Georgia’s Five Largest Banks to Transform Treasury Infrastructure in Landmark Partnership Between Nasdaq Calypso and The National Bank of Georgia

Shared Platform Backed by The National Bank of Georgia Will Deliver Trusted Global Infrastructure to Support Growth of the Banking Sector

TBILISI, Georgia and NEW YORK, July 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nasdaq (Nasdaq: NDAQ) today announced a landmark partnership with the National Bank of Georgia (NBG) to modernize the treasury and financial markets infrastructure across Georgia’s banking sector. Five of the country’s largest commercial banks — Bank of Georgia, TBC Bank, Liberty Bank, Terabank and Basisbank — will adopt the Nasdaq Calypso platform under a shared, common infrastructure model spanning the full front-to-back trade lifecycle. The initiative, operating under the Georgian Market Advancement Program (GMAP) and coordinated in collaboration with the Georgian Financial Markets Treasuries’ Association (GFMTA), represents a significant milestone in the development of Georgia’s capital markets.

Natia Turnava, Governor of the National Bank of Georgia, said: “Modernising Georgia’s treasury infrastructure is a strategic priority for the National Bank of Georgia and a critical step in the continued development of our financial system. By bringing the country’s five largest commercial banks onto a common, internationally recognized platform, we are raising the standard of risk management, regulatory oversight, and operational resilience across the sector. This initiative reflects our commitment to building a financial market that is robust, transparent, aligned with international best practice, and equipped to support Georgia’s continued economic growth.”

Why Georgia’s Banks Need a New Treasury Infrastructure Model

Georgia’s commercial banking sector has experienced double-digit growth over the past five years, with total assets approaching USD 38 billion – reflecting the depth and dynamism of the country’s financial system. As the sector has grown, so too has demand for more sophisticated treasury infrastructure capable of supporting complex securities and derivatives markets, enterprise-grade risk management, and increasingly rigorous regulatory standards. At the same time, the investment required to deploy and maintain such infrastructure at the individual institutional level represents a significant undertaking for any single bank. A shared, coordinated approach – pooling resources and expertise across the sector – provides the most efficient path to achieving that ambition at scale.

Magnus Haglind, Head of Capital Markets Technology at Nasdaq, said: “Georgia presents a compelling example of how the shared infrastructure model can unlock real value for individual institutions and the financial system as a whole. By drawing on Nasdaq’s experience navigating modernization programs at scale, firms gain access to deep institutional knowledge and the ability to evolve without bearing the full cost, risk, or operational complexity of doing it alone. GMAP reflects exactly the kind of structured, country-level framework that enables this type of transformation to succeed. We welcome the opportunity to support the National Bank of Georgia in this initiative, and to help Georgia’s banking sector build the infrastructure it needs for its next phase of growth.”

How Nasdaq Calypso Solves the Shared Infrastructure Challenge for Georgian Banks

The Nasdaq Calypso platform will be deployed as a shared infrastructure model, installed at a centralized location with each of the five participating banks represented as a separate entity within the same instance, with their data fully segregated. Each institution will benefit from a configuration adapted to its individual business requirements, risk profile, and operational context, while operating within a common framework that enables standardized reporting and workflows, shared market data, and collective governance, oversight, and audit capabilities.

The platform will span the complete trade lifecycle from front-office deal capture and pricing, through middle-office risk management and compliance, to back-office settlement, accounting, and financial reporting. This end-to-end architecture eliminates the need for multiple point solutions, reduces reconciliation overhead, and delivers a single source of truth for treasury operations across the sector.

Standardization also delivers systemic benefits beyond any single institution. With harmonized data and reporting across all five banks, the National Bank of Georgia gains materially enhanced visibility into treasury exposures, liquidity positions, and systemic risk, supporting more effective macroprudential supervision. Consistent audit trails and common reporting frameworks reduce the burden on both banks and regulators and provide a robust foundation for Georgia’s continued integration with international financial standards, including ISO 20022, the global messaging standard for financial data exchange.

