Published

on

DUBAI, UAE, Feb. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Estonia is enhancing its defence innovation through strategic alliances globally. His Excellency (H.E.) Hanno Pevkur, Estonia’s Minister of Defence, visited the UAE and attended the IDEX 2025 conference—the global stage for defence innovation and collaboration.

Investment in European defence tech startups is expected to surpass over $1.04 billion this year with the majority directed toward dual-use technologies. However, many funds remain restricted from investing in weapon-related innovations. The UAE and Estonia are jointly advancing their defence sectors, with the UAE focusing on next-generation defence technologies, cybersecurity, AI, and autonomous systems. The UAE’s rise as a global defence tech ecosystem aligns seamlessly with Estonia’s innovation-driven approach.

Technological Innovation Driving Defence Excellence

Estonia has emerged as a prominent hub for defence start-ups, dedicated to advancing AI, cyber defence, and autonomous systems. The UAE’s increasing investment in AI-driven defence solutions, unmanned systems, and digital security highlights the synergy between the two nations. Estonia’s defence sector leads in advanced technology solutions, featuring cyber defence innovations from Cybers, robotics from Milrem Robotics, autonomous systems from DefSecIntel, sensor technology from ELSA Solutions, and communication advancements from Teleport. These solutions are pivotal to achieving battlefield superiority, supporting the UAE’s pursuit of enhanced security measures through technological advancements.

Estonia’s defence industry is bolstered by companies dedicated to advancing military capabilities through innovative solutions, with 21 companies actively exploring opportunities in the UAE market. The focus of these companies spans across defence technologies such as autonomous systems, AI-driven innovations, advanced robotics, cybersecurity, and state-of-the-art communication and surveillance systems. The Estonian delegation also participated in high-level meetings with key industry leaders, including Hamad Al Marar, CEO of EDGE Group; Ziad Al-Musallam, CEO of SAMI AEC; and H.E. Ahmad Abdulaziz Al-Ohali, Governor of GAMI, further reinforcing Estonia’s commitment to strategic partnerships in the region.

H.E. Hanno Pevkur, Estonian Minister of Defence, stated: “Estonia’s defence industry is driven by cutting-edge advancements that enhance national security and contribute to international stability. Our companies continue to develop transformative technologies that are vital in redefining modern defence capabilities. Strengthening collaboration with the UAE has further accelerated industry-led progress in addressing emerging security challenges.”

Advancing Cybersecurity and Autonomous Defence Solutions

Estonia is widely recognised for its leadership in cybersecurity, ranking first in the EU on the Global Cybersecurity Index. Hosting the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence further underlines Estonia’s position as a global cybersecurity leader.

The UAE is rapidly expanding its cyber defence capabilities as well, enhancing national security through strategic investments in cybersecurity infrastructure. With a $23.2 billion defence budget in 2023, the UAE is the second-largest defence investor in the Middle East, with cumulative defence investments estimated to reach $129 billion between 2024 and 2028. This commitment to technological advancement and strategic collaboration elevates the UAE’s status in global security.

Milrem Robotics, the world’s leading robotics and autonomous systems developer, is set to launch its highly anticipated 8×8 Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV). This next-generation hybrid unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), named HAVOC, represents a revolutionary step in modern combat operations. The UAE’s emphasis on autonomous defence solutions aligns closely with such advancements. Similarly, Vegvisir unveiled the Virtual Command Station, a cutting-edge, rapidly deployable command solution that leverages virtual reality (VR) to replace bulky screens with a compact, space-efficient, and highly collaborative environment. This innovation is transforming fleet management and command & control solutions, an area of strategic interest for the UAE.

Rene Ehasalu, Cluster Manager of the Estonian Defence and Aerospace Industry Association, commented: “The Estonian defence sector continues to push the boundaries of technological advancement. Our partnerships with the UAE and other global allies highlight the significance of innovation-driven security solutions, ensuring resilience in an evolving threat landscape. Estonia’s expertise in cybersecurity and autonomous systems, coupled with the UAE’s investment in next-generation defence solutions, is shaping a robust and future-ready defence ecosystem.”

