New Polymorph of Indomethacin Discovered

 TOKYO -

- Joint Research Involving Rigaku Published in Crystal Growth & Design -

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rigaku Corporation, a global solution partner in X-ray analytical systems and a group company of Rigaku Holdings Corporation (headquarters: Akishima, Tokyo; CEO: Jun Kawakami; “Rigaku”), announced that the results of a joint research project conducted with Shionogi & Co., Ltd., JEOL Ltd., and Meiji Pharmaceutical University have been published in Crystal Growth & Design, a world-renowned international journal in the field of crystallography.

This research uncovered a previously unknown polymorph (κ-form) of indomethacin, a widely used pain relief and anti-inflammatory drug. The research team also conducted structural analysis and characterization of the newly identified crystal form. Although indomethacin has been the subject of pharmaceutical research for years, the discovery of a new polymorph is an extremely rare event, making this discovery highly significant for both crystallography and pharmaceutical research.

Crystal polymorphs are different crystal structures formed from the same chemical compound, resulting in variations in properties such as solubility and stability. Differences among polymorphs are an important research theme in pharmaceutical development, as they affect drug quality and manufacturability. The newly discovered polymorph is expected to deepen understanding in future pharmaceutical research.

Structural analysis in this research project was carried out using the MicroED method with XtaLAB Synergy-ED, a fully integrated electron diffractometer jointly developed by Rigaku and JEOL Ltd. The newly discovered polymorph consisted of extremely small crystals measuring less than one micrometer, making structural analysis difficult using conventional X-ray diffraction methods. By leveraging MicroED technology, the research team successfully determined the crystal structure of the new κ-form.

Furthermore, analysis of molecular arrangements within the crystal revealed intermolecular interactions contributing to the stability of the polymorph. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of MicroED for discovering previously undetectable polymorphs and highlight its potential to improve pharmaceutical quality and accelerate drug development.

The Estée Lauder Companies Strengthens UK Manufacturing Network as Whitman Facility Celebrates 60 Years of British Craftsmanship

 (BUSINESS WIRE)--As The Estée Lauder Companies’ (NYSE: EL) Whitman manufacturing facility celebrates its 60th anniversary, the company today announced a strategic investment that will strengthen its UK manufacturing network, further reinforcing its long-standing commitment to British craftsmanship, innovation, and growth in prestige fragrance.

Established in 1966, Whitman is a strategic part of The Estée Lauder Companies’ global manufacturing network, producing skin care and fragrance products for brands including Jo Malone London, Estée Lauder, Clinique, and La Mer. Today, the site produces more than 90 million units annually for distribution across the UK, Europe, and other select markets worldwide.

“For sixty years, Whitman has reflected the craftsmanship, quality, and innovation that have defined The Estée Lauder Companies since my grandparents founded the business,” said William P. Lauder, Chair of the Board of Directors, The Estée Lauder Companies. “When my family established our manufacturing footprint here in 1966, we recognized the remarkable depth of British artisanal skill, and we are proud to continue investing in that legacy today.”

As The Estée Lauder Companies continues to invest in Whitman’s future, the company will integrate select luxury candle and home fragrance capabilities from long-standing partner and creator of luxury candles and scent diffusers, Contract Candles, into its UK manufacturing operations.

The investment enhances operational control and long-term resilience in a strategically important category while reinforcing the UK as a center of excellence for fragrance craftsmanship and manufacturing.

Speaking during Whitman’s 60th anniversary celebration, Roberto Canevari, Executive Vice President, Chief Value Chain Officer, The Estée Lauder Companies, said: “The UK plays a significant role in our global manufacturing network, and this investment in candle and home fragrance manufacturing reflects our continued commitment to British craftsmanship and innovation. Bringing these activities more closely into our manufacturing network will strengthen resilience and support our ability to continue delivering the exceptional quality and artistry that define our brands."

Home fragrance continues to represent a growth opportunity across The Estée Lauder Companies’ portfolio of fragrance brands, driven by expanding consumer interest in premium scent experiences and elevated home environments.

This is especially critical for organizations in highly regulated industries, where data locality, privacy, and regulatory compliance are essential to deploying AI tooling at scale.

