RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Real Estate General Authority (REGA), the regulator responsible for Saudi Arabia’s real estate sector, has announced today the commencement of applications for foreign real estate ownership through the “Saudi Properties” portal. This is the official portal for the Foreign Real Estate Ownership Law, following its entry into force in January 2026. As part of this, the Geographic Scope and Regulatory Framework were also approved. 

The portal enables prospective property owners, both within and outside the Kingdom, to begin their ownership journey through an official digital channel that allows users to complete all regulatory procedures electronically. Saudi Properties services include access to available ownership pathways, approved real estate opportunities, verification of eligibility requirements, application submission, and tracking services. 

Non-Saudi individuals residing in the Kingdom can apply directly through the “Saudi Properties” portal using their residency number, with automated verification of eligibility requirements and completion of procedures through a fully digital process. 

Non-Saudi residents begin their application process by obtaining a digital identity card from Saudi missions abroad, which must be obtained prior to completing the online application process. Non-Saudi companies and entities without an existing presence in the Kingdom are required to register with the Ministry of Investment through the “Invest Saudi” platform and obtain national unified number before completing the ownership process electronically. 

The system allows non-Saudi individuals, companies, and entities to own property across various regions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, while regulating ownership in Makkah and Madinah. Property ownership within the two Holy Cities is limited to Saudi companies and Muslim individuals from both within and outside the Kingdom. 

This is implemented through a clear regulatory framework that makes ownership decisions more transparent by linking real estate opportunities to structured pathways, and official data sources, thereby enhancing market credibility, supporting high-quality urban growth, and elevating the overall beneficiary experience. 

REGA emphasized that the “Saudi Properties” portal is the official channel for foreign real estate ownership applications, as well as accessing key information related to owning property in the Kingdom. The Authority encourages prospective property owners to visit the “Saudi Properties” portal at: saudiproperties.rega.gov.sa. 

The update and implementation of the Foreign Real Estate Ownership Law comes into effect at a time when Saudi Arabia is witnessing a significant transformation across its real estate market, driven by urban growth, the expansion of major projects, and the advancement of business, tourism, hospitality, entertainment, and quality-of-life sectors, further strengthening the Kingdom’s attractiveness as a destination for living, working, and investment.

Così la ricorda il Pd: “Se ne va una donna straordinaria, che fino all’ultimo ha custodito e trasmesso con lucidità la memoria della Resistenza, di cui è stata fiera testimone e protagonista. Tutta la comunità del Partito Democratico si stringe in un abbraccio commosso alla sua famiglia e ai suoi cari. Le nostre più profonde condoglianze vanno ai figli Fabrizio e Anna Buonomini, quest’ultima fra i componenti dell’assemblea del Pd di Pistoia”.

Per chi volesse dare un ultimo saluto a Maria, i funerali si terranno domani (24 giugno) alle 10,30 alla chiesa di Campo Tizzoro.

“Grazie di tutto, Maria – conclude il Pd – Il tuo esempio e i valori di libertà che hai difeso continuano a vivere dentro di noi”.

Nato l’11 agosto 2004, Pio è un centro emergente, moderno e dinamico. Dotato di lunghissime leve, abbina una forte presenza nel pitturato a un repertorio offensivo in continua evoluzione, che sta vedendo una solidità sempre maggiore anche nel tiro da tre punti. I tifosi rossoblù lo ricorderanno sicuramente per un incredibile canestro segnato da dietro il tabellone proprio contro gli Herons nella sfida a Casoria dello scorso anno, un pezzo di bravura tecnica diventato virale in rete.

Nelle ultime due stagioni, Ruggiero ha vestito la canotta della Psa, prima a Sant’Antimo e poi a Casoria, dimostrando una crescita costante nei massimi palcoscenici nazionali senior: ha chiuso l’anno 2024/25 a 6.6 punti e 3.9 rimbalzi di media, migliorandosi ulteriormente nell’ultima stagione con 7.2 punti e 4.6 rimbalzi per gara.

Cresciuto cestisticamente nella Nuova Polisportiva Stabia, Pio ha poi vissuto tappe fondamentali ad Angri, mettendosi in luce fin da giovanissimo tra giovanili Eccellenza, C Gold e B Interregionale (dove ha viaggiato a 10 punti di media, contribuendo alla promozione in Serie B con 6.8 punti a serata).

