Published

on

Chaberton–Sunscape completes first project sale in Italy, marking a key step in a growing pipeline of distributed solar developments across the countryThe projects will generate 13.5 GWh of clean electricity per year, enough to power the equivalent of 5,000 homes and avoiding 140,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions over 30 years

ROCKVILLE, Md. and MILAN, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The joint venture between Chaberton Energy and Italy-based developer Sunscape announced today the sale of the partnership’s first two solar projects in Italy. The successful development of the Ponente and Maestrale projects represents a significant foray by the two companies into the promising Italian solar energy market.

The solar plants, located near Bari and Bologna, Italy, will power the equivalent of 5,000 Italian homes annually.

Both projects benefit from direct connection to the existing medium-voltage grid and are on track to power up later this year. Maestrale, sited just outside Bologna, is a 7.4 megawatt direct current (MWdc) project while Ponente, near Bari, is a 1.3 MWdc project. Both projects are ground-mounted and use high performance bifacial photovoltaic modules and one-axis tracking systems to maximize the energy production. Generating around 13.5 GWh of clean electricity per year, the two plants will supply the annual needs of approximately 5,000 Italian households and avoid nearly 140,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions over 30 years.

Green Utility SpA, an Italian independent power producer, acquired both projects and will be responsible for constructing and operating the plants. “We are thrilled for this milestone,” said Alessia Incagnoli, head of business development for Green Utility SpA, who managed the transaction together with Ruben Oxenham, project developer. “Adding more projects like these to the grid is an important step towards the ecological transition.”

Green Utility and the Chaberton–Sunscape team are already exploring opportunities to collaborate on additional projects currently under development.

“I am particularly proud of the Chaberton-Sunscape joint venture, which represents a great step for both companies in the development of renewable energy in Italy,” said Stefano Ratti, CEO of Chaberton Energy, who himself is originally from the Piemonte region of Italy. “Both companies share a commitment to doing well and doing good in the communities in which we operate, and the projects we are developing meet both these standards.”

The two projects are the first of what is expected to be more than 30 MWdc of solar to be ready for construction through the partnership within the next year. They are among more than 100 MWdc of projects that the companies are currently developing.

“These first two projects reached ready-to-build status in less than two years from initial site identification, demonstrating the efficiency of our development approach,” said Giancarlo Gentile, CEO of Sunscape. “We are focused on projects up to 10 MWdc that benefit from simplified permitting procedures and shorter development timelines, and we look forward to expanding our presence in the Italian market with further successes.”

Electrolux Group to end production in Jászberény, Hungary

Published

By

STOCKHOLM, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Electrolux Group has decided to end production at the Jászberény, Hungary factory, which manufactures built-in and freestanding refrigeration products. Production is expected to cease by the end of 2026. A restructuring charge of approximately SEK 0.6 billion, of which SEK 0.3 billion is cash related, will be reported as a negative non-recurring item affecting operating income for Region Europe, Middle East & Africa and Asia-Pacific in the second quarter of 2026.

The decision follows a review of the company’s strategy to strengthen cost competitiveness and increase agility through production footprint optimization. This is driven by the current competitive environment, which is impacted by stagnant market demand, price pressure, and increasing constraints on cost competitiveness. The planned site closure will impact approximately 600 employees.

Electrolux Group will fully meet demand for refrigeration products by leveraging existing operations as well as working with external OEM partners. The decision does not affect the local sales and marketing activities managed by the Budapest office. 

This is information that AB Electrolux is obliged to make public pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation. The information was submitted for publication, through the agency of the contact person set out below, on 22-04-2026 08:30 CET.

MediaGo and hipto Secure Another Les Cas d’Or Gold in Performance Marketing

Published

on

By

SAN FRANCISCO, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, MediaGo, a global intelligent advertising platform, and hipto, France’s premier lead generation specialist, won Gold in the “Content and Vertical Industries” category at the prestigious French digital marketing awards, Les Cas d’Or. Recognized for a benchmark performance marketing campaign in the health insurance sector, this award—voted on by over 40 brand marketing directors—serves as further authoritative validation of MediaGo’s technical prowess and service capabilities in the European market.

Following previous wins of Gold in the Native Advertising category and Bronze in the Banking & Insurance Acquisition category, this latest industry honor marks another significant milestone. It underscores that MediaGo’s localized native advertising capabilities, along with its ability to apply deep learning technologies in complex user acquisition scenarios across France and Europe, have earned high acclaim from both the market and industry experts, cementing its position at the forefront of the industry.

The French health insurance market is highly competitive and saturated. Local advertisers have long relied heavily on search and social media channels, resulting in persistently high CPAs and significant traffic inflation. Addressing these industry pain points, MediaGo and hipto collaborated to pioneer a new growth trajectory, establishing the open web as the third core acquisition pillar alongside search and social. By leveraging premium local news and information publishers in France, they seamlessly integrated native ads into media environments, providing the insurance sector with a scalable, replicable growth blueprint to effectively counter traffic inflation.