“As a global leader in connectivity for the AI era, Nokia is building the datacenter, transport, mobile and fixed networks that connect billions of people worldwide,” said Pallavi Mahajan, Chief Technology and AI Officer, Nokia. “Empowering more than 20,000 engineers on Cursor was not just a productivity decision; it was a strategic decision about the kind of engineering organization we want to be. Our teams are directing AI agents across some of the world’s most complex codebases, helping Nokia move faster and operate more efficiently.”

Cursor's growth reflects a broader shift in how engineering organizations adopt AI tooling. Enterprises across financial services, life sciences, energy, professional services, and consumer technology are turning to Cursor to boost developer productivity, reduce time-to-ship, and modernize their software development workflows.

“Adopting AI coding tools touches workflows, governance, and how teams actually deliver,” said Cameron Cronin, Global CTO, Salesforce Business Group, Accenture. “Our work with Cursor lets us bring that adoption to clients with the implementation and advisory support needed to make it stick, so enterprises can accelerate development without compromising on quality or control.”

Beyond the platform itself, Cursor is building the local teams and partner ecosystem that make adoption successful — people who understand regional markets and partners ready to support enterprises on the ground.

DFNS Rebrands as the Core Banking Platform for Digital Assets

 (BUSINESS WIRE)--DFNS today announced a rebrand, marking its evolution from a wallet infrastructure to the first core banking platform for digital assets. The company is introducing a new logo, website, and market position as fintechs and institutions move their products and operations onchain.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260603859127/en/

Banks, fintechs, asset managers, trading firms, payment providers, market infrastructures, and clearing houses have stopped asking how to "add crypto." They're asking how to run financial products, controls, workflows, and client services on blockchain rails, with the reliability expected of core infrastructure. Some are going further still, exploring whether the blockchain can serve as the ledger itself, where an account is an onchain object rather than a row in a database. Where IBANs, virtual accounts, and blockchain wallets converge into one governed financial account.

“DFNS was built on a simple assumption. Most financial flows will move from ledgers to blockchains,” said Clarisse Hagège, CEO of DFNS. “Institutions don’t need a wallet. They need a new core system to manage both classic assets and digital assets. We are that infrastructure layer between a company's existing systems and the blockchains where digital assets now move, settle, and generate value.”

DFNS sits between an institution’s business logic and the services powering onchain finance. Its platform brings together wallet-as-a-service capabilities, key management, transaction processing, data integrity, governance and policy enforcement, workflow automations, treasury controls, tokenization engines, compliance integrations, and audit logs in one system across 100+ blockchains and third-parties.

Unlike providers that combine infrastructure with custody, brokerage, or regulated financial services, DFNS operates as a pure technology platform. It does not custody assets, face end clients, or compete with customers. Its role is to help institutions preserve control while modernizing their operations, onchain.

The rebrand includes a new visual identity, website, and product narrative organized around the critical workflows institutions run: wallets, transactions, policies, approvals, compliance, issuance, assets, treasury, and more. Existing APIs, contracts, integrations, and SLAs are unaffected.

DFNS is trusted by 400+ institutions and fintechs globally. The company has secured over €100B in assets, processes roughly 1% of the global stablecoin volume every month, and has had zero security breaches or key losses since 2020.

Seequent and Cascade Institute Partner to Map Canada’s Deep Geothermal Resources

 CALGARY, Alberta - 

State-of-the-art thermal model will provide a nationwide view of subsurface heat to accelerate Canada’s clean energy goals

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Seequent, The Bentley Subsurface Company, and the Cascade Institute today announced a collaboration to develop a Canadian Thermal Model. This landmark national initiative will reveal Canada’s deep geothermal resources and accelerate the development of renewable energy. The announcement comes on the opening day of the world’s biggest geothermal event, the World Geothermal Congress, being held in Calgary from 8 to 11 June.

As investment in geothermal energy surges globally as a reliable, always-on clean power source, the Canadian Thermal Model will create a comprehensive national view of deep heat resources using novel machine learning methods to address a long-standing challenge for the sector: limited subsurface data coverage. Seequent is providing access to its world-leading geophysics software to accelerate research into the Earth’s subsurface.

