Regulatory News:

IFF (NYSE:IFF) (Euronext Paris: IFF) (TASE: IFF), a leading innovator of taste, scent and nutrition, announced its intention to expand its Tastepoint by IFF model in multiple geographies around the world and provide localized service to the dynamic middle-market customers in a variety of locations. Leveraging Frutarom’s large and well-established client base, the Company will enhance its offering to those customers while maintaining focus on the specific needs of their local market.

“When we established Tastepoint by IFF in 2017, its aim was to serve North America’s mid-market companies in the quick and agile way their business model requires, but offering them the advantage of IFF technologies,” said Matthias Haeni, Taste CEO, IFF. “As we integrate Frutarom into the IFF family around the world, we have a great opportunity to replicate our Tastepoint go-to-market blueprint in key markets as we underscore our commitment to serving the dynamic mid-market customer. It is an exciting time at IFF, and this is another great example of the benefits our combination brings to customers.”

Tastepoint’s brand promise is based on “the perfect blend of heart and science” with a focus on servicing customers with the “can-do” approach of a smaller company but backed by expertise traditionally reserved for companies with more global reach. Like the original Tastepoint by IFF established in North America, the new Tastepoints will offer customers an increased product portfolio through IFF’s Taste Design. In addition to traditional flavors and total solutions, the offerings will leverage an expanded naturals portfolio that includes colors, food protection and health ingredients. The Company will provide more specifics as the individual sites open.

IFF Chairman & CEO Andreas Fibig said, “Since the creation of Tastepoint, we have seen the value of the ’small enough to care, big enough to make it happen’ approach and the impact that it has on its customers. By continuing to focus on the mid-market companies with in-depth knowledge of their local needs and challenges, we will help deliver on IFF’s Vision 2021 strategy that keeps the customer at the center of all we do.”

Blue Matter Launches Behavioral Science Center of Excellence to Decode and Predict Health Care Decisions in a Rapidly Evolving Biopharma Landscape30.9.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release

Blue Matter today announced the launch of its Behavioral Science Center of Excellence (BeSci CoE), a specialized capability within the Blue Matter Insights primary market research team. The CoE applies behavioral science as a strategic lens to decode the “why” behind the decisions made by healthcare professionals, patients, care partners, and other stakeholders. Biopharma decisions hinge on knowing why customers do what they do. Traditional research does a good job of capturing what stakeholders say but often misses the unconscious drivers, biases, emotions, and contexts that shape behavior. The result is an incomplete picture in the moments where clarity matters most, including when developing positioning strategies, planning product launches, and making major lifecycle decisions. "You don't need a survey to tell you that physicians see efficacy as the most important treatment decision driver," said Andrew Pilecki, Ph.D., Senior Market Research Director at Blue Matter. "What our clien

934 Embeds Bluefin Payment Security into Juno to Advance Secure, Connected Hospitality Payments30.9.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release

Bluefin, a global leader in payment and data security, and 934, a global provider of connected payment technology for the hospitality industry, today announced a partnership to integrate Bluefin’s payment security capabilities into Juno, 934’s hospitality payment platform. Hospitality businesses increasingly operate across connected payment environments spanning hotels, restaurants, resorts and other guest experiences. Behind those interactions are multiple systems, workflows and payment technologies that must work together while protecting sensitive payment data. Juno is designed to connect those experiences through a unified hospitality payment environment. By incorporating Bluefin’s security technology into the platform architecture, 934 can provide customers globally with access to PCI-validated point-to-point encryption (P2PE) for card-present payments and tokenization for protecting sensitive payment data. The result is a security-first approach in which payment protection is bui

Visioneering Technologies' New Contact Lens Trial Shows Landmark Results in Slowing Children's Nearsightedness30.9.2026 15:59:00 EEST | Press release

Visioneering Technologies, Inc. (VTI), a medical device company that designs and markets specialty contact lenses, will announce completed three-year results from PROTECT, a prospective, double-masked, multinational randomized controlled trial evaluating the company's NaturalVue® (etafilcon A) Multifocal 1 Day Contact Lens for slowing the progression of myopia, or nearsightedness, in children. Ashley Tuan, OD, MS, PhD, VTI's Chief Medical Officer, will present the full findings at the American Academy of Optometry's annual meeting in Anaheim. Myopia develops when a child's eye grows too long, causing distant objects to appear blurry, and it typically worsens through childhood. Faster progression is associated with a higher lifelong risk of more serious eye conditions, including retinal detachment and myopic maculopathy, a leading cause of permanent vision loss. Slowing that progression, even modestly, is considered clinically meaningful.3,4 Over three years, children who wore NaturalVu
