21.9.2023 11:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Forrester (Nasdaq: FORR) will recognise Keysight Technologies, as this year’s Return On Integration Honours winner at its B2B Summit EMEA, held October 9-11, 2023, in London, UK, and digitally. Keysight Technologies is being recognised for aligning its marketing, sales, and product functions to maximise customer value. Additionally, Forrester will celebrate Programmes Of The Year winners for outstanding achievements within specific functions of marketing, sales, and product: NTT Ltd. for developing a global account-based marketing center of excellence; and Dun & Bradstreet for transforming a regional marketing function into a centralised marketing hub.
Forrester’s B2B Summit EMEA is the premier event for B2B marketing, sales, and product leaders to explore and learn new ideas, pragmatic frameworks, and compelling data to fuel their customer-obsessed growth engines. At the event, honourees will present how they have grown revenue, accelerated time to market, and launched integrated global campaigns to achieve desired business outcomes.
This year’s Return On Integration Honours winner, Keysight Technologies, a leading provider of design, emulation, and test solutions, aligned their global sales, product, and marketing teams with a unified campaign strategy. During its keynote session, Keysight will share how cross-functional alignment enabled the firm to deliver consistent messaging, improve the quality of its leads, and drive efficient digital programmes across the globe.
“We worked closely with Forrester analysts to improve our overall campaign planning process,” said Sarah Calnan, senior director, global marketing demand center at Keysight. “As a result of this collaboration, we improved the targeting, messaging, and execution of our campaigns, while also increasing alignment with our sales and product organisations. Using Forrester’s Change Management and Global Demand Centre Implementation models, we combined our marketing communications and digital teams into a global virtual team. This approach has created a culture of knowledge-sharing and learning across teams — as well as improved speed of execution and the ability to measure and optimise our impact.”
These Programmes Of The Year winners will also share their success stories on stage at B2B Summit EMEA:
- NTT Ltd. will discuss how they developed a global account-based marketing centre of excellence that boosted alignment between sales and marketing, ultimately driving measurable improvements.
- Dun & Bradstreet will share their transformation journey and how they evolved from a siloed operation focused primarily on local delivery in market to a centralised function developing strategic campaigns customisable for both local and global markets.
“Our Return On Integration Honours winners and Programmes Of The Year winners are trailblazing organisations that tackle challenges head on to improve business outcomes,” said Paul Ferron, VP and research director at Forrester. “We look forward to hearing their success stories onstage at this year’s B2B Summit EMEA.”

IQM Announces Novel Quantum Error Correction Approach Toward Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing9.6.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Press release
IQM Quantum Computers, the global leader in superconducting quantum computers, has developed a novel quantum error-correcting code that achieves up to three orders of magnitude lower logical error rates than the surface code, also requiring up to eight times fewer physical qubits. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260609533201/en/ IQM´s breakthrough technology, called barbell codes. Unlike many alternative high-performance quantum error-correction approaches, the new code also maintains a comparatively low hardware complexity, marking a significant advancement toward scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing. Quantum error correction remains one of the defining challenges in the race toward practical quantum computing. Errors introduced by noise must be corrected faster than they accumulate, a requirement that previous approaches demanded either complex hardware or significant performance trade-offs, which IQM's

ISO/TC 251 Recognizes Ampowr as the Only BESS Operator With a Fully Integrated ISO Stack9.6.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Press release
ISO/TC 251, the international technical committee that authors the ISO 55000 family of asset management standards, has published a case study profiling Ampowr's integrated certification methodology. Authored by NEN, the Dutch national standards body, the study is now publicly available in the ISO/TC 251 case studies library alongside profiles of Rijkswaterstaat, the US Army Corps of Engineers, Novo Nordisk, and Veolia. ISO/TC 251 approached Ampowr directly. NEN subsequently conducted an in-depth interview with Executive Director Andrew Elwell, examining how Ampowr operates its five certifications (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 27001 and ISO 55001), as a single integrated system rather than separate compliance silos. "To our knowledge we are the only provider globally with this complete value stack visible in the market," said Andrew Elwell, Executive Director of Ampowr. "We have actively sought a peer that holds BESS hardware, energy management software, energy trading and asset

Bial Reports Topline Results From ACTIVATE Phase 2b Study in GBA‑Associated Parkinson’s9.6.2026 09:00:00 EEST | Press release
Bial, an innovation-driven biopharmaceutical company focused on neurosciences and rare diseases, announced today that the Phase 2b ACTIVATE study of BIA 28-6156 (pariceract) in patients with Parkinson’s who have a pathogenic variant in the GBA1 gene (GBA-PD) did not meet its primary, nor the key secondary efficacy endpoints, meaning that BIA 28-6156 failed to slow the progression of GBA-PD versus placebo. BIA 28-6156 proved to be generally well tolerated in the study, with no unexpected safety concerns arising. While the study data provide valuable scientific information and contribute to a broader understanding of Parkinson’s biology, BIA 28-6156 did not demonstrate significant differentiation from placebo on the primary or key secondary endpoints measured. Based on the lack of demonstrated efficacy in this study, Bial has made the decision to discontinue further development of BIA 28-6156 for this indication. “We are disappointed with the outcome of the Phase 2b ACTIVATE study, as th
