Antwerp fabless spin-out Tusk IC closed a €15M Series A, led by Matterwave Ventures, FORWARD.one and the Flanders Future Tech Fund, to take its standard-CMOS Ka-band beamformer chips from prototype into volume production — a cheaper route to the flat-panel antennas satellite broadband depends on.
Textron Aviation and Merlin paired an FAA-certified Cessna SkyCourier with an aircraft-agnostic autonomy stack, aiming at the thin middle of military logistics. The concept is easy to announce; certification, retrofit economics and liability decide whether it ships.
Google, NVIDIA and Emerald AI have launched the AI Energy Management Alliance, claiming flexible data centers can unlock 100 GW of grid capacity. The demonstrations are real but narrow, and the figure depends on market rules that do not exist yet.
The Berkeley- and New York-based longevity company is betting that returning an aged stem cell to its original developmental niche can improve bone-marrow transplants — and, later, target aging itself.
Qualcomm's multi-generation deal with Amazon caps chip purchases at $60 billion and hands the cloud giant a $4B equity warrant. It validates inference silicon outside Nvidia's stack, but a ceiling is not an order, and no delivery dates are public.
Telesat handed SatPort the build-out of its Lightspeed landing stations; Gilat agreed to buy Comtech's space unit for $157.5 million. Ground infrastructure has quietly become the space economy's bottleneck — and its newest consolidation play.
Diehl Defence and Elbit Systems showed the SkyStriker loitering munition passing a target between aircraft at 80 kilometres. The demonstration is the clearest sign yet that Berlin wants the system, and the factory, on German soil.
Bluecore Energy raised $50M to mount a conventional water-cooled reactor on a barge that can power ports, coastal industry and AI data centres. The reactor is deliberately ordinary; the licensing route is the innovation.
