PLEASE SEE THE IMPORTANT NOTICE SECTION OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT

RA’ANANA, Israel, June 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NextVision Stabilized Systems Ltd. (TASE: NXSN) (“Nextvision” or the “Company”), a growth technology company that develops, manufactures, and markets stabilized day-and-night imaging solutions for ground and aerial platforms such as micro and mini UAVs and drones, offering one of the world’s best weight/size-to-performance ratios, today announced that a group of current shareholders of NextVision, including founders and members of the management team – namely Chen Golan, Michael Grosman, Boris Kipnis, and Nachman Benchaya (the “Selling Shareholders”) – announced their intention to sell approximately a total of $200m in existing shares (the “Placing Shares”) in NextVision, representing approximately 2% of the Company’s outstanding shares, to Global and Israeli institutional investors through a bookbuilding process (the “Placing”).

Commented Chen Golan, Founder and Chairman of NextVision, “Over the past 17 years, the founding shareholders of NextVision, who continue to lead the business, have been instrumental in building NextVision into a high-quality market leader, and we remain fully committed to the Company’s long-term success and its evolution into a global leader in the drone market. This transaction represents a partial and coordinated monetisation of a portion of the founders’ holdings in NextVision, while all preserving a very meaningful ownership position and strong alignment with shareholders. At the same time, we have seen strong interest from international investors in our shares and wanted to use this opportunity to broaden the Company’s investor base with additional long-term shareholders. Through this process, we aim to improve trading liquidity, and support the Company’s continued growth, while maintaining significant exposure to and confidence in NextVision’s long-term prospects.”

The offer price and the final number of shares in the Placing will be determined through a bookbuilding process (the “Bookbuilding”).

Kroll Launches Geoeconomic Risk Index to Quantify the Business Impact of Global Uncertainty

New capability connects geopolitical and economic intelligence with Kroll data, analytics and expertise to assess impact on financial performance, risk and enterprise value

NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Kroll, the leading independent provider of financial and risk advisory solutions, today announced the launch of the Kroll Geoeconomic Risk Index (GRI), an authoritative headline measure that helps businesses and investors understand how geopolitical and economic risks could affect their operations, financial performance and value. The Index currently stands at 70.9 on its 0–100 scale, materially above its historical median of 50 and indicating significantly heightened geoeconomic pressure.

The GRI forms part of Kroll’s broader Geoeconomic Resilience Intelligence Platform (GRIP), which brings together external economic, geopolitical, market, policy and regulatory intelligence with Kroll’s proprietary data, analytics, modeling and expertise across valuations, risk and transactions. It is designed to go beyond monitoring events or identifying exposure by connecting developments in the external environment directly to the financial and strategic decisions facing individual businesses.

Through client-specific analysis, Kroll’s platform can assess how developments including tariffs, sanctions, regulatory change, conflict, supply-chain disruption and market volatility could potentially affect a business. The analysis can connect those developments to revenues, costs, cash flow, financing, deal economics, resilience and enterprise value, helping clients evaluate transactions, investments, operating plans and alternative scenarios. Clients can use the platform to examine an immediate event, stress-test a transaction, pre-emptively evaluate investment, compare alternative scenarios or monitor how changing conditions affect assumptions over time.

“Kroll is the first firm called when decisions are complex, contested or with material capital at risk and so the launch of the Geoeconomic Risk Index is a natural evolution for us. This new capability combines Kroll’s data and analytical technology with economic modeling and professional expertise, using AI to support evidence-led analysis. Together, this delivers unique insights that help clients make more informed decisions when operations, investments and capital are exposed to global change, and thus ultimately protecting people and deals while providing greater peace of mind,” says Jacob Silverman, Chief Executive Officer at Kroll.

