CHANGZHOU, China, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Segway Powersports hosted 14 media representatives and creators from Canada, Chile, Peru, Panama, Brazil and Argentina from September 14–19 for the SEGWAY POWERSPORTS CHINA TOUR-2026 LATAM & CANADA EDITION, an immersive program connecting behind-the-scenes manufacturing insights with a full-lineup off-road riding experience. 

The program began at Segway Powersports’ manufacturing facility in Changzhou, China, where participants explored production, assembly, vehicle testing and final inspection. The visit offered a closer look at the manufacturing processes, quality controls and traceability practices behind Segway Powersports vehicles. 

The experience then moved to Keping County in Aksu, Xinjiang, where participants took the full Segway Powersports lineup across desert terrain, gravel sections and water crossings. Driving multiple models in varied conditions allowed them to experience power delivery, handling, terrain capability and comfort firsthand—connecting what they had seen on the production line with how the vehicles perform in real-world environments. 

Beyond the factory and riding experience, the program created a two-way exchange between Segway Powersports and its international guests. Participants shared perspectives on local riding environments, user expectations and product needs directly with the brand’s marketing, product, R&D and after-sales teams, bringing insights from six markets into the discussion. 

“Seeing how a vehicle is built is one thing; experiencing it in real terrain is another,” said Ethan Zhang, Vice President of Marketing & Sales at Segway Powersports. “By bringing these experiences together, we want media and creators to understand our products more completely. At the same time, their local perspectives help us better understand what riders in different markets really need.” 

Segway Powersports plans to extend similar programs to more markets, strengthening relationships with media and creators while bringing real-world perspectives into ongoing product and service development.

LONDON, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A growing AI skills divide is creating a diverging workforce, with the majority of workers at risk of being left behind as access to learning and development falls – even as AI use and the pace of workplace change accelerate. 

PwC’s 2026 Global Workforce Hopes and Fears Survey, which interviewed nearly 50,000 workers across 48 countries and regions, finds diverging optimism in the growth trajectories and experiences of employees – as workers face rapid change, rising workloads and greater cost-of-living pressures. 

Just 51% say they have access to the learning and development resources they need, down from 59% last year. 

The divide is particularly stark among the 56% of ‘engine room’ workers whose skills are less scarce and who are not far along the AI learning curve: only two in five of those workers say they have access to the learning and development resources they need. 

Meanwhile, workers who use AI daily are more confident in their job security, more likely to trust management and more confident about their ability to learn new skills. 

Pete Brown, Global Workforce Leader, PwC, said: 

“Workers are under growing pressure from rising workloads, rapid change and external uncertainty. But those using AI every day are more confident, more ambitious and more positive about their careers and prospects. The challenge for leaders is to keep developing those people – but not at the expense of the rest of the workforce.” 

AI adoption continues to rise but workers face growing pressures 

Workers are feeling significant pressure. Only a third report having money left at the end of the month, down 8% year on year. 

At the same time, almost a third (29%) say they have significantly less bargaining power than three years ago, more than double the number who disagreed. For fully remote workers, the proportion is 10 points higher. 

When considering the biggest risks to job security, more workers cite economic volatility (57%) than AI taking on more tasks (44%) – with Gen Z more anxious across all these metrics. 

Three-fifths (58%) of those who have experienced change in the workplace feel there has been more change in the last year than in previous years. Almost one-third (27%) say that feeling fatigued or burned out limits their productivity. 

The vast majority of workers say they have also had to apply new skills in their job over the past year, with two-fifths (40%) saying this was to a large or very large extent. 

Change is happening faster at leadership levels. More than half (51%) of senior executives and 46% of managers say they have applied new skills in their roles, relative to 29% of non-managers and 38% of entry-level workers. 

But as workers face mounting pressure – AI adoption continues to rise: nearly two-thirds (64%) of all workers cite using AI at work in the past 12 months – a ten-point increase relative to last year. The proportion using Gen AI daily also increased from 14% to 22%. Roughly three-fifths (59%) of workers expect their use of AI tools in their job to increase over the next 12 months. This group reports that the use of AI makes them feel energised and empowered rather than tired and powerless, by margins of around 5:1. 

Daily AI users in the workforce are also more optimistic: 68% report confidence in their job security compared to 57% for infrequent users. They are also more likely to ask for a promotion (+12 percentage points), trust top management (+15) and be confident they can learn new skills (+21). 

The new workforce divide 

While workers are broadly confident (61%) that they can develop skills growth – only half (51%) cite being able to access learning and development resources (down from 59%). To understand this further, the report segments the workforce into four groups: 

The report highlights the need for employers to pay particular attention to the ‘engine room’ group. This group is less likely to be rewarded for using AI, learning new skills or challenging existing ways of working – yet they are the majority of the workforce, responsible for most of the day-to-day work within an organisation. 

Meanwhile the ‘front-runners’ are seeing strong benefits from their position. They are most likely to over-index on being rewarded for challenging existing ways of working (1.5x global average) and learning new skills (1.2x global average). This group is also +33 points more likely to ask for a promotion. 

In a challenge to employers seeking to retain their most valuable workers, almost a third (29%) of this group say they are very or extremely likely to change employer in the next year. 

Pete Brown, Global Workforce Leader, PwC, concluded: 

“There is a real risk that the global workforce is starting to move at different speeds. More than half of workers are not yet benefiting from AI and skills in the same way, while those with scarce skills and strong AI capabilities are becoming more confident and more mobile. Leaders need to think hard about where they invest in skills, how they give people the opportunity to adapt, and how they hold on to the capabilities they most need.”

