The Onshape Education plans are the educational versions of PTC’s Software as a Service product, designed to enable computer-aided design (CAD) activities in a remote learning environment. The Education Standard plan has been free to educational institutions since 2016 and is available to students and educators who want to use professional-grade CAD that is completely online. The newly released Education Enterprise plan builds upon the Standard plan with features designed to enable universities and K-12 schools to launch, manage, and scale CAD activities across entire institutions.
“With online education being a necessity right now, I am making the full switch to Onshape so that my students don't lose any instructional time due to software constraints if they have to learn remotely from home,” said David Vinopal, Technology Education Teacher and Department Chair, Derry Area School District, Pennsylvania.
He added, “Using the Onshape Education Enterprise plan will help me manage all of the students whether they are physically in the school building or working from home. Since there is no major installation or download required, I am pleased to know that my students will be able to log into the software and begin learning on day one.”
The Onshape Education Enterprise Plan is easily scaled across large classes, departments, and institutions, and as a cloud-based platform, it requires no downloads, installs, or upgrades. Platform analytics provide visibility into student usage and activity, and administrative features allow educators to easily manage and share permissions within the institution's private domain.
“As a parent of two school-aged children myself, it is clear this school year will be unlike any other,” said Kathleen Mitford, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, PTC. “By providing large-scale educational institutions with access to the Onshape Education Enterprise plan free-of-charge, we hope to enable teachers to continue their STEM-based, CAD lesson plans, whenever and wherever needed.”

TreviPay announces the launch of its Pay by Invoice solution for Visa-issuing banks, enabling issuers to capture a greater share of the $58 trillion North American B2B payments market. Through this collaboration with Visa, a world leader in digital payments, TreviPay’s order-to-cash automation technology combines with Visa’s commercial payment capabilities to help issuers move fragmented B2B spend into strategic, issuer-financed, invoice-based transactions. A Murphy Research study, found 26% of corporate payments are still made with checks or rely on manual legacy ACH processes. The study also shows 78% of global B2B buyers need customization or control in their payments and invoicing workflows, with 61% preferring to pay on net terms. Pay by Invoice helps banks meet these expectations by providing suppliers with early payment (generally within two days of invoicing) while enabling buyers to settle on negotiated terms such as 30, 60, or 90 days.

Agendia, Inc., a leader in precision oncology for breast cancer, today announced that the updated NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology1 (NCCN Guidelines®) now recognize that MammaPrint® + BluePrint® can help identify a subset of hormone receptor positive, HER2-negative (HR+/HER2–) early-stage breast cancer (EBC) patients most likely to benefit from anthracycline-based chemotherapy. “I am delighted that oncologists finally have a way to identify HR+/HER2- early breast cancer patients who will benefit from anthracycline therapy," said Joyce A.

Philip Morris International Opens Dialogue on the Future of Human Cognition as a Defining Frontier in the Age of AI20.1.2026 12:03:00 EET | Press release
Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE: PM) today released a new white paper, “Human Cognition: The Next Frontier?”, inviting leaders across business, policy, and academia to join a global conversation on the evolving role of human cognition as artificial intelligence transforms work, society, and the economy. The white paper explores how human capabilities such as - critical thinking, creativity and adaptability - are poised to become the “superskill” of the future, driving progress in an era of human-machine collaboration. As AI automates routine tasks and augments knowledge work, PMI argues that nurturing and protecting cognitive capacity will be essential for organizations seeking to remain resilient and relevant.
