Mueon Raises $65M Series A to Push 3D Modular AI Compute

Portland – October 15, 2026 -- Mueon Corporation has raised $65 million in a Series A round led by Maverick Silicon, lifting its total capital raised to more than $80 million as it moves its CubeletsTM modular compute architecture toward production readiness.

Intel Capital, Geodesic Alliances Fund, Oregon Venture Fund, M-Ventures, Wellington Capital, IQT and Defined also participated. The round follows a $15.5 million seed financing in 2025, when the Portland-based semiconductor systems company emerged from stealth.

Mueon targets up to 10X power and cost efficiency in the same rack footprint

The company says its architecture is designed to scale toward megawatt-class density as demand grows. CubeletsTM are modular, three-dimensional compute-and-memory building blocks. They shorten the physical distance data travels, which cuts the power cost of moving it, and avoid the sprawl of a traditional server rack.

Helsinki – October 15, 2026 -- Nordea Bank Abp posted a third-quarter return on equity of 15.1% and earnings per share of EUR 0.35, while assets under management rose 13% year on year to a record EUR 509bn. Operating profit fell 4% to EUR 1.5bn.

Total income rises 2% to EUR 3.0bn as fee growth offsets weaker trading

Net fee and commission income increased 9% year on year, driven by a 14% rise in savings income. Net interest income grew 1% both year on year and quarter on quarter, as volume growth was partly offset by lower lending margins.

Net fair value result dropped 19%, which Nordea attributed to extraordinary interest rate volatility late in the quarter. Costs excluding regulatory fees were flat when adjusted for foreign exchange effects, and the cost-to-income ratio, excluding regulatory fees, stood at 45.0%.