ST. HELIER, Jersey and LONDON, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Petrus Legal Strategies (Jersey) Limited, Petrus Advisers Limited and funds advised by Petrus Advisers Limited (together, “Petrus”), which together hold approximately 3.8% of Iveco Group N.V. (“Iveco”) common shares, today published a communication setting out its views of Tata Motors’s proposed all-cash voluntary tender offer for Iveco at €14.10 per share. The presentation is available at www.petrusadvisers.com/Iveco. 

“We have today published our view of the €14.10 offer: it sets out why that offer does not represent fair value for Iveco’s shareholders. 

“First, the offer significantly undervalues Iveco relative to its peers. Second, Iveco’s shareholders do not receive an appropriate share of the synergy value this transaction creates: value Tata Motors has itself described to its own investors as substantial. Third, shareholders should be compensated for the 15-month period between the announcement of the transaction and its expected closing. 

“Our ask is a simple one: fair value for all of Iveco’s shareholders.”

SINGAPORE, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In response to rising demand for AI and high-performance computing, Castrol today launched Castrol CORE, a new end-to-end offer for its data centre thermal management business. The offer is designed to help customers manage increasingly complex cooling requirements from early-stage design through to daily operations. 

Castrol CORE marks a shift from Castrol’s existing product-led cooling business towards an integrated, service-led approach that brings together a network of product, infrastructure, design and service partners, giving customers a single point of contact across the value chain rather than having to coordinate with multiple suppliers.  

Under Castrol CORE, Castrol will work with customers earlier in the development of data centre infrastructure, adding new capabilities in design to its existing support for deployment, start-up, operation and maintenance. The move is based on Castrol’s industry research which found growing demand for integrated thermal management solutions that reduce the complexity of working with multiple technologies and suppliers. The research also highlighted supply chain challenges and the high cost of failure as significant concerns for the industry. 

Central to the offer are Castrol’s cooling technologies, which have been tested and validated with leading chip and hardware manufacturers including NVIDIA and Intel. This gives customers confidence that the technology can keep pace with next-generation AI infrastructure. The offer is backed by Castrol’s global technology and testing facilities – including labs in the UK, US, Germany and China, alongside joint laboratories across Asia and a network of service providers across more than 150 countries. The network enables continued on-ground testing, validation and monitoring throughout a facility’s lifetime, and helping customers reduce the risk of costly downtime. 

Peter Huang, Global President of Data Centre and Thermal Management at Castrol, said: “Customers are telling us they do not simply want another standalone product. They want experienced partners that can help them solve the complete thermal management challenge. We are bringing together proven technology, global reach and, critically, design expertise so we can work with customers at every stage of a project, giving them the peace of mind to focus on what’s next.” 

In Asia Pacific, Castrol has built a regional data centre design team supported by local specialists, reflecting the pace at which the region is adopting new cooling infrastructure. This approach is already being tested in practice: Castrol has completed a proof-of-concept programme with a leading data centre operator in China and is now working with global operators on additional proof-of-concept projects. 

Backed by more than 127 years of experience formulating fluids for mission-critical applications, Castrol CORE will initially focus on data centre cooling systems, while providing a platform for Castrol’s thermal management offer to expand into other applications over time. 

About Castrol 

Castrol, one of the world’s leading lubricant brands, has a proud heritage of innovation and fuelling the dreams of pioneers. Our passion for performance, combined with a philosophy of working in partnership, has enabled Castrol to develop lubricants and greases that have been at the heart of numerous technological feats on land, air, sea, and space for over 127 years. Castrol serves customers and consumers in the automotive, marine, industrial and energy sectors.

Astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen honoured for inspiring millions through their outstanding communication of the science, technology and human adventure of Artemis II 

On October 17th, The Artemis II crew will receive the Stephen Hawking Medal for Science Communication at STARMUS VIII in Tenerife, recognising their exceptional work in inspiring millions around the world through interviews, social media, educational outreach and direct engagement with the public. 

CANARY ISLANDS, Spain, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — STARMUS today announces that the four members of the Artemis II crew — Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Koch and Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen — have been selected to receive the Stephen Hawking Medal for Science Communication. 

Before, during and after Artemis II, the four astronauts became powerful ambassadors for science and space exploration. Through interviews, social media, live communications, educational initiatives and public appearances, they brought the science and technology behind an extraordinarily complex mission closer to millions of people around the world. 

Their communication went far beyond explaining the technical milestones of Artemis II. They shared the human experience of science and exploration — the preparation, challenges, risks, teamwork, international cooperation and sense of discovery behind a mission that opened a new chapter in humanity’s exploration of the Moon. 

In doing so, they helped audiences understand not only what Artemis II was doing, but why it mattered. 

Most importantly, they inspired people — particularly younger generations — to engage with science, engineering, technology and space exploration, demonstrating the extraordinary power of communication to turn a scientific mission into a shared human experience. 

The Stephen Hawking Medal for Science Communication 

The Stephen Hawking Medal for Science Communication was launched in 2016 by Stephen Hawking and STARMUS to recognise those who make an exceptional contribution to bringing science, exploration and the wonder of the Universe closer to society. 

The Artemis II crew joins an exceptional group of 2026 Stephen Hawking Medal recipients. This year, STARMUS has also announced legendary filmmaker Sir Ridley Scott. 

The 2026 awards have particular significance as STARMUS celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Stephen Hawking Medal. 

Previous recipients include some of the world’s most influential figures in science, exploration and culture, among them Buzz Aldrin, Jane Goodall, David Attenborough, Christopher Nolan, Hans Zimmer, Elon Musk, Brian Eno and Neil deGrasse Tyson. 