This initiative advances knowledge of Canada’s geothermal energy reserves by integrating geologic and geophysical datasets into InterPIGNN machine learning algorithm for deep heat modelling. By improving confidence in where geothermal resources are located, the model provides a critical foundation to inform investment, policy planning, and project development nationwide.

“Canada has a significant opportunity to advance geothermal when the need for reliable, always-on clean energy has never been greater,” said Jeremy O’Brien, Energy Segment Director, Seequent. “Realizing that potential starts with greater subsurface certainty and making data accessible to key stakeholders. Combining this access with best-in-class geophysics enables more accurate mapping of heat at depth. The Canadian Thermal Model brings these elements together to create a national view of deep geothermal resources, helping to reduce risk, guide investment, and accelerate development.”

The Cascade Institute, a think tank at Royal Roads University focused on high-impact interventions to address humanity’s deepest problems, will lead the project through its Deep Geothermal program. Cascade Institute specialists, working with a team of geoscientists and research partners, including Simon Fraser University, 400C Energy, and the Geological Survey of Canada Pacific Division, will develop the model using data integration workflows supported by Seequent’s Oasis montaj geophysics software. Seequent’s technology will process and visualize the data required to inform energy markets on resource availability and development costs.

“Canada has world-class subsurface expertise and a growing opportunity to lead in geothermal,” said Thomas Homer-Dixon, Executive Director of the Cascade Institute. “This project will provide a foundational resource to demonstrate the technical and economic viability of geothermal energy at scale.”

The Canadian Thermal Model reflects a broader industry shift toward data-driven geothermal development, including next-generation technologies and national-scale resource assessment. It also underscores the growing importance of partnerships between research institutions, technology providers, and the wider energy sector to scale geothermal from opportunity to infrastructure.

Seequent supports more than 60% of the world’s geothermal power generation, with experience spanning next-generation projects such as Fervo Energy’s Cape Station in Utah, and long-established operations including Ormat’s global footprint, reflecting deep expertise that drives the sector forward.

Today, Seequent and the Cascade Institute will present The Next Frontier: Exploring the Potential of Canada’s Deep Geothermal Resources at the World Geothermal Congress. The interactive discussion, hosted at the Seequent booth at 1:30 PM, will provide an in-depth examination of the technical challenges and opportunities associated with deep geothermal systems.

Haleon Invests in India to Deliver Better Everyday Health to Rural Communities

 

• £175m for first Haleon manufacturing site in Madhya Pradesh, central India
• Fast-growing India key to Haleon reaching one billion more consumers by 2030
• India’s consumer health market to reach over £23bn by 20301
• Accelerated rural distribution to access 3 million outlets
• Affordable Sensodyne packs and investment to double ‘last-mile’ reach in rural areas

 

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Haleon, a consumer company that is solely focused on better everyday health, today announces plans to expand its business in India, one of its fastest-growing markets and key to Haleon delivering its strategy and ambitions to reach one billion more consumers by 2030. Haleon will invest approximately £175 million2 in building a new oral health manufacturing site in Madhya Pradesh, central India and accelerate distribution efforts in rural India to meet rising demand. The new site will also support supply for wider Asia.

Building capacity to meet rising demand

The new site, which is well-positioned in the middle of the country and close to some of India’s most renowned technical colleges, marks an important step in the delivery of Haleon’s Win as One strategy. Win as One focuses on unlocking growth, driving productivity and transforming the company’s culture. Strengthening its in-house supply chain capabilities will enable Haleon to be more resilient and able to adapt faster to consumer needs.

Haleon’s investment in India reflects the clear, structural shift towards prevention and daily self-care, with the country’s consumer health market expected to reach over £23 billion by 2030. India is already one of Haleon’s largest oral health markets and this latest investment will accelerate access to its portfolio of trusted, science-backed brands including Sensodyne and parodontax across rural communities, with ambitions to reach more than three million outlets by 2030.

The investment is in line with Haleon’s capital allocation priorities as outlined at the company’s Capital Markets Day in 2025.

