration pairs the Lenovo ThinkEdge SE455 V3 rugged edge server with the MemryX Cascade 100P AI accelerator to process video and sensor data on site, reducing latency and dependence on centralized, power-intensive data-center infrastructure. One live deployment runs real-time construction safety analytics, including personal protective equipment compliance and site safety event detection. A second deployment operates inside a port environment, running compliance and monitoring workloads across the operator's existing camera infrastructure without disrupting operations.

Santa Ana, Calif. – September 19, 2026 -- Identiv, Inc. has closed the sale of its legacy IoT business assets and Identiv brand name to Trackonomy Systems, Inc., completing a transaction that triggers the company's rename to INVE Technologies, Inc. Shares continue trading on Nasdaq under the ticker "INVE."

Company receives $50 million in Trackonomy preferred equity

Upon closing, INVE Technologies received $50 million in Trackonomy preferred equity, subject to post-closing adjustment. The two companies are working toward a definitive strategic partnership agreement to collaborate on software opportunities built on Trackonomy's physical AI platform, though terms remain unfinalized.

New Smyrna Beach, Fla. – September 19, 2026 -- Florida gubernatorial candidate Frank J. Russo has called on Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg to personally commit $250 million and help raise an additional $1 billion from Florida billionaires to modernize the state's data center infrastructure.

The challenge expands Russo's Florida Data Center Community Responsibility Act, proposing a voluntary Florida Data Center Modernization Fund structured as a public trust independent of government control. Russo cited Zuckerberg's reported $170 million South Florida home purchase as justification for the ask, framing it as a matter of civic responsibility tied to residency.

Palo Alto – September 19, 2026 -- Delos Data has raised more than $100 million from Matrix, Playground, Socratic Partners, Capricorn's Technology Impact Fund, Matter Venture Partners and IAG to fund its Delos Nonstop AI infrastructure line, the company said, alongside the launch of two new products aimed at agentic AI workloads.

Delos Data adds Data Interface and Reference Architecture to close out its AI infrastructure stack

The company expanded its Delos Nonstop AI portfolio with the Delos Nonstop AI Data Interface and Delos Nonstop AI Reference Architecture, joining previously announced Nonstop AI Clusters and Nonstop AI Server. The additions target low-latency, high-bandwidth, resilient infrastructure for agentic AI systems that run continuously rather than in discrete batches.

New York – September 18, 2026 -- Qloo has secured a spot in the top-tier "Set Diamonds (Front Runners)" category of a Gartner report on synthetic population and behavioral simulation, ranking as one of just two companies in the upper-right segment among 33 vendors profiled.

Gartner report singles out Qloo among 33 profiled AI vendors

The recognition comes from Gartner's "Emerging Tech: AI Vendor Race: Startups to Watch in Synthetic Population and Behavioral Simulation" report, authored by analyst Vibha Chitkara. Qloo's placement in the highest-maturity category distinguishes it from the broader field of startups tracked in the space.

Longmont, Colo. – September 18, 2026 -- Stored Energy Systems (SENS) says its PowerCab2 platform can save data center operators an estimated $20 million to $80 million on a typical 1 gigawatt campus by eliminating dedicated battery rooms and consolidating hundreds of discrete DC power components into a single factory-tested system.

PowerCab2 removes over 300 square feet of battery-room space per structure

The integrated platform typically eliminates more than 300 square feet of dedicated battery-room space from a power distribution center (PDC) or E-house. At an estimated installed cost of $850 per square foot, SENS calculates capital savings of roughly $255,000 per structure.

Southampton, England – September 18, 2026 -- Nearly 40% of data centre professionals in Europe and the US plan to change jobs within the next 12 months, despite most having received a pay rise in the past year, according to DataX Connect's 2026 Data Centre Salary Survey of more than 1,700 professionals across the UK, Europe and the United States.

Rock Hill, N.Y. – September 18, 2026 -- An independent inventor has deployed a verified smart contract on the Base blockchain that binds AI agents to a written constitution, with every governance action timestamped and publicly auditable. On September 8, Jánelle Marina Méndez Viera executed three linked transactions in 35 minutes: deploying an enforcement contract called the Guardian, anchoring a sealed founding proceeding to it, and adopting a constitution whose cryptographic fingerprint is now permanently recorded on-chain.
