New Research Reveals the Next Wealth Management Divide: AI Rewards Firms Built to Scale10.6.2026 13:34:00 EEST | Press release
The next competitive divide in banking, wealth and asset management will not be defined by innovation alone, but by firms’ ability to scale it profitably. That is the central finding of new research that Objectway, a global wealthtech partner for banking, wealth and asset management firms, conducted in collaboration with FT Longitude, a specialist provider of thought leadership and research services. The report, Built to Scale, is based on a survey of 300 senior professionals across banks, wealth and asset managers in the UK, continental Europe and Canada. Altough digital transformation and AI adoption are advancing rapidly across the industry, many firms are struggling to translate investment into repeatable, profitable growth. The findings point to a market entering a new phase of competition, where scalable executionis becoming more important thaninnovation capacity alone. Reflecting on this shift, Luigi Marciano, Founder and Group CEO of Objectway, commented: “For years, the indust
From Cutting-Edge Research to Industry: Focused Energy Plans Spin-Off of Sourcelight10.6.2026 12:38:00 EEST | Press release
Following its successful USD 240 million financing round, Focused Energy is continuing to systematically advance the industrialization of laser fusion as its core business. At the same time, the company plans to consolidate its activities in the field of laser-driven radiation sources into an independent entity under the name Sourcelight. With this move, Focused Energy is laying the groundwork for the industrial transfer of selected technological building blocks emerging from its laser fusion development. The spin-off demonstrates how cutting-edge research can give rise to new industry: scientific excellence is translated into industrial applications with strong value creation and growth potential. Sourcelight is intended to bring the LDRS (Laser-Driven Radiation Sources) technology developed by Focused Energy into targeted industrial applications. The technology combines laser-driven high-energy X-rays and neutrons in a single system. This enables not only high-resolution imaging, but

LTM Introduces BlueVerse™ Currency to Enable Outcome-Based Pricing in the Agentic AI Era10.6.2026 11:30:00 EEST | Press release
LTM, the Business Creativity partner to the world’s largest enterprises, today introduced BlueVerse™ Currency, an AI-linked commercial model that prices enterprise work by outcomes rather than effort consumed as enterprises scale agentic AI across core processes. BlueVerse Currency brings together the full BlueVerse stack—People (expertise on demand), Accelerators (reusable assets that speed delivery), Agents (autonomous AI workforce), Platforms (orchestration layer to scale delivery), and Tokens (compute and model usage)—into a single commercial construct. It introduces outcome-linked pricing tied to measurable business results, enabling shared productivity gains so clients can capture AI-driven efficiency value. The model also supports fungible resourcing, enabling reallocation mid-contract to evolving priorities, and faster reinvestment, with savings redirected into innovation. It is underpinned by a hybrid structure with fixed and variable pricing components, supported by use-case–
