Energy Focus, Inc. Announces Strategic Entry into Japan’s Energy Storage Market

Energy Focus, Inc. Announces Strategic Entry into Japan’s Energy Storage Market

SOLON, Ohio–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Energy Focus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EFOI), a leader in sustainable, energy-efficient light-emitting diode (“LED”) lighting and energy infrastructure solutions, today announced a joint investment with Japan’s Meihodo Co., Ltd. and Euka Power Japan Co., Ltd. in an energy storage power plant located in Asakura, Fukuoka, Japan. Holding a 35% stake, EFOI will play a lead role in battery procurement and related energy management functions, positioning the Company to participate in the power regulation market, one of the most valuable segments in the global energy industry. The project has already received a grid application response from Kyushu Electric Power and is expected to reach Commercial Operation Date (“COD”) in the second half of 2026. This milestone will translate into visible revenue and cash flow, serving as the launchpad for EFOI’s “energy platform” strategy.

Investment Highlights & Strategic Transformation

  • Financial Targets: With a total project investment of approximately 500 million JPY (approximately $3.13 million), of which the Company’s 35% share represents approximately 175 million JPY (approximately $1.10 million), the project aims for an Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) exceeding 35%.
  • Revenue Streams: By leveraging Japan’s balancing market, capacity market, and real-time arbitrage mechanisms, the project is designed to generate revenue from multiple power market participation opportunities.
  • Business Pivot: This highly replicable and scalable model facilitates EFOI’s transition from a traditional energy products company into an asset-and-data-driven “Energy-as-a-Service” (“EaaS”) platform.

Market Positioning in Japan

As one of the world’s most critical markets for energy transition, Japan offers high electricity prices, stable demand, and robust policy support. This move is more than a single project investment; it is the core node for EFOI to establish a regional energy network and Virtual Power Plant (“VPP”) capabilities. Utilizing its proprietary energy storage technology, Energy Management Systems (“EMS”), and power aggregation capabilities, the company is set to fully penetrate the power trading and energy services market, significantly raising its earnings ceiling.

Future Outlook and Valuation

EFOI intends to use this project as a springboard to accelerate expansion across Japan and the broader Asia-Pacific region. Over the next five years, the company is targeting over 1GW in energy storage and energy product sales opportunities, subject to market conditions and successful project execution, tapping into a potential multi-hundred-million-dollar market. As asset scale and profitability rise, EFOI is poised to reshape its valuation logic, emerging as a high-growth energy technology platform of significant interest to capital markets.

“This investment marks a meaningful milestone in Energy Focus’ evolution and reflects our confidence in the long-term opportunity within Japan’s energy storage and power regulation markets,” said Chiao-Chieh (Jay) Huang, Chief Executive Officer of Energy Focus. “We are particularly excited about the combination of attractive project-level returns and the strategic platform it creates for future expansion. This project not only demonstrates the strength of our technology and partners, but also establishes a scalable model that we believe can be replicated across Japan and the broader Asia-Pacific region. As we build out this energy platform, we see a clear path toward recurring revenue, stronger cash flow visibility, and significant long-term value creation for our shareholders.”

AlphaTON Capital Relaunches as Alpha Compute Corp. to Reflect Its Growing AI Compute Business

New Ticker NASDAQ: “ALP” for Alpha Represents The Company’s Strategic Focus on Scalable, AI Confidential Computing Infrastructure, leaning into its success with AI Confidential Computing for Telegram and other Clients

Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands, April 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alpha Compute Corp. (NASDAQ: ALP) (formerly AlphaTON Capital Corp., NASDAQ: ATON) (“Alpha Compute” or the “Company”), a technology leader in AI GPU-as-a-service (GPUaaS) and AI Confidential Compute, today announced that it has rebranded from AlphaTON Capital Corp. to Alpha Compute Corp., with its common shares trading under the new ticker symbol “ALP” on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The rebrand reflects the Company’s accelerating strategic growth and market demand for scalable AI compute infrastructure, with privacy-preserving confidential computing at its core.

Rebranding to Reflect the Company’s True Mission

The name Alpha Compute signals the Company’s intent to lead the global race to build the AI infrastructure of the future. As artificial intelligence reshapes how the world stores, processes, and monetizes data, the demand for sovereign, privacy-first compute has become structural. Alpha Compute is purpose-built for this moment.

“This rebrand is not cosmetic, it is structural,” said Brittany Kaiser, CEO of Alpha Compute Corp. “From the moment I wrote Targeted and first testified before Congress and Parliament about data rights, my mission has been to ensure that the future of technology is built on privacy by design, not just policy and promises. Alpha Compute is the culmination of that mission: a publicly traded infrastructure company providing the world’s most sensitive AI workloads with compute they can trust. We are entering the fastest-growing industry in history, and we intend to lead it.”