From Apollo to Artemis 

The recognition of the Artemis II crew continues a remarkable connection between STARMUS and human space exploration that began with the very first festival 15 years ago. 

Over the years, nine Apollo astronauts have taken part in STARMUS, including Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Apollo 8 astronauts Bill Anders and Jim Lovell, alongside legendary cosmonaut Alexei Leonov. They came to STARMUS not simply as pioneers of exploration, but to share their experiences, discoveries and vision directly with the public. Aldrin and Leonov returned to STARMUS several times in the years that followed. 

Leonov held a particularly special place in the STARMUS family. In 1965, he became the first human being to walk in space, opening an entirely new chapter in human space exploration. 

Fifteen years after STARMUS first brought together some of the pioneers of the Apollo era and the first spacewalk, the festival now welcomes the generation carrying human exploration back towards the Moon. 

With Artemis II, that story enters a new generation. 

A Medal that brings together science, space, art and music 

The Stephen Hawking Medal itself embodies the philosophy of STARMUS. 

Its design brings together some of the people and ideas at the heart of the festival: Stephen Hawking, Alexei Leonov and Brian May. It incorporates Leonov’s artistic depiction of Stephen Hawking and imagery connected with Brian May’s legendary Red Special guitar, bringing together science, human space exploration, art and music in a single object. 

The presence of Leonov in the Medal’s design has a particularly powerful meaning. The man who became the first person to walk in space also used his talent as an artist to portray Stephen Hawking — and that image became part of a Medal devoted to communicating science to humanity. 

The result is more than an award. It is a symbol of the idea on which STARMUS was founded: that science should not remain within laboratories, universities or spacecraft. It should be communicated, shared and made part of human culture. 

That same philosophy now connects the pioneers of Apollo and Leonov’s generation with the astronauts of Artemis II. 

“They brought millions of people with them” 

Prof. Garik Israelian, astrophysicist and Co-Founder of STARMUS, said: 

“Artemis II was an extraordinary scientific and technological mission, but this Medal recognises something different: the crew’s exceptional ability to communicate that adventure and inspire millions. They did not simply travel around the Moon — they brought millions of people with them. That is exactly the spirit of the Stephen Hawking Medal.” 

Sir Brian May, astrophysicist, musician and Co-Founder of STARMUS, said, “It’s a special thrill for us at Starmus to be able to honor the intrepid Artemis II crew members in the same in the same way that we honored the Apollo astronauts who paved the way to the Moon over 50 years ago.” 

Four astronauts, four voices 

Each member of the Artemis II crew brought a distinctive voice to communicating the mission. 

Reid Wiseman, Commander of Artemis II, communicated the mission with clarity, authenticity and a strong sense of purpose, helping audiences understand not only what the crew was doing, but why humanity continues to explore. 

Victor Glover, pilot, brought a deeply human dimension to the story of Artemis II, connecting the science and technology of the mission with teamwork, trust, curiosity and courage, and communicating directly with audiences in an accessible and engaging way. 

Christina Koch, mission specialist, is an engineer, scientist and astronaut, helped communicate both the scientific significance and the human experience of deep-space exploration, bringing audiences closer to the realities and possibilities of humanity’s return to the Moon. 

Jeremy Hansen, mission specialist, communicated Artemis II with clarity, humility and enthusiasm, bringing an international perspective to the mission and highlighting how science and exploration can unite people and nations around common goals. 

Together, the four astronauts gave Artemis II a powerful human voice and helped make one of the most complex scientific and technological endeavors of our time accessible to a global audience. 

OMEGA and the Stephen Hawking Medal 

OMEGA has been a long-standing collaborator of STARMUS and the Stephen Hawking Medal for Science Communication, sharing a unique connection with the history of human space exploration. 

The OMEGA Speedmaster was officially qualified by NASA for crewed space missions in 1965 and went on to become inseparable from the history of lunar exploration and the Apollo programme. 

As part of its collaboration with STARMUS, the company has created an inscribed special OMEGA Speedmaster referring to the Stephen Hawking Medal recognition of the crew of Artemis II. This further highlights the symbolic connection between the pioneers of the Apollo era, the legacy of Stephen Hawking and a new generation of explorers and science communicators. 

For the Artemis II crew, that connection carries a particularly special meaning. The Stephen Hawking Medal and the OMEGA Speedmaster bring together two extraordinary legacies associated with humanity’s exploration of space — one celebrating the power to communicate science, and the other carrying a history intimately connected with humanity’s journeys beyond Earth. 

The Medal Ceremony at STARMUS VIII 

The Stephen Hawking Medal for Science Communication will be presented during the opening of STARMUS VIII — The Search for Truth on 17 October 2026 in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands. 

The ceremony will bring together leading scientists, astronauts, Nobel laureates, artists and cultural figures from around the world, followed by a spectacular concert featuring Andrea Bocelli, Sarah Brightman and Brian May, performing with the Las Palmas Symphony Orchestra and an international house band. 

The evening will also feature special guest appearances by legendary keyboardist Rick Wakeman and violinist Rusanda Panfili, bringing together science, space exploration and music in the tradition that has defined STARMUS since its creation. 

STARMUS VIII will take place in Tenerife and La Palma from 17–22 October 2026 under the theme The Search for Truth, bringing together some of the world’s leading figures in science, space exploration, technology, music and the arts to explore the importance of evidence, knowledge, reason and scientific thinking in an increasingly complex world.