“A significant external development rarely remains confined to one part of a business. Geopolitical and macroeconomic change is increasingly an input into financial decision-making rather than a separate risk discussion,” adds Matthew Corkery, Managing Director, Kroll Economics. “For a Chief Financial Officer, investor or board, knowing that risk has changed is only the beginning. They need to understand whether it changes the return on an investment, the cost of borrowing, the resilience of a business model or where capital should be deployed. Kroll sits at the intersection of value, risk and transactions, which means we can connect these questions rather than examine them in isolation.”

The Kroll GRI stood at 70.9 on 9 November 2026, 3.2 points above its October reading of 67.7, as heightened market-implied risk added to persistent energy pressure following the U.S. midterm elections.

It points to an important divergence: geopolitical, trade, commodity and energy pressures remain elevated, while broader financial conditions have so far been less affected. Following the U.S. midterm elections, financial-market volatility added to persistent energy pressure, sharpening the question of whether repricing remains contained or begins to affect credit conditions, investment plans and project delivery. Greater volatility challenges the resilience picture but does not itself establish tighter credit or weaker activity. Financing and investment are therefore immediate watchpoints.

How Fibocom Helped Bring Suntek’s Robotic Mowers into Mass Production

Published

on

By

MUNICH, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In a family garden, bare soil and fallen leaves can confuse a robotic mower’s understanding of the lawn. A low-hanging branch presents another challenge: detecting an obstacle is one thing, knowing how far away it is can be another. Across larger properties, reliable positioning and route planning become just as important as cutting the grass.

As electronica 2026 takes place in Munich, Fibocom and Suntek are highlighting the commercial progress of two robotic mower designs built on Fibocom’s established solutions: an entry-level monocular-vision model and a flagship combining stereo vision with RTK positioning.

For lawns up to 600 m², Fibocom’s monocular vision solution uses a single camera and AI algorithms to identify grass boundaries and obstacles, plan mowing routes and operate without buried perimeter wires. Its streamlined sensor design balances hardware cost, complexity and ease of deployment.

For larger, more complex gardens, Fibocom’s stereo vision and RTK solution adds depth perception and high-precision positioning. Stereo cameras capture spatial information about obstacles, including overhanging branches, while visual-inertial odometry (VIO) and RTK positioning support mapping and navigation.

Suntek’s flagship mower, powered by the Rockchip RK3576, integrates stereo cameras, RTK, an IMU and wheel odometry. It supports resume-mowing functionality and covers lawns up to 2,000 m².

Turning these capabilities into commercial products requires more than hardware integration. Fibocom supplies camera modules, algorithm boards, motor-drive boards and, for the flagship, an RTK board, alongside proprietary perception, positioning, navigation, path-planning and energy-management algorithms.

Real gardens also challenge algorithms in unexpected ways. Bare soil, fallen leaves, dark lines on the ground and thin dried leaves can interfere with lawn segmentation. Fibocom has refined its models through multiple rounds of training with challenging field samples, while improving back-and-forth mowing paths, missed-area mowing and resume-mowing logic.

Engineering support continues after production begins. Field feedback and operating logs inform root-cause analysis, software updates and validation, helping Suntek improve product performance in real-world environments.

Suntek’s monocular-vision mower has achieved commercial-scale deployment in Europe. Its stereo-vision and RTK flagship entered initial mass production in Q4 2025, with production continuing in 2026 and sales expanding into North America.

Mass production marks the beginning of continuous improvement through real-world use. As SUNTEK’s robotic mowers reach more gardens, Fibocom continues to support the company with proprietary algorithms, core hardware and ongoing engineering expertise, turning user feedback into improvements in perception, navigation and mowing performance. These refinements help SUNTEK deliver a more reliable user experience, earn user recognition and build market trust.

Climate Institute launches cutting-edge data tool tracking Canada’s progress toward building a clean economy

Published

on

By

Data tracker offers a new way to measure climate progress with dozens of leading indicators of Canada’s energy transition.

OTTAWA, ON, Nov. 12, 2026 /CNW/ — The Canadian Climate Institute has launched a first-of-its-kind data visualization tool that provides a new approach to climate progress tracking in Canada using leading and lagging indicators of clean technology adoption and emissions reductions.

