Indianapolis – September 13, 2026 -- Corteva (NYSE: CTVA) and Belgium-based Globachem N.V. have signed a definitive agreement to launch a 50/50 joint venture aimed at developing and delivering new crop protection solutions for farmers in Europe and the Americas, with the deal expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Joint venture will pool late-stage pipeline technology from both parent companies

The independently operated JV will draw on late-pipeline to commercial-stage technology from Corteva and Globachem to develop, register and market new products. Resulting solutions may be commercialized independently by one or both parent companies once ready.

New products targeted for launch in the early 2030s

The venture builds on an existing multi-year partnership between the two companies. New solutions are expected to reach the market in the early 2030s through established commercial channels.

Hyderabad – September 12, 2026 -- Indian deep-tech firm Hylenr Technologies has detected signatures of 32 elements, including rare-earth species and actinides, forming inside engineered hydrogen-loaded nickel-palladium lattice structures, opening a potential alternative pathway to mining for strategic-material production.

Two years of analysis reveal 32 elemental signatures across light, heavy and noble-gas categories

Over approximately two years of post-operation material analysis, Hylenr Technologies identified signatures corresponding to 32 elements compared against pre-operation baseline samples of the same catalyst material used as a control. The detections span light and heavy elements, noble gases including helium, neon and argon, strategically important rare-earth species such as yttrium, and actinides including uranium.

Cambridge, Mass. – September 12, 2026 -- MIT Technology Review has released its 2026 list of 35 Innovators Under 35, selecting the honorees from 550 nominations reviewed by a panel of 44 expert judges over several months.

Selection process spans AI, climate, biotech and computing fields

The annual list, now in its third decade, identifies young scientists, entrepreneurs, and engineers building technology across artificial intelligence, climate change, biotechnology, computing, and robotics. This year's cohort includes a researcher developing methods to help prevent age-related vision loss, a founder building more efficient chips for data center energy recycling, and an entrepreneur training AI agents to better understand real-world context for decision-making.

Berlin – September 10, 2026 -- Morpho, a UV printing technology company, unveiled its first UV desktop printer at IFA 2026 in Hall 17-196, following a Kickstarter campaign that surpassed $10 million from more than 2,800 backers worldwide.

Morpho's UV printer applies industrial-grade color and texture to wood, glass, leather and metal

The device is G7 Master ColorSpace certified, a standard Morpho says ensures consistent color reproduction across different materials. Its industrial-grade print head layers fine ink deposits to create tactile, relief-style surfaces while operating at carriage speeds of up to 600 mm/s.

Silicon Valley – September 11, 2026 -- Meshy, the AI 3D generation company, has appointed Dr. Xin Tong, a 25-year veteran of Microsoft Research Asia, as Chief Scientist to lead its shift from single 3D asset generation toward full interactive world models.

Berlin – September 11, 2026 -- BOE Technology opened its first overseas Innovation Partner Conference (IPC) in Berlin on September 7, 2026, running alongside the IFA 2026 electronics show, with more than 200 global display and IoT partners invited to attend.

BOE stages its first international IPC forum to court European and global partners

The event, themed around innovation, globalization and collaboration, marked the first time BOE has hosted its Innovation Partner Conference outside China. The company built a technology showcase around a concept it calls "LIGHT" -- an acronym covering low power consumption, innovative technology, global service, high performance and superior quality -- to demonstrate scenario-based solutions tailored to the European market.

Berlin – September 11, 2026 -- BOE Technology Group opened its first international Innovation Partner Conference (IPC) outside China on September 7, 2026, in Berlin, drawing more than 200 partners to coincide with IFA 2026 under the theme "Innovation, Globalization, Collaboration."

BOE Stages First Overseas IPC Forum Alongside IFA Berlin

The BOE IPC Europe 2026 marked the first time the company's global ecosystem event for display and IoT partners was held abroad. The gathering brought together partners from across Europe and beyond to discuss display-industry trends and collaboration opportunities.

Beijing – – September 11, 2026 -- WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WiMi) has developed a multi-dimensional data pooling technique built on Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQA) that compresses complex datasets while retaining local feature detail, a persistent bottleneck in classical machine learning pipelines.

WiMi combines Quantum Haar Transform with partial measurement to eliminate flattening losses

The scheme merges a Quantum Haar Transform (QHT) with quantum partial measurement to build what the company calls a quantum pooling mechanism. Unlike classical pooling, which compresses data by discarding information through flattening, WiMi's method operates directly on multi-dimensional data in quantum state space, avoiding the need to reduce inputs to one-dimensional form before processing.

Amsterdam – September 11, 2026 -- DJI will stage the international premiere of its SDR Transmission 2 wireless video system at IBC 2026, running September 11-14 at RAI Amsterdam, booth 12.G75.

SDR Transmission 2 targets multi-camera production teams with switchable transceiver design

The new wireless video transmission system features a design that can switch between transmitter and receiver roles, a feature DJI says suits small to mid-sized film and video teams producing commercials, documentaries, short films, feature films or livestreams with multiple cameras. DJI states the system delivers improved stability, interference resistance and signal penetration over its earlier SDR technology. Full specifications will follow the product launch on September 17.

Raamsdonksveer, Netherlands – September 09, 2026 -- Dutch company PAL-V has obtained European Production Organisation Approval (POA), becoming the first company in the FlyDrive segment of Advanced Air Mobility to hold both automotive and aviation production approvals for industrial-scale manufacturing.

PAL-V now holds dual approval to manufacture aviation products under EASA regulations

The POA authorizes PAL-V to build airworthy products under EASA rules, following a "No Technical Objection" issued by EASA in 2025. The company states its production system now meets EASA's stringent requirements for airworthy manufacturing, a milestone it describes as the result of nearly two decades of certification and regulatory development.
