The Vusion platform, now deployed across 54 countries on three continents, enhances operational efficiency for Decathlon teams and improves customer experience.

PARIS, July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Vusion, the global leader in digitalization solutions for physical retail, today announced that Decathlon reached the milestone of 700 stores equipped with its digital solutions during the second quarter 2026. The deployment now spans 54 countries across three continents (Europe, South America, and Asia-Pacific), making the sporting goods retailer Vusion’s most internationally deployed customer to date.

Operational Efficiency and Greater Value for Store Associates

Voted France’s Most Attractive Retailer in 2026[1] and widely recognized for its outstanding customer experience, Decathlon relies on Vusion’s platform to automate price management. With instant, synchronized price updates on the electronic shelf labels (ESL), store teams are freed from the time-consuming task of manually replacing paper price tags. As a result, associates can dedicate more time to what lies at the essence of their job: welcoming customers, delivering personalized advice and service to sports enthusiast customers.

Zero Pricing Errors at the Check-Out: A Key Driver of Customer Satisfaction

Beyond the productivity gains for store teams, digital shelf management ensures an excellent level of pricing accuracy. Discrepancies between the shelf price and the price charged at checkout are nearly eliminated. This perfect transparency reinforces customer trust and directly contributes to higher customer satisfaction across the Decathlon network.

“Thanks to ESLs, we have further enhanced the in-store experience while improving our operational efficiency. Deploying connected shelf labels at scale enables us to focus on our core mission: advising and supporting our sports customers. This project delivers immediate, tangible benefits for both our store teams and consumers,” commented Xavier Dété, VP Innovation, Decathlon.

“We are particularly proud to support Decathlon, a global retail leader highly valued by its customers and recognized for both the strength of its brand and its commitment to sustainability. This large-scale partnership demonstrates our ability to support leading global retailers and industrialize our cutting-edge solutions in the demanding sporting goods sector—a high-potential market where Vusion continues to strengthen its leadership position,” added Sébastien Fourcy, SEVP EMEA, Vusion.

Agile, High-Performance Technology Integration

From a technical perspective, Decathlon leverages Vusion’s cloud platform. The electronic shelf labels connect natively and securely to the retailer’s existing Cisco Meraki network infrastructure, enabling a seamless deployment without requiring any additional networking hardware.

LONDON, July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cloud communications service provider aql and global health charity parkrun have announced the successful completion of their 13-year digital partnership. Throughout the collaboration, aql has provided free SMS infrastructure to deliver millions of weekly text alerts to parkrunners across the country, donating an estimated £1 million in messaging and unlocking substantial direct healthcare savings according to research evaluated by the Royal College of General Practitioners and published in the British Journal of General Practice.

The alliance, forged between friends aql Founder and CEO Prof Adam Beaumont DL and parkrun Founder Paul Sinton-Hewitt CBE, concludes amicably as parkrun transitions its digital notifications into an app-first environment.

A Tech-Enabled Public Health Triumph Whilst individual parkrun events are free to attend, running the back-end communication infrastructure requires significant resources. By absorbing £1 million in messaging costs, aql insulated parkrun from operational expenses estimated closer to £2 million.

This investment also yielded a dividend for public health. According to economic frameworks from Sport England and Sheffield Hallam University, every £1 spent staging parkrun events returns roughly £10 in healthcare benefits. Consequently, aql’s sustained support has unlocked an estimated £10 million in targeted NHS savings over the lifetime of the partnership by reducing reliance on clinical services and aiding chronic disease prevention.

Professor Adam Beaumont, Founder and CEO of aql, commented: “When Paul and I first discussed how aql could support parkrun, we shared a vision of technology being the ‘digital glue’ to empower healthier communities. Seeing that our £1 million in tech support has translated into £10 million of tangible savings for the NHS is incredibly fulfilling. It’s been a privilege to help scale parkrun into a cultural phenomenon, and I remain immensely proud of what our teams have achieved.”

Paul Sinton-Hewitt CBE, Founder of parkrun, commented: “The longstanding and unwavering support by Adam and his team at aql has helped make parkrun more enjoyable, with many runners looking forward to their ‘personal best’ message. aql’s generosity has grown with the parkrun community, which continues as a global movement.”

About aql: 

aql is a UK-based communications provider specialising in CPaaS (Communications Platform as a Service), secure data centers and mobile connectivity solutions.

About parkrun: 

parkrun is a UK-founded global charity delivering free, weekly 5k and 2k events across 20+ countries, promoting physical activity, mental well-being, and social connection.

Highlights

Inturai signs MOU with Chipforge, a company of ASX-listed Pathkey Limited (ASX: PKY). Partnership to build drone swarm command and control (C2) on edge silicon for defence and emergency response.Deepens Inturai’s push into defence and autonomous systems, following its acquisition of DomeCommand.

VANCOUVER, BC, July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – Inturai Ventures Corp. (the “Company”) (CSE: URAI) (OTC: URAIF) (FSE: 3QG0) is pleased to announce that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with Chipforge, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pathkey Limited (“Pathkey”) (ASX: PKY), an Australian public-listed semiconductor and technology group, to jointly develop drone swarm command and control on an edge-computing platform.

Under the MOU, the Parties will collaborate on a drone swarm communication and coordination module built on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) platform. The module targets core autonomous functions including path planning, collision avoidance, task allocation, and autonomous deployment sensing — the mission-critical building blocks of command and control (C2) for coordinated drone swarms operating in tactical and emergency-response scenarios. The technical work will be carried out with Pathkey’s Singapore-based AI-native semiconductor subsidiary, Chipforge Pte. Ltd., and covers platform access, FPGA-based prototyping, and vision-processing IP development.

The work sits at the intersection of two fast-growing markets: autonomous unmanned systems and edge AI. Defence and emergency-response operators increasingly require drone swarms that can sense, decide, and act in contested and complex environments where connectivity is degraded or denied. Processing command and control on edge silicon, rather than in the cloud, delivers the low-latency, resilient operational intelligence those missions demand.

“Command and control is the hard problem in autonomous drone swarms, and solving it on the drone is where significant value sits. Working with Chipforge, we are putting our sensing and agentic swarm capabilities directly onto silicon for tactical and emergency-response operations. This collaboration positions Inturai at the front of the defence and national security markets that are moving fastest toward autonomy.”

The collaboration extends Inturai’s spatial intelligence platform beyond RF presence and vital-signs sensing into agentic drone swarm management, a materially larger addressable market. The Company’s hardware-light deployment architecture and AI-native approach are well suited to the FPGA design work, which is intended to compress the path from prototype to production-ready hardware.

The MOU also reinforces the Company’s cross-border footprint. Pathkey is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: PKY), aligning the collaboration with an Australian public-listed group and connecting Inturai to the Asia-Pacific defence and national security corridor. The collaboration follows the Company’s acquisition of DomeCommand, part of a broader build-out of Inturai’s defence and autonomous-systems capabilities.

The Parties intend to negotiate and execute definitive agreements that will document the full scope, timelines, and commercial terms of the collaboration. The Company will update shareholders as material milestones are reached.