The tool–called the Climate Progress Tracker–was developed by the Institute’s 440 Megatonnes project using more than 40 indicators of the country’s transition to a cleaner, more competitive economy. It provides close-to-real-time data across five major signals of climate progress: electrification, clean energy, emissions progress, industrial performance, and the clean economy.

Tracking both leading and lagging indicators across these five signals makes it clear where efforts are showing promise, and where stronger policy is needed to accelerate Canada’s energy transition and build a cleaner economy. Some leading indicators show bright spots of progress as the country deploys and exports more clean technology. Broader trends are mixed or negative, however, with national emissions plateauing and insufficient progress being made on clean electrification–the foundation of a more resilient, competitive economy.   

KEY FINDINGS

Among the positive findings: the tracker shows the country’s electric vehicle market share has nearly doubled over the past year and a half, reaching 13 per cent this August. That’s up from just 7 per cent in February 2025, following a crash in sales due to a rollback in government support. Wind and solar power capacity has grown by nearly 7 gigawatts since 2020, an increase of more than 40 per cent. Battery storage capacity has ramped up more than sixfold since 2020, rising to almost 900 MW in January 2026.

Clean technologies are growing in other ways. Clean tech exports have grown by nearly 1.8 times their 2020 levels in 2026. The share of made-in-Canada clean tech has also grown, up 11 per cent since 2020, with 81 per cent of the share of Canada’s clean technology market now supplied by domestically manufactured products rather than imports in August 2026.

Yet overall trends show Canada facing headwinds in its energy transition. Electricity is not yet growing as a share of the country’s energy use, though that could change as governments follow through on a commitment to double Canada’s electricity supply. The country’s power grids are also not getting cleaner in general. Although wind and solar power has grown, some hydro and nuclear power have come offline temporarily, and gas-fired power has filled that gap. As a result, the share of non-emitting power generation in August 2026 dropped 6 percentage points from the same month in 2020.

Likewise, Canada continues to make limited progress reducing emissions. The tracker provides a broader picture of climate progress by pairing leading indicators with new monthly emissions estimates that are tallied in near real time, with just a three-month delay. That can provide a preliminary look at emissions six months ahead of the Institute’s annual Early Estimate of National Emissions, and more than a year before official government numbers are released.

The latest data on the tracker show that Canada’s emissions appear to be plateauing: after a slight increase in 2025, emissions decreased slightly in the first half of 2026. However, that decrease still leaves Canada far from achieving its climate targets. 

Tracking leading and lagging indicators of progress is a growing practice globally as governments, investors, and analysts seek more current, data-driven signals to inform decision making. Similar frameworks have been adopted by climate councils in the UK, Sweden, and Australia; by publicly available platforms like the Systems Change Lab and Ember; and by many private sector firms tracking capital flows and energy system trends.

The 440 Megatonnes team will continue to develop new indicators in the year ahead, including measures of clean investment. Ultimately, the new interactive tool is meant to provide a more actionable view of Canada’s progress towards decarbonization, showing where governments can prioritize efforts and investment to ensure future progress aligns with commitments.

QUOTES

“Canada’s climate progress is about more than just emissions–it’s about a broader transition to clean, electric technologies that are remaking global energy markets in real time. Our Climate Progress Tracker is the only tool of its kind in Canada to offer a broader picture of this progress with easy-to-use data and visualizations showing how the country is building a cleaner economy across sectors.”

— Rick Smith, President, Canadian Climate Institute

“The Climate Progress Tracker is an interactive way for people to access a wide range of data showing how Canada is transitioning to a cleaner economy–from electric vehicle and heat pump sales to detailed emissions estimates that are available nowhere else. It’s a one-stop-shop for energy experts, policymakers, journalists and others interested in Canada’s progress adopting clean technologies using dozens of the latest graphs and charts profiling the energy transition.”

— Ross Linden-Fraser, Acting Director, 440 Megatonnes