Leopolda 2026 a Firenze, Matteo Renzi inizia la kermesse da lui ideata e fondata con il sindaco di Salerno Vincenzo De Luca.

Il senatore toscano leader di Italia Viva, ex premier, ex sindaco di Firenze, venerdì 2 ottobre apre Leopolda 2026 ‘Riprenderci Itaca’ con Vincenzo De Luca, Pd, ex presidente Regione Campania.

Molti i primi ospiti resi noti. Tra loro il giornalista e scrittore Mario Calabresi, che nei giorni scorsi ha annunciato la sua disponibilità a candidarsi sindaco di Milano per il centrosinistra.

Attesi, tra gli altri, Francesca Nanni, procuratrice generale presso la Corte d’Appello di Milano, e l’architetto Massimiliano Fuksas.

Renzi su Vincenzo De Luca: “Ho detto che ci salveranno i sindaci ed è anche per questo che in questa edizione saranno tantissimi gli amministratori presenti. Apriremo con uno di loro che si confronterà con i ragazzi della scuola di formazione Meritare l’Europa. E’ un sindaco sanguigno, esperto, molto capace e può dare molto ai più giovani ma anche in generale al centrosinistra.
Si parte dunque venerdì alle 18 e l’aperitivo sarà con il Kraken e lo Sceriffo“.

Un Renzi reduce dagli applausi del popolo Pd alle Feste dell’Unità.

Renzi nella sua enews di lunedì 28 settembre: “Il palco sarà a forma di barca per ricordare Itaca e il viaggio di Ulisse. Sulle pagine di Italia Viva e Meritare l’Europa trovate i primi nomi di alcuni degli ospiti di quest’anno, molto diversi l’uno dall’altro: ci saranno politici che si candidano alle primarie (a tutte le primarie, da Milano alla Sicilia) e ci saranno innovatori, startupper, archistar, professori, esperti di intelligenza artificiale. Parleremo molto di garantismo, perché senza garantismo non c’è giustizia. E senza garantismo non c’è centrosinistra. E lo faremo ascoltando le storie di straordinari magistrati, di bravi avvocati, di cittadini innocenti finiti nel tritacarne del giustizialismo.

Racconteremo le proposte per il semestre di presidenza italiana in Europa, chiuderemo la fase 1 delle ‘Primarie delle idee’ e coinvolgeremo i 600 ragazzi di Meritare l’Europa oltre a tanti amministratori”.

Quindi: “Entrando alla Leopolda ci sarà il Tajanometro per misurare la lunghezza di chi arriverà in gonna e ci sarà la prima Leopolda’s Cup di biliardino.

BERLIN, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At IFA 2026 in Berlin, visitors encountered the usual showcase of processors, displays, connected devices and technical specifications. But at the Metapen booth, the emphasis was less on watching technology and more on using it. 

The approach reflects a broader change in consumer electronics. As products become more sophisticated, specifications alone do not always communicate their value. For many consumers, the first few seconds of using a product can be more revealing than a presentation. 

A stylus is a good example. Its physical form is familiar, but its applications extend beyond traditional writing. Children can draw and explore digital creativity; students can take notes and annotate documents; professionals can sketch ideas, sign documents or work directly on a tablet. 

At Metapen’s IFA booth, one young visitor provided a simple illustration. A girl picked up a stylus and began interacting with the screen while her family watched nearby. There was no complicated explanation required. She simply started creating. 

That interaction highlights an important principle in product design: technology does not always need to demand attention. When a stylus responds naturally, users can focus on what they want to write, draw or create rather than on how technology works. 

Metapen has built its business around the stylus category, developing products for devices including iPad, Surface and Chromebook. Its lineup covers everyday digital writing as well as pressure-sensitive applications for drawing and creative work. The company focuses on making digital writing and creation more accessible through functionality, design and affordability. 

This positioning reflects how the stylus market is evolving. Rather than treating a pen simply as an accessory to a tablet, Metapen presents it as part of the user experience—the point where hardware, software and human creativity meet. 

The opportunity goes beyond the stylus. As digital learning, work and creative activities become part of everyday life, products that make technology feel more natural can play an increasingly important role. 

IFA remains a place for companies to demonstrate technical innovation. But moments like the one at Metapen’s booth suggest another way of evaluating technology: not only by what is inside a product, but by what happens when someone picks it up for the first time. 

Sometimes, the most convincing product demonstration is simply watching someone use it—and enjoy the experience.

La circolazione sulla linea ferroviaria Firenze-Pisa subirà un blocco totale nel tratto compreso tra le stazioni di Empoli e Pisa per tre giorni, dal 9 all’11 ottobre. Lo stop è causato da un piano di manutenzione programmata gestito da Rete Ferroviaria Italiana, con cantieri che comporteranno modifiche alla viabilità anche nelle giornate dell’8 e del 12 ottobre.

I lavori si concentreranno sulle opere propedeutiche all’eliminazione del passaggio a livello di Putignano, nel territorio comunale pisano, a cui si aggiungono la manutenzione straordinaria del ponte metallico sul fiume Era e interventi sui deviatoi di Pontedera.

Queste operazioni avranno un impatto diretto sia sul trasporto regionale che sull’Alta Velocità. I treni gestiti da Trenitalia sulle direttrici Firenze-La Spezia, Firenze-Livorno-Grosseto e Firenze-Campiglia/Piombino andranno incontro a variazioni di orario, partenze anticipate e cancellazioni totali o parziali. Per tentare di arginare i disagi, l’offerta commerciale verrà integrata con convogli straordinari tra Firenze e Pisa fatti transitare via Prato, Pistoia e Lucca. Per quanto riguarda l’Alta Velocità, i treni Frecciarossa e Frecciargento della tratta Roma-Genova subiranno modifiche, con possibili deviazioni via Civitavecchia, la soppressione della fermata di Roma Tiburtina, partenze anticipate e un aumento generale dei tempi di percorrenza.

