NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2025 – As the business day concludes around the globe, a final series of announcements highlights a world increasingly connected by technology, a growing C-suite consensus on the financial benefits of sustainability, and significant breakthroughs in healthcare and regenerative medicine. From satellite-to-cellular integration to major investments in the AI economy, companies are building the infrastructure for the next wave of innovation.

Tech Partnerships and AI Power Global Connectivity

A series of high-profile partnerships are set to expand global connectivity and accelerate AI development. Iridium announced it has begun the integration of its Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) Direct service with Deutsche Telekom, a move that will significantly extend the German telecom giant's global reach for Internet of Things (IoT) customers. In the UK, Google officially opened its Waltham Cross data centre as part of a £5 billion investment to help power the country's AI economy.

The push for secure AI also saw a major development, as Cornami and DESILO announced a partnership to bring encrypted AI to scale with a deployable, Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE)-based Large Language Model (LLM). In networking, Ribbon launched its new AI platform, Acumen™, designed to enable autonomous network operations.

Sustainability Becomes a CEO Imperative

A landmark 2025 study from the UN Global Compact and Accenture revealed that nine in ten CEOs now see a stronger business case for sustainability, with nearly all planning to maintain or expand their commitments. The report also warned of critical capability gaps in technology and communications that could hinder progress.

Putting sustainability into practice, Databeyond Technology announced it has pioneered China's first fully automated textile waste sorting line, setting a new standard for circularity in the global textile industry. In the energy sector, XCMG's massive 4,000-ton crawler crane, the XGC88000, is playing a key role in China's offshore wind revolution by installing the world's largest offshore wind turbine.

Breakthroughs in Healthcare and Regenerative Medicine

The healthcare sector announced several significant advances. Regenerative medicine company Orthocell Limited reported that its Remplir™ collagen scaffold has been successfully used in nerve-sparing prostate cancer surgery, a globally significant opportunity that could reduce the risk of common side effects like erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence.

In the world of luxury skincare and science, La Mer is doubling down on its signature Miracle Broth™ with a new bioenergetics research platform and a landmark partnership with the prestigious Salk Institute to fund a three-year healthy aging fellowship. In oncology, Akeso Inc. announced that its CD47 monoclonal antibody, ligufalimab, has received Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. FDA for the treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).

Strategic Mergers and Expansions Drive Global Business

The global business landscape was reshaped by strategic moves. In Hong Kong, boutique legal search firm Ropner Search and recruitment consultancy Lewis Sanders have completed a strategic merger to form a full-service legal recruitment powerhouse. In logistics, UPS announced significant capacity and speed enhancements to its intra-Asia air network, accelerating trade in the high-growth region with five new weekly flights and faster transit times.
