Announcement reflects growing collaboration among Canadian technology leaders

MONTREAL, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – Bell Canada (TSX: BCE) (NYSE: BCE), Cohere, Hypertec and BUZZ High Performance Computing (HPC), a subsidiary of Hive Digital Technologies (TSX: HIVE) (NASDAQ: HIVE), today announced a major AI infrastructure deal, marking a significant step forward in the development and deployment of advanced AI workloads on sovereign Canadian infrastructure.

Cohere, Hypertec, BUZZ HPC and Bell AI Fabric

The collaboration brings together Bell AI Fabric’s data centre and connectivity foundation, Cohere’s secure enterprise-grade AI solutions and large language model capabilities, and BUZZ HPC’s scalable accelerated computing infrastructure, powered by NVIDIA’s DSX AI factory platform and built on hardware manufactured in Canada by Hypertec.

Together, the four companies will build the conditions needed to conduct the critical R&D needed for AI models – using Canadian infrastructure, with Canadian partners – reinforcing Canada’s digital sovereignty and economic resilience.

Today’s announcement reflects the growing collaboration among Canadian technology leaders since the launch of Bell AI Fabric and the Canadian Sovereign AI Alliance. As organizations move from AI experimentation to large-scale deployment, demand is increasing for high-performance infrastructure that enables Canadian AI – supporting greater control over data, performance and security, and reinforcing the importance of Canadian-based AI capabilities.

Under the agreement, which builds on previously announced partnerships, Bell will provide data centre capacity and connectivity services from its Merritt, British Columbia facility, purpose-built for advanced AI workloads. BUZZ HPC will deliver the AI-native cloud layer using Hypertec’s Canadian-built hardware cluster and NVIDIA accelerated computing to support production-grade AI workloads, while Cohere will use the platform to operate its foundation models and support secure enterprise-grade AI solutions for government and enterprise customers.

The announcement further reinforces Bell AI Fabric’s role in supporting sovereign AI – bringing together connectivity, data centres, compute, professional services and cybersecurity to create a platform for Canadian organizations and global innovators operating in Canada.

As demand for AI continues to grow, Bell AI Fabric, Cohere, Hypertec and BUZZ HPC will support customers seeking a high-performance Canadian AI stack with strong economics for providers and enterprises.

Quotes

“Canada has the talent and innovation to lead in AI – what’s been missing is the ambition to bring the right ingredients together. This landmark deal helps close that gap. Through our partnership, Cohere will operate its AI models in Bell AI Fabric infrastructure, enabled by the combined capabilities of Hypertec and BUZZ HPC. This agreement underscores the role Bell AI Fabric is playing in helping organizations move from experimentation to production on infrastructure that is located, operated and governed in Canada.”

– Michel Richer, President, Bell AI Fabric

“For enterprises and governments, adopting AI is not just about having access to powerful models. It’s about knowing where those models run, how data is protected and whether the technology can be deployed with the security and reliability their work requires. This collaboration gives Cohere another way to support customers in Canada with advanced AI that is built for real use, on infrastructure that reflects Canadian priorities.”

– Michael Pelosi, Country Manager, Canada, Cohere

“Advanced AI infrastructure requires highly engineered systems, deep technical talent and expertise, and the ability to deploy and support these solutions at scale. As an NVIDIA OEM partner, Hypertec delivers many of the industry’s most advanced AI server platforms, with the ability to optimize architectures for customers’ specific AI and HPC workloads. Through this partnership, we are combining cutting-edge compute infrastructure with the deployment, integration, and service capabilities required to operate next-generation AI environments reliably and efficiently.”

– Don Schlidt, President, Hypertec HPC & AI, HCM

“AI does not scale on ideas alone, it scales on data centres, specialized GPU compute, sophisticated models and operational execution. This partnership brings together a combination of capabilities that does not exist anywhere else in Canada today: Bell’s national platform, Cohere’s world-class enterprise AI models, Hypertec’s Canadian-built GPU servers, and BUZZ’s AI factory expertise and sovereign AI cloud powered by NVIDIA’s full-stack AI factory platform. The early momentum behind this partnership has been overwhelming because it solves a real national gap: giving Canada the sovereign AI infrastructure required to turn ambition into impact. For Canadians, this means building the infrastructure to use AI responsibly, improve lives and compete globally. Canada helped invent modern AI. Now we are building the factories to power it.”