Il piano per limitare le ricadute sui passeggeri e l’organizzazione dei servizi sostitutivi sono stati esaminati durante un tavolo istituzionale. L’incontro ha riunito l’assessore regionale ai trasporti Filippo Boni, i sindaci dei comuni coinvolti, le associazioni dei pendolari, Rfi e Trenitalia, inserendosi in un più ampio percorso di monitoraggio voluto dalla Regione Toscana.

Boni ha inquadrato l’intervento tecnico come “un’interruzione improcrastinabile”, pur riconoscendone il forte impatto su una linea ritenuta strategica per lavoratori, studenti e per la connessione tra i principali aeroporti toscani. “Sarà nostra premura seguire con attenzione sia lo svolgimento dei lavori che l’attuazione dei servizi sostitutivi, ma siamo ben consapevoli che il collegamento ferroviario di Firenze e Pisa via Pistoia non sostituisce l’utilizzo della linea Firenze-Pisa”, ha precisato l’assessore.

Il servizio di autobus sostitutivi previsto per le stazioni tagliate fuori dalla viabilità su ferro non sarà in grado di coprire per intero l’effettiva domanda dei pendolari, vista l’impossibilità logistica di programmare un numero adeguato di mezzi stradali. Da qui l’appello diretto di Boni all’utenza: “Invito dunque i cittadini a prestare molta attenzione ed informarsi con cura, per scegliere soluzioni alternative per raggiungere la città di destinazione o stazioni da cui il servizio resta comunque garantito”. Pur a fronte delle evidenti criticità, l’esponente della Giunta ha ribadito la necessità di mantenere vivo il dialogo con le amministrazioni e i comitati per strutturare servizi il più possibile aderenti alle necessità del territorio.

Based on more than 1,000 AI personas, the report finds 84% of wealth management firms acknowledge the need for an operating model reset, but less than 10% are prepared for the shift 

NEW YORK and NOIDA, India, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HCLTech (NSE: HCLTECH) (BSE: HCLTECH), a leading global technology company, today released a first-of-its-kind synthetic research report “Hidden In Pl(AI)n Sight,” based on a survey of 1,066 representative AI personas modeled on senior wealth management industry decision-makers across 17 global markets. 

The research reveals that 84% of global wealth management firms believe their operating models require fundamental redesign to fully realize the promise of AI, highlighting the fact that AI transformation is less about adoption and more about reimagining how businesses operate, compete and grow. It also revealed that while 98% of leadership teams in the industry are actively pursuing an AI agenda, only slightly more than 7% are actively building agentic AI capabilities. 

The research identifies three critical blind spots that prevent wealth management firms from converting AI enthusiasm into measurable business outcomes. 

“The industry doesn’t have an investment problem. It has a choices problem,” said Srinivasan Seshadri, Chief Growth Officer and Global Head of Financial Services, HCLTech. “Nearly every wealth management firm is spending on AI. Far fewer can say which programs they are funding, how far AI actually reaches into the operating model, or whether they’re measuring the outcomes that matter — new client value, growth and revenue models. Our research found that 84% of leaders want a fundamental redesign, yet just 12% are measuring the new revenue that the redesign should produce. That’s the blind spot the winners will close first.” 

This research brings together AI’s scale, speed, and analytical capabilities with deep human expertise at its core. Industry practitioners, researchers, and subject matter experts played an active role throughout the journey, challenging assumptions, enriching context and rigorously validating findings, ensuring the outcomes were both innovative and grounded in real-world industry experience. 

“This study represents a new model for how we generate insights, one where AI gives us scale and speed while human expertise ensures every finding is credible and trustworthy,” said Jill Kouri, Global Chief Marketing Officer, HCLTech. “It’s a demonstration of what’s possible when AI and human expertise work together and exactly the kind of capability we intend to build more in-house.” 

Firms creating lasting competitive advantage will be those that combine AI with their most unique asset: decades of proprietary client knowledge. Executives ranked first-party and behavioral data as a more valuable differentiator than technology infrastructure, cloud platforms or AI partnerships, while nearly 80% believe future industry leaders will be those that best orchestrate AI, human expertise and ecosystem partners. APAC (89%) and North America (84%) show the highest levels of confidence, while Europe lags at 38.3%, underscoring a markedly different pace of readiness and transformation across markets. 

Note to the Editors: Pioneering a New Model of Research with AI 

The report, conducted in partnership with Evidenza, represents one of the wealth management industry’s most comprehensive applications of synthetic research to date. 

The methodology reflects the very approach that HCLTech recommends to its clients: AI at Scale, Human judgment at critical moments. Rather than replacing traditional expertise, AI was used to enhance and scale it, with subject matter experts involved in persona design, research development and validation of findings. 

The result is both a new approach to understanding complex industries and a practical example of responsible AI in action. By bringing together AI-driven analysis and human expertise, the study demonstrates how organizations can scale intelligence while maintaining trust, rigor and transparency. 

The report ultimately suggests that the firms creating lasting competitive advantage will not necessarily be those deploying the most AI, but those that combine AI with their most unique assets: proprietary client knowledge, human expertise and strong ecosystem partnerships.