This award-winning campaign focused on scaling the acquisition of high-intent leads in the insurance sector. It successfully overcame three structural challenges inherent in traditional bidding models: reactive algorithms, high cold-start costs, and the difficulty of balancing scale with efficiency. This achievement further validates MediaGo’s strong operational capabilities and its innovation in native advertising within the French market.

Powered by five deep learning models and the newly upgraded SmartBid 3.0, MediaGo precisely predicts the conversion probability of each ad impression in real time. Paired with hipto’s high-frequency creative iterations (3–5 times per week), MediaGo continuously identifies high-potential audience clusters, further enhancing targeting precision. In addition, SmartBid 3.0’s unique “global learning” mechanism reduced the cold start learning cycle for new campaigns by 50%. This partnership enabled campaigns to achieve stable monetization from day one.

By utilizing SmartBid 3.0’s MaxCV mode, hipto’s campaigns achieved a dual breakthrough in both scale and efficiency. Data shows an immediate 32% uplift in monthly conversion volume and a threefold increase in lead volumes over the longer term, successfully expanding market share within a saturated vertical. Additionally, native ad CTR surpassed the industry benchmark by 53%, demonstrating the platform’s ability to precisely target high-intent users. Notably, even with a 48% increase in mobile budget allocation, CPA decreased by 2.6%, proving that volume scaling and margin preservation can coexist.

Leo Ye, Head of Partnerships at MediaGo, stated: “Winning the Les Cas d’Or Gold for Performance Marketing is a strong endorsement of MediaGo’s technical strength and localized service capabilities. We remain committed to a performance-driven, advertiser-centric approach, deepening our footprint in the French market to help advertisers break through growth bottlenecks in a saturated landscape.”

Looking ahead, MediaGo will continue to deepen its presence in Europe. With deep learning at its core, the platform aims to continuously enhance its native advertising capabilities and localized operations, delivering tangible value to global advertisers and empowering partners to achieve high-quality, sustainable business growth in complex market environments.

About MediaGo

MediaGo is a leading intelligent advertising platform. Based on deep learning algorithms, MediaGo empowers businesses of all scales, creating tangible value for companies. With 12 operational centers worldwide, MediaGo has successfully provided localized and comprehensive business growth services to over 10,000 partners.

Dandelion Civilization launches a Human Intelligence Platform to make talent risk visible before it becomes expensive

Published

on

By

New Human Intelligence Platform helps employers assess role fit, team dynamics, and early behavioral risk to avoid costly talent decisions.

AMSTERDAM, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dandelion Civilization today announced the launch of its Human Intelligence Platform at HR Tech Europe 2026, introducing a new approach to talent management and workforce decision-making, built around behavioral intelligence rather than instinct alone.

The launch addresses a problem many organizations already understand but still struggle to solve. Talent mis-matches are expensive, early misalignment is difficult to correct, and quality of hire remains hard to improve because the real consequences often appear months after a decision is made. Industry estimates frequently place the total cost of hiring a new employee at several times the position’s salary, especially when poor fit leads to replacement, lost productivity, and disruption.

While much of the HR technology market has focused on the hiring stage itself, Dandelion Civilization is taking a different route. The platform is designed to help employers understand how people are likely to perform in real conditions by revealing how they think, act, and interact across hiring, team development, and workforce risk.

At the core of the platform is a behavioral intelligence layer that creates continuous, evolving profiles of individuals and teams. Rather than relying only on CVs, interviews, or static questionnaires, Dandelion Civilization uses behavioral simulations to surface signals around decision making, collaboration, pressure response, and alignment. According to the company’s launch materials, the product is built around three core areas: hiring intelligence, team dynamics, and behavioral risk. It is designed to support decisions before day one, strengthen visibility into how individuals affect team performance, and identify patterns that may point to conflict, disengagement, or misalignment before those issues damage business outcomes.

“We are not creating another assessment tool,” said Dmitry Zaytsev, Founder and CEO of Dandelion Civilization. “We are building the infrastructure for better talent decisions. Companies often discover the true cost of misalignment too late, when trust weakens, performance slips, or the hiring process has to begin again. We want to make those signals visible earlier, when organizations can still act on them.”

The company says the platform is designed to fit into existing workflows without technical friction. Employers send a link, candidates complete an online simulation, and talent teams receive a decision-ready report. The launch deck states that the simulation takes around 20 to 40 minutes, requires no integration, and works in any browser.

While the platform begins with hiring, Dandelion Civilization is positioning the launch as the first step toward a broader layer of human capital intelligence that can support team design, talent development, and earlier visibility into people related risk over time.

About Dandelion Civilization
Dandelion Civilization is building a Human Intelligence Platform that helps organizations understand how people think, act, and interact across the employment lifecycle. Using behavioral simulations and digital profiling, the platform supports hiring, team development, and earlier visibility into workforce risk. Its launch materials describe the product as a system designed to reduce talent blind spots and reveal behavior beyond profiles.
