Home energy systems are becoming increasingly difficult to manage as solar panels, batteries, EVs, heat pumps, dynamic electricity tariffs and household appliances operate as one interconnected system. At IFA 2026, Zendure is introducing Agentic HEMS, an AI-driven home energy management architecture designed to move beyond fixed schedules by forecasting conditions, deciding how energy should be…
As AI coding tools accelerate software development, investors face a new problem during technology acquisitions: understanding exactly what they are buying is becoming harder. Plan A Technologies has acquired a stealth AI assessment tool to strengthen its technical M&A due diligence practice, using automated analysis to examine large, fragmented technology environments and surface risks that…
AI coding agents are making software development dramatically faster, but infrastructure teams still have to review changes through tickets, approvals and manual workflows. empirik.ai is betting that this mismatch is becoming a reliability problem. The company has emerged from stealth with $21 million in funding and an AI agent designed to understand infrastructure-change intent, calculate…
EpiVax is upgrading its computational immunology platform with AI-enabled models designed to give drug developers a more precise view of how the human immune system may respond to biotherapeutic candidates. The latest release of ISPRI combines an updated JanusMatrix model, a new tolerance-adjusted immunogenicity score and an enhanced anti-drug antibody prediction model, pushing computational assessment…
AI systems are only as useful as the data they can actually access. Sayari is tackling that problem in a high-stakes setting by rebuilding its Commercial World Model on Snowflake, bringing more than a decade of corporate, trade and regulatory records into an AI-ready data foundation. The move is designed to help organizations uncover ownership…
Generative AI is beginning to reshape not only how medicines are discovered, but also how investors classify the companies building that technology. Insilico Medicine will join the HKEX Tech 100 Index in September, placing the AI-driven drug discovery company alongside Hong Kong-listed businesses representing artificial intelligence, biotechnology, robotics and other technology themes. The boundary between…
The smart home is moving beyond voice commands and app-controlled appliances. At IFA 2026 in Berlin, LG Electronics is demonstrating an AI Home ecosystem designed to interpret routines, household conditions and user intent, then coordinate appliances and connected services around them. The centerpiece is ThinQ Claw, a text-based AI agent integrated with LG ThinQ ON…
The AI infrastructure buildout is creating a new bottleneck beyond GPUs: moving data between increasingly dense computing systems. Sivers Semiconductors is responding with a $30 million investment to expand its indium phosphide (InP) manufacturing facility in Glasgow, Scotland, targeting more than 100 million continuous-wave distributed-feedback (CW DFB) lasers in annual production capacity once the expansion…
Korea is taking its AI semiconductor ambitions to one of the world’s largest consumer and technology showcases. At IFA 2026 in Berlin, 12 Korean companies and organizations will present AI chips, NPUs, edge-computing technologies and real-world applications spanning robotics, mobility, safety and smart cities—offering a look at how the country wants to compete beyond semiconductor…