David Rossi sarebbe stato aggredito in maniera violenta e rapida nel suo ufficio da più persone, almeno due e corpulente, e prima di precipitare dalla finestra era cosciente, quindi ha molto probabilmente cercato di difendersi.

L’ex capo della comunicazione MpS, trovato morto il 6 marzo 2013 precipitato dalla finestra del suo ufficio a Siena,  una volta finito fuori dalla finestra ha tentato di aggrapparsi al bordo.

Rossi era tenuto dagli aggressori forse in un tentativo di intimidazione, ma poi la presa è mancata e Rossi è precipitato.

È quanto emerge da una prima valutazione tecnica dopo le simulazioni a Roma, al Foro Italico, con l’ausilio dei Ris e dei vigili del fuoco, lunedì 28 settembre. Nell’ambito della perizia disposta dalla commissione parlamentare di inchiesta.

Commissione parlamentare d’inchiesta presieduta da Gianluca Vinci, vicepresidenti il deputato toscano Emiliano Fossi e Simonetta Matone.

“Si esclude la decisione e il movimento suicidario”, ha detto il medico Robbi Manghi, a cui sono state affidate le operazioni con il medico Marco Nigrisoli, insieme al tenente colonnello Adolfo Gregori del Ris di Roma e i vigili del fuoco.

Sul posto anche il presidente della commissione parlamentare, Gianluca Vinci.

“C’è stata un’aggressione violenta e difficilmente è stata una persona sola perché David Rossi era cosciente, era un giovane in forma” e una sola persona “difficilmente” sarebbe riuscita ad avere il sopravvento. Quindi gli aggressori erano “almeno due se non tre e soggetti corpulenti”, ha sottolineato Manghi.

È stata ricostruita una finestra nelle stesse dimensioni di quella della sede di Monte dei Paschi di Siena in Rocca Salimbeni a Siena e un atleta dei vigili del fuoco, della stessa corporatura di David Rossi, si è prestato per simulare i movimenti di reazione della vittima.

Sono state create tutte le ipotetiche simulazioni attraverso la dinamica della traumatologia forense: la caduta di Rossi è stata quindi ricostruita con un solo aggressore, con due o con tre, sia in condizioni di coscienza che di incoscienza della vittima.

Marco Nigrisoli, consulente tecnico nominato dalla commissione parlamentare di inchiesta: “La perizia conferma che gran parte delle lesioni di David Rossi sono state procurate da un meccanismo di aggressione che lui ha subito.

Al netto delle lesioni dell’impatto del corpo al suolo, altre sono incompatibili con la precipitazione. Ad esempio la frattura capitello radiale sinistro, emersa da una tac, è compatibile con meccanismo indiretto di leva esercitata da una terza persona che agisce sull’arto superiore sinistro. Dunque tutto è molto compatibile con un fatto aggressivo”.

Robbi Manghi, consulente tecnico nominato dalla commissione: “Quella sera non è successo nulla che Rossi si sia procurato da solo prima della precipitazione, evento procurato da terzi dopo un’aggressione: questo è un dato certo”.

Manghi ha spiegato che Rossi è stato afferrato “da persone con notevole forza delle mani”, lo dimostrano le ferite da “trascinamento e strisciamento”. Inoltre “tutte le lesioni addominali nella parte terza dell’addome sono state create da terzi, da un pugno o una ginocchiata o comunque un colpo assestato. Sono un “segno del forte trauma contusivo” anche le “lesioni a zigomi dovute a percosse”, così come le “le lesioni da trascinamento alla coscia”. Ci sono inoltre “tracce ematiche sulla camicia e macchie di unto tipiche dei pomelli alla base delle finestre, forse dovute ad azioni di trascinamento sulla parte inferiore dell’addome. Non mortali ma compatibili con l’aggressione”.

CINZIA GORLA

Dal centrodestra: “Si parla più di tematiche internazionali che dei bisogni della città”

“Cento giorni di amministrazione Capecchi. Il sindaco e la giunta si sono ritrovati al convento di san Domenico per discutere di tutto ciò che è stato fatto nei primi 100 giorni della nuova amministrazione. Che cosa è venuto fuori? Niente.

Dopo che il sindaco ci ha raccontato quanto è stato bravo in quanto delegato di politiche per la pace a parlare di Palestina, a parlare di gemellaggio con Gerico, dell’adesione alla rete “Ripudia”, anche con la vicepresidente della Regione Toscana Mia Diop, ha poi ospitato il console americano dimenticandosi, però, di riferirgli di essere contrario alle politiche del suo presidente Trump.

Gli assessori ci hanno però dato degli interessanti spunti per il futuro – aggiunge Orlandini in maniera sarcastica, n.d.r – come:

• La ristampa delle avventure di Pinocchio in Somalo;
• Lasciare crescere l’erba alta in alcuni punti così che gli animaletti e gli insettini che ci vivono possono finalmente stare in serenità;
• Trovare una visione, una filosofia di vendita – o svendita – della città ai turisti.
• Prendere scelte politiche serie e che non creino disuguaglianza com’è stata, a detta dell’assessore Trallori, quella di lastricare San Lorenzo. Ci spiegherà poi lui il nesso.

In questi 100 giorni, come in campagna elettorale, si è parlato più di tematiche nazionali, o addirittura internazionali, che della città. Come Gioventù Nazionale chiediamo che si torni a parlare di Pistoia e dei pistoiesi“.

SHANGHAI, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Through an open-source model, a public dataset and benchmark, and the MedVidU Challenge, a global research competition, researchers worldwide now share a common foundation for advancing medical video AI. The Challenge drew 75 teams from 18 countries and regions across five continents, bringing diverse ideas and approaches into an ecosystem shaped by the wider research community. 