Quella di Pio è una vera e propria storia di famiglia e di “basket nel sangue”: il padre Agostino Ruggiero (classe 1970) è infatti una leggenda delle serie minori campane, capace di conquistare promozioni a suon di canestri e di issarsi fino al 22° posto all-time dei realizzatori nei campionati FIP con ben 11.865 punti segnati (viaggiando a oltre 20 di media a partita, subito a ridosso di mostri sacri come Andrea Niccolai e Claudio Capone).

“Con l’arrivo di Pio Ruggiero – dice coach Gabrielli – inseriamo nel nostro motore un lungo di grande energia, centimetri e con enormi margini di miglioramento. È un ragazzo moderno, capace di correre bene il campo, di farsi sentire a rimbalzo e di aprire l’area grazie alla sua pericolosità sul perimetro. Cercavamo un profilo con questa fame e questa freschezza atletica per sviluppare la nostra idea di pallacanestro intensa e dinamica. Pio ha accettato subito con entusiasmo un progetto biennale, segno della sua voglia di lavorare duro e di compiere un passo in avanti decisivo per la sua carriera insieme a noi.”

LONDON, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Phillips is proud to present highlights of the Modern & Contemporary Art Evening & Afternoon Sale, taking place on 26 June in London, led by David Hockney’s The Only One with Waves (1991), a major painting from a pivotal moment in the artist’s career. 

Executed shortly after acquiring his home in Malibu, The Only One with Waves encapsulates Hockney’s engagement with the Southern Californian coast and his enduring fascination with water as both subject and sensation. Moving beyond the controlled stillness of his celebrated pool paintings, Hockney turns to the dynamism of the Pacific Ocean, capturing what he described as “the close movement of the water itself… endlessly changing, endlessly fascinating.” Flattened perspective, luminous color, and rhythmic mark-making create a composition that feels both immediate and immersive. 

Painted at a moment of expanded creative ambition, the work reflects Hockney’s parallel engagement with stage design in the early 1990s, including major opera commissions. His understanding of space as constructed — layered, theatrical, and fluid — finds a direct analogue in the sweeping contours and abbreviated forms of the waves. Distilling the landscape to its essential elements, Hockney achieves a balance between observation and invention, anticipating the breakthroughs of the Very New Paintings series begun the following year. 

The painting also marks a renewed chapter in Hockney’s dialogue with water. From the intricate surfaces of A Bigger Splash (1967) to the more gestural handling seen here, The Only One with Waves demonstrates his evolving ability to translate movement and light into a visual language of remarkable clarity and energy. 

Olivia Thornton, Deputy Chairwoman, Modern & Contemporary Art, Europe, said, “June in London is a key moment in the international art calendar and we are delighted to be building on the strong momentum of our White Glove Evening Sale in New York last month. On the heels of that success, we are excited to showcase important names from the Post-War avant-garde to leading contemporary artists working today. We look forward to welcoming clients to a sale that reflects the depth, energy and internationalism of today’s market.” 

The sale brings together artists across generations, alongside a focused presentation of Hockney’s work at a moment of critical and market momentum. The preview is on view at Phillips’ Berkeley Square galleries through the auction on 26 June at 2pm BST.

La Toscana si schiera contro il nuovo Decreto Casa del Governo. L’assessora regionale alle politiche abitative, Alessandra Nardini, ha partecipato a un presidio a Roma, in piazza Capranica, promosso dalle principali sigle sindacali degli inquilini. La protesta, condivisa con gli amministratori di altre cinque Regioni a guida centrosinistra, si è svolta nel giorno in cui l’esecutivo ha scelto di blindare il provvedimento ponendo la questione di fiducia in Parlamento.

Attraverso un documento congiunto firmato con i colleghi di Emilia-Romagna, Puglia, Umbria, Campania e Sardegna, Nardini ha bocciato l’impianto della manovra nazionale. Secondo i firmatari, il decreto non fornisce risposte strutturali all’emergenza abitativa, configurandosi come un testo lontano dalle difficoltà quotidiane di chi cerca un alloggio. Nel documento viene espresso rammarico per la mancata adesione delle Regioni governate dal centrodestra, che pur vivendo gli stessi problemi sui territori avrebbero rinunciato a partecipare per esclusive ragioni di schieramento politico.

Le critiche degli enti locali si concentrano sulla gestione dei fondi e sulle scelte operative. Gli assessori contestano la creazione della figura di un nuovo commissario straordinario con un compenso da 400mila euro l’anno. “Quello che manca all’Italia non è l’ennesimo Commissario straordinario, ma i fondi per far partire i cantieri e ristrutturare gli alloggi”, si legge nella nota. Le risorse messe a disposizione, pari a 970 milioni di euro spalmati su cinque anni, vengono considerate sufficienti a coprire appena un terzo dei 60mila recuperi edilizi annunciati dal ministero.