– Craig Tavares, President and COO, BUZZ HPC

“Canada cannot compete in the global AI economy without the infrastructure, talent and partnerships to support it. This collaboration brings those elements together – linking infrastructure, compute, and advanced AI capabilities in a way that helps support organizations strengthen control over data and innovation. It reflects the strength of Canada’s AI ecosystem and the importance of continued collaboration among innovators to ensure that economic growth, jobs and intellectual property are developed and retained here at home. This is the kind of progress we need to strengthen Canada’s position in a rapidly evolving global landscape.”

The Empty Nest Is on Hold: 1 in 3 Adults Under 35 Lives With Their Parents, Realtor.com® Finds

PR Newswire

Most Young Adults Living With Parents Are Employed: Data Points to Housing Affordability, Not Jobs

AUSTIN, Texas, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A record 25.2 million adults under 35 lived with their parents in 2025, surpassing even the pandemic peak, as housing costs continue to price young adults out of independent living, according to a new Realtor.com® report released today. One in 3 adults under 35 now shares a roof with a parent, a rate that has held near its 2020 record high with little sign of easing.

The numbers reflect the accumulated weight of more than a decade of housing underproduction, which has kept persistent upward pressure on housing costs. Had early-2000s co-residence patterns held, 4.86 million fewer young adults would be living with their parents today. Instead, a national median home listing price of $430,000 — 34.4% above 2019 levels — and a median asking rent of $1,673 — 17.9% above 2019 levels — have made independent living financially out of reach for millions. The United States currently faces a deficit of approximately 4 million homes, a gap that has widened since the construction slowdown following the 2008 financial crisis.

“The adults living with their parents today are largely employed, and many hold college degrees. What’s holding them back isn’t a lack of qualifications, but rather, at least in part, a lack of housing they can actually afford,” said Hannah Jones, Senior Economist at Realtor.com®. “This is a supply story, not an employment story.”

A Record High That Keeps Climbing
The 33.0% co-residence rate among adults under 35 in 2025 sits just below the 2020 all-time high of 33.6%, and the absolute count of 25.2 million has now surpassed it. The share has held at or near its pandemic peak since 2022. The pattern across the last two decades follows the same arc: crisis, spike, partial retreat, and a new, higher floor.

The first major increase came during the Great Recession, when co-residence rates rose sharply and did not recover when the economy did. The second came with COVID, as the overall share jumped to 33.6% in 2020. A brief retreat in 2022 reflected a narrow cohort that caught historically low mortgage rates before the window closed. Everyone behind them faced elevated rates, limited inventory, and elevated rents, and by 2025 the count had climbed to a new record.

Who Is Living at Home
The adults living with their parents in 2025 do not fit the stereotype. Among those aged 25 to 34, approximately 70% are employed. In 2000, roughly 1 in 9 adults in their late 20s were both employed and living at home; by 2025, that ratio had grown to nearly 1 in 7, even as employment rates within the group held steady. The divergence points directly at housing costs, not labor market conditions.

Roughly 9 in 10 adults aged 25 to 34 living with parents have never been married, up from 79% in 2000, and about 1 in 3 aged 25 to 29 holds a four-year degree, up from fewer than 1 in 4 at the start of the century. The growth in co-residence is a story of delayed household formation.

Men make up the majority of at-home adults at every age, though the gap is narrowing at younger ages. Among 18 to 24-year-olds the split is now nearly even at 51.5% male, compared to 55/45 in 2000.

The Generational Divide Within the Data

The data splits differently depending on cohort. Among adults aged 25 to 29, co-residence has seen a modest retreat from recent highs, driven by adults now 28 to 29 who were in their early 20s during the 2020 to 2021 low-rate window and found footing before conditions tightened. The 25 to 26-year-olds behind them hit peak renting age just as rates and prices surged in 2022 to 2023, and show no such improvement.

