With these incremental financial flows of capital , Netweek will be in a position to grow within the digital space while strengthening its assets along the way ”
The Managing Partner of LDA Capital, Mr. Anthony Romano, said:
“The global pandemic has significantly caused a shift towards online media, seeing an increase in online news consumption, social networking, and online public services. Due to this shift to a virtual news platform from traditional newspaper, LDA sees tremendous opportunity in supporting versatile managers and growth-oriented companies like Netweek to overcome these consumer shifts and emerge as a stronger player in the publishing space.
Through our flexible capital solutions, LDA is pleased to assist an established online media group such as Netweek as it seeks to push ahead with its newly approved busines plan, as it adapts to these new online consumer demands.”

ARIS, the process context platform enabling enterprise AI deployment, today announced its recognition as a Leader in the inaugural Gartner Magic Quadrant for Digital Twin of An Organization (DTO) Platforms – where it believes agentic AI, autonomous workflows, and enterprise governance converge.

"Enterprises are rightfully ambitious about agentic AI and autonomous workflows," said Guillaume Bacuvier, CEO of ARIS. "But they're discove
