LinqAlpha Raises $22 Million to Build the Alpha Intelligence Layer for Global Public Markets

Published

on

LinqAlpha turns each investor’s own research into AI agents that surface market-moving signals before they are priced in.

NEW YORK, July 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LinqAlpha, the AI-native company building the Alpha Intelligence Layer for global public markets, today announced $22 million in Series A funding. The round was anchored by AVP, Atinum Investment, and GFT Ventures, with participation from a global syndicate of strategic financial institutions and venture platforms.

Founded by Jacob Choi, Subeen Pang, Jin Kim, and Hojun Choi, LinqAlpha brings together former Goldman Sachs analysts and MIT computer science PhDs. Since launch, the platform has seen rapid adoption, serving over 70 financial institutions across the U.S., Europe, and Asia, including sell-side sales, trading, and research teams at leading investment banks, as well as buy-side clients such as Causeway Capital Management LLC and Schonfeld Strategic Advisors LLC. Collectively, LinqAlpha’s buy-side clients manage more than $5 trillion in assets.

The company was built to address a critical inflection point in modern finance: public markets have become too fast, global, and interconnected for traditional research workflows. A supply-chain disruption in Asia, a policy shift in Europe, a social-media signal, an earnings call, and a credit-market move can all become part of the same thesis within hours. The challenge for institutional investors is no longer finding information; it is synthesizing thousands of moving signals into differentiated judgment before consensus catches up.

“The first wave of AI in finance made analysts faster. The next wave changes what they can know,” said Hojun Choi, co-founder and co-CEO of LinqAlpha. “The edge no longer comes from retrieving information; it comes from systems that surface market-moving signals before they are priced in.”

To deliver this edge, LinqAlpha enables institutional teams to deploy specialized AI agents that learn each user’s unique investment framework.

“In effect, LinqAlpha builds a second brain for every investment team: one that turns accumulated research into actionable insight across liquid public markets,” said Jacob Choi, co-founder and co-CEO of LinqAlpha. “Instead of a generic model’s average answer, each team gets agents that reason in the context of its own thesis history and evolve with its feedback and market view.”

“Most AI tools in finance help professionals retrieve information faster or automate repetitive work,” said Manish Agarwal, General Partner at AVP. “LinqAlpha is addressing a larger opportunity: building systems that help institutional investors discover differentiated insights in public markets that reward speed, context, and proprietary judgment.”

Alongside the lead investors, the round was oversubscribed with participation from a deep bench of strategic financial institutions and venture platforms across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. The new capital will be used to expand LinqAlpha’s global team—now headquartered in New York—deepen integrations across market and alternative datasets, and accelerate the deployment of its multi-agent platform across equities, macro, credit, and multi-asset strategies.

Opus 2 expands European presence to meet growing demand for its leading litigation and arbitration solutions and AI innovation

Published

By

New strategic investments reinforce Opus 2’s position as the most trusted technology provider for Europe’s most innovative law firms and arbitral institutions.

LONDON, July 2, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Opus 2, a leading legal software and services provider, today highlighted continued momentum across Europe driven by personnel additions and market investments in Amsterdam and Paris, an expanding continental client base, growing regional demand for digital hearings, and recently announced AI innovation throughout the commercial disputes lifecycle.

Already well established with 40 of the FT (Financial Times) top 50 innovative law firms in Europe trusting Opus 2 solutions, the company’s latest investments follow a year of increased demand for its AI-enabled software platform.

Supporting firms throughout every case, Opus 2 serves as the collaborative “hub” for disputes teams as they work—from assessing the merits, developing strategy, and preparing for trial through creating the bundle, presenting evidence, providing a real-time transcript, and conducting an in-person, virtual, or hybrid hearing. Last year alone, Opus 2 delivered more than 1,100 hearings across 33 countries and tripled its subscription revenue in the European market.

“Our momentum in the European market is driven by strong demand for proven case preparation and hearings solutions that adapt to the requirements of each dispute, including delivering some of the most complex international arbitrations in the world,” said Will Carter, Chief Revenue Officer at Opus 2. “Building upon our existing investments with the new office and strategic leadership hires, who combine deep legal expertise with a genuine understanding of how disputes practitioners work, reflects our commitment to partnering with the European disputes community.”

