In a move that underscores the accelerating evolution of enterprise finance, Mistras Group, a global leader in technology-enabled industrial asset integrity and laboratory testing solutions, has introduced a modern addition to its finance team: Aimie, an autonomous AI Cash Collection Agent. Developed by Sidetrade, an AI-native company dedicated to Order-to-Cash. Aimie engages customers, qualifies invoices, and optimizes Order-to-cash strategies autonomously.

The decision reflects a growing trend among forward-looking finance organizations. In an environment marked by global volatility and operational complexity, legacy systems that are dominated by rigid ERP structures and static workflows have become increasingly inadequate. Rules-based automation and digital assistants, while useful, have reached their ceiling. Agentic AI is the new operating standard for competitive finance.

To stay ahead, CFOs are turning to Aimie to operationalize a new system of work: intelligent, autonomous, always on. This shift positions Mistras Group among the first companies in the US to integrate agentic AI as an operational coworker. Aimie redefines what AI can do by transforming Order-to-Cash from a scripted back-office function into a self-optimizing system of intelligence. She is a teammate who manages cash collection.

Purpose-built for corporate finance and backed by nearly $10 trillion transactions in Sidetrade’s Data Lake, Aimie brings contextual intelligence to every interaction. Her capabilities include:

• Autonomous, context-driven calls intelligently orchestrated across thousands of customer accounts;
• Continuous learning from customer payment behaviors and live interactions to deliver tailored dialogue, in real-time;
• Integrating natively with the Sidetrade platform to drive dynamic Order-to-Cash adjustments and real-time case management, without human intervention.

Aimie delivers consistent, policy-aligned execution at scale, driving measurable gains in cash flow, reducing manual workload, and enabling finance teams to refocus on higher-value priorities.

By embracing agentic AI, Mistras Group joins a growing group of enterprises that gain a structural advantage in financial execution. Those who hesitate risk being overtaken by faster, leaner, more adaptive competitors.

State and local proclamations and a celebration at Blue Ops’ Valdosta facility mark a year of investment, manufacturing expansion and production milestones

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: RCAT) (“Red Cat” or the “Company”), a U.S. based provider of advanced all domain drone and robotic solutions for defense and national security, announced that its Blue Ops maritime division marked the inaugural Blue Ops Day on September 21 with a celebration at the company’s manufacturing facility in Valdosta, Georgia.

Recognized through proclamations from the State of Georgia and Valdosta-Lowndes County, Blue Ops Day marked the culmination of a year of significant growth for Blue Ops in Georgia. Since leasing its 155,000-square-foot Valdosta facility in September 2025, Blue Ops has expanded its domestic manufacturing capabilities, announced plans to invest $30 million and create more than 200 local jobs, added advanced manufacturing technologies, and begun ramping its Variant 7 Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV) into full-rate production.

The event recognized that progress with a celebration at the Valdosta facility, where Blue Ops has spent the past year building out the team, technology and infrastructure needed to support U.S. production of its growing family of USVs. Red Cat and Blue Ops leadership were joined by elected officials, employees and community leaders to recognize the milestone and Blue Ops’ growing role in Georgia and the U.S. maritime industrial base.

“America has a long history of leading the world in shipbuilding and innovation, and we have an opportunity to lead again,” said Barry Hinckley, President of Blue Ops. “The next generation of naval power will look different. Smaller, smarter, autonomous systems produced rapidly and at scale will operate alongside our traditional fleet. In Valdosta, we’re bringing American boatbuilding, advanced manufacturing and modern technology together to help revitalize our maritime industrial base and strengthen our nation’s capabilities at sea.”

The celebration brought together Red Cat and Blue Ops leadership, state and local government officials, and members of the Valdosta-Lowndes County community. Government attendees and speakers included Representative Austin Scott, Representative Rich McCormick, Georgia State Senator Russ Goodman, Valdosta Mayor Scott James Matheson, and Chairman of the Lowndes County Board of Commissioners Bill Slaughter.

During the event, Blue Ops showcased its Variant 5 and Variant 7 USVs. Guests toured the manufacturing floor to see where the company’s vessels are built and integrated, and the celebration included the christening of a Variant 7 before it was lowered into the facility’s test pool.

