MICROVIABLE-THERAPEUTICS
Microviable Therapeutics SL, a preclinical stage biotechnology company developing orally administered biological drugs based on microbiota-derived products, announced 1.5 million euros seed funding from the private medical group Inmunomet Intolerancia y Disbiosis SL.
Microviable will use the seed funding to enhance their therapeutic development platform and advance their pipeline to the clinical stage. The lead product, MVT-201, is under evaluation at pre-clinical stage with positive results, and it is an unique in its kind biological drug based on complete microbiota (HiPMTM ) for undisclosed targets. The microbiota-derived product development platform also includes rationally design and defined bacterial consortia that will be advanced with this funding.
This investment will enable to consolidate Microviable’s growth and focus towards the therapeutics, while increasing their facilities and headcount.
“We are really excited for Microviable´s future and grateful for this opportunity to bring novel solutions to healthcare with the ultimate goal of improving the patients’ quality of life” , said Claudio Hidalgo Cantabrana, PhD, co-founder and CEO at Microviable. “We wanted a strategic partner that shares our vision of using microbiota-derived biological drugs to treat patients while providing smart capital, and Inmunomet fulfills all of our expectations”.
Inmunomet is a private medical group specialized in intolerances and gut dysbiosis related disorders with strong experience on the clinic. With this investment, Inmunomet is seeking to be part of Microviable´s growth being ahead on the development of novel solutions based on microbiota-derived biotherapeutic products. Inmunomet provides not only the funding but smart capital and synergies on the clinic, very well aligned with Microviable focus and providing access to the real-world clinical needs to address unmet challenges in human health.

Cellares Expands Global Smart Factory Network With European Headquarters in the Netherlands12.1.2026 13:30:00 CET | Press release
Cellares’ new IDMO Smart Factory in Leiden, Netherlands, expands commercial-scale manufacturing capacity for European cell therapy patient populations through a standardized, automated, and highly scalable facility model Cellares, the first Integrated Development and Manufacturing Organization (IDMO), today announced it has secured a site and signed a long-term lease for a new IDMO Smart Factory at Leiden Bio Science Park (LBSP) with Dura Vermeer Commercieel Vastgoed. The facility will serve as Cellares’ European headquarters and expand the company’s global manufacturing network with dedicated regional capacity. Cell therapy manufacturing is patient-specific and time-sensitive, making regional production capacity increasingly important as programs advance from clinical development toward commercial supply. The new Netherlands hub is designed to provide European drug developers with access to automated manufacturing infrastructure, while maintaining alignment to a common production stan
France Expands National AAC Access for Agenus' Botensilimab + Balstilimab for Ovarian Cancer and Soft-Tissue Sarcomas12.1.2026 13:30:00 CET | Press release
Updated national AAC protocol supports hospital-based, fully-reimbursed compassionate access across three solid tumor settings Agenus Inc. (Nasdaq: AGEN), a leader in immuno-oncology innovation, today announced that France’s National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety (ANSM) has approved an updated national treatment protocol for botensilimab (BOT) plus balstilimab (BAL) under France’s Autorisation d’Accès Compassionnel (AAC) framework. The updated protocol expands France’s previously granted AAC authorization for BOT+BAL in patients with microsatellite-stable (MSS) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) without active liver metastases to eligible patients with certain ovarian cancers and soft-tissue sarcomas—diseases with substantial unmet medical need after standard options have been exhausted. The revised protocol is designed to broaden the eligibility criteria, allowing more patients with advanced solid tumors to have early access to BOT+BAL under reimbursed compassionate
Lilac and Traxys Announce Binding 10-Year Offtake Agreement for Great Salt Lake Lithium Production12.1.2026 13:00:00 CET | Press release
Definitive agreement secures 100% of Phase 1 production, advancing project toward final investment decision Lilac Solutions, a leading provider of direct lithium extraction technology, and Traxys North America, a leading global physical trader and merchant in metals and natural resources, today announced a binding 10-year offtake agreement for lithium carbonate produced at Lilac's Great Salt Lake facility in Utah. The agreement represents a major milestone in advancing the project toward construction and establishes a clear commercial pathway for one of the nearest-term domestic lithium projects in the United States.

Ant International Partners with Google’s Universal Commerce Protocol to Expand AI Capabilities12.1.2026 02:15:00 CET | Press release
Ant International, a leading global payment, digitisation, and financial technology provider, is collaborating on the launch of Google’s Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP), a new open standard for agentic commerce that works across the entire shopping journey — from discovery and buying to post-purchase support. UCP establishes a common language for agents and systems to operate together across consumer surfaces, businesses, and payment providers to enable commerce. So instead of requiring unique connections for every individual agent, UCP enables all agents to interact easily. UCP is built to work across verticals and is compatible with existing industry protocols like Agent2Agent (A2A), Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), and Model Context Protocol (MCP). “For agentic commerce to scale, it’s critical for the industry to align on a common set of standards. We are proud to have Ant International endorse the Universal Commerce Protocol as the foundation for that future,” said Ashish Gupta, VP
