Esri Joins Digital Twin Consortium

Esri , the global leader in location intelligence, today announced it has joined the Digital Twin Consortium . This authoritative community of users brings together industry, government, and academia to drive consistency in vocabulary, architecture, security, and interoperability of digital twin technology. Esri provides ArcGIS software to organizations across industries, enabling them to connect detailed building information models (BIM) to their natural surroundings, as well as connecting to and collaborating with other networks and systems.

While many organizations have deployed some version of a digital twin to solve a particular challenge, they usually do so on an ad hoc basis without a larger strategy or vision. This has resulted in many siloed models that are fragmented and disconnected from other critical information systems.

“We are excited to join the consortium along with our partners, including Autodesk and Microsoft, to demonstrate how users can benefit from GIS when developing digital twins,” said Matt Piper, Esri global industry director for utilities and AEC. “Esri’s technology gives customers the ability to visualize, understand, and analyze geographic information at a large scale by connecting and interacting with disparate systems.”

The digital twin is a virtual representation of the built and natural world. It allows organizations to capture, model, visualize, simulate, analyze and predict information by interconnecting many information systems to better improve decision making.

“Business requirements are changing, and this change is driving innovation and the adoption of more integrated solutions,” continued Piper. “Users may have created a digital twin of a facility or plant structure in the past, but it wouldn’t be connected to other systems. Esri’s ArcGIS software enables organizations to see digital twins in the context of other information models, like electric and water networks or the environment.”

The ArcGIS system is the foundation for digital twins providing reality capture, GIS and BIM integration, real-time IoT, advanced AI, and machine learning.

New Research Reveals the Next Wealth Management Divide: AI Rewards Firms Built to Scale10.6.2026 12:34:00 CEST | Press release

The market is entering a new phase where innovation alone is no longer a differentiator, and AI in particular risks widening operational gaps across banking, wealth and asset management. Weak foundations, poor execution and lack of strategic sourcing models are the structural barriers preventing institutions from translating technology investment into scalable, profitable growth.Key takeaways Leaders are significantly more likely to report profitability increases above 15%, demonstrating a direct link between scalability and financial performance. Integration issues across systems are identified as the single biggest barrier to scalable growth. Externalisation and as-a-service models are a primary lever of profitable scale, regardless of firm’s size. Competitive advantage will not come from where AI is deployed, but from how it is embedded and translated into business outcomes. The strategy is the sequence: foundations first, externalisation as accelerator, AI as amplifier. The next co

From Cutting-Edge Research to Industry: Focused Energy Plans Spin-Off of Sourcelight10.6.2026 11:38:00 CEST | Press release

Following its successful USD 240 million financing round, Focused Energy is continuing to systematically advance the industrialization of laser fusion as its core business. At the same time, the company plans to consolidate its activities in the field of laser-driven radiation sources into an independent entity under the name Sourcelight. With this move, Focused Energy is laying the groundwork for the industrial transfer of selected technological building blocks emerging from its laser fusion development. The spin-off demonstrates how cutting-edge research can give rise to new industry: scientific excellence is translated into industrial applications with strong value creation and growth potential. Sourcelight is intended to bring the LDRS (Laser-Driven Radiation Sources) technology developed by Focused Energy into targeted industrial applications. The technology combines laser-driven high-energy X-rays and neutrons in a single system. This enables not only high-resolution imaging, but

Cosylab and Heron Neutron Medical Corp. Sign Letter of Intent to Advance Global Deployment of Accelerator-Based BNCT Systems10.6.2026 11:30:00 CEST | Press release

Cosylab and Heron Neutron Medical Corp. announced today, 10 June 2026, the signing of a Letter of Intent to establish a strategic framework for joint market development to support the global deployment of Accelerator-Based Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (AB-BNCT) systems. The collaboration aims to accelerate the development and integration of sophisticated software solutions for use with AB-BNCT while strengthening AB-BNCT's international market access and business development. By combining Cosylab's proven expertise in mission-critical software and complex system integration with Heron's end-to-end BNCT platforms, the partnership aims to drive broader global clinical adoption of this highly targeted cancer treatment modality. "AB-BNCT is emerging as one of the most promising approaches for treating difficult-to-treat and recurrent cancers," said Mark Pleško, Chief Executive Officer of Cosylab. "This collaboration reinforces our strategic focus on advancing radiation therapy technologie

LTM Introduces BlueVerse™ Currency to Enable Outcome-Based Pricing in the Agentic AI Era10.6.2026 10:30:00 CEST | Press release

LTM, the Business Creativity partner to the world’s largest enterprises, today introduced BlueVerse™ Currency, an AI-linked commercial model that prices enterprise work by outcomes rather than effort consumed as enterprises scale agentic AI across core processes. BlueVerse Currency brings together the full BlueVerse stack—People (expertise on demand), Accelerators (reusable assets that speed delivery), Agents (autonomous AI workforce), Platforms (orchestration layer to scale delivery), and Tokens (compute and model usage)—into a single commercial construct. It introduces outcome-linked pricing tied to measurable business results, enabling shared productivity gains so clients can capture AI-driven efficiency value. The model also supports fungible resourcing, enabling reallocation mid-contract to evolving priorities, and faster reinvestment, with savings redirected into innovation. It is underpinned by a hybrid structure with fixed and variable pricing components, supported by use-case–