Lasha Jugeli, Executive Secretary of the Georgian Financial Markets Treasuries’ Association, said: “The Georgian Market Advancement Program (GMAP) is the result of years of deliberate coordination across Georgia’s banking sector, and it marks a pivotal moment for our Association and the institutions we represent. By aligning on a shared infrastructure backed by Nasdaq’s global expertise and the National Bank of Georgia’s institutional support, and project management funding provided by Japan through the Japan–EBRD Cooperation Fund, our member banks are not only modernising their own operations — they are collectively raising the standard for treasury management across the sector. We are proud to have played a central role in bringing this initiative to fruition, and we look forward to the tangible benefits it will deliver for our members and for Georgia’s financial markets as a whole.”

The five participating banks collectively represent the majority of Georgia’s commercial banking sector assets, and their adoption of a common, internationally recognised platform marks a defining step in Georgia’s emergence as a modern, well-governed financial market.

IQM and Deutsche Bahn Demonstrate Quantum Algorithm for Railway Scheduling on Real Operational Data

IQM and Deutsche Bahn Demonstrate Quantum Algorithm for Railway Scheduling on Real Operational Data

A hybrid quantum-classical algorithm, executed end to end on IQM hardware, produced feasible schedules with Deutsche Bahn, the German rail operator, using a real operational dataset of 190 trips across five German cities.
The approach runs on today’s hardware and is designed to improve automatically as quantum processors scale, offering enterprises a model for extracting value now, ahead of fault-tolerant computing.
The collaboration reflects IQM’s push into enterprise adoption. The company has sold 24 quantum computers worldwide and listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and Nasdaq Helsinki in July 2026 under the ticker IQMX.

MUNICH–(BUSINESS WIRE)–IQM Quantum Computers (Nasdaq: IQMX), a global leader in full-stack superconducting quantum computers, today published the results of a research collaboration with Deutsche Bahn, Europe’s largest rail operator, exploring how quantum computing can improve railway scheduling.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260719172592/en/

IQM’s whitepaper on hybrid quantum optimization for railway scheduling, developed with Deutsche Bahn.

Using a real operational dataset from Deutsche Bahn, a schedule of 190 trips across five German cities translating into roughly 98,500 possible cycles, the two organizations developed and tested a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm designed for enterprise-scale optimization problems.

As detailed in a published whitepaper here, the IQM team applied the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) in manageable stages, with the quantum component solving smaller subproblems within a classical framework that manages the problem at full scale. The architecture is built to generalize: the same approach can be applied to comparable optimization challenges in logistics, energy, manufacturing and other sectors.

Three results stand out:

It works on today’s hardware. The approach delivered feasible, good-quality solutions without requiring hardware that does not yet exist. Enterprises can adopt this model now rather than waiting for fault-tolerant systems.

It improves automatically as hardware improves. Testing showed a statistically significant relationship between the size of the subproblem the quantum component could handle and the quality of the solution. As quantum processors scale, the same framework is expected to deliver better outcomes without redesign.

It ran end to end on IQM hardware. The full pipeline was executed on an IQM quantum computer, from problem formulation through to a usable result, establishing a baseline that enterprises and partners can build on.

“This collaboration shows that quantum computing is already capable of tackling the kind of large-scale, real-world optimization problems enterprises face every day,” said Dr. Inés de Vega, Chief Scientist of IQM Quantum Computers. “Working with Deutsche Bahn on a problem of this complexity gives us a clear blueprint for how quantum computing delivers value now, while scaling naturally as hardware improves.”

“Quantum computing is not going away. By tackling a real-world problem in a hybrid HPC and quantum computing environment, we have taken another step toward quantum advantage,” said Manfred Rieck, Head of Quantum Technology at Deutsche Bahn.