Un altro punto di forte dissenso riguarda l’azzeramento del fondo per la ‘morosità incolpevole’, lo strumento finanziario destinato a sostenere le famiglie che non riescono a pagare l’affitto per improvvise e comprovate difficoltà economiche. La cancellazione di questa misura, sottolineano le Regioni, scarica i costi sociali direttamente sui Comuni, in una fase storica che negli ultimi cinque anni ha visto i salari crescere del 12 per cento a fronte di un aumento dei canoni di locazione del 45 per cento. Vengono sollevati dubbi anche sulle norme rivolte ai costruttori privati, giudicate economicamente insostenibili nella maggior parte delle città.

Pur criticando l’approccio del Governo, le Regioni coinvolte si dichiarano pronte al dialogo istituzionale, avvertendo però che in assenza di un confronto reale l’esecutivo si assumerà la responsabilità del fallimento del piano abitativo.

REDAZIONE

La Regione Toscana avvia una campagna di monitoraggio per tracciare la presenza dei ‘Pfas’, le sostanze perfluoroalchiliche note anche come ‘inquinanti eterni’. Il progetto punta a raccogliere dati scientifici aggiornati sulle emissioni e sugli scarichi, coinvolgendo in prima linea le imprese del territorio e i gestori del servizio idrico.

L’iniziativa si articola in due percorsi volontari di raccolta e condivisione delle informazioni. L’obiettivo dell’ente è mappare l’impatto di queste sostanze chimiche sull’ambiente attraverso parametri omogenei e validati. Le indagini si concentreranno da un lato sulle installazioni produttive soggette all’Aia (Autorizzazione integrata ambientale, il provvedimento che regola gli impatti ambientali degli impianti industriali) e dall’altro sui sistemi di depurazione pubblici.

Il primo step operativo è fissato per il 29 giugno, con un incontro online rivolto alle aziende dotate di autorizzazione ambientale. Durante la riunione, organizzata con il supporto tecnico di Arpat e la collaborazione delle sedi territoriali di Confindustria, verranno definiti gli strumenti e le schede per la condivisione dei dati già a disposizione o da rilevare. Un secondo tavolo di lavoro si terrà il 1° luglio e sarà dedicato ai gestori dei depuratori, affiancati sempre da Arpat e da Cispel Toscana. In questa sede verranno stabiliti i criteri per coordinare le misurazioni in tutta la regione.

L’avvio di questi tavoli rappresenta la prima fase pratica di un’indagine più ampia approvata con una delibera dello scorso aprile, pensata per analizzare i settori produttivi più esposti a questo tipo di inquinanti.

L’assessore regionale all’ambiente David Barontini ha definito il perimetro dell’operazione: “Vogliamo costruire un quadro conoscitivo sempre più solido e trasparente, fondato su dati scientifici e sulla collaborazione tra istituzioni, sistema produttivo e gestori dei servizi pubblici”. Sottolineando come la misurazione del fenomeno sia il requisito fondamentale per programmare gli interventi a tutela dell’ecosistema e della salute pubblica, l’assessore ha rivolto un ringraziamento ad Andrea Rafanelli, a capo della Direzione tutela dell’ambiente ed energia della Regione, che ha strutturato e coordina le operazioni di tracciamento.

PROVIDENCE, R.I., June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EpiVax, Inc., a recognized leader in immunogenicity risk assessment, announces the expansion of its laboratory facilities at its Providence, RI headquarters. The upgraded space has more than doubled the company’s laboratory footprint, expanding the CRO’s capacity to support advanced immunological testing. This investment reflects growing demand for integrated, human-relevant, new approach methodologies (NAMs) to evaluate immunogenicity risk due to limitations of traditional animal models to provide human-relevant immunogenicity readouts. 

Per global regulatory agency guidance, NAMs have become a central component of preclinical immunogenicity risk assessment for biologics, peptides, emerging modalities, generics/biosimilars, and critical quality attributes (CQAs). It is suggested that immunogenicity should not be viewed solely as a late-stage clinical observation, but rather as a mechanistically informed, human-relevant risk continuum that can be interrogated early and throughout development using integrated in silico and in vitro systems to characterize specific components of immune activation before clinical exposure and to inform optimized bioanalytical and clinical strategies. 

