CloudBlue, a leading cloud ecosystem technology company which powers some of the largest commerce platforms for cloud and IT channel products globally, today announced an agreement with CloudSense, provider of one of the market’s most powerful Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) platforms.

CloudSense has a well-established footprint within the telecommunications industry, with customers including prominent regional and international brands such as BT, Starhub and Vodafone Ziggo. By providing a direct integration from CloudBlue Connect™ to the CloudSense CPQ platform, CloudSense’s community of telecommunications customers will be able to tap into a new pool of ICT offerings and scale their business faster than ever.

The direct integration between CloudBlue Connect and CloudSense CPQ will allow telecommunications providers to enrich their own portfolio of B2B solutions more efficiently.

Telecommunications and ICT providers will be able to create simple and easy quotes and contracts via CloudSense CPQ without the need to rekey orders or engage in manual processes.

CloudBlue will benefit from this new relationship through expanded exposure of its 200+ XaaS digital solutions to the telecommunications community. The initiative clears the way for CloudSense’s customers to access the tools they need to provide businesses of all sizes with the anything-as-a-service (XaaS) offerings that have surged in demand post-pandemic.

“As telcos look for new ways to diversify their offerings, cross-platform integration becomes key to providing end-users the best in Cloud. CloudBlue’s new agreement with CloudSense marks the latest in a series of innovative and creative relationships forming across Cloud to the continued delight of channel partners,” said Tarik Faouzi, senior vice president of CloudBlue.

“CloudSense recognizes the importance of bringing to market innovative solutions that address challenges in our focus verticals. We believe the CloudSense-CloudBlue agreement establishes the first Marketplace of its kind to facilitate commercial innovation across the communications ecosystem. This will give communications service providers broader access to a global network of channel partners and remove the need for manual input when drafting quotes and contracts,” said Jonathan English, CEO, CloudSense.

Octane AI Launches Phoenix, an AI Quiz Builder That Builds, Checks and Improves Quizzes for Shopify Brands21.10.2026 20:15:00 EEST | Press release

Octane AI, the quiz and zero-party data platform for Shopify brands, launched Phoenix in October, its biggest release to date. Merchants describe the quiz they want or upload what they already have, and Phoenix builds it, checks it, personalizes the results and keeps improving it with experiments. One beta customer turned a single document into a complete product-launch quiz: “I attached it to Phoenix, and it built the whole thing, all the pages. It understood everything, not just the text but the logic behind it.” Across all live Octane AI quizzes, 15% of shoppers who finish a quiz place an order. Yet building one has meant hours of writing rules by hand, custom code for design and clicking through every path to find broken results. Phoenix handles those hard parts, from building a quiz to improving it after launch. “Since day one, we've kept track of every piece of feedback from our merchants: what frustrates them and what they wish Octane AI could do. Phoenix is the result, and it k

Future Health and Bridge for Billions to Launch Programme Strengthening Health Entrepreneurship in Emerging Markets21.10.2026 18:50:00 EEST | Press release

Future Health – A Global Initiative by Abu Dhabi and Bridge for Billions will launch a new entrepreneurship programme designed to strengthen promising health ventures in emerging markets and help locally-developed solutions reach more people. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261021719421/en/ The first phase of the programme will target around 50 entrepreneurs leading late-incubation to early-acceleration ventures in Africa and Asia. Emerging markets are home to significant health needs and entrepreneurial potential, yet many promising ventures can struggle to access the capital, specialist guidance, and health-system connections required to grow. WIPO’s Global Innovation Index 2024 reported that Latin America and Africa together accounted for around 3% of global venture-capital deals in the first half of 2024, while venture-capital values fell by 19% in Asia-Pacific and 80% in Africa.

Hephaestus Exits Stealth Having Raised $17.2M to Supply Rare-Earth-Free HTS Superconductors and Build Low-Cost Fusion Power21.10.2026 17:48:00 EEST | Press release

Hephaestus today emerged from stealth with solutions that address two of the largest cost drivers in fusion power: the high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets that confine the plasma, and the edge-localized modes (ELMs – major plasma instabilities) that drive up the cost and complexity of conventional reactor designs. The company also announced the close of a new funding round led by CiRi Ventures. Hephaestus was founded in London in 2019 with a single mission – to help make fusion energy cheap enough to compete on the grid. Its AI plasma solver initially swept the full space of tokamak design parameters, unconstrained by the legacy designs and materials much of the industry is already committed to, and identified negative triangularity (NT), which inverts the D-shaped plasma used in most tokamaks, as the most likely configuration for low-cost fusion energy. Subsequent results from facilities worldwide, including the DIII-D, JET, and SMART, have shown that NT can deliver strong