This collaboration focused on planning under known, stable conditions. Many enterprises face a faster-moving version of the same challenge: responding to disruptions in real time, on timescales of minutes rather than hours. The researchers note that the same hybrid architecture could, in principle, be adapted to this more time-sensitive class of problem as quantum hardware improves, extending the approach further into operational decision-making.

The collaboration reflects IQM’s focus on enterprise adoption of quantum computing through systems that customers own, operate and build on.

EVA LIVE TARGETS A $3 TRILLION GLOBAL DEFENSE, SATELLITE AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE OPPORTUNITY WITH PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF AIRBEAM WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES

Proposed acquisition brings access to more than 260 patents and advanced millimeter-wave semiconductor technology built upon a technology lineage that benefited from more than $150 million in cumulative research, development and commercialization investment, accelerating Eva Defense’s vision for autonomous drone swarms, resilient military communications, smart cities and future space infrastructure.

LAS VEGAS, NV, July 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Eva Live Inc. (NASDAQ: GOAI), a leading artificial intelligence technology company, today announced that it has signed a Letter of Intent to acquire a controlling 51% interest in Airbeam Wireless Technologies Inc., with an option to acquire the remaining 49%, in a transaction valuing Airbeam at approximately US$16 million.

The proposed acquisition positions Eva Live at the convergence of three of the fastest-growing technology sectors in the world—autonomous defense systems, AI communications infrastructure, and satellite networking—markets the Company believes collectively represent a $3 trillion global opportunity over the coming decades.

Airbeam Wireless Technologies is a wireless semiconductor company delivering 60GHz connectivity solutions for next-generation wireless networks and autonomous systems. Founded in 2019, the company acquired a a product portfolio from Lattice Semiconductor that includes access to more than 260 patents and semiconductor design assets covering WiHD, WiGig and advanced millimeter-wave technologies.

According to Airbeam’s historical documentation, the technology lineage represented by these assets traces back more than two decades and benefited from more than $150 million in cumulative research, development and commercialization investment across pioneering work at the University of California, Berkeley’s Berkeley Wireless Research Center, SiBeam, Silicon Image, Lattice Semiconductor, and related technology programs. Airbeam’s wireless modules deliver multi-gigabit wireless backhaul capable of supporting real-time AI processing at the edge and high-bandwidth networking for both defense and commercial applications. The company has also developed smart city infrastructure through its Mesh Smart platform, advanced wireless sensing technologies, and is a major contributor to the world’s largest decentralized OpenRoaming network, ROAM.

Eva Live believes the proposed acquisition represents a transformational step in the Company’s strategy to build one of the world’s leading artificial intelligence and autonomous systems companies by combining advanced AI with next-generation wireless communications capable of supporting defense, commercial and future space applications.

Building the Communications Backbone for Autonomous Warfare

Modern warfare is rapidly entering an era where autonomous systems will define operational superiority. The lessons emerging from conflicts around the world have demonstrated that the future of military capability will depend not only on intelligent autonomous platforms, but on communications networks capable of operating in highly contested electromagnetic environments.

Through Eva Defense, the Company intends to combine Airbeam’s advanced beamforming technology with Eva Live’s artificial intelligence platform to develop a next-generation communications architecture for autonomous drone swarms.

Unlike conventional omnidirectional radio systems, Airbeam’s highly directional millimeter-wave technology is designed to establish secure, adaptive, high-bandwidth communications between autonomous systems while supporting distributed mesh networking. Combined with Eva’s AI, future autonomous platforms are expected to dynamically establish communication paths, reroute around disruptions, synchronize missions in real time, optimize network topology and coordinate complex swarm operations with unprecedented speed and efficiency.

Eva believes this architecture has the potential to significantly improve the resilience, bandwidth and intelligence of autonomous communications operating in contested environments while enabling entirely new classes of autonomous military capability.