Key Defence Trends for 2025

Looking ahead to 2025, the defence sector is witnessing a transformative shift driven by several key trends. Autonomous systems, including drones and robotic technologies, are increasingly defining modern warfare strategies. The importance of electronic warfare continues to grow, defining how nations defend against and counter emerging threats. AI and machine learning are becoming integral to defence technologies, enhancing decision-making, operational efficiency, and predictive capabilities. Additionally, fortifying supply chains and deepening international collaboration are fundamental in ensuring resilience and adaptability in a rapidly evolving security landscape.

Estonia continues to be a leader in defence innovation, with defence spends expected to reach 3.7% of its GDP in 2026 and discussions underway for increasing this further. The country is actively supporting NATO and other international defence initiatives. With two-thirds of its defence sector output exported, Estonia’s defence industry demonstrates strong global demand. Estonia and the UAE remain at the forefront of defence technology evolution, cementing their strategic partnerships and underpinning their roles as key players in global security advancements.

BC Token Reaches New All-Time High Near $0.0179, Extending Its July Rally

Published

on

By

The token set another price record just three days after reaching $0.01561 on July 17. As BC.GAME continues to expand its token ecosystem, $BC is now more than 50% above its April price level.

BELIZE CITY, Belize, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BC Token ($BC), the ecosystem token of BC.GAME, reached a new all-time high of approximately $0.0179 on July 20, extending a series of price records set since April.

The latest milestone came only three days after $BC reached approximately $0.01561 on July 17. Based on the latest intraday high, the token gained more than 14% from its previous record.

Compared with its April 12 price level of approximately $0.01181, $BC has increased by around 51%. It is also approximately 44% above the $0.01237 level recorded in June. Cryptocurrency prices are highly volatile and may change significantly over short periods.

The latest high is part of a broader price trend that has developed over recent months. During the same period, BC.GAME has continued to expand BC Engine and the wider utility of its token ecosystem.

Launched on April 8, BC Engine is BC.GAME’s token participation and reward system. It is designed to connect eligible activity across the platform with $BC participation and recurring BCD rewards.

Users can earn $BC by participating in supported products and activities on the platform. Eligible tokens are automatically allocated to BC Engine, which distributes BCD rewards to participating users through hourly settlements.

Through the BC Engine interface, users can view their allocated $BC balance, accumulated BCD rewards and other relevant participation data.

BC Engine is also expanding the range of ecosystem contribution nodes and connected products. BC Originals, Croco Gaming and sportsbook technology provider BETBY currently operate as contribution nodes within the BC Engine ecosystem.

A portion of the profits generated through BETBY-supported sportsbook activity is contributed to BC Engine to support BCD reward distributions. This connects the operational performance of the sportsbook with the wider BC Engine reward ecosystem.

Beyond BC Engine, the $BC economic model includes separate daily buyback and burn mechanisms. $BC acquired through daily buybacks is redistributed to players through Instant Bonus, while daily token burns are generated through early unlocks. Users who unlock their $BC less than seven days after it enters BC Engine incur a 1% token burn, while those who remain in the system for at least seven days can unlock their full balance.

BC.GAME will continue introducing additional ecosystem contribution nodes, product integrations and data features, further expanding the practical role of $BC across its wider platform ecosystem.

More information about BC Engine is available at bc.game/bc.

New release improves AI-supported documentation, dashboard personalization, and process mining insight

DUBLIN, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BOC Group today announced the release of ADONIS 19.0 LTS, the latest Long-Term Support version of their Business Process Management suite. The new release introduces practical enhancements that make everyday process work more intelligent, focused, and easier to manage.

As process landscapes grow, the challenge for organizations is no longer only to document how work should happen. It is to help people use that process knowledge in the moments where decisions, changes, and improvements actually take place. ADONIS 19.0 LTS supports this shift with improvements that bring clearer guidance, more relevant views, and stronger evidence closer to daily BPM work.

A central enhancement is AI Text Refinement within the ADONIS AI Assistant. It enables users to improve descriptions, notes, and documentation directly within ADONIS properties, where the content is maintained. By supporting better wording, tone, structure, and level of detail, the AI Assistant helps teams keep process documentation clear, consistent, and easier to maintain.

AI-assisted process generation has also been improved to provide a stronger starting point for modeling work. Generated process models now include Lanes and automatic object numbering, giving teams clearer responsibilities and a more structured first draft. This makes generated models easier to review, discuss, and refine.

