The state-of-the-art TLC for LED® lighting system at Ullevaal Stadium has made Norway’s national stadium one of the few in the world with FIFA Quality Pro Certification.

Home to Norway’s national football team, Ullevaal Stadium opened in 1926 and has a rich history of hosting significant sporting and entertainment events. When stadium ownership at the Football Association of Norway (NFF) decided to upgrade the venue’s lighting, they envisioned a system with the most advanced LED technology for the best possible playing, viewing, and entertainment experience.

“Our main priorities for the new lighting system were that it was a modern and future-oriented system that created the perfect playing conditions for our players, is easy to use, and could put on exciting light shows,” said Jørgen Søgård, Chief Technology Officer at Ullevaal Stadium.

While the new system, which was designed by Musco and installed by Asto Elektro, achieved those goals, it also came with another significant benefit – certification through the FIFA Quality Programme for Floodlights.

Developed in collaboration with football associations, lighting industry leaders, and test institutes around the world, the FIFA Quality Programme for Floodlights certifies that a lighting system meets elevated, specified standards of quality and performance.

As the first-ever FIFA Preferred Provider for Floodlight Systems, Musco custom designed the TLC for LED® system at Ullevaal to achieve those performance standards, making it one of just a small handful of stadiums worldwide with the designation.

“Ullevaal Stadium holds a special place in the hearts of Norwegians, and that was something the NFF and everyone involved in the project wanted to honour,” said Chris Limpach, Musco’s Director of Europe, Middle East, and Africa Business. “The high standards they set along with the FIFA designation just demonstrate their commitment to providing the best possible stadium experience. It was an exceptional project to be a part of.”

Logical Intelligence Achieves 76 Percent on Putnam Benchmark, Highlighting Shift Beyond Large Language Models to Language-free, Mathematically Grounded Models2.12.2025 16:15:00 EET | Press release

Over the last decade, artificial intelligence (AI) has been largely built around large language models (LLMs). These systems are based on a language and guess words in a chain in the form of tokens. As a result, they frequently hallucinate and require vast compute and power infrastructure to solve tasks. The moment systems like public safety, national infrastructure, and industrial automation need logic, LLMs break and introduce safety risks. Token-free language independent models represent a new direction for AI. They do not predict words. They search for correct solutions and require less compute. Logical Intelligence is the first company building exclusively around mathematically derived, non autoregressive EBM (Energy Based Model) reasoning. Today, Logical Intelligence announced that its Aleph tool achieved a 76 percent score on the Putnam Benchmark, one of the most demanding mathematical reasoning tests in artificial intelligence. The benchmark measures a model’s ability to solve

Invisible IT Emerges as Workplace Transformation Evolves, Lenovo Research Finds2.12.2025 16:00:00 EET | Press release

The next step in workplace transformation is invisible technology that fades into the background so that support is automated and seamless, according to a Lenovo global survey of IT leaders released today.

Achieving Invisible IT, the newest report in Lenovo’s ongoing Work Reborn series, explores how AI and automation are redefining the digital workplace and employee experience. Of the IT leaders who participated, 79% aspire to deliver seamless, proactive support that minimizes disruption for employees, but only 21% have achieved predictive issue resolution. The results underscore an urgent need for organizations to remove digital barriers, simplify IT ecosystems, and adopt AI-enabled, hyper-personalized support that delivers a truly effortless employee experie