Built on More Than $150 Million of Engineering Innovation

Behind Airbeam’s technology is one of the most remarkable development stories in modern wireless communications.

The platform traces its origins to pioneering millimeter-wave research at the University of California, Berkeley’s Berkeley Wireless Research Center, where engineers demonstrated that commercially viable 60GHz semiconductor communications could become a reality. That innovation was commercialized through SiBeam, advanced by Silicon Image, expanded by Lattice Semiconductor, strengthened through Qualcomm’s broader millimeter-wave ecosystem and ultimately became part of Airbeam’s intellectual property portfolio.

According to Airbeam’s historical documentation, the technology portfolio acquired by Airbeam represents more than two decades of engineering, product development and commercialization efforts, supported by over $150 million of cumulative investment. Rather than starting from scratch, Eva Live is acquiring a mature technology platform with proven engineering heritage, extensive intellectual property and years of validation. The Company believes this dramatically accelerates its roadmap by providing a foundation that would otherwise require substantial capital, time and technical expertise to replicate.

From the Battlefield to Space

Eva believes the same communications technologies transforming autonomous defense systems today have the potential to become foundational infrastructure for tomorrow’s space economy.

As satellite constellations continue expanding into tens of thousands of spacecraft, highly directional millimeter-wave networking could enable neighboring satellites to exchange massive amounts of data while minimizing interference and maximizing bandwidth efficiency. Eva believes technologies of this nature could support future inter-satellite networking architectures for large commercial constellations, including systems similar to those deployed by SpaceX’s Starlink network.

Looking beyond Earth orbit, the Company also believes advanced beamforming and autonomous wireless mesh networking could become an important component of future lunar infrastructure. Permanent lunar habitats, autonomous mining systems, robotic exploration vehicles, scientific installations and manufacturing facilities will require resilient, high-speed communications networks capable of operating without extensive wired infrastructure. Eva believes Airbeam’s technology platform provides an opportunity to explore communications solutions for these future environments.

While these applications represent long-term opportunities, the Company believes the underlying engineering principles supporting next-generation autonomous defense systems may also play an important role in the future expansion of humanity’s communications infrastructure beyond Earth.

Accelerating Eva Defense

Following completion of the proposed acquisition, Eva Defense intends to accelerate development across several strategic initiatives, including:

AI-powered autonomous drone swarm communications
Advanced beamforming and adaptive wireless networking
Distributed autonomous mesh communications
Edge AI infrastructure for military and commercial autonomous systems
Smart city wireless infrastructure
Satellite networking technologies
Future lunar communications infrastructure

Eva believes the proposed acquisition represents another significant milestone in its strategy to become a global leader in artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, resilient communications and advanced defense technologies.

Faraday Future Founder and Global CEO YT Jia Shares Weekly Investor Update: Provides New Details on FF’s EAI Data Factory, Q3 “Four-Core Full-Stack AI” Robotics Practical Deployment Campaign and EAI Robotics Summer Camp

“Hello from issue 64 of our weekly report. Today, the FIFA World Cup Final has just concluded. Congratulations to Spain on lifting the World Cup, and congratulations to Lamine Yamal on reaching the biggest stage as one of the defining stars of a new generation.

Before the final, a photo of Messi and Yamal taken nearly 20 years ago went viral around the world. One is the undisputed GOAT who defined an era. The other is a rising star ready to define the next. There can only be one World Cup champion. But at FF, it’s never a choice between one or the other. Our Partner Culture is built to help GOATs continue to thrive while empowering the next generation to become legends in their own right. We welcome more dream partners to join us as we create even greater value together in the Physical AI era.

First, let me share some encouraging progress from our S4 “Data Core” of the “Four-Core Full-Stack AI” Ecosystem.

Following the high-quality delivery of the initial batch of data, the first customer of our EAI Data Factory has expanded its order to cover tens of thousands of data hours—more than ten times the volume of the original order. The order value could potentially exceed $400,000 in the near term. At the same time, FF EAI Robotics has received an indication of interest for a pilot order from a top-20 company in the data industry.