The Fastest-Growing Global Industry

The global AI market, valued at approximately $390 billion in 2025, is projected to reach $3.5 trillion by 2033 (Grandview Research, 2025), growing at a compound annual growth rate of more than 30%. Global AI spending is expected to surpass $2.52 trillion in 2026 alone, a 44% increase year over year (Gartner Group, 2025). The AI chip market sales were $200 billion in 2025, with the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, the same generation powering Alpha Compute’s infrastructure, driving the majority of that growth. NVIDIA’s own fiscal year 2026 revenues reached $215.9 billion, up 65% year over year (source: Nvidia press release), underscoring the relentless demand for advanced GPU compute.

Over 70% of Enterprise AI Workloads will Require AI Confidential Computing

Within this market, confidential computing represents one of the highest-growth and highest-value segments. Enterprises in healthcare, financial services, government, and defense represent over $2 trillion in combined annual IT spending (Gartner), and cannot rely on standard cloud infrastructure for their most sensitive AI workloads. Alpha Compute solves this problem with infrastructure that is private by encrypted architecture, not by promise. 

The convergence trend represents the significant market signal. Operationally, the key factor is that confidential computing is transitioning from a standalone market to the embedded security layer within the broader Secure AI Cloud stack. By 2026, over 70% of enterprise AI workloads will incorporate sensitive data, thereby accelerating the demand for secure AI infrastructure (Fortune Business Insights). Consequently, the addressable opportunity is more accurately defined as a segment of the cloud AI market, specifically where stringent security and data sovereignty mandates restrict workload migration.

Regulatory pressure has become a compelling catalyst. The escalating use of AI within enterprises is driving major concerns around data sovereignty, as current infrastructure designs struggle to provide the necessary guarantees for regulated or sensitive workloads. As reported by Computer Weekly, the confluence of the EU AI Act enforcement in 2026, the updated FedRAMP 20x requirements, and various national data residency laws is creating a mandatory, rather than merely opportunistic, procurement cycle.

What Alpha Compute Delivers

Under its new identity, Alpha Compute will operate as an integrated AI compute infrastructure company, providing:

  1. Confidential AI Compute via hardware-enforced trusted execution environments (TEEs) and NVIDIA Blackwell-generation GPU clusters (B200 and B300 architectures), ensuring data remains encrypted in use, in transit, and at rest.
  2. Sovereign AI Infrastructure enabling enterprise clients, government entities, and regulated industries to run AI workloads without surrendering data sovereignty to hyperscale cloud providers.
  3. Scalable GPU Deployment through Alpha Compute and its subsidiaries, with operational infrastructure backed by binding agreements for the deployment of over 1,000 Blackwell-generation GPUs.
  4. Privacy-Native AI Ecosystems supporting partners including Telegram, Midnight, Animoca Brands, and others building next-generation secure applications for the world’s most sensitive data and users.

“Our journey to this pivotal moment has been defined by the comprehensive infrastructure buildout over the last six months—specifically, the development of core firmware for Telegram’s Cocoon AI launch and securing hardware-level encryption on B300s. Our operations are expansive, covering GPU procurement, data center colocation, confidential computing architecture, and robust partner ecosystem development. Alpha Compute stands as a specialized, scalable AI compute company, poised to capitalize on a generational market shift by offering reliable independence and protecting your data from hyperscalers’ increasing encroachment.” – Enzo Villani, Executive Chairman and CIO, Alpha Compute Corp.

Strategic Continuity

The rebrand does not alter the Company’s corporate structure, legal domicile, or existing contractual obligations. All existing agreements, including the Company’s binding lease for NVIDIA B200s and the purchase of B300 GPU servers, the $43 million AI infrastructure and financing partnership with Vertical Data Inc., the GAMEE acquisition, infrastructure support for Telegram’s Cocoon AI, and the Company’s digital asset holdings, remain in full effect under the Alpha Compute Corp. entity. The Company’s existing shareholders are not required to take any action in connection with the ticker or name change.

Investors and analysts should update their records to reflect the new ticker symbol ALP effective today on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Intapp and DCM Insights expand Activator partnership, adding Intapp Celeste agents to accelerate business development in professional and financial services firms

Intapp and DCM Insights expand Activator partnership, adding Intapp Celeste agents to accelerate business development in professional and financial services firms

DCMi’s Activator research identifies what the best partners do differently; Intapp Celeste gives them the intelligence to act on it faster.

