This partnership paves the way for increased transparency within supply chains using autonomous economic agents and will be showcased at WEF Davos 2022

CAMBRIDGE, England, Dec. 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fetch.ai (https://fetch.ai/), a Cambridge-based artificial intelligence lab building an open-access decentralized machine learning network for smart infrastructure, has announced a partnership with LiquidChefs, an on-location food beverage services company.

One of the main challenges facing modern supply chains is access to data, which is crucial for effective decision-making. This data is not always available as supply chains lack transparency due to their sheer size and other complexities. As a result, many organisations are faced with an assortment of manual and digital systems that effectively trap information within functional silos, hampering the decision-making process by providing an incomplete picture.

The partnership between Fetch.ai and LiquidChefs aims to utilize Fetch.ai’s Autonomous Economic Agents integrated with its Search and Discovery Framework to build local and transparent supply chains, allowing LiquidChefs to search and connect with any sustainable supplier in its immediate vicinity. At launch, it will support a select number of suppliers including Bäckerei-Konditorei-Café Weber, BierVision Monstein AG, Black Peak Brauerei, Adank Davos AG, and Liberty Coffee Roasters.

By digitalising and automating the LiquidChefs supply chain, Fetch.ai infrastructure will create a decentralised supply chain marketplace. This marketplace connects buyers and suppliers digital agents, in real time, to support dynamic, scalable, multi-agent supply chains. This will allow individuals, organisations and assets to be represented as digital agents which work autonomously based on the users’ needs and preferences, such as finding local and sustainable suppliers. The decentralized supply chain marketplace will be showcased at the Davos World Economic Forum in 2022.

“The pandemic has exposed the challenges and risks of supply chains in particular, the over-reliance on centralized locations as a source of critical products,” said Humayun Sheikh, CEO of Fetch.ai. “Through this partnership with LiquidChefs, Fetch.ai will create a more reliable, transparent and efficient supply chain which will trace the sustainability of products and services.”

“The nature of hospitality is collaborative and this understanding is integral to create sustainable spaces in our industry. We are excited to partner with Fetch.ai and incorporate cutting edge technologies like Blockchain, Multi-agent systems, and AI to create verified and transparent supply chains for our services,” said Adam Solomon, Director of LiquidChefs.

About Fetch.ai

Fetch.ai is building the infrastructure required for autonomous software agents to begin performing useful economic work on behalf of individuals, machines, businesses, and organizations. Fetch.ai’s network is based around open-source technology and gives users access to the power of AI on a world-scale secure dataset to carry out complex coordination tasks in the modern economy.

Intuitive reaches 10 million procedures performed using da Vinci Surgical Systems

Milestone serves as foundation for continued innovative improvement in minimally invasive surgery

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Intuitive (Nasdaq: ISRG), a global technology leader in minimally invasive care and the pioneer of robotic-assisted surgery, today announced that the number of robotic-assisted surgical procedures performed worldwide by surgeons using da Vinci surgical systems has surpassed 10 million.

“Surgeon use of da Vinci surgical systems in more than 10 million procedures reflects the benefits that high-quality, minimally invasive surgery conveys to patients, families, and the healthcare systems that care for them,” said Intuitive CEO Gary Guthart. “While we are proud of this milestone and momentum, this is really a moment to look at what we’ve learned from these 10 million procedures and ask ourselves how we can apply that to improving the field of surgery for years to come.”

Cleared for use by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration in 2000, there are more than 6,500 da Vinci surgical systems installed in 67 countries, and more than 55,000 surgeons worldwide have trained on the use of da Vinci systems.

“We have always sought to deliver solutions that meet our customers’ needs—better patient outcomes, better patient experiences, better care team experiences, and a lower total cost to treat per patient episode,” said Guthart. “We will continue to drive outcomes-focused innovation for our customers to help their patients for the next 10 million procedures and beyond.”

Intuitive plans to continue taking its deep and broad experience from these procedures and putting it to work for customers in the form of personalized surgical training programs, continued innovation in systems, instruments and accessories, and an expanded ecosystem of customer services, evidence development, and digital support and solutions.

There are nearly 70 representative clinical uses for da Vinci systems, spanning clinical specialties, including urology, gynecology, thoracic surgery, general surgery, and transoral surgery.

“The growing base of clinical evidence—nearly 30,000 studies on robotic-assisted surgery—and the increasing ability of surgeons, hospitals, and healthcare systems to assess their own data and patient outcomes, have been major drivers of surgeon adoption and the procedure growth that follows,” said Guthart. “Our customers are dedicated to the health and well-being of their patients—they don’t adopt and continue using technology that does not meet their needs.”

Intuitive’s latest, fourth generation of robotic systems, the da Vinci X, Xi, and its single-port system (SP), have continued to evolve through technology, as well as the addition of instruments, features, and digital support.

The company’s innovation in robotic-assisted technology includes development of its Ion endoluminal system designed to enable robotic-assisted lung biopsy.