Reaching underserved communities at scale

Rural India is home to around 65% of the country’s population3, spread across more than 650,000 villages4, where unmet oral health needs remain significant. Access to dental care remains highly limited in rural India, where a single dentist may serve around 250,000 people5. With as few as 1 in 7 people in rural communities6 visiting a dentist each year, many live with untreated conditions like tooth decay or sensitivity for years. With many not currently using specialist toothpaste such as Sensodyne, recommended by healthcare professionals, there is a significant opportunity to address unmet consumer needs.

With many households reliant on daily wages and increasingly value conscious, Haleon will also be rolling out access to high-quality, science based oral health products made with trusted ingredients through lower-cost, small-format toothpaste packs – including its 20-rupee Sensodyne pack – across significantly more towns and villages.

With sales and distribution teams now working directly into Haleon’s leadership, there is significant opportunity to transform how products reach consumers in new and innovative ways – supported by the recruitment of more than 500 people to its sales teams over the last 12 months.

‘Last-mile’ investment to build awareness and access

Haleon is also investing in ‘last-mile’ capabilities, doubling frontline teams on motorbikes who are equipped with testing kits, samples and diagnostic tools and deployed to rural areas, which are often beyond the reach of traditional retail and pharmacies. Simple diagnostic tools, such as ‘chill tests’ – where consumers assess sensitivity by drinking cold water - help consumers recognise symptoms they may have had for years and connect them with science-backed treatment, often for the first time.

The company is also improving access by engaging rural communities directly through education, with its network of mobile oral health literacy vans. These Sensodyne-branded vans are designed to turn local squares and marketplaces into community hubs for oral health awareness, sensitivity and gum health checks, and immediate access to products.

Brian McNamara, CEO, Haleon, said: “India is a key strategic market for Haleon and an important driver of our long-term growth. This investment strengthens our local manufacturing footprint and expands our reach in one of the world’s fastest-growing consumer health markets. By increasing access to our trusted brands and building our capabilities on the ground, we are well positioned to capture the significant opportunities ahead.

“We aim to expand access to better everyday health for more than 300 million additional consumers in India. This will be key to achieving our broader ambition to reach one billion more consumers globally by 2030.”

The new manufacturing facility was marked by a groundbreaking ceremony and a meeting between Haleon management and the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh this week. It will create up to 500 jobs, strengthen local capabilities and support long-term economic development, reinforcing Haleon’s ambition to be an employer of choice in the country. It is expected to open in early 2028 with supply commencing the following year.

Notes to editors Q&A

Why is Haleon investing in India?

India is one of Haleon’s fastest growing markets and key to achieving its ambition to reach one billion more consumers by 2030. The country’s consumer health market is forecast to reach over £23 billion by 2030, driven by rising awareness and adoption of self-care. Significant unmet health needs in rural areas, where access to care remains limited and many consumers do not yet use specialist products, create substantial headroom for growth and an opportunity to expand access to everyday health.

How much is Haleon investing in India, and how will this investment be phased?

Haleon is investing around £175 million of capital expenditure in a new oral health manufacturing site in Madhya Pradesh. This investment will be phased across the 2025 – 2029 period. The site is expected to open in early 2028, with supply commencing the following year, supporting the company’s long-term growth plans in India. The investment is in line with Haleon’s capital allocation priorities as outlined at the company’s Capital Markets Day in 2025.

How will this investment support Haleon’s growth strategy?

The investment supports Haleon’s Win as One strategy by strengthening in-house supply chain capabilities and enabling faster response to consumer needs. It also forms part of Haleon’s ‘Build for Tomorrow’ programme, which is transforming Haleon’s global supply chain to meet mid- to long-term needs, including through investments in key growth markets such as India and China.

Will the new manufacturing site support exports to other markets?

The new site focuses on meeting growing demand within India, one of our fastest-growing markets, while also serving other parts of Asia. The site strengthens local manufacturing capabilities and supply chain resilience, while forming part of our broader global supply chain transformation.

How does this investment strengthen Haleon’s presence in India?