Opus 2’s recent investments and achievements in Europe include:

Expanded European presence

Following the acquisition of AI company Uncover in late 2025, Opus 2 opened a new office location in Amsterdam where co-founder Caroline Zand-Korteweg now serves as Opus 2’s Director of AI and Market Development, Europe. Zand-Korteweg leverages her extensive background in litigation and AI to lead innovation and growth strategy in Europe.

In addition, Opus 2 welcomed Nailah Eddoo as Market Development Manager, Europe, based in Paris and formerly of Stephenson Harwood LLP. The move positions the company to better serve the evolving needs of leading European firms.

Leading AI innovation

Extending the power of Opus 2’s award-winning AI, the company recently announced the significant expansion of new AI capabilities into litigation and arbitration proceedings. Already the most used AI software for litigation management, legal teams can leverage Opus 2’s AI at their hearing to surface insights from real-time testimony, analyse evidence while it is presented, and adapt their case strategy as proceedings develop—empowering them to act with greater speed and confidence.

Creating a connected disputes ecosystem

Opus 2 continues to play an active role in supporting the litigation and arbitration community in Europe. With solutions designed for law firms, chambers, and arbitral institutions, Opus 2 creates an ecosystem that streamlines disputes from instruction to resolution. The company has recently been recognised for its work by the Legalweek Leaders in Tech Law Awards for Innovation in Arbitration Technology, the European Legal Innovation & Technology Awards for Excellence in Litigation Technology, and the ILTA Distinguished Peer Awards for Solution Provider of the Year, among others.

About Opus 2

Founded in 2008, Opus 2 develops award-winning, AI-enabled software that solves the most pressing problems facing the practice of law. The company’s best-in-class solutions are essential to the commercial disputes ecosystem and trusted by the world’s most successful law firms for their critical matters.

Cognizant and Domyn Announce Strategic Partnership to Deliver Sovereign AI Solutions Across EMEA

Published

on

By

Partnership combines Domyn’s chip-to-application sovereign AI infrastructure with Cognizant’s enterprise integration expertise and EMEA industry reach, enabling regulated organisations to deploy AI securely on-premise and within sovereign environments

LONDON, July 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cognizant (NASDAQ: CTSH) and Domyn, the European leader in sovereign AI infrastructure for regulated industries, have announced a strategic partnership to bring sovereign AI capabilities to enterprises across the EMEA region. The partnership will help organisations in highly regulated sectors deploy powerful AI solutions that keep data within client-controlled environments and support compliance with European regulatory frameworks.

Domyn’s end-to-end AI system — spanning compute, proprietary models, governance, and agents —is purpose-built for exactly this challenge, and Cognizant’s role as an AI Builder and trusted global systems integrator, with deep EMEA enterprise relationships, makes it the ideal partner to bring these capabilities to scale.

Under the partnership, Domyn will provide the AI infrastructure layer, delivering LLMs that can be deployed within client environments, on-premise or in private cloud configurations, while Cognizant will serve as the application, integration, and domain execution layer. Cognizant will train and adapt Domyn’s models into smaller, domain-specific models (SLMs), build agents and applications tailored to specific industry use cases, and manage the legacy data pipeline construction, data cleaning, and model-alignment work required for enterprise deployment. Together, the companies will execute a joint go-to-market strategy targeting organisations across UK & Ireland, DACH, Northern Europe, and Southern Europe and the Middle East.