With best-in-class in silico immunogenicity risk assessment tools, a comprehensive suite of in vitro assays fit to assess innate and adaptive immune responses, a team of renowned experts, and now an expanded laboratory capacity, EpiVax is well-positioned as a preferred “one stop shop” partner for a multidimensional, NAM-centric immunogenicity risk assessment (IRA) for therapeutic developers. 

EpiVax’s laboratory supports assessments in human whole blood, PBMC, and specialized professional antigen presenting cells, such as dendritic cells. The platform assays are scalable and modular – designed to fit the development phase, therapeutic modality, throughput, and immunological question at hand – leveraging cellular activation through phenotyping, proliferation, and cytokine secretion readouts to evaluate the impact of immune liabilities on different aspects of innate and adaptive immune responses. 

The tailored assays provide complementary insights to EpiVax’s in silico analyses (the ISPRI toolkit), enabling a comprehensive risk assessment consisting of orthogonal methods, with the benefit of streamlined workflows, data consistency, and inclusive scientific collaboration. 

EpiVax has a strong demonstrated history in the application of its multi-phased in silico and in vitro immunogenicity risk assessment approach, including its PANDA screening framework for generic peptide products. This approach integrates computational analysis with targeted in vitro methods to assess sequence- and CQA-driven risk and establish comparability to reference products. EpiVax has supported more than 16 successful global regulatory submissions in recent years using this framework, demonstrating its effectiveness in enabling rigorous, mechanism-based IRAs aligned with evolving regulatory expectations. 

“EpiVax aims to provide human-relevant computational and immune-cell based IRA solutions that allow therapeutic developers to make more informed, data-driven decisions from discovery through commercialization,” said Vibha Jawa, Ph.D., CSO of EpiVax. “The expansion of our laboratory will allow us to support our partners in this goal more efficiently than ever before.” 

About EpiVax:EpiVax partners with biologic developers to manage immunogenicity risk throughout the product lifecycle. Leveraging deep scientific expertise to apply industry-leading in silico analyses and in vitro approaches, insights from actionable data help our partners reduce uncertainty, mitigate risk, and use resources more efficiently while building regulatory-ready strategies for safer, more effective therapies. www.epivax.com

LONDON, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Over the past five years, lithium has rapidly emerged as a major global commodity, driven by demand from electric vehicles, energy storage and the wider energy transition. Demand is expected to grow by more than 200% over the next decade, yet the market infrastructure needed to support pricing, liquidity and risk management has not kept pace. 

Lithium markets remain less mature than other major commodities, with limited electronic and transparent infrastructure for price discovery and trade initiation. As participation grows across the value chain, the need for standardized operational trading mechanisms to support liquidity, investment and large-scale trading is becoming increasingly acute. 

Against this backdrop, Fastmarkets today announced plans to launch a new platform for the physical lithium market, designed to improve price discovery and access to spot liquidity. Details of the launch will be announced at Fastmarkets’ flagship event, Global Lithium, Battery and Critical Materials Conference, taking place 22–25 June 2026 in Las Vegas. 

“Fastmarkets has a unique role in the lithium market because we sit at the intersection of pricing, market participation and long-term market development,” said Raju Daswani, CEO of Fastmarkets. “Our benchmarks are already deeply embedded in how lithium is traded, hedged and used across the value chain. As the market continues to mature, participants are increasingly looking for more transparent and efficient routes to price discovery and liquidity. We believe Fastmarkets is uniquely positioned to help support that evolution.” 

Fastmarkets’ development of the platform will be informed by inputs from an established industry advisory group comprising leading participants from across the lithium value chain, including producers, consumers and trading firms. In consultation with the advisory group, Fastmarkets will shape the platform’s design and functionality, ensuring it aligns with market practices and supports broad industry participation. 

“As one of the world’s largest lithium producers, PLS welcomes Fastmarkets’ announcement of its development of a centralized digital spot platform,” said Dale Henderson, Managing Director and CEO of PLS Group Ltd. “As lithium becomes a larger and more strategically important global commodity, PLS supports market infrastructure development that improves transparency and operational efficiency in lithium trading. Transparent price discovery, credible and independent benchmarks and deeper physical liquidity are important foundations for building confidence across the value chain and attracting the capital required to support future growth. 

“PLS is pleased to contribute to Fastmarkets’ development of market infrastructure that supports a more mature, efficient and investable lithium market”, he said. 