We actively invest in markets where we see opportunities to drive innovation and create value. This investment strengthens Haleon’s capabilities in India by expanding local manufacturing and building a more localised, resilient supply network closer to consumers. It enhances agility to meet growing demand - particularly in underserved and rural communities - while supporting the company’s broader efforts to optimise and transform its global supply chain.

How many people does Haleon employ in India, and will this investment create jobs?

Haleon already employs a significant workforce across India. The new manufacturing site will create 500 jobs and strengthen local capabilities. In addition, the company has recruited more than 500 people into its sales teams over the last 12 months to support expanded distribution.

How does this announcement build on Haleon’s existing presence in India?

Since becoming a standalone company in 2022, Haleon has redefined its presence in India - building its own end-to-end dedicated salesforce and distribution network. This investment builds on that foundation, strengthening route-to-market and accelerating rural outreach to reach more underserved communities.

Why have you selected Madhya Pradesh as the location for the new site?

Madhya Pradesh is well-positioned in the centre of the country with the site selected due to its close proximity to infrastructure, higher education, logistics, talent and incentives.

Where does India sit within Haleon’s global operating model?

Haleon’s new operating model – announced early this year - established India Subcontinent as a distinct Operating Unit, reporting directly into the Chief Executive, reflecting the scale and growth potential of the market and reinforcing the strategic importance of this investment.

About Haleon

Haleon (LSE/NYSE: HLN) is a consumer company that is solely focused on better everyday health. Our people, our brands, our research, our investment and our innovation are aimed at improving the everyday health of consumers.

BitGo MENA Launches Regulated Electronic Trading, Delivering Full Suite Trading Services to the Region

 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- BitGo MENA FZE (“BitGo MENA”), a subsidiary of BitGo Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BTGO) (“BitGo”), the digital asset infrastructure company, today announced the launch of electronic trading in the Middle East and North African (MENA). With this launch, clients can now access a comprehensive trading solution combining BitGo MENA’s established over-the-counter (OTC) trading offering with institutional-grade electronic execution, all operating under BitGo MENA’s Broker-Dealer license from Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA).

The launch further expands BitGo MENA’s regulated product suite under VARA’s oversight, marking another step in the region’s continued buildout of institutional digital asset infrastructure amid growing demand for integrated execution and custody solutions.

“The Middle East and North Africa has quickly become one of the most exciting regions in the world for digital assets, with regulators, institutions, and innovators moving with real purpose,” said Mike Belshe, CEO and Co-founder of BitGo. “BitGo’s expansion in the region reflects our belief that the next phase of digital asset adoption will be built in markets with strong regulatory foundations and institutional ambition. We’re excited to deepen our presence and support the growth of this ecosystem for years to come.”

BitGo MENA’s electronic trade offering sources liquidity from leading exchanges and liquidity providers, designed to improve price efficiency and best execution quality for clients, a meaningful advantage in a region where regulated, institutional-grade market access has historically been limited.

“We’ve seen strong engagement across our OTC business in the region, and the launch of electronic trading creates a complete institutional offering for our clients,” said Nick Coombs, Managing Director of MENA Sales at BitGo. “We believe the MENA region continues to stand out as one of the most dynamic and fast-growing digital asset markets, and our focus remains on delivering infrastructure that enables institutions to realise their ambition.”

A key component of the launch of electronic trading is the ability for clients to execute trades through BitGo MENA, with assets held with BitGo MENA Custody FZE, providing a regulated structure that separates execution and custody under the respective VARA-licensed entities. This integrated model allows clients to execute trades while assets remain securely held in BitGo’s custody infrastructure, mitigating counterparty risk and insured up to $250M.

The UAE’s progressive regulatory environment and VARA’s clear VASP licensing framework have supported the development of one of the fastest-growing institutional digital asset markets globally. BitGo MENA’s local-first structure positions it as one of the region’s most trusted institutional partners.

Today, BitGo MENA services the region’s top exchanges, platforms, hedge funds, and asset managers. The launch of electronic trading completes BitGo MENA’s institutional trading stack, reinforcing BitGo’s commitment to delivering secure, regulated, and scalable infrastructure to the region.

About BitGo

Since 2013, BitGo has focused on accelerating the transition of the financial system to a digital asset economy.