Adagio Therapeutics Reports Reduction in In Vitro Neutralizing Activity of ADG20 Against Omicron SARS-CoV-2 Variant

Previously Reported In Vitro Data Demonstrating that Individual Omicron Mutations Were Not Associated with ADG20 Escape Do Not Translate to Omicron Authentic and Pseudovirus Assays

WALTHAM, Mass., Dec. 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Adagio Therapeutics, Inc., (Nasdaq: ADGI) a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of antibody-based solutions for infectious diseases with pandemic potential, today provided an update following external in vitro analyses to evaluate neutralizing activity of ADG20 against the Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant. The in vitro data generated through both authentic and pseudovirus testing of the Omicron variant show a greater than 300-fold reduction in neutralizing activity of ADG20 against Omicron. Additional analyses are ongoing, and the company plans to engage with regulatory and government agencies to assess the role ADG20 can play for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19, particularly as the industry’s understanding of the epidemiology and impact of Omicron and potential new variants develops.

“Due to the highly conserved and immunorecessive nature of the epitope recognized by ADG20, we anticipated that ADG20 would retain neutralizing activity against Omicron, consistent with activity observed in in vitro models with all other known variants of concern,” said Tillman Gerngross, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Adagio. “While the individual mutations present in the Omicron receptor binding domain were not associated with escape from ADG20 in the context of an original strain of the virus, new data show that the combination of mutations present in the Omicron spike protein led to a reduction in ADG20 neutralization that was not suggested by prior data. The continued prevalence of the Delta variant in the U.S. and other countries, evolution of SARS-CoV-2 variants and potential future coronaviruses means a multitude of therapies and approaches are needed. With an expert team committed to advancing antibody solutions that combat this unprecedented pandemic and a strong balance sheet, we’re conducting additional analyses to assess the optimal path forward with ADG20 as both a prophylactic and treatment option for COVID-19.”

ADG20 is an investigational monoclonal antibody (mAb) product candidate designed to provide broad and potent neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2, including variants of concern, for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 with potential duration of protection for up to one year with a single injection. In previously disclosed in vitro studies, ADG20 retained activity against prior variants of concern including Alpha, Beta, Delta and Gamma. In addition, in vitro data demonstrated retained neutralizing activity of ADG20 against a diverse panel of circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants, including the Lambda, Mu and Delta plus variants. The safety and efficacy of ADG20 have not been established, and ADG20 is not authorized or approved for use in any country.

Adagio is currently evaluating ADG20 in global Phase 2/3 clinical trials for both the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. Based on the in vitro findings related to Omicron, Adagio plans to pause patient recruitment in its Phase 2/3 COVID-19 treatment trial at clinical sites in South Africa, where Omicron has emerged as the dominant variant. Adagio is evaluating next steps for its ADG20 program.

In vitro analyses were also conducted on ADG10, a second mAb in development, which showed minimal neutralizing activity against the Omicron variant in both authentic and pseudovirus neutralization assays.

About Adagio Therapeutics
Adagio (Nasdaq: ADGI) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of antibody-based solutions for infectious diseases with pandemic potential, including COVID-19 and influenza. The company’s portfolio of antibodies has been optimized using Adimab’s industry-leading antibody engineering capabilities and is designed to provide patients and clinicians with the potential for a powerful combination of potency, breadth, durable protection (via half-life extension), manufacturability and affordability. Adagio’s portfolio of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies includes multiple non-competing, broadly neutralizing antibodies with distinct binding epitopes, led by ADG20. Adagio has secured manufacturing capacity for the production of ADG20 with third-party contract manufacturers to support the completion of clinical trials and initial commercial launch, ensuring the potential for broad accessibility to people around the world.

Feedzai Grows 125%, Hires new CRO, General Counsel, and brings in a new independent board member

  • 125% year-over-year ARR growth in Q3 with multiple new customers in North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia.
  • New Chief Revenue Officer and General Counsel join the company.
  • Christian Smith, CRO at Splunk joins Feedzai as new independent board member.

LISBON, Portugal and SAN MATEO, Calif., Dec. 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Feedzai, the leading RiskOps platform, today announced that has experienced a 125% year-over-year growth in new Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) in Q3. Large multi-year enterprise deals closed in the US, EMEA, APAC, and LATAM with 100% year-to-date growth in new logos.

Feedzai recently announced the evolution of financial risk management, with the introduction of the world’s first RiskOps Platform in a single, comprehensive cloud-based platform to manage multiple forms of risk and compliance. Today, more than 20 percent of the world’s money flows through Feedzai while the company secures the bank accounts of 1 in every five people. In August 2021, Feedzai acquired Revelock and became the world’s largest Financial Intelligence Network (FIN), a vault of more than a trillion data points, sessions, and profiles of both good and bad actors.

