LONDON, July 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Google and Formula E announced today that the Generative AI hackathon that took place ahead of the 2024 Hankook London E-Prix has been awarded a Guiness World Record for the most participated in-person Generative AI hackathon; to which Ancoris emerged as winners.

“It’s easy to fall into the trap of feeling lucky to be named a winner at an event like this – where so many people take part; but the reality is that our teams do this type of work day-in-day-out, and are really good at it,” says Andre Azevedo, Ancoris CEO. “When the conversations we have with our customers focus so heavily on how we can help them solve business problems, it’s no surprise to me that our teams are able to deliver rapid prototypes to show how problems can be solved within a number of hours during a hackathon.”

Ancoris has been on a winning streak of late after being named a Google Cloud Public Sector Partner of the Year, recognised by The Sunday Times as a Best Place to Work, and most recently named a Leader for Data Analytics and Machine Learning in ISG Provider Lens™ Google Cloud Partner Ecosystem.

“AI has changed the way organisations approach the same or new problems, and, from a skills perspective, the continued evolution of this technology means we have to stay on top of upskilling and training,” says Belen Ripoll, Ancoris Chief People Officer. “This hackathon win is of course a win for Ancoris, but more importantly, a win for the individuals across our business who stretch and push themselves to solve customer problems in new ways every day – and a demonstration of just how good they are at what they do.”

“We’re proud partners of Google Cloud, who are constantly pushing the boundaries to innovate and deliver for our joint customers,” says Azevedo. “Hackathons are a fantastic way to demonstrate the art of the possible when it comes to AI – we are already delivering these types of engagements for our customers as a way to forge a path for AI adoption across their organisations – long may it continue.”

NCL (Formerly Natural Cure Labs) Unveils New Brand Identity, Reinforcing Its Position as a Leading Monolaurin Supplement Company

Published

on

By

Natural Cure Labs, one of the most recognized monolaurin supplement brands in the United States, is officially transitioning to NCL – the same company, same formulations, and same science-backed standards, under a streamlined name.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., April 25, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Natural Cure Labs, one of the most recognized monolaurin supplement brands in the United States, is officially transitioning to NCL. The company, founded in 2015, is adopting a streamlined brand identity while maintaining the same formulations, manufacturing standards, team, and commitment to quality its customers have trusted for more than a decade.

“NCL represents the quality, transparency, and innovation that our community expects from us. As we enter this new chapter, our commitment to our customers and our standards remains as strong as ever.”

NCL stands for Natural Cure Labs. The name change reflects how customers and the team already refer to the company. Over the past 10+ years, “NCL” has become the natural shorthand for Natural Cure Labs – and this transition formalizes that identity. This is a name change and visual evolution only. Ownership, leadership, formulations, and values remain unchanged.

Same Mission, Sharper Identity

This transition is not a departure from who the company is – it is a natural progression. The values that have guided NCL from the very beginning remain unchanged: clean-label quality, third-party testing, science-backed formulations, and an unwavering commitment to transparency. What is changing is how the company presents itself. In the months ahead, this rebrand will be accompanied by further updates across the brand experience – from visual identity and packaging to how NCL shows up across every channel and platform. Each of these changes will reflect the same standard of excellence customers have come to expect.

Each of these changes will reflect the same standard of excellence customers have come to expect.

More Than 10 Years of Trust

This evolution comes at a time of significant momentum. Since 2015, NCL has grown from a small startup into an award-winning wellness brand available nationwide through Amazon, Walmart, Target+, TikTok Shop, eBay, and other major marketplaces. Along the way, the company has reached milestones that reflect the trust its community has placed in it:

200,000+ customers served worldwide35+ million capsules sold7,000+ verified customer reviewsRecognition in the 2025 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companiesMultiple Stevie Awards from the American Business AwardsNamed a 2025 and 2026 Gator100 HonoreeThree-time Global 100 winner for Best Health & Wellness Nutrition Manufacturer

“This rebrand isn’t about changing who we are – it’s about evolving how we present ourselves to match the brand our customers already know and trust,” said Damon Sununtnasuk, Founder & CEO.

What This Means for Customers

For existing customers, nothing changes about the products they know and trust. The same formulations, manufacturing facilities, quality controls, and customer support team remain in place. Products sold as Natural Cure Labs and products sold as NCL are from the same company. Customers can continue to find NCL products on the company’s website and through Amazon, Walmart, Target+, Kroger, eBay, and other major marketplaces.

NCL is grateful for every customer who has been part of this journey and is excited for what is to come.

Over the course of the four-day launch event, DREAME NEXT will bring together leading voices from across technology, academia, investment, and innovation to explore the next stage of industry transformation. Discussions will center on how AI-driven applications are reshaping products from the ground up, whether the age of AI requires products to be fundamentally reimagined, how intelligent technologies will redefine the foundations of manufacturing productivity, and what the next decade of human technological evolution may look like.

Featured speakers include AI pioneer Sebastian Thrun (Google X, Udacity), tech futurist Robert Scoble (Microsoft), Meta design leader Julie Zhuo, AI strategist William Fong (Microsoft), and business veteran James W. Keyes (7-Eleven, Blockbuster). The lineup also features Turing Award winner David Patterson, NASA rocket scientist Sylvia Acevedo, Stanford GSB’s Yossi Feinberg, economist Barry Eichengreen, tech journalist Rebecca A.