6-day glucose control: A single 4 mg oral dose of Oraglutide™ produced a sustained fall in glucose. Measuring 14% at Day 6 (p=.046), the longest duration presented from a single oral GLP-1 dose in a human IVGTT study.

28% increase in insulin secretion: Relative to placebo, insulin percent AUC increased by 12% day 0, (p=0.02) & 28% Day 1 (p = 0.025).

Novel intestinal depot effect: Blood levels of semaglutide were higher on Day 1 than dosing on Day 0, consistent with lipid associated depot effect in the intestinal wall, a fundamentally new pharmacological finding.

No nausea or side effects observed: No adverse events observed across the 8-subject cohort over one week, consistent with targeting vagal afferent mechanisms that avoids peak off target outer circulation exposures.

Dose >6x lower than Rybelsus: Biopotency at least six-fold greater than Rybelsus (R2) opens the door to Oraglutide™ low dose, long acting and Satietyde™ microdose maintenance & rebound prevention formulations

Circulating Blood Levels sufficient to trigger pancreatic GLP-1 receptors observed to Day 4

Platform patent cover to 2044: Diabetology's licensed Axcess™ formulation technology is protected by patents and applications extending to 2044.

Oraglutide’s™ possibility of optimal compliance from the convenience of a once weekly oral capsule follows the well-established once weekly GLP-1 injection regimen.

The longer action and lower side effect profile emerges from the considerably lower oral dosing and more physiological pathway of delivery via the intestine wall. This is where most GLP-1 is naturally produced and vagal nerve receptors exist to trigger satiety via the brain. These advantages could significantly reduce overall costs of therapy, allow less dropouts and side-effects and opens the possibility of Satietyde™ microdosing to reduce rebound effects following obesity treatments.

AB InBev Turns Bars into Stadiums During Biggest-Ever FIFA World Cup™

 LONDON - 

‘Cheers to Bars’ Global Platform Calls for People to Gather and Celebrate at Bars Everywhere

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Today, AB InBev, the world’s leading brewer, launched its global “Cheers to Bars” platform – a celebration of local bars and their impact on communities all over the world.

Bars have always been more than places to grab a beer. They are where people come together to connect, celebrate milestones, build friendships, and create lasting memories. As hubs of social connection, bars play an important role in strengthening communities and bringing people closer together.

“During the FIFA World Cup 2026™, bars will become the beating heart of every neighborhood – places where strangers become friends, every goal is celebrated as one, and collective memories are created with every raised glass,” said Michel Doukeris, CEO, AB InBev. “Beer and football have long been catalysts for bringing people together to create moments of joy and belonging. Nowhere is this spirit of beer and football more alive than in bars, where they share a special place in culture.”

The FIFA World Cup 2026™ will be the biggest ever, and AB InBev’s global megabrands Michelob ULTRA and Budweiser are serving as official beer sponsors.

Beyond its sponsorship of the tournament, AB InBev is introducing trade programs that help support and elevate bar owners as well as also debuting a new “Cheers to Bars” anthem film. Produced in partnership with creative agency GUT, the film pays tribute to the energy, passion, and human connections that only bars can create.

Around the world, celebrations will support local bars:

AB InBev is hosting 200,000 watch parties across more than 40 countries, transforming bars into the ultimate match-day destination.

In the U.S., Stella Artois is launching “Work From Bar,” reimbursing up to $100,000 for fans 21+ who enjoy a Stella Artois 0.0 or Stella Artois while watching weekday FIFA World Cup 2026™ matches from their local bar.

In Brazil, Ambev will invest more than R$100 million in 2026 to provide mentoring and financial solutions for entrepreneurs at up to 250,000 points of sale across the country.

To promote beer as a beverage of moderation, events will feature no- and low-alcohol options alongside responsible beverage service training that equips servers with best practices for a safe and elevated consumer experience.

Together with partners around the world, AB InBev’s “Cheers to Bars” platform celebrates the social and economic role local bars play in communities everywhere.

As billions of fans come together to cheer for the beautiful game during the FIFA World Cup 2026™, bars will continue to play an essential role in bringing people closer, creating moments of joy, belonging, and shared passion.
