This year’s event is highlighted by inriver’s new breed of PIM, an evolution of traditional product information management solutions. As a result of this new breed of PIM, inriver announced continued product innovation to the inriver PIM platform, including ChatGPT functionality to create efficiencies for augmenting product data, and further showcased the power of its now-available syndication capabilities. These innovations have allowed inriver to deliver even more operational efficiency, built-in digital shelf analytics, expanded sales opportunities, and greater sustainability benefits.
“We face unprecedented demand for more sustainability from brands, retailers, and manufacturers as a result of our increasingly circular economy. PIMpoint Europe 2023 comes at such a pivotal moment for our community,” said Niels Stenfeldt, inriver CEO. “As the world prepares for the European Union’s new Digital Product Passport initiative, the new breed of PIM turns global demands for supply chain transparency into new growth drivers for manufacturing companies. There is no better time to welcome our peers across so many industries for meaningful conversations for the future.”
Joining inriver are customer and partner showcases led by leading brands such as Michelin, Victorinox, Öob, Fluidra and more. These brands represent world-class PIM users that inriver helps create, enrich, and syndicate product information across a variety of channels and marketplaces.
Another brand, and inriver customer appearing at PIMpoint is Lantmännen, Northern Europe’s leader in agriculture, machinery, bioenergy and food products. Owned by 18,000 Swedish farmers and with 10,000 employees, Lantmännen has operations in over 20 countries and an annual revenue of approximately SEK 60 billion.
“Lantmännen has a long-term approach to farming, taking an active role in creating more sustainable energy and food supply. We take responsibility from field to fork and focus on issues that are of importance for sustainable, profitable, and thriving farming,” said Håkan Jägbrink, Platform Manager for the IT Commercial Backbone at Lantmännen. “As we are building a sustainable value chain across multiple companies and industries, Lantmännen requires our product data to be complete and accurate. The inriver PIM solution allows us to connect the data across people, processes, and our metadata structure for our 7 different companies. The inriver PIM’s flexible, elastic data model powers our product journey to drive efficiencies and cost reductons. Further, inriver is developing in exactly the right direction for our upcoming requirements.”

Accertify, a leading fraud decisioning provider whose Predictive Yes Platform helps merchants say yes to more good customers, more revenue, and more growth, today announced the release of its Global Air Travel Fraud Report: Q2 2026, a quarterly analysis examining how fraud pressure varies across global airline markets based on departure city at time of booking.

The Q2 findings reveal that fraud pressure continues to vary significantly by market, with the most notable shift occurring across the Middle East and Africa.

Forrester’s 2027 Budget Planning Guides: After A Year Of Caution, Business And Tech Leaders Are Ready To Invest Again15.7.2026 12:00:00 EEST | Press release
According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) 2027 Budget Planning Guides, business and technology leaders are approaching 2027 with renewed confidence as they increasingly accept volatility as a permanent feature of the business environment. After a year of more cautious spending, more than 80% of leaders expect their budgets to increase over the next 12 months, with as many as one-quarter anticipating growth of 10% or more. But planning in the age of AI demands more than bigger budgets: Increasing investment without modernizing operating models, strengthening data foundations, and improving AI readiness will only accelerate fragmented data, duplicated work, and technical debt. To realize AI’s full potential, leaders must rethink their strategies and prioritize investments in operational foundations, governance, and experimentation that drive tangible outcomes. This year, optimism is widespread across functions: 82% of technology decision-makers and 91% of marketers expect budget increases
Post-Quantum’s Algorithm - Classic McEliece - Achieves Global ISO Standardization to Protect the World From Quantum Cyber Attack15.7.2026 11:00:00 EEST | Press release
It’s proven that today’s encryption is vulnerable to attack by a sufficiently mature quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm - a catastrophic event commonly known as Q-Day. Even before such a cryptographically relevant quantum computer emerges it is known that adversaries are stealing encrypted data now, which can be decrypted later - also known as Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL). Google’s recent use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimise Shor’s algorithm reduces the number of physical qubits required to break today’s encryption, therefore shortening the timeline to Q-Day. This has led prominent experts to estimate today’s encryption may be broken as-soon-as the next three years. It’s against this backdrop that the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) has included the Classic McEliece algorithm as part of its standard for Asymmetric Ciphers (ISO/IEC 18033-2). Organisations from ISO’s 177 member states can now upgrade to Classic McEliece using an international s
Thredd Joins The Visa Agentic Ready Programme, Bringing Agent Network Readiness To Issuers Across Europe, Starting With Zilch15.7.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Press release
Thredd, the AI-first issuer processing platform, today announced it has joined the Visa Agentic Ready programme, enabling issuers across Europe to participate in agent-initiated payments without rebuilding their payments infrastructure. Consumer payments platform Zilch will be among the first issuers on the platform to enable agent-initiated payments for its cardholders. As a processor and enabler, Thredd sits at the trust layer of the payments ecosystem. By joining the programme, Thredd is ready to support Visa and its clients as the market moves into agentic commerce. Agentic commerce introduces a new type of payment initiator: An AI agent acting on a cardholder's behalf. The core payments principles do not change. Cardholder permission, issuer approval, authentication and fraud monitoring all still apply. What changes is how trust is established and enforced at the point an agent transacts. Taking a Zilch customer as an example, a cardholder might ask an AI agent to find a product w