For enterprise customers, the partnership unlocks a fully integrated sovereign AI proposition. Organisations gain access to cutting-edge AI models and infrastructure without sacrificing control over their data, while benefiting from Cognizant’s proven ability to manage complex enterprise change, embed human-in-the-loop compliance frameworks, and deliver measurable business outcomes at scale. As per Gartner®, “Geopolitics is the key driver behind the demand for true sovereign AI solutions and services, which has a negative impact on global cloud providers offering AI services, such as hyperscale cloud providers. Considering the current geopolitical situation, local cloud providers offering AI services will increasingly become relevant competitors and will grow market share.” By 2029, geopolitics will drive 50% of cloud AI workloads to sovereign cloud AI deployment models, up from 5% in 2025.1

“Sovereign AI is one of the most significant growth opportunities in EMEA, and one where Cognizant is uniquely positioned to lead,” said Manoj Mehta, President, EMEA, Cognizant. “Regulated organisations across Europe need AI that delivers transformational outcomes without compromising on data sovereignty, regulatory compliance, or security. Our partnership with Domyn brings together world-class AI infrastructure and Cognizant’s deep expertise in turning that infrastructure into real, industry-specific solutions. Together, we are giving enterprises the confidence to move fast on AI – on their terms and within their borders.”

“The next wave of AI in Europe will be won by those who own and control the intelligence at the heart of their business,” said Uljan Sharka, CEO at Domyn. “With Cognizant’s extensive industry relationships across EMEA, we’ll be able to scale our vision and give the most demanding institutions the foundation to move decisively on AI, and truly own the intelligence they’re building on.”

The partnership aligns with Cognizant’s three-vector AI Builder strategy — enabling hyper productivity, industrialising AI, and agentifying the enterprise — bringing more than 60 AI patents, 1,500-plus industry-specific agents, and a dedicated AI Lab across San Francisco and Bengaluru. It also represents an important step in Domyn’s mission to help regulated enterprises own, govern and trust the intelligence powering their most critical workflows, with the partnership initially focused on customers across EMEA.

RWS launches Trados Studio 2026, delivering major advances in AI, performance and productivity for language professionals

Published

on

By

New release introduces next-generation architecture, context-aware AI, enhanced terminology management and an improved workspace experience

MAIDENHEAD, England, July 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — RWS (AIM: RWS.L), a global AI solutions company, today announced the launch of Trados Studio 2026, the newest version of the world’s most widely used computer-assisted translation (CAT) tool.

Built with direct input from the Trados community, including professional freelance translators and RWS’s language specialists, Trados Studio 2026 offers significant performance, AI and terminology enhancements, including brand new options to bring the world’s most advanced AI translation engine, Language Weaver Pro, into the Trados ecosystem. Together they help language professionals work faster while keeping control of the quality, terminology and client-specific knowledge that define their work.

The release gives Trados Studio users greater capacity for complex translation work. The next-generation architecture is built for demanding translation environments, so teams can manage larger files, bigger translation memories, richer termbases and AI-powered features with greater speed and stability. That means smoother project handling and more confidence when working on high-volume translation projects. In testing, large and complex files opened up to seven times faster than in previous versions.

“Trados Studio 2026 reflects the way professional translation is changing,” said Matt Hardy, SVP of Products at RWS. “Language professionals need tools that are faster, more flexible and more intelligent, but they also need to retain control over the quality and knowledge that define their work. This release brings performance, context-aware AI and trusted linguistic resources together in one environment, helping users take on more complex projects while continuing to deliver the standards their clients expect.”

Trados Studio 2026 also brings large language models directly into the professional translation workflow. Users can now benefit from access to Language Weaver Pro natively within Trados. Released in March 2026 and built specifically for translators, Language Weaver Pro outperforms alternative AI models on translation tasks in 31 of 32 languages. Trados Studio 2026 also supports the most common third-party models such as ChatGPT, Claude and DeepSeek for full flexibility and sophistication.

AI-generated translations are grounded in trusted linguistic resources, including translation memories, terminology and custom prompts. This gives users more accurate first drafts while keeping them in control of quality, style and client-specific requirements.

Another key innovation is the move toward more context-aware AI. Instead of relying only on isolated sentence-by-sentence processing, Trados Studio 2026 can take the broader document context into account before generating a suggestion, so first drafts land closer to the intended meaning, tone and terminology and need less correction. The result is a more practical way to work with AI, with human expertise at the center of the process.

More than 250,000 translation professionals use Trados Studio worldwide. Trados Studio 2026 builds on that community, with many of its improvements shaped directly by the translators, reviewers, project managers and enterprise teams who rely on Trados Studio daily.

Trados Studio 2026 is available now through subscription and upgrade options.
