Partnership Announcement

SAN FRANCISCO – October 29, 2026 -- Corgi Insurance has secured a three-year deal to insure the United Premier Soccer League (UPSL), covering more than 900 Member Clubs and approximately 37,000 registered players, coaches and officials nationwide.

Golden by Corgi becomes UPSL's official insurance and protection partner from September 30, 2026

Corgi, an AI-native insurance carrier and financial infrastructure company, is delivering the coverage through its Golden program. Coverage applies across all UPSL-sanctioned competitions, including the league's men's, women's and youth divisions.

Golden issues, administers and services coverage for national governing bodies, leagues, teams and events under one roof. Corgi says this integrated model simplifies how organizations obtain coverage, manage risk and handle claims.

Munich/Tokyo – October 29, 2026 -- Proxima Fusion and Japan's Fujikura signed a memorandum of understanding to explore industrial-scale production of high-temperature superconductor (HTS) tape in Germany, anchored by planned demand of 60,000 kilometers from Proxima's own fusion projects. The MoU was signed in Tokyo in the presence of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.

The production site is planned for Lower Saxony. The plant is meant to close a central gap in Europe's fusion supply chain, since HTS tape is currently made mostly outside Europe.

Florham Park – October 29, 2026 -- The New York Jets have signed a multi-year agreement with Xerox to deploy document management, printing infrastructure and internal workflow technology across the team's training facility and front office.

Xerox embeds its technology in Jets football and business operations

Xerox solutions are being implemented throughout the organization, covering document management, printing infrastructure and internal workflows. The company will work with the Jets' IT team to show how its tools can raise productivity and streamline workflows in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment. A custom content feature will highlight how the solutions are applied in professional sports.

Xerox Chief Marketing Officer Darren Cassidy said integrating document management and workflow automation across the training facility and front office helps the organization "eliminate friction and focus on winning."

New York – October 29, 2026 -- The Farmer's Dog has become the official pet food partner of five college athletic departments for the next three years, building the deals around their live dog mascots. The schools are Georgia, Tennessee, UConn, Tulsa and Washington.

The release did not state financial terms. The partnership extends college sports' name, image and likeness (NIL) era to the mascots: Uga of Georgia, Smokey of Tennessee, Jonathan of UConn, Goldie of Tulsa and Dubs of Washington. The company will supply the dogs with human-grade meals and treats.

Learfield brokers a multi-school package with Altius advising

Learfield assembled the multi-school deal, and Altius Sports Partners is advising The Farmer's Dog on its collegiate strategy. Shawn Hegan, Learfield's Executive Vice President of Global Partnerships, said the pairing "just makes sense" given the fandom already built around each mascot.

SAN JOSE – October 29, 2026 -- Tensor Auto Inc. and Münchner Taxi Zentrum (MTZ), Munich's largest taxi operator, have signed a letter of intent to deploy up to 500 Tensor Robocars as autonomous taxis in German cities, with a further 10,000 vehicles targeted across Europe.

The initial fleet depends on definitive agreements and Level 4 regulatory approval in Germany. MTZ will operate the vehicles under its own brand.

Operators keep the customer and data while Tensor sells the vehicle and a subscription

Tensor sells the Robocar and charges a recurring fee for Autonomous Driving as a Service (ADaaS). The subscription covers autonomous driving software, fleet-management tools, ongoing service and training. MTZ, not Tensor, operates the vehicles, and the Robocar integrates with MTZ's existing dispatch systems, so riders book as they do today.

Toronto – October 29, 2026 -- Rodan Energy Solutions Inc. will develop, own and operate a 50 megawatt-hour (MWh) behind-the-meter battery energy storage system (BESS) at St. Marys Cement's Bowmanville, Ontario plant, which will be Canada's largest installation of its kind to date. The long-term agreement with St. Marys Cement Inc. (Canada), a subsidiary of Votorantim Cimentos North America (VCNA), requires no upfront capital from the cement producer.

Rodan carries development capital and operational risk under the Bowmanville deal

Rodan assumes the development capital and the operational risk. St. Marys Cement receives a fully managed energy solution over the life of the asset. Rodan will run the system through its proprietary FlexOps platform, targeting grid flexibility resources and energy cost savings.

Global – October 28, 2026 -- Snowflake and Oracle plan to offer Snowflake's AI Data Cloud as a native, first-party service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), with customers buying and being billed directly through Oracle. The companies describe the offering as planned, not committed, and no launch date has been given.

Snowflake on OCI would bring AI, analytics, data engineering, transactions, applications and collaboration workloads closer to enterprise data held in Oracle databases, Oracle applications and OCI services.

Oracle would sell and bill Snowflake directly through OCI

Customers would contract with Oracle, be billed through OCI and could pay with Oracle Universal Credits. Accounts would be provisioned through the OCI control plane. Customers would then manage warehouses, databases, data pipelines and access controls with standard Snowflake tools.
