IN-ARTMS/TELIX
12.1.2021 14:02:33 CET | Business Wire | Press release
ARTMS Inc. (‘ARTMS’) and Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX, ‘Telix’) are pleased to announce they have successfully produced Telix’s prostate cancer imaging product, TLX591-CDx (Kit for the preparation of 68 Ga-PSMA-11)1 , using multi-Curie quantities of cyclotron-produced Gallium-68 (68 Ga) via ARTMS’ proprietary Quantum Irradiation System (QIS®) solid target system.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210112005019/en/
The testing demonstrated an impressive six-hour stability of TLX591-CDx , a radiopharmaceutical targeting Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) for the imaging of prostate cancer using Positron Emission Tomography (PET). Testing exceeded all relevant quality control standards for both low- (50 mCi and 100 mCi) and mid-level output (over 2,500 mCi) 68 Ga production runs. The “cold kit” format of TLX591-CDx enables rapid radiolabelling at room temperature with high radiochemical purity and production consistency, ideally suited for the radiopharmacy setting.
ARTMS Chief Executive Officer, Charles S. Conroy, stated, “This collaboration and successful testing represents a significant step forward for the diagnosis of prostate cancer globally. The combination of Telix’s user friendly, high quality PSMA-11 kit along with robust production of 68 Ga using our solid targetry approach moves us closer to having a PET diagnostic agent on demand for clinicians. Our goal at ARTMS is to ensure that the 68 Ga supply is able to meet the substantial projected clinical demand for this isotope.”
Telix USA President, Dr Bernard Lambert, added, “When the Telix-ARTMS collaboration was announced in April 2020, we were confident that ARTMS’ proprietary technology to produce 68 Ga from specialized solid 68 Zn targets using low-energy cyclotrons would be valuable to the Molecular Imaging and Oncology community. ARTMS’ work represents a significant development in how 68 Ga is able to be supplied to the market for large-scale production and, as a result, will contribute to the reliability of access to all men living with prostate cancer who require advanced prostate imaging. This outcome is a testament to both the ARTMS technology and Telix’s proprietary formulation of PSMA-11”
ARTMS will continue the development of cyclotron-produced 68 Ga with a focus on optimizing production potential and satisfying regulatory requirements for use in radiopharmaceutical kits such as TLX591-CDx.

Electricity System Transformation Vital to Meet Future Needs, Arthur D. Little Blue Shift Report Finds1.6.2026 11:00:00 CEST | Press release
Arthur D. Little (ADL)’s Blue Shift Institute today published The Future of Electricity - From Building Capacity to Shaping Flexibility. The in-depth new report explores the growing pressures on electricity systems worldwide, and how they must transform to meet radically changing needs. With demand predicted to rise by 40-55% by 2035, it identifies practical strategies for maintaining reliability, affordability, and resilience. Electricity systems face profound challenges due to the accelerating electrification of end uses, increasing renewables deployments, and the digitalization of economies. Rising variability and system stress is already leading to instability, grid congestion, and disruption. Demonstrating this, an April 2025 blackout across the Iberian Peninsula led to at least eight deaths and an estimated US $1.8 billion in economic losses. Based on in-depth research and expert interviews, the report outlines the need to reshape infrastructure and operations to move from supply

AI Investment Boom Across the UK is Fuelled More by Fear of Missing out Than Actual Results, According to Expereo1.6.2026 10:00:00 CEST | Press release
Enterprises are investing aggressively in AI to avoid being left behind – but less than a quarter say AI implementations have exceeded expectations, often due to inadequate networks Enterprise AI spending is climbing rapidly, with boards racing to deploy the technology faster than they can measure whether it works. According to the latest IDC InfoBrief, commissioned by Expereo*, around 70% of organizations are investing in AI, motivated by its potential or by the fear of falling behind the competition, but they lag in disciplined ROI evaluation, and one in five (20%) admit they are investing aggressively in AI with little evaluation, driven by the fear of being left behind. The IDC InfoBrief, based on a survey of 800 technology leaders across Europe, the US, and APAC, found that AI has become one of the most prioritized technology investments globally. When asked which technologies their organization will prioritize in terms of effort and/or financial investment over the next 12 months
