Munich – September 11, 2026 -- Only 52% of consumers in Germany and France are aware of the EU Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet, according to a new consumer study by IDnow, just months before the technology's mandated December 2026 rollout. The digital identity and fraud prevention platform surveyed 1,000 adults in each country and found that trust, not speed, will determine adoption.

Nearly half of consumers abandon transactions over complex verification

48% of respondents said they frequently abandon transactions when identity verification is too complicated or takes too long, exposing a commercial cost that financial institutions already absorb today. IDnow argues this friction creates both the market opportunity and the credibility hurdle the EUDI Wallet must clear.

Los Angeles – – September 11, 2026 -- Highlands Community Services, a regional behavioral health provider in Southwest Virginia, will be featured in an upcoming segment of the Public Television series "All Access hosted by Andy Garcia," spotlighting trauma-informed care models designed to close service gaps in rural mental health and addiction treatment.

Program targets justice-system diversion for behavioral health crises

The segment examines how sparse rural infrastructure often forces law enforcement officers to act as primary responders during acute psychiatric emergencies, a pattern that drives unnecessary arrests and strains public resources. Highlands Community Services details how direct referral pathways and trauma-informed training for first responders, educators and local agencies redirect individuals from the justice system into clinical treatment settings.

Toronto – September 11, 2026 -- Power Metallic Mines Inc. (TSXV: PNPN) has declared an inaugural Mineral Resource Estimate for the Lion Zone at its Nisk Project in Quebec, containing approximately 406 million pounds of copper-equivalent (CuEq) with more than 85% classified as Indicated.

Lion resource grades near 4% CuEq across 4.75 million tonnes

The Lion deposit holds 4,145,000 tonnes Indicated at 3.86% CuEq (1.68% Cu, 2.61 g/t Pd, 0.85 g/t Pt, 0.49 g/t Au, 12.21 g/t Ag, 0.10% Ni), plus 601,000 tonnes Inferred at 4.01% CuEq. The estimate, prepared by SGS Canada Inc. under NI 43-101 standards, carries an effective date of June 19, 2026, and incorporates drilling completed to April 19, 2026. Approximately 59% of the tonnage sits within the open-pit resource, and mineralization starts at surface.

Tokyo – September 11, 2026 -- transcosmos inc. has officially launched trans-AI Chat, a generative AI-powered chatbot, in Indonesia, expanding its customer experience (CX) technology footprint in the country.

Chatbot uses large language models to replace scripted conversation flows

Unlike conventional chatbots built on predefined scripts, trans-AI Chat leverages large language models (LLMs) to interpret conversational context, recognize customer intent, and generate dynamic, human-like responses in real time.

Munich – September 11, 2026 -- Nearly half of European consumers, 46%, say they frequently abandon a transaction when identity verification is too complex or slow, according to a new IDnow survey released ahead of the EUDI Wallet's mandated December 2026 rollout.

The survey of 2,000 respondents across France and Germany, conducted by Sapio Research in June 2026, found that awareness of the EU Digital Identity Wallet remains low even as EU member states are required to make it available to every citizen by December 2026, with banks obligated to accept it starting December 2027.

Security concerns outweigh speed as the top adoption driver

Forty percent of respondents cited better fraud protection as the decisive factor for accepting the EUDI Wallet, ahead of data control (31%) and transparency over data usage (29%). Faster, simpler processes ranked lower, decisive for only 28% of respondents.

Munich – September 11, 2026 -- Nearly half of consumers in France and Germany, 46%, abandon a transaction when identity verification is too complex or slow, according to a new survey from IDnow published ahead of the EU Digital Identity Wallet's scheduled December 2026 rollout.

The EUDI Wallet Consumer Survey, conducted by Sapio Research in June 2026 among 2,000 adults aged 18-80 (1,000 in France, 1,000 in Germany), found that awareness of the incoming digital identity system remains low while friction in current onboarding processes is already costing financial services providers customers.

Haifa/Frankfurt – September 11, 2026 -- Insightec has treated 10,000 patients across Europe, the Middle East and Africa with its Exablate Neuro platform for essential tremor and Parkinson's disease, a figure that has more than doubled over the past three years. The incisionless MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) therapy is now available at more than 62 treatment centers in 20 countries across the region, part of a global network exceeding 30,000 patients treated at 226 centers worldwide.

Treatment volumes double in three years as adoption accelerates

The EMEA milestone caps a decade of expansion for focused ultrasound in the region, with hospitals increasingly offering the incisionless approach to patients whose only prior options were medication or invasive surgery. Growth spans both essential tremor and Parkinson's disease indications, according to Jake Ghannam, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer at Insightec.

Lugano – – September 11, 2026 -- Fuze Finance has secured approval from the Supervisory Organisation for Financial Intermediaries and Trustees (SO-FIT) to operate as a supervised financial intermediary in Switzerland, marking the regulated crypto-assets infrastructure provider's first move into Western Europe. The approval, granted under the Anti-Money Laundering Act, allows Fuze to offer institutional clients crypto-asset infrastructure and stablecoin settlement alongside SWIFT, SEPA and SIC payment rails.

Four in five Swiss banks still lack a regulated crypto offering

Citing IMF data referencing FINMA, Fuze notes that roughly 80% of Swiss banks have yet to establish a regulated crypto-assets service, pointing to a supply gap in one of the world's largest private banking markets. The Swiss entry adds to Fuze's existing regulatory licenses in the Middle East, Turkey and Canada.

Amsterdam – September 11, 2026 -- NetActuate today launched the Media Substrate, a managed transport layer that runs redundant paths for contribution-grade live video across more than 45 global locations, available immediately in the company's Customer Portal ahead of IBC 2026.

Broadcasters send one stream while NetActuate manages dual paths beneath it

The service lets broadcasters send a single stream and receive a single stream, while NetActuate runs diverse paths across its network, merges them at egress, and measures latency and continuity on every hop. In a blackout test cited by the company, one path was taken fully dark and the merged output lost no data.

Kawasaki, Japan – September 11, 2026 -- Fujitsu has developed the world's first working prototype of a diamond-spin quantum computer that integrates tin-vacancy (SnV) centers into photonic integrated circuits, a milestone the company says advances the path toward scalable quantum systems.

Prototype runs at -271.6°C, warmer than superconducting rivals

The device operates at -271.6°C, a higher temperature threshold than the -273.13°C required by typical superconducting quantum computers. Fujitsu demonstrated in a test environment that the prototype can be operated via its Hybrid Quantum Computing Platform without requiring specialist quantum expertise, a factor that could lower operational barriers for enterprise adopters.