Participants represented leading universities, medical institutions, and technology companies, including Harvard Medical School, the University of Oxford, LMU University Hospital, Nanyang Technological University, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, The University of Hong Kong, and NVIDIA. 

Supporting this community-driven momentum is a broader effort by United Imaging Intelligence (UII) to create the shared resources and platforms needed for medical video AI research to advance at scale. 

Building an Open Foundation for Global Collaboration 

Medical video understanding remains one of AI’s most demanding frontiers, requiring precise spatial awareness, complex temporal reasoning, and rigorous clinical accuracy. Progress has often been constrained by limited clinical data and the high cost of expert annotation. 

UII is addressing these barriers through an open framework designed to make research progress measurable and global collaboration more accessible. In April, following the acceptance of its MedGRPO research at CVPR 2026, UII released uAI NEXUS MedVLM and open-sourced 6,245 MedVidBench test samples. These samples are part of a broader research collection of 531,850 video-instruction pairs that UII annotated using eight existing, publicly available medical video datasets. Access to each component is subject to its release terms and the applicable source-data licenses. 

Alongside the model and dataset, UII launched the MedVidBench public leaderboard, which evaluates models across ten metrics, including next-action prediction, skill assessment, and spatiotemporal grounding. Together, these resources gave researchers a common starting point and a consistent way to compare and refine their models. 

To turn this shared foundation into collective progress, UII co-launched the MedVidU Challenge with the University of Strasbourg and the Technical University of Munich in summer 2026. UII also released a second MedVidBench batch of 6,270 test samples. 

Within approximately three months of its latest release, MedVidBench surpassed 30,000 downloads and received citations from researchers around the world, reflecting growing interest from the global research community. 

Uniting Global Expertise to Explore New Frontiers 

According to the latest leaderboard, four teams advanced to the final stage of the Challenge. Two teams were invited to present their findings at the ECCV 2026 MedVidU Workshop, held in Malmö, Sweden in September. 

The Workshop also featured oral presentations of two accepted papers exploring new ways to expand training resources for surgical AI and advance surgical skill assessment. Broader discussions brought together perspectives from biomedical engineering and robotics, highlighting emerging directions in medical video AI. 

Surgical and clinical procedures are routinely recorded, yet much of this video remains underused. Medical video AI could unlock new clinical value, supporting surgical training through structured feedback, assisting with intraoperative safety checks, and streamlining postoperative review and documentation, with potential applications in nursing care and remote mentoring. 

UII is building an open ecosystem of shared resources, transparent evaluation, global competition, and research exchange to help translate advances in medical video AI into clinical practice.

Data Sources:https://huggingface.co/datasets/UII-AI/MedVidBench  

Declaration: The referenced datasets are public, anonymized, appropriately authorized, and fully attributed. Both batches are intended for noncommercial research and evaluation under applicable terms. Batch 2 training data is available only to Challenge participants.

Milano, 29.09.2026 – Dermatiti ricorrenti, otiti che tornano ogni pochi mesi, disturbi intestinali, cistiti nei gatti anche giovani: sono segnali che molti proprietari di cani e gatti finiscono per considerare quasi “normali”, senza sempre collegarli a ciò che entra ogni giorno nella ciotola. 

Tra confezioni che promettono benessere con slogan rassicuranti, consigli raccolti online e informazioni spesso contrastanti, orientarsi può diventare difficile. E così la prevenzione, invece di essere il punto di partenza, diventa spesso qualcosa a cui si pensa solo quando il problema si ripresenta. 

Esce oggi per Bruno Editore “SANI PER NATURA. Come proteggere e migliorare la salute di cani e gatti grazie alla consapevolezza e alle scelte alimentari di ogni giorno” di Sabrina Bonato. Un libro che accompagna i proprietari a osservare meglio il proprio animale, riconoscere i segnali del corpo e costruire, giorno dopo giorno, scelte alimentari più consapevoli e rispettose della sua natura. 

“Ho scritto questo libro perché ogni giorno incontro famiglie che hanno provato di tutto, ma continuano a vedere gli stessi problemi tornare nel cane o nel gatto” spiega Sabrina Bonato, autrice del libro. “Il punto non è colpevolizzare nessuno, né sostituirsi al veterinario. Il punto è restituire ai proprietari strumenti semplici per osservare, fare domande migliori e capire quando una scelta quotidiana può sostenere il benessere o, al contrario, contribuire a creare squilibrio”. 

Come precisa la stessa autrice, il testo affronta alcuni tra i disturbi più comuni, dalla pelle all’intestino, dalle vie urinarie alle infiammazioni ricorrenti, proponendo un percorso fatto di osservazione, prevenzione e piccoli gesti quotidiani. Non un manuale di soluzioni immediate, ma una guida per imparare a leggere meglio ciò che il corpo dell’animale comunica. 

“Sabrina Bonato porta nel libro qualcosa che ai proprietari di animali manca spesso: un metodo per porsi le giuste domande, quelle capaci di fare davvero la differenza nella gestione quotidiana della salute dei propri amici animali” osserva Giacomo Bruno, editore del libro. “È un manuale che restituisce responsabilità e consapevolezza a chi vive ogni giorno accanto a un cane o a un gatto”. 

“Bruno Editore è la casa editrice che cercavo da tempo: una realtà affidabile, capace di dare voce a un messaggio forte, concreto e rivolto a tante famiglie” conclude l’autrice. “Il team di Giacomo Bruno mi ha accompagnata con professionalità lungo tutto il percorso di pubblicazione, dandomi la possibilità di trasformare la mia esperienza in un libro che sono certa potrà essere utile a molti proprietari”. 