The platform will launch later this year and is designed to address structural frictions that continue to limit transparency and liquidity in lithium markets. It is intended to provide: 

“As commodity markets mature, they develop the infrastructure to match – transparent pricing, accessible liquidity and the confidence for buyers and sellers to transact at arm’s length. Lithium has grown faster than many other commodities in recent history, but its physical market infrastructure has not kept pace. Liontown has maintained spot volumes specifically to support open, transparent price discovery, and we see initiatives like Fastmarkets’ new platform as a positive step towards closing that gap,” said Grant Donald, Chief Commercial Officer at Liontown Ltd. 

“As lithium continues to play an increasingly central role in industrial strategy and the global energy transition, we welcome the development of a more robust and transparent market infrastructure. We are pleased to support this evolution through our active participation in the advisory group,” said Kevin Zhou, Sales and Operation Director at Sichuan Yahua Lithium Group. 

Fastmarkets’ position in the battery raw material market is built on decades of pricing expertise dating back to 1913, with more than 60 years of coverage for lithium. Its IOSCO-compliant lithium benchmarks are widely used across the value chain in physical contracts, price negotiations and financial instruments, including as settlement references for lithium futures contracts listed on major commodity exchanges.

OneLayer’s platform addresses that gap directly, providing device-level asset management, operational intelligence, and Zero Trust enforcement for both private LTE/5G and carrier APN environments. The company’s customer momentum over the past year, including new deployments across utilities, manufacturing, and mining, reflects how quickly enterprises are recognizing the need for a dedicated solution. 

“The private cellular security market and OneLayer are entering a new phase of growth and building a growth marketing function that can match that pace is central to everything we are doing,” said Dave Mor, CEO, OneLayer. “Alexa’s depth in enterprise cybersecurity marketing and her track record of building programs that reach the right buyers at scale make her the right hire for where OneLayer is headed.” 

In her new role, Alexa will lead OneLayer’s growth marketing organization, overseeing demand generation, field marketing, and pipeline programs across the company’s established verticals. Her mandate extends beyond those verticals: identifying new geographies, entering new industry segments, and building the go-to-market infrastructure that brings OneLayer’s platform to the enterprise buyers who need it most, as the company accelerates its expansion across North America, Europe, and key international markets. 

“Private cellular networks are rapidly becoming foundational infrastructure for modern enterprises, yet many organizations still lack the visibility and security controls needed to manage these environments effectively,” said Alexa Bleecker, Vice President of Growth Marketing, OneLayer. “OneLayer has built a category-defining platform that addresses these challenges and is uniquely positioned at the intersection of cybersecurity and private cellular networks. I’m excited to join at such an important moment as enterprises accelerate adoption of private LTE and 5G.”

The collaboration will focus on non-adherence, missed appointments, and clinical trial retention 

BRUSSELS, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cognivia announced a collaboration with Mayo Clinic aimed at advancing behavioral intelligence across clinical research and clinical care. Building on Cognivia’s behavioral intelligence capabilities and Mayo Clinic’s expertise in patient care and shared decision-making, the collaboration will initially focus on three important drivers of outcomes across research and care settings: non-adherence, missed appointments, and clinical trial retention. 

Across clinical trials, clinical research, and patient care, outcomes can depend not only on having effective treatments or care plans, but also on whether patients can realistically follow them in daily life. Appointments, protocols, medications, and follow-up all can shape both the real-world impact of care and the success of clinical trials. 

Cognivia’s behavioral intelligence capabilities are designed to make patient behavior measurable and actionable, with the goal of helping healthcare organizations identify risks earlier and respond more effectively. 

The collaboration will focus on non-adherence, missed appointments, and clinical trial dropout—behavioral factors that contribute to increased costs, operational inefficiencies, and variability in outcomes across both clinical research and clinical care. Earlier visibility into behavioral risk can support stronger trial retention, more predictable study execution, and reduced uncertainty associated with behavioral variability. In clinical care, earlier visibility into behavioral risk can help care teams identify patients who may benefit from timely, targeted interventions to support adherence and prevent missed visits or treatment gaps from compounding. 

“Patient behavior is an important driver of outcomes across both clinical research and clinical care,” said Dominique Demolle, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Cognivia. “For decades, healthcare has focused on biological and clinical factors while having limited ability to systematically measure, let alone act on, behavioral drivers of outcomes. We are developing solutions designed to make these factors measurable and actionable in a way that can be consistently integrated into how research and care are conducted.” 

Mayo Clinic has a financial interest in the technology referenced in this press release. Mayo Clinic will use any revenue it receives to support its not-for-profit mission in patient care, education and research.