PALO ALTO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Intapp (NASDAQ: INTA), the leading governed AI platform for professional firms in highly regulated industries, and DCM Insights (DCMi) announced the next phase of their strategic partnership. Building on an earlier research sponsorship and the integration of DCMi’s Activator research into Intapp DealCloud, the two firms are deepening their collaboration to address one of the most persistent challenges facing professional services partners: turning new business development behaviors into durable habits—through Activator playbooks delivered by Intapp Celeste.

DCMi’s Activator programs are built on research published by Harvard Business Review into how the best partners develop business and what separates them from the rest. Across more than 100 of the world’s leading professional and financial services firms, those programs are driving structured, measurable behavior change. Intapp Celeste, Intapp’s agentic AI platform for professional firms, surfaces relationship signals, identifies client engagement opportunities, and delivers prioritized next-best actions directly to partners. Together, the two platforms go further: DCMi’s Activator research informs the behaviors that drive growth, and Intapp Celeste scales those behaviors through Activator playbooks built directly into the platform — purpose-built agentic workflows that put the right intelligence in front of partners at the right moment.

“Building a governed AI platform that meets the requirements of the world’s leading professional and financial services firms means partnering with the best in every category — companies like Microsoft, Anthropic, and Harvey,” said John Hall, Chairman and CEO of Intapp. “It also means being honest about where technology adoption actually fails. Partners don’t resist new tools because the technology isn’t good enough. They resist when the tools don’t account for how they actually work, how their clients’ buying behavior is changing, and what the most effective partners are doing differently. DCMi has spent years answering those questions through rigorous research. That’s why this partnership matters.”

“When it comes to making new business development behaviors stick, we find that the challenge isn’t a lack of partner willingness, it’s a lack of time. Only when new behaviors are practiced and honed will they become habits and routines. But this is hard given the many competing demands for a partner’s time. Partners are doer-sellers, not full-time sellers,” said Matt Dixon, Founding Partner of DCMi and co-author of The Activator Advantage: What Today’s Rainmakers Do Differently. “This is what’s so exciting about Intapp’s new Celeste AI platform. Having Celeste’s Activator agents working in the background for a partner is like having a ‘personal business development assistant’—spotting movement in their networks, identifying opportunities to engage new clients and surfacing next-best opportunities for cross-selling and collaboration—so that when they do find time for business development, they’re served up a highly actionable punch list of activities to pursue. We’re honored to be part of the team bringing this exciting new platform to the market.”

About DCM Insights

DCMi is a Washington, DC-based firm that provides business development behavior change programs for partners and associates in professional and financial services firms. The company’s programs are based on its proprietary Activator research which was featured in Harvard Business Review and in the book, The Activator Advantage: What Today’s Rainmakers Do Differently, published by Harvard Business Review Press in 2025. More than 100 of the world’s leading firms use DCMi’s Activator behavior change program, including nine of the AmLaw 15, four of the five Magic Circle law firms, all of the Big 4, and four of the top five executive search firms. The company was ranked #112 in the 2025 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies.

Akari Therapeutics Reports Positive Preclinical Data for AKTX-101 Demonstrating Differentiated Cytotoxicity for First-in-Class TROP2 ADC Payload Targeting RNA Splicing

Superior potency demonstrated versus leading TROP2 ADCs across bladder, lung and breast tumor models

Novel RNA spliceosome-targeting payload PH1 shows potential to overcome Topoisomerase I inhibitor resistance

Preclinical data support advancement of AKTX-101 into Phase 1 studies in a rapidly evolving TROP2 ADC class expected to reach ~$12B by 2033

1

TAMPA, Fla. and LONDON, April 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Akari Therapeutics, Plc (Nasdaq: AKTX), an oncology biotechnology company developing antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) with a novel RNA splicing modulator payload, today announced the presentation of positive preclinical data for its lead TROP2-targeting ADC, AKTX-101, at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2026. Access the poster here.

Unlike current TROP2-targeting ADCs that use Topoisomerase I Inhibitor (Inh.) payloads, AKTX-101 has the potential to address resistance to Topoisomerase I Inh. ADCs and contribute to durable anti-tumor efficacy due to the payload’s unique cytotoxic and immune-activating mechanisms of action.

The preclinical data compares the performance of AKTX-101 versus TROP2 ADCs with Topoisomerase I Inh. payloads in the killing of different cancer types driven by different cancer genes (oncogenes). AKTX-101’s ability to kill cancer cells at lower concentrations vs. TROP2 ADCs using Topoisomerase I Inh. payloads suggests that AKTX-101 is a more potent drug.

The preclinical data was published recently as an abstract in Cancer Research, an AACR journal.

Here, AKTX-101 demonstrated greater potency and/or greater maximum cancer cell killing relative to TROP2 ADC Topoisomerase I Inh. payloads in cancers of the bladder, lung and breast. AKTX-101 demonstrated sub-nanomolar potency in all bladder cancer lines tested, a key tumor in which first-in-human clinical trials for AKTX-101 are planned.