The 30 to 34 group tells the other half of the same story. At 12.7% co-residence in 2025, nearly double the 7.1% recorded in 2000, this group largely consists of adults who were 25 to 29 during the pandemic and never fully launched. The improvement at 25 to 29 and the rise at 30 to 34 are the same cohort at different stages of the same delayed exit.

What This Means for the Housing Market
“Twenty-five million adults living with their parents represents a generation of latent demand the market hasn’t absorbed,” said Jones. “Every adult still in a childhood bedroom is a household not formed, a lease unsigned, a starter home unpurchased. The typical first-time buyer is now 40 — that’s not a coincidence, it’s the math of a market that hasn’t built enough.”

The delay carries a real financial cost. As Realtor.com® research on generational wealth has shown, each year spent at home rather than building equity is a year of wealth accumulation deferred. Until affordability improves and entry-level supply expands, that latent demand will continue to build.

Methodology
Co-residence data in this report are drawn from the IPUMS Current Population Survey (CPS) Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC), covering survey years 2000–2025. The CPS ASEC is conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau and represents the largest annual household survey in the United States. All population estimates use CPS person-level weights (ASECWT) to produce nationally representative figures. Adults are defined as individuals aged 18 and above. Co-residence is defined as living as “child of head” of household, based on the RELATE variable in the IPUMS extract. The 2014 survey year is excluded from all trend analyses due to a CPS sample expansion that year which creates a discontinuity in absolute population counts; percentage shares are unaffected but the year is omitted for consistency.

The counterfactual analysis in the Trends section applies the average co-residence rate at each single year of age (18–34) from 2000–2003 to the actual adult population in each subsequent year. The resulting figures represent how many adults would be living with parents had early-2000s co-residence patterns persisted, holding age structure and population growth constant.

Employment, marital status, educational attainment, and sex breakdowns are drawn from the same IPUMS CPS extract using EMPSTAT, MARST, EDUC, and SEX variables respectively.

Citi and CREATE-Research Report: Innovation in Asset Management Pivots to ‘Operational Alpha’

Citi and CREATE-Research Report: Innovation in Asset Management Pivots to ‘Operational Alpha’

Key Highlights:

  • A new Citi and CREATE-Research report reveals a strategic pivot in asset management innovation, with firms now prioritizing operational excellence and process transformation
  • This shift to ‘operational alpha’ aspires to improve client responsiveness and productivity, with partnerships emerging as a core capability to accelerate innovation
  • While full digital transformation will evolve gradually, key trends like mutual fund to ETF conversions are gaining traction. Citi’s Services business is investing over US$2 billion annually to modernize its solutions and empower clients

LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Citi Investor Services and CREATE-Research today released its latest report “Upping the Innovation Game in the Asset Management Industry”, highlighting how firms are prioritizing operational excellence, process transformation and partnerships as the next frontier of innovation in asset management. The report findings were drawn from a survey of 221 asset managers across 26 countries managing a total of US$34.8 trillion in Assets under Management. Respondents were polled from February to May 2026.

In addition to 40 interviews with senior executives from a cross-section of survey respondents, the report highlights a shift from product innovation to process and organizational driven innovation, as firms seek to deliver operational alpha by turning their infrastructure into a competitive edge to improve investor outcomes.

Primary findings:

