EIG, a leading institutional investor in the global energy and infrastructure sectors, today announced the final close of EIG Senior Infrastructure Debt Fund VI (“SIDF VI”) at $1.9 billion, nearly double the size of its predecessor fund.

SIDF VI seeks to make directly originated, senior secured debt investments across a broad range of sectors, including power generation, renewable energy, energy transition infrastructure, midstream and other critical infrastructure, with a primary focus on opportunities in the United States and Europe.

CoreTrust Expands International Presence, Extends Global Procurement Platform Across Europe9.9.2026 15:00:00 EEST | Press release
CoreTrust, a premier group purchasing organization (GPO) with more than 20 years of leveraging data-driven procurement intelligence and $7 billion in aggregated spend, today announced the expansion of CoreTrust Europe and its procurement platform to the United Kingdom and key European markets, including France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland. While members can enroll when headquartered in these seven markets, CoreTrust’s supplier partners deliver negotiated coverage that reaches members well beyond them. This strategic international expansion answers direct demand from CoreTrust’s private equity partners and multinational members to extend the company’s proven model into large, still-underserved European markets — the same demand-led path CoreTrust has followed for nearly two decades in the United States. CoreTrust Europe features nine trusted supplier partners across core indirect spend categories — including Dell, FedEx, and Lyreco, among others — enabling

Bracco Imaging, a global pharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures, and markets innovative healthcare solutions, today announced the expansion of its BubbleGen™ cell selection portfolio with the launch of the BubbleGen CD3+ T Cell Selection Kit. The kit, built on Bracco's microbubble technology, can enable new cell therapy workflows, including a highly scalable and cost-effective approach to manufacturing CAR-T cell therapies. This marks the first of multiple planned expansions of the BubbleGen family of cell selection solutions following the launch of its early access program in May this year. Cell selection is a critical step in cell therapy manufacturing, but the industry standard magnetic bead-based approach adds complexity, time, and cost to workflows – the enemies of scale. BubbleGen is Bracco’s response to industry demand for non-magnetic bead-based alternatives, providing a gentle selection method that minimizes cell perturbation for more reliable downstream applicatio

However, confidence in agentic commerce shifts when payments brands come into consideration. Visa emerged as the most trusted brand for AI-powered payments with 61% of respondents saying they would trust Visa to handle agentic transactions. The findings suggest that while consumers are intrigued by agentic commerce, trust remains the key factor determining whether adoption moves from possibility to reality.