September 21 was formally recognized as Blue Ops Day through a statewide proclamation from the Governor’s Office and a joint proclamation from the City of Valdosta and Lowndes County, recognizing Blue Ops’ investment in the region and contribution to expanding U.S. maritime manufacturing capabilities.

Blue Ops, Red Cat’s maritime division, develops and manufactures a growing family of mission-adaptable USVs for U.S. and allied defense missions. The Valdosta manufacturing operation is part of Blue Ops’ growing U.S. footprint, alongside its headquarters and showroom in West Palm Beach, Florida. The Valdosta facility brings manufacturing, systems integration and testing capabilities together in one location, helping move maritime systems from design and engineering improvements to production.

Blue Ops’ continued growth in Valdosta expands Red Cat’s U.S. manufacturing footprint into the maritime domain while supporting the U.S. maritime industrial base through skilled manufacturing jobs and increased domestic capacity to build and deliver uncrewed systems for U.S. and allied forces.

Company advances international relationships around localized fertilizer production, agricultural resilience, and commercial infrastructure development

MANKATO, Minn. and NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Easy Environmental Solutions, Inc. (OTC: EZES) (“EZES” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based environmental technology company focused on agriculture, soil restoration, and circular resource recovery, today announced its participation this week in an invitation-only international roundtable meeting held at United Nations Headquarters in New York City during Climate Week NYC.

Mark Gaalswyk, CEO of Easy Environmental Solutions, at United Nations Roundtable

EZES develops Terreplenish^®, an organic microbial fertilizer designed to support nutrient availability, soil health, water efficiency, and crop resilience, along with EasyFEN™ (patents pending), the Company’s automated platform for commercial-scale localized fertilizer production using juice derived from suitable, readily available green leafy materials.

More than 10 years of Company testing and field experience with Terreplenish^® have demonstrated a nitrogen credit of approximately 45 to 60 pounds per acre, while Terreplenish^® also helps mobilize approximately 15 to 20 pounds per acre of legacy phosphorus already present in the soil.

The roundtable brought together government representatives from multiple countries across the Middle East, Europe and Africa, along with representatives from major international institutions including the World Food Programme and the World Bank. Discussions focused on economic development finance, reconstruction, achieving food security, resilience and the infrastructure required to support future growth.

EZES used the gathering and surrounding meetings to build on existing international relationships and continue developing potential partnerships centered on localized fertilizer production using the EasyFEN™ “Fertilizer Plant in a Box” technology.

EasyFEN™ Organic Liquid Microbial “Fertilizer Plant in Box Technology” (patents pending)

Senior international development officials also expressed strong interest in continued engagement with EZES regarding potential applications of the Company’s technology in future agricultural reconstruction and localized-production initiatives across Africa and the Middle East. The Company expects those discussions to continue as potential implementation opportunities advance.

Turning Local Resources Into Agricultural Infrastructure

The EasyFEN™ fully automated system is designed to establish localized Terreplenish^® Organic Liquid Microbial Fertilizer production at commercial scale using suitable green biomass or waste food materials that can be sourced locally, allowing agricultural inputs to be produced closer to where they are ultimately used while reducing harmful CO2 emissions.

At full utilization, based on the Company’s current application model, a single EasyFEN™ has the potential to produce enough fertilizer to support more than one million acres annually.

The EasyFEN™ is modular, fully automated, AI Machine Language optimized, and remotely monitored to allow data collection from anticipated deployed plants all over the world. The model is designed to support cost-effective domestic fertilizer production, productive reuse of readily available green leafy materials, and reduced reliance on imported agricultural inputs and vulnerable international supply chains.

Previous Terreplenish testing has demonstrated reductions in irrigation requirements of up to 20%, creating additional potential value in agricultural regions facing drought and pressure on water resources.

“Agricultural development changes when a country can begin producing more of what it needs locally inside its own borders,” said Nate Carpenter, Vice President of Sales – Europe, the Middle East and Africa for Easy Environmental Solutions. “Food waste and crop residues become a resource. Local resources become locally produced fertilizer. Over time, dependence on imported inputs can be reduced as productive, self-sustaining capacity is built locally. That is the transition we are working to build.”

International Expansion and Commercial Opportunity

Terreplenish has been evaluated across a range of crops and growing environments in the United States and internationally, including fieldwork in Kenya, Ghana, Somalia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

EZES’s international strategy is structured around phased market development — establishing regulatory pathways, agricultural adoption and local partnerships before progressing toward commercial EasyFEN™ deployment.