  • The scope of innovation is changing: While innovation remains crucial with 59% viewing it as an overall priority, the scope is moving beyond new products to operational process and organizational transformation as firms respond to fee pressure and rising complexity post the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. 62% cited process innovation as a priority, followed by 41% for organizational innovation and 28% for product innovation. The scope of innovation has expanded to operational excellence for improved costs, quality and credibility.
  • Innovations are targeting multiple goals: Innovation efforts now serve multiple purposes, with 83% citing being more responsive to client needs as a key goal. This includes meeting clients’ return expectations and risk appetites within cost-effective fee structures. 74% reported improving productivity across the value chain as a main goal, while 64% believe in enhancing operating leverage to improve scale.
  • Mutual funds to ETF conversions are gaining client traction: 57% cite the conversion of mutual funds into ETFs as delivering the most client value, underscoring the role of ETFs as an efficient ownership structure for on-exchange assets and a leading investment vehicle in innovation.
  • The digital future will evolve gradually: Despite progress in AI and automation, digital transformation remains a long-term journey, with 57% expecting it to take more than five years as asset managers progress towards a digital future. Challenges include data reliability and explainability issues arising from self-learning systems. Asset managers are taking a measured, “learning by doing” approach in driving the current rate of adoption.
  • Partnership at scale is becoming a strategic core capability: Outsourcing is now evolving into partnerships at scale, with 44% viewing collaboration with third parties as a means to build scale, enhance capabilities, and share risk by combining unique capabilities. Asset managers also view partnerships as an enabler to accelerate innovation and achieve operational alpha.

Chris Cox, Global Head of Investor Services at Citi, commented: “The report highlights that asset managers are increasingly looking to form partnerships not just for efficiency, but as a strategy to accelerate innovation and enhance client outcomes. At Citi, driving innovation to deliver client solutions is integral to our growth agenda. Clients deserve true transparency and instant market information to deliver the services their clients will expect. Services continues to invest over US$2 billion annually in platform modernization delivering uniquely integrated securities and cash solutions in real-time. Digital assets will be integrated into the same rails. We are committed to empowering our asset manager clients to build scale, enhance their capabilities and accelerate their innovation agendas.”

Amin Rajan, CEO of CREATE-Research and the lead author, commented: “Innovation has been a key instrument for asset managers of all sizes and hues to help them remain relevant in a landscape where competition has turned from benign to malign.”

Natera to Showcase Organ Health Leadership with 21 Presentations at the American Transplant Congress

Natera to Showcase Organ Health Leadership with 21 Presentations at the American Transplant Congress

Data, including seven oral presentations, highlight the clinical utility of Prospera™ across multiple organs

AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Natera, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRA), a global leader in cell-free DNA and precision medicine, today announced its robust scientific presence at the upcoming American Transplant Congress (ATC), taking place June 20-24, 2026. The company and its collaborators will share 21 presentations, including seven oral presentations, highlighting the utility of the Prospera test to inform risk assessment and long-term graft monitoring across kidney, heart, lung, and multi-organ transplant.

Some of the most anticipated Prospera study data to be shared include:

  • Even when biopsy results are negative for rejection, elevated Prospera dd-cfDNA levels were strongly predictive of future adverse outcomes, including eGFR decline, DSA positivity, and graft loss. New data from the PEDAL study in 346 kidney transplant patients with non-rejection biopsy results showed that patients with positive Prospera results, which occurred in 18.2% of these cases, had significantly higher rates of adverse outcomes, including >6X the rate of graft loss. The data suggest that positive dd-cfDNA results indicate an increased risk for adverse outcomes, even when biopsy does not show rejection.
  • Patients with persistently low Prospera dd-cfDNA levels had reliable and significantly lower adverse outcome rates, which may enable confident decisions to lower immunosuppression. In a new analysis of 989 kidney transplant recipients from the ProActive study, when a patient’s Prospera dd-cfDNA donor-fraction remained <0.5%, patients had significantly lower rates of adverse outcomes, including ~12X reduced odds of future rejection and ~5.5X reduced odds of future graft loss. These results demonstrate that low Prospera dd-cfDNA was prognostic of durable graft stability and reiterate the importance of ongoing and regular monitoring.

“Natera is leading the next phase of studies and evidence generation for dd-cfDNA,” said Sangeeta Bhorade, M.D., chief medical officer, organ health, Natera. “It is well established that Prospera identifies rejection, and our new data, like that from PEDAL and ProActive, are evaluating its impact on real clinical decision making for transplant patients. These data reinforce the importance of using the Prospera test regularly as a non-invasive way to monitor patients and help guide care decisions that may support longer graft life and better outcomes.”
