Environmental Performance Financing (EPF), a subsidiary of the Alpha Blue Ocean group, is proud to announce its collaboration with Europlasma (ALEUP:FP), a leader in depollution, material recovery, and decarbonation solutions, for the establishment of a bond financing arrangement.
This financing aims to support the Group's growth and development, particularly in key initiatives such as:
- The acquisition of MG-Valdunes: Europlasma has obtained the green light for the acquisition of MG-Valdunes' business assets, a crucial step towards strengthening industrial sovereignty and relaunching Valdunes' historic activities.
- The development of the Forges de Tarbes: Funds will also be allocated to increasing the production capacities of the Forges de Tarbes, which are facing growing demand, particularly in the defense sector.
- The continued development of historical activities: A significant portion of the funds will be dedicated to the ongoing development of depollution, decarbonation, and hazardous waste recovery activities, a domain in which Europlasma has excelled for years.
This partnership will strengthen Europlasma's market position while contributing to the achievement of essential environmental objectives.
This collaboration illustrates ABO Group's commitment to financing innovative and sustainable environmental projects.
Pierre Vannineuse, CIO and Founder of Alpha Blue Ocean: "We are delighted to announce the renewal of our partnership with Europlasma for a 7th significant financing contract. This long-standing collaboration represents our commitment to supporting innovative and sustainable environmental projects over the long term. After seven years of fruitful collaboration with Europlasma, this new contract once again illustrates the success of our joint efforts. Europlasma embodies a French industrial flagship and an unparalleled global reference in its sector. We are all fully committed to establishing this collaboration on a lasting basis and to maintain the positive momentum that has been built in recent years.”
Jérôme Garnache-Creuillot, CEO Europlasma :
"I would like to thank the ABO team who continues to financially support the significant growth of the Europlasma Group. Without this support, the rescue of Forges de Tarbes in 2021 would have been impossible. Today, their expertise is preserved, and they contribute more each day to the production of large caliber shells. ABO’s loyal support, as well as that of the Economic and Social Development Fund and local authorities, enables Europlasma to save Valdunes, the last French manufacturer of train wheels and axles. Thus, thanks to this funding, another French expertise, once again strategic, is preserved."

Klarna Card reaches 5 million active customers19.3.2026 15:31:00 CET | Press release
Klarna, the global digital bank and payments provider, today announced that the Klarna Card has reached 5 million active customers globally, underscoring rapid adoption as consumers shift towards new forms of payment which provide more control over day-to-day money management. The card draws from the customer's own funds for everyday spending, with the option to spread the cost of a specific purchase, like a large appliance or a flight, when it makes sense to do so. The result is a card that offers genuine spending control without the long-term debt obligations that come with traditional credit cards. The card’s growth is reinforced by Klarna’s membership program. The program offers premium perks such as airport lounge access, travel insurance, and lifestyle subscriptions — without requiring users to take on debt, meet spending thresholds, or revolve balances. By separating everyday spending from rewards, Klarna is challenging the strings-attached model legacy banks have long relied on

Armis Launches First-of-Its-Kind Benchmark Report Warning of Critical Security Gaps in AI-Native Development19.3.2026 13:00:00 CET | Press release
Research reveals 100% of leading generative AI models fail to generate secure code for critical development scenarios Armis, the cyber exposure management & security company, is warning that the rapid enterprise adoption of AI-native development is outpacing critical security safeguards, leaving organizations exposed to systemic vulnerabilities. New research from Armis Labs’ Trusted Vibing Benchmark Report, which evaluates 18 leading generative AI models across 31 test scenarios, reveals a 100% failure rate in generating secure code. These vulnerabilities are most prevalent in high-risk areas like memory buffer overflows, design file uploads and authentication systems. Therefore, organizations should immediately implement AI-native application security controls to reduce risk. “The era of vibe coding is here, but speed should not come at the cost of security,” said Nadir Izrael, CTO and Co-Founder of Armis. “Our research finds that the worst offenders are the same ones selling security