The Company believes this model provides countries with a pathway toward greater agricultural self-reliance by combining local resources, domestic productive capacity and commercial-scale fertilizer manufacturing.

The strategy is also intended to generate meaningful economic returns for participating agricultural cooperatives and local partners.

Under EZES’s current financial model, increasing EasyFEN™ utilization is expected to generate positive operating cash flow and create the potential for self-sustaining operations as production scales. The Company expects to provide additional information regarding EasyFEN™ commercial economics as its first commercial deployments advance in Africa.

“Addressing food security and building a profitable business do not have to be competing ideas,” said Mark Gaalswyk, CEO of Easy Environmental Solutions. “If you solve a real global problem, create something people need and build an economic model that sustains itself, impact and profitability begin working together. This combination of priorities is the heart and soul of Easy Environmental Solutions, Inc.™

EZES expects to continue developing relationships strengthened during the New York meetings and to pursue follow-up discussions involving agricultural infrastructure, reconstruction, financing, localized production and potential EasyFEN™ deployment.

Those discussions come as the Company moves further into commercial implementation and expands its international footprint.

“There is a difference between asking the world to notice your technology and being invited into the room because people already understand what it can do,” Gaalswyk said. “We have spent years building toward that moment. Now the conversation is about where it can be deployed.”

EZES’s first commercial EasyFEN™ is currently in Minnesota being demonstrated to dignitaries and numerous large Agricultural Farm Coops. It is being prepared for shipment in the coming week, marking an important transition toward establishing the Company’s localized fertilizer-production model on a commercial scale.

The Company expects to provide additional updates as international initiatives and commercial deployments progress to stages appropriate for public disclosure.

About Easy Environmental Solutions, Inc.

Easy Environmental Solutions, Inc.™ (OTC: EZES) develops environmental and agricultural technologies designed to transform locally available resources into products of economic and environmental value.

The Company’s Terreplenish^® fertilizer is designed to support nutrient efficiency, soil health, water efficiency, and agricultural resilience, while its EasyFEN™ platform is designed to enable commercial-scale localized fertilizer production using suitable food, green, bio, and organic materials.

EZES combines biological agriculture with decades of automation and process-control experience to develop scalable solutions for agriculture, soil restoration, circular resource utilization and localized production.

DENVER, Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — (247marketnews.com) — NeOnc Technologies Holdings (NASDAQ: NTHI) has picked up fresh Wall Street coverage at a pivotal moment for its experimental brain-cancer pipeline. Roth Capital analyst Jonathan Aschoff initiated coverage, according to a report published September 24.

The timing is notable. NeOnc is no longer simply pitching an early-stage concept: the company has recently reported clinical data, raised fresh capital and is positioning its lead programs for potentially pivotal development.

The most immediate story is NEO100. In August, NeOnc reported topline Phase 2a results in recurrent IDH1-mutant high-grade glioma, saying the study produced six-month progression-free survival of 48.9% versus a prespecified 20% benchmark, with a reported median overall survival of 26.09 months. The company said it planned to request a Type B meeting with the FDA to discuss a registrational path.

That puts regulatory interaction squarely in the spotlight. A September report summarizing Roth’s research says Aschoff expects an FDA Type B End-of-Phase 2 meeting in October and sees potential pivotal-trial starts before the end of 2026. Those are analyst expectations, not FDA commitments or guaranteed timelines.

Roth’s longer-range model reportedly envisions NEO100 launching in 2029 and NEO212 in 2030, assuming successful clinical development, regulatory approval, financing and commercialization. The two programs target difficult-to-treat central nervous system cancers, including recurrent high-grade astrocytoma, glioblastoma and brain metastases.

NEO212 is also moving forward. The company reported FDA feedback on chemistry, manufacturing and controls in July, while Phase 1 work established a recommended Phase 2 dose of 610 mg after dose escalation reached its protocol-defined maximum tolerated dose.

Meanwhile, NeOnc has strengthened its balance sheet for the next leg of development with a $15 million registered direct offering in September. The financing was priced at $4.20 per share, with accompanying warrants carrying a $4.20 exercise price. Roth Capital and A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners acted as placement agents.

The company also recently announced that executives purchased NeOnc shares in the open market following the NEO100 data, while separately redeeming its outstanding Series A convertible preferred stock.