This marks the EAI Data Factory’s transition from initial order validation to scaled expansion across multiple use cases. It further strengthens the end-to-end commercialization model of FF’s Data Core and our real-world data advantage as the first U.S. company delivering both humanoid and bionic robots. The resulting data will, in turn, support EAI Brain training, continued robot device iteration, and the advancement of industry solutions, accelerating the evolutionary flywheel of our “Four-Core Full-Stack AI” ecosystem.

S2 User Ecosystem:

The first cohort of students has successfully completed the FF EAI robotics education demonstration summer camp. Through hands-on projects, including modular programming, Python-based robot control, robot racing, and NAVI exterior design, students from the Lynwood and El Segundo school districts progressed from early exposure to EAI to practical engineering experience and creative expression. Based on their feedback, we will continue to build out and optimize our educational Skills, Agents, and curriculum system.

The summer camp serves not only as a product validation platform, but also as a dual entry point for customer acquisition and sales conversion across both B2B and B2C markets. It will help drive scaled procurement and ongoing service delivery through an integrated offering of curriculum, robot devices, Skills and Agents, and productivity solutions—accelerating the development of our EAI robotics education system.

FF EAI Robotics also made a stunning appearance at three high-profile robotics and AGI summits in Silicon Valley. These events not only strengthened FF’s visibility and influence within the Silicon Valley robotics and AI community, but also connected our sales teams with potential customers, industry partners, and valuable use-case resources and opportunities. In addition, several developers with academic backgrounds from leading universities, including Stanford and UC Berkeley, have joined our developer platform. Next, they will work with us to co-develop Skills, Agents, and industry productivity solutions for our four major industry ecosystems.

On S5, Capital Markets and Finance:

As our robotics business continues to grow rapidly and gain recognition from the market and institutional investors, the Company will accelerate its efforts to secure independent financing for the business. We will actively bring in medium- to long-term financial and strategic investors, continue optimizing the financing structure, and support the next phase of R&D, product sales and deliveries, and scaled growth.

Next, let me share an update on the Robotics R&D and Product sub-campaign under our Q3 “Four-Core Full-Stack AI” Robotics Practical Deployment Campaign.

Core One: EAI Brain. We are advancing post-training and real-robot validation of our VLA and WAM world action models, and deploying our whole-body control model—strengthening task understanding, motion planning, and coordinated execution.

Core Two: EAI Devices. We will continue advancing our “One Brain, Multiple Forms” and “Multiple Forms, Multiple Capabilities” device strategy, while further improving the real-world utility and use-case adaptability of our six robot device series.

Core Three: Industry Productivity Solutions. Across our four major industry ecosystems, we will build a shared foundation while developing differentiated capabilities for each. In education, we will advance low-code programming, Skills and Agents, and coordinated instruction across multiple EAI devices. In industrial applications, we will strengthen precision manipulation, task orchestration, and human-robot collaboration. In security and inspection, we will improve autonomous navigation, multimodal perception, anomaly detection, and remote-control capabilities. Across our other existing market ecosystems, we will continue optimizing human-robot interaction and content orchestration. Meanwhile, our developer platform will continue improving its development tools and interfaces, along with the packaging, testing, and distribution of Skills and Agents.

Core Four: EAI Data Factory. In Q3, we plan to complete general-purpose beyond-line-of-sight teleoperation software, enabling a single operator interface to control multiple robot models across form factors. We will also improve end-to-end efficiency across the data pipeline, from collection and cleaning through final delivery.

The Q3 Robotics Practical Deployment Campaign is now fully underway. Our team will go all out to translate our “Four-Core Full-Stack AI” ecosystem advantages and first-mover advantage as the first U.S. company to achieve scaled robot deliveries into tangible user value and meaningful business growth. More to come next week. See you then.”