AKTX-101 also demonstrated sub-nanomolar potency in several non-small cell lung cancer cell lines driven by EGFR, BRAF, and SMARCA4, as well as potent cell killing in HER2 breast cancer cell lines with inherent resistance to Topoisomerase I Inh. ADCs such as trastuzumab deruxtecan (ENHERTU™).

“These data represent a significant step forward for our lead program, AKTX-101, and reinforce our belief that a differentiated ADC payload with multiple mechanisms of action has the potential to meaningfully improve outcomes for patients with TROP2-expressing cancers,” commented Satyajit K. Mitra, Ph.D., Head of Oncology Research and Development at Akari Therapeutics. “We are seeing preclinical superior AKTX-101 potency and activity as compared to TROP2 ADCs using Topoisomerase I inhibitor payloads in bladder, lung, and breast cancer models. Together, these findings show that AKTX-101 has strong potential for targeting a broad range of cancer tumors and sub-types with superior cytotoxicity than current TROP2 ADCs that use Topoisomerase I Inhibitor payloads.”

The TROP2 ADC class continues to emerge in terms of its potential, with revenue projections expected to reach ~$12B or greater by 2033 based on current and future entrants. Akari believes that AKTX-101, with its novel RNA splicing modulator payload, can grow this class further by addressing multiple solid tumors where TROP2 is overexpressed including bladder, lung, breast, pancreatic, head and neck, and others.

Key AKTX-101 Data Presented at AACR Highlights:

  • AKTX-101 demonstrated strong, single-agent anti-tumor activity across multiple models across bladder, lung, and breast cancers.
  • AKTX-101 demonstrated greater potency and cell killing compared to current TROP2 ADCs, including Topoisomerase I inhibitor-resistant tumor models, as well as standard-of-care chemotherapies and targeted therapies. Combination of AKTX-101 with anti-PD-1 therapy resulted in synergistic anti-tumor efficacy and tumor regressions within in vivo models, supporting future combinations with checkpoint inhibition to maximize tumor remissions rates.
  • Broad in vitro cytotoxicity was observed across a diverse panel of tumor models, including those with clinically oncogenic driver mutations including FGFR3, BRAF, EGFR, and SMARCA4.

Abizer Gaslightwala, CEO of Akari Therapeutics, added, “This data continues to add to the conviction and differentiation we have in our novel ADC payload PH1 targeting RNA splicing. We are focused on rapidly advancing AKTX-101 into the clinic, with IND-enabling studies underway and plans to submit an IND in the fourth quarter of 2026, followed by initiation of a Phase 1 study in the first quarter of 2027. Our team is executing against a clear development plan designed to efficiently translate these encouraging preclinical findings into clinical proof of concept.”

These data were presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2026. Access the poster here.

About Akari Therapeutics

Akari Therapeutics is an oncology biotechnology company developing next-generation antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) with a unique payload, PH1, which targets RNA splicing. Utilizing its innovative ADC discovery platform, the Company has the ability to generate ADC candidates and optimize them based on the desired application to any antigen target of interest. Akari’s lead candidate, AKTX-101, targets the TROP2 receptor on cancer cells with a proprietary linker, enabling it to deliver its novel PH1 payload directly into the tumor with minimal off-target effects. Unlike current ADCs that use microtubule inhibitors and DNA damaging agents as their payloads, PH1 is a novel payload that is a spliceosome modulator designed to disrupt RNA splicing within cancer cells. This splicing modulation has been shown in preclinical animal models to induce cancer cell death while activating both the innate and adaptive immune systems to drive robust and durable activity. In preclinical studies, AKTX-101 has shown to have significant activity and prolonged survival relative to ADCs with traditional payloads. Additionally, AKTX-101 has the potential to be synergistic with checkpoint inhibitors and has demonstrated prolonged survival as both a single agent and in combination with checkpoint inhibitors. The PH1 payload has also been demonstrated to be very active against cancer cells with key oncogenic drivers such as KRAS, BRAF, ARV7, FGFR3 fusions, and others. The Company has initiated IND enabling studies for AKTX-101 with a goal of starting its First-In-Human trial by late 2026/early 2027. Akari is also developing AKTX-102, an ADC candidate targeting CEACAM5 (Carcinoembryonic Antigen-related Cell Adhesion Molecule-5), a well-validated tumor antigen broadly expressed across multiple solid tumors. AKTX-102 is designed to leverage Akari’s proprietary PH1 spliceosome-modulating payload and a novel antibody construct to enable differentiated tumor cell killing and immune activation.
