Launch of The Global Phosphorus Institute Looks to Provide Sustainability for Future Generations
15.6.2021 10:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) and Ibn Rochd Foundation for Science and Innovation (FIRSI), both based in Morocco, announced today the creation of the Global Phosphorus Institute (GPI). This world institute will undertake and facilitate research to develop sustainable phosphorus management strategies to ensure its availability for the present and future generations.
“Mohammed VI Polytechnic University is pleased to announce the creation of the Global Phosphorus Institute as an independent non-profit international institution,” said Hicham El Habti, the President of UM6P and President of the GPI. “GPI will promote global, science-based, inclusive dialogue and collaborations on subjects ranging from industrial phosphorus use and recycling to nutrient management and stewardship.“
By bringing together premier scientists, policy makers and communicators, industry leaders, educators and a variety of food security stakeholders, GPI’s platform will create and share innovative solutions to balance the need and use of phosphorus in the production of healthy food, animal feed and natural fibers as we protect our environment for a prosperous and equitable society in the spirit of the United Nation’s Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development.
Phosphorus is an essential element for all living organisms, and it cannot be substituted by another element. Phosphorus is the foundation of the bones, teeth and muscles of human, livestock and all mammals. DNA, the basic building block of life itself, consists of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus. It is critical to food and nutrition security as it affects plant growth and agricultural productivity.
Morocco, as the custodian of the planet’s largest known reserves of phosphate, the mineral form of phosphorus, has a unique duty to encourage and support global research, innovation and dialogue on this essential element and its vital role in life on earth.
“GPI looks forward to convening experts with a variety of diverse backgrounds and views to develop a variety of different approaches to phosphorus use,” said El Habti. “Sustainable and innovative use of phosphorus is essential to improve life on earth in all its forms.”

Experian Brings Trusted Agentic AI to Financial Services With the Launch of Agent Operating System™2.6.2026 16:05:00 EEST | Press release
Experian today announces the launch of the Agent Operating System™, a trusted agentic AI layer within the Experian Ascend Platform, unveiled at Money20/20 Europe. The Experian Agent Operating System is designed to help financial services organisations move successfully beyond AI experimentation and safely scale agentic AI to transform decision-making, customer experiences, and day-to-day operations. It enables AI agents from Experian, clients and partners to work together through a common trust, semantic and orchestration layer, supported by clear controls, auditability and human oversight. The launch comes as financial services firms accelerate investment in AI but continue to face major barriers to scaling adoption. New Experian research* shows that nearly half of global organisations (48%), say integrating data into AI workflows remains difficult, while a third cite poor data lineage and a further third say data is siloed across teams and systems. At the same time, consumers are inc
High Q Technologies and Creative Biostructure Announce Strategic Partnership Expanding Global Access to Quantum-Enabled EPR Spectroscopy2.6.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
High Q Technologies, a developer of quantum-enabled electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy systems, and Creative Biostructure, a structural biology Contract Research Organization, today announced a strategic partnership to support broader adoption of EPR spectroscopy for studying protein dynamics in pharmaceutical and biotechnology research. EPR spectroscopy is increasingly relevant as drug discovery turns toward disordered, flexible, and disease‑relevant protein systems that cannot be fully understood through static structural methods alone. However, broad adoption of EPR has historically been limited by instrument and workflow complexity, and the need for dedicated technical expertise in experimental design and data interpretation. Leveraging quantum sensor technology, FATHOM® EPR has overcome these challenges. By providing unique measurements of long‑range distances, FATHOM® EPR enables researchers to probe conformational ensembles and molecular motion implicated in toda
Lenovo Technology Powers FIFA World Cup 2026™ Operations and Strengthens AI-Driven Broadcast2.6.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
Lenovo today announced it is delivering a near real-time AI-powered infrastructure platform for the FIFA World Cup 2026™ to enable ultra-low-latency IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) video distribution in addition to the traditional cable and satellite broadcast, intelligent content delivery, and mission-critical decision-making across the event ecosystem and operations. As the world’s largest sporting event prepares for an unprecedented scale—spanning three host countries, featuring 48 teams, and engaging an estimated 6 billion fans—FIFA, broadcasters, and event operators will benefit from a live, always-on environment designed to perform at the highest level. As FIFA’s Official Technology Partner, Lenovo will deploy servers at the International Broadcast Center in Dallas, Texas, to help deliver the computing power, devices, and AI-driven solutions needed to bring every moment of every match to global audiences and support the most expansive broadcast operation in FIFA World Cup™ hi
New Tacton Research Reveals Only 7% of Manufacturers Have Achieved End-to-End Value Chain Connectivity2.6.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
Tacton, a global leader in Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) solutions for manufacturers of complex, highly configurable products, today released its annual State of Manufacturing report, revealing that rising product complexity is exposing critical cross-functional gaps despite continued investment in digital transformation and AI. Based on a survey of 280 manufacturing leaders in eight countries, the research found that 67% now describe their products as “very” or “extremely” complex, a 20-point increase in just one year. At the same time, only 7% use the same product configuration rules across every team and system involved in selling and building products, which is critical for reducing margin risk because of siloed functions and data. The report highlights a growing industry reality: while digital transformation has modernized operations, rising complexity is exposing disconnects between systems, team, and data throughout the manufacturing lifecycle. "Digital transformation laid the f

Across healthcare systems, determining whether a treatment is medically necessary, what level of care a patient requires, and whether that care will be approved remains a slow, manual, and often inconsistent process. Known as utilization management, this function sits at the heart of healthcare operations—but is still heavily reliant on fragm
