NGD Studios Evolves into Nimble Giant Entertainment With Sights set on Global Stage
24.9.2019 10:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Today leading developer NGD Studios announced that it has rebranded to become Nimble Giant Entertainment . The move cements its status as an experienced work for hire studio in addition to a developer of its own IP and now officially as a video game publisher. The announcement comes after a period of growth and months of strategic planning. With the help of former Rockstar executive Jeronimo Barrera, who joins Nimble Giant as VP of Product Development, the senior leadership team is poised to steer the company into its 18th year of business.
“The company has been growing steadily over the last few years. We are simply not the indie dev studio we were - even 5 years ago. We’ve focused on adding experienced staff to our already strong teams and investing in our employees to ensure continuous learning, helping them to grow both personally and professionally. At the same time, we’ve crossed to the publishing side, both for our self-owned IP and externally developed games. We have evolved as a company and it makes sense to celebrate this transition with an updated look and corporate brand,” commented Martin Cao, CEO of Nimble Giant. “And of course, we are thrilled that Jeronimo has joined our team. His background and the valuable experience he brings with him as an executive in AAA game development will help us grow into a world-class video game entertainment company. With plans to expand our footprint both here and in the US, publish our own award-winning arena shooter, Quantum League, as well as Saibot Studio’s 90’s FPS throwback, Hellbound, 2020 is going to be an incredibly exciting year,” he added.
“After 20 productive years at Rockstar, it’s a dream come true to return to my roots and create new and exciting games alongside my fellow Argentine developers,” said Jerónimo Barrera, Nimble Giant’s new VP of Product Development. “Nimble Giant have a great team of truly unique and creative minds, and I’m excited for what the future holds.”

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