In addition, ADONIS 19.0 LTS extends Configurable Dashboards with new widgets for processes, assets, KPIs, and updates. Users can bring the information most relevant to their role into one focused view, reducing search time and creating a clearer starting point for daily BPM work.

The new Variant Analysis capability in ADONIS Process Mining Essentials further improves process transparency by showing the different paths work actually takes. Based on real execution data, organizations can identify common routes, uncover deviations, and reveal improvement potential with greater confidence.

Together, these enhancements reinforce ADONIS as a platform for decision-grade process transparency. By connecting structured process knowledge with relevant user views and real execution insight, ADONIS 19.0 LTS helps organizations standardize operations, identify improvement opportunities, and build a reliable foundation for automation and AI initiatives.

“With ADONIS 19.0 LTS, we focused on making process work more natural and relevant for every user”, said Tobias Rausch, ADONIS Product Manager. “BPM creates the most value when people can move from process knowledge to action without unnecessary friction. This release brings support, insight, and guidance closer to the moments where work actually happens.”

ADONIS 19.0 LTS is available now. More information is available on the BOC Group website.

Acron Technologies Unveils New Corporate Brand at Farnborough International Airshow 2026

Chalet branding, website, and LinkedIn presence launch together as new corporate identity debuts across the company’s aerospace solutions and defense technology portfolio

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Acron Technologies today unveiled its new corporate brand at the Farnborough International Airshow, marking the company’s first public presentation under its new identity. The launch coincides with the debut of Acron Technologies branding on the company’s chalet at the show, as well as the launch of the company’s website and LinkedIn presence (www.acrontechnologies.com and linkedin.com/company/acron-technologies).

“Farnborough is where our industry comes together, and it’s the right stage to officially introduce Acron Technologies to the market,” said Alan Crawford, Chief Executive Officer of Acron Technologies. “Over the past eighteen months, we have brought together companies whose technologies were built to work alongside each other — in the cockpit, on the battlefield, and in the moments when a space mission or rescue operation depend on getting it right. That strategic fit is what Acron Technologies represents, and it is what will keep making each of these companies stronger as the portfolio grows.”

The Acron Technologies brand unites a portfolio of established companies serving the aerospace, defense, and rescue technology markets. Each portfolio company continues to operate under its own name, with its own products, customers, and brand identity unaffected by the launch. The following companies are part of the Acron Technologies portfolio: Acron Aviation, ACR Electronics, APS Aerospace, NAL Technologies, Trakka Systems, Ocean Signal, Digital Barriers, Alereon, Sightline Intelligence, Flight Data Systems, Artex, FreeFlight Systems, and Skytrac.

While each portfolio company will continue to operate independently, the combination of their technologies creates integrated capabilities unique to the Acron Technologies portfolio. Certified avionics and collision-avoidance systems help keep aircraft safely separated in increasingly crowded skies. Secure positioning and communications technology keeps warfighters connected and oriented even when GPS is unavailable. And distress beacons, thermal switches and rescue technology, trusted by the U.S. Coast Guard and flown on NASA’s Artemis program, help bring people home in the worst conditions. Together, these capabilities span the full arc of a flight, a mission, or a rescue — from keeping people safely in the air to bringing them home when something goes wrong.

“Each of these companies has built its reputation over years, and in some cases decades, of work in their respective fields,” Crawford said. “Our new website and LinkedIn presence give customers, partners, and the industry a single place to see the full breadth of what the Acron Technologies portfolio offers, while every portfolio company keeps its own name and identity in the market.”

About Acron Technologies
Acron Technologies is a mission-critical aerospace and defense technology platform built to create safer skies and protect lives across air, land, sea, and space. Organized around Aerospace Solutions and Defense + Rescue Technologies, the Acron portfolio brings together specialized businesses in avionics, connectivity, surveillance, navigation, rescue, and flight data services, including Acron Aviation, ACR Electronics, APS Aerospace, NAL Technologies, Trakka Systems, Ocean Signal, Digital Barriers, Alereon, Sightline Intelligence, Flight Data Systems, Artex, FreeFlight Systems, and Skytrac. Across defense, and rescue operations worldwide, Acron businesses hold trusted, often sole-source positions that help operators fly safer, move faster, stay connected, and respond when lives are on the line.