“Feedzai keeps growing at a steady rate and we are winning the most important deals in this space. The partnerships we’re forging mean that we will be redefining the way companies operationalize risk in the years to come, with a long-lasting positive impact for hundreds of millions of people every day,” said Nuno Sebastiao, Co-founder, and CEO of Feedzai. “It was also time to step back and reevaluate not just the tools we use to fight fraud or money laundering, but the overall approach we take to developing risk management solutions. RiskOps is a unified theory that allows teams to move from reactionary, one-off point solutions to a comprehensive platform that removes the silos and adds real substance and meaning to their work.

As part of the growth, Feedzai has achieved several important milestones, including:

Business Performance and Geographic Expansion – Feedzai reports a 125% year-over-year growth in new Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) in Q3 and a 100% year-to-date growth in new logos. Additionally, the company has expanded its global footprint with new multi-year deals in Malaysia, Germany, Spain, the US, and many other markets. Feedzai is now also protecting one of the biggest money transfer brands in the world, a major domestic debit and credit card brand in Brazil, one of the world’s largest Islamic banks, a leading P2P provider in Spain and Europe, among many others.

Leadership Strengthening – The company keeps attracting top talent to its C-suite and a new independent board member.

  • Christian Smith, Independent Board Member – joins Feedzai’s board of directors. With over 25 years of experience, Christian is currently the CRO of Splunk and has focused on executive sales and marketing leadership specializing in Cloud and Hybrid Go To Markets in companies such as Nintex and Oracle.
  • Elliott Limb, Chief Revenue Officer – a seasoned banking executive twice named as one of the Top 50 Most Influential Leaders in fintech globally. Former Chief Customer Officer at Mambu with leadership roles at Citibank, Finastra, and Barclays.
  • Patricia Marques Ferreira, General Counsel – with over 20 years of experience, Patricia was the Head of Legal at Outsystems and worked at PLMJ, one of the most innovative international law firms according to the Financial Times.
  • Pedro Barata, Chief Product Officer – After two years as SVP of Product and prior to that having assembled and led the Customer Success department, Pedro was appointed Chief Product Officer, where he leads product development and management to bring the most advanced financial crime-fighting technology to market.

Market category leader through innovation – Feedzai’s RiskOps platform has a fully extensible architecture that allows to instantly go from sandbox to production, human-centered AI with individualized risk assessment embedded across the entire system, and a collaborative analytics suite to further break down the silos between fraud, AML, compliance, and risk teams by putting all the data, tools and analytics in one single space.

Investment in research has been steadily increasing, with 100% patent submission growth in the last two years, more than 10 top tier scientific peer-reviewed papers since the beginning of the year, and multiple awards, such as 2021 Fast Company World Changing Idea (AI and Data category finalist) and 2021 Fintech Breakthrough Award.

Examples of innovations developed by Feedzai Research include a large-scale point-of-compromise detection algorithm, industry-leading AutoML algorithms, automatic detection of model degradations, automatic tuning of rules, human-understandable machine learning explanations, model fairness mitigation algorithms, alert suppression techniques, biometric identification of trojan attacks and more.

According to the latest Quarterly Financial Crime Report, which analysed consumer spending trends from more than 1.5 billion global transactions, consumers’ shift to digital banking has gotten stronger. The data reveals a continuous move to cashless transactions, with a 146% increase in P2P payments, a 44% decrease in cash transactions, and a 109% increase in online transactions, to nearly double the number of card-present or in-person transactions. With this focus on digital payments, financial criminals have also shifted their targets online.

The ability to restore a plant’s immunity to pests and diseases, and improve quality, taste and flavor in many crops also has the potential to revolutionize the AgriFood Tech sector. Key benefits of the platform include more access to natural food products for customers and less chemicals required in growing food.

“This investment reflects our expanding interest in the application of biotech in agriculture,” said Michael Krel, Partner at Sofinnova Partners, and a key member of the Sofinnova Industrial Biotech Funds. “Meiogenix has the potential to revolutionize the way we enhance the natural properties of plants so that they are more resistant to viruses, better tasting, and produce higher yield. We are confident in this team’s ability to bring its groundbreaking science to significantly improve the safety and sustainability of our global food systems.”

The Meiogenix platform addresses the $50 billion commercial seed market and breeding capabilities of large and essential crops like corn, wheat, rice, soybeans and tomatoes.

“Our investment in Meiogenix is based on their unique approach to solving critical bottlenecks in food production for the commercial seed industry, a rapidly growing market expected to surpass $60 billion by 2025,” said Jenny Rooke, Ph.D., Founder and Managing Director of Genoa Ventures. “The agriculture industry is ripe for translating great innovations in life sciences to agricultural applications, and leaders in the space are investing heavily in the latest gene editing technologies to accelerate improved product development. Meiogenix’s relationships with innovative industry leaders like Bayer further demonstrate the enormous potential for the Meiogenix platform to usher in the next stage of progress for the agricultural industry.”

About Meiogenix
Meiogenix is a pioneer in chromosome editing, developing broadly applicable gene and chromosome editing capabilities that restore essential biodiversity to agriculture, enabling unity between natural ecosystems and our food production. Meiogenix has collaborations with Cornell and Bayer to help develop crops that improve our food supply while caring for our environment.