Il libro è disponibile su Amazon a questo indirizzo:

WASKYRA ® , the first gene therapy approved in the US to treat Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome, is now commercially available, with more centers expected to be added in the coming months.  

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. and ROME, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fondazione Telethon (FT), an Italian biomedical charity with more than 35 years of advancing research on rare and complex genetic diseases, and Orphan Therapies (OT), the commercial subsidiary of Orphan Therapeutics Accelerator, a non-profit biotech committed to advancing and expanding access to promising therapies for ultra-rare conditions, today announced the designation of UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals as the first US Qualified Treatment Center (QTC) designated to administer WASKYRA® (etuvetidigene autotemcel) to eligible pediatric patients aged six months and older and adults with Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome (WAS) who have a mutation in the WAS gene and for whom hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is appropriate and no suitable human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched related stem cell donor is available.   

Orphan Therapies is the exclusive U.S. commercialization partner for WASKYRA ® , which was developed and submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)  for regulatory approval by Fondazione Telethon. WASKYRA was approved by the FDA in December 2025 and is the first gene therapy available to treat Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome, and also the first advanced therapy to be commercialized entirely through a non-profit collaboration. 

Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome (WAS) is an ultra-rare, life-threatening immunodeficiency caused by mutations in the WAS gene. The disease is characterized by thrombocytopenia and bleeding complications, recurrent infections, eczema, immune dysregulation, and an increased risk of autoimmune disease and malignancy. 

UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals are among the nation’s foremost pediatric hospitals and have extensive expertise in caring for patients with rare genetic and immunologic disorders.  The activation of UCSF Health as a QTC establishes the commercial availability of WASKYRA® to eligible patients in the U.S. and represents the first step toward building a U.S. clinical network of highly specialized clinical centers to support patient access. 

“This milestone and partnership with Orphan Therapies reflect the ongoing and successful evolution of Fondazione Telethon’s model, which was initially designed to translate scientific research into tangible therapeutic opportunities for patients,” said Ilaria Villa, CEO of Fondazione Telethon. “After decades of groundbreaking research, we recognized the need for novel, collaborative solutions to market-based challenges that keep urgently needed treatments from reaching people affected by rare genetic diseases.” 

“Our purpose is to provide reliable and sustainable commercial access to vital treatments for very rare conditions,” said Beth White, Chief Commercial Officer of Orphan Therapies. “To do so, we find new ways to work within existing systems to deliver for patients. Our partnership with FT on WASKYRA ® is an initial proof point for an approach that we intend to apply across a range of therapies for ultra-rare conditions.”

L’iniziativa consiste in un ciclo di incontri mensili, in cui i genitori di bambine e bambini (o adulti curiosi), assieme all’insegnante Alessia Innocenti, imparano a catturare l’attenzione dei piccoli, ad usare la voce e i gesti per sostenere la lettura ad alta voce, e imparare a conoscere il proprio “stile narrativo”.

Ecco tutte le date del progetto Ascoltami che si svolgeranno nel giorno di martedì: dopo il 6 ottobre si prosegue 3 novembre, 1° dicembre, 12 gennaio, 9 febbraio, 9 marzo, 6 aprile e 4 maggio sempre dalle 17 alle 18.30. (Date e orari potrebbero subire delle variazioni per motivi organizzativi).

Sono aperte le iscrizioni per chi fosse interessato a partecipare agli incontri. L’iniziativa è gratuita.

LIMASSOL, Cyprus, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Global multi-asset Forex and CFD broker FP Markets was named Forex Broker of the Year at Forex Expo Dubai 2026 last week. The award marks another major milestone for the Australia-founded broker, which has built a reputation as one of the industry’s most trusted names since 2005. 

Held on 22-23 September at the Dubai World Trade Centre, Forex Expo Dubai is one of the online trading industry’s most anticipated gatherings. Now in its ninth edition, this year’s event drew a record-breaking turnout of more than 23,000 attendees, bringing together some of the world’s leading brokers, fintech professionals, and traders from across the MENA region and beyond. 

FP Markets’ award follows the company’s recent announcement that it has secured a Category 5 Licence from the UAE’s Capital Market Authority (CMA). The licence marks a strategic step into the UAE market, expanding the broker’s regulatory footprint and reflecting its long-term commitment to the region. 

This year marked FP Markets’ fifth consecutive appearance at Forex Expo Dubai, with the broker also serving as the event’s Elite Sponsor. On the ground, FP Markets Chief Market Analyst, Aaron Hill, hosted two live sessions at the Trader Strategy Hub. FP Markets Group Head of HR & People Culture, Christina Koro, was also honoured with the People & Culture Leadership Award as part of the Women in FX Excellence Awards during the event. 

Commenting on the company’s latest achievements, FP Markets Chief Marketing Officer, John Lewis, said: ‘We believe in a local approach. Every market has its own needs, so we tailor our products, services, and regulatory framework to each region we operate in. Our continued presence at Forex Expo Dubai and our recently secured CMA Category 5 Licence both reflect that commitment to the UAE and the wider region. This year’s expo was also a valuable opportunity to reintroduce ourselves to the local market and reinforce our position as a leading trader-first broker. We’re proud to leave Dubai as Forex Broker of the Year, and we remain focussed on expanding our offering for traders here and around the world.’ 

Looking ahead, the company remains driven by its mission to transform trading, continuously refining its product range and trading technology to meet the evolving needs of traders in every region it serves.
