Advent opens office in Abu Dhabi, further extending its international reach

ABU DHABI, UAE, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Advent, a leading global private equity investor, today announced it has opened a new office in ADGM, the international financial centre of Abu Dhabi, the Capital of the United Arab Emirates, extending the reach of the firm’s international platform into the Middle East.

The new presence builds on Advent’s long-standing relationships across the Middle East, giving Advent a local base from which to deepen its engagement with investors and support the firm’s existing portfolio companies and explore potential investment opportunities.

James Brocklebank, Managing Partner and Co-Chair of Advent’s Global Executive Committee, said, “Abu Dhabi is a natural addition to Advent’s global network, alongside our recent openings in Sydney and Tokyo. As a global business, having colleagues based locally enables us to be closer to the institutions and long-term partners that support our work. It also gives us a strong base from which to deepen our engagement over time.”

The office will be headed by Mehdi Iraqi, Managing Director, Limited Partner Services. Mehdi joined Advent in January 2026 and brings almost two decades of experience covering institutional investors across the region, including prior roles at AMG and Carlyle. Commenting on the office opening, he remarked, “The Middle East is home to some of Advent’s most valued long-term partners, and this office reflects our commitment to being close to them. Having spent much of my career working with institutional investors across the region, I’m looking forward to building on those relationships from Abu Dhabi.”

Arvind Ramamurthy, Chief Market Development Officer at ADGM, said, “Advent’s decision to establish an office in ADGM reflects the strength of Abu Dhabi’s proposition as a leading destination for global investment firms. ADGM’s dynamic ecosystem brings together international investors, financial institutions, professional services firms and a deep pool of talent within a robust, internationally recognised regulatory and legal framework. We welcome Advent to our community and look forward to supporting its growth and deeper engagement with partners and opportunities across the region.”

The Abu Dhabi office follows a series of recent openings: Advent launched its Sydney office in July 2024, extending the firm’s footprint into Australia and New Zealand, and its new Tokyo office in January 2026, growing its presence in Japan. Earlier this year, Advent also strengthened its long-standing presence in Hong Kong as the firm’s regional base for Asia Pacific investor engagement, building on more than three decades of investing in the region. Together, these moves underscore Advent’s commitment to operating in the world’s most dynamic markets. Advent now has 18 offices across 15 countries.

The activities facilitated exchange and cooperation among industry delegates from around the world, promoted industry connections and expanded the breadth of opportunities for cooperation. Special interviews, project presentations and other activities were conducted as well to foster international exchange and broaden the scope of cooperation across sectors.

The Forum announced that Hainan Province will become the host province for the 13^th Global Tourism Economy Forum in 2027, with the Macao Government Tourism Office and the Department of Tourism, Culture, Radio, Television and Sports of Hainan Province signing a memorandum of understanding to further deepen Hainan-Macao cooperation in tourism and related fields. Aligning with the development strategies of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Hainan Free Trade Port, both sides will strengthen resource sharing and industry matching to promote the high-quality, synergistic development of their tourism sectors.

The Forum program also featured curated cultural and inspection tours, allowing guests to gain immersive insights into Macao’s diversified “Tourism+” offerings. The itinerary included visiting the World Heritage site – “The Historic Centre of Macao” and attending the themed exhibition “Encounter Ancient China through Museum Cultural Creative Products” jointly presented by 22 cultural institutions nationwide; or touring the Islands Healthcare Complex – Macao Medical Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital (“Macao Union Medical Center”), the “Hengqin Traditional Chinese Medicine Culture Experience Hall” at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Science and Technology Industrial Park of Co-operation between Guangdong and Macao, and the Zhuhai Chimelong International Ocean Resort, among others. These visits allowed participants to gain a deeper understanding of Macao and Hengqin’s ongoing efforts to advance industry collaboration and regional synergy across domains such as “Tourism + Culture” and “Tourism + Big Health”.

Building consensus in crisis and achieving breakthroughs through resilience, the 12th Global Tourism Economy Forum not only provided a clear roadmap for the global cultural and tourism industry to navigate change and transformation, but also embarked on a new journey of deepening cooperation, stretching from a “Macao platform” to Hainan-Macao synergy and on to global outreach. The Forum will continue to serve as a bridge connecting China and the world, and advance the steady progress of the global tourism economy along a path of openness, innovation, and inclusiveness.

Genesis Momentum Powers Cellebrite’s Autumn Release: More Evidence, Deeper Insight, Broader Access for Investigations

Investigators report dramatic gains in what they uncover using Agentic AI vs. manual review; the Autumn 2026 Release brings expanded device and operating system access

TYSONS CORNER, Va. and PETAH TIKVA, Israel, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cellebrite (Nasdaq: CLBT), a global leader in AI-powered Digital Investigative and Intelligence solutions for the public and private sectors, today announced its Autumn 2026 Release, highlighting the Company’s latest product innovations. The release expands what teams can analyze and verify across an investigation and is led by Genesis, which investigators worldwide are describing as a “game changer.” The agentic AI-powered solution uncovers what manual review can miss and helps transform digital data across devices, sources and environments into defensible evidence, mission-ready intelligence and informed action. Cellebrite customers, across a range of investigations, shared the following about using Genesis:

• In a homicide case, Genesis surfaced a suspect’s confession after reviewing two years’ worth of recorded jail calls – something manual review had missed up until that point. Investigators at this Southeastern United States sheriff’s office say it allows them to find nearly 8X more relevant evidence artifacts.
• At a large western U.S. Sheriff’s agency, investigators found the incriminating evidence they needed buried within 400 hours of doorbell video footage – surfaced with just a single prompt – saving hours of investigative time.
• At a local police department in Europe, Genesis matched an ID card image to a selfie taken in a bedroom, giving inspectors new leads to accelerate the investigation.
• Genesis linked chats, social accounts, financial transactions and metadata that normally sit in separate apps and surfaced new leads the investigator didn’t know existed.
• In one of the largest district attorney’s offices in the United States, Genesis sifted through more than 6,000 recorded jail calls, finding the relevant artifact related to human trafficking. Investigators say Genesis ‘drowns out the noise,’ allowing them to filter and organize all the data.

Digital evidence is growing faster than the teams who review it, and manual review can inadvertently leave critical connections, relevant artifacts and victims undiscovered. Evidence sits across devices, files and systems, and every new device, operating system and evidence type changes the work. Nearly 60% of the time spent on a case goes to review and analysis, and more than 70% of respondents still review evidence manually, according to Cellebrite’s 2026 Industry Trends Survey. 

“Every hour spent searching for something is an hour not spent on acting,” said Cellebrite Chief Executive Officer Shiv Ramji. “Teams need a faster, more consistent path from input to a verified finding. Whether advancing an investigation, supporting a national security mission or identifying security risk, Genesis helps teams quickly turn digital information into understanding and action.”

The Autumn 2026 Release highlights include:

• Accelerating Understanding with AI
  • Enhancing Genesis’ Deep Investigator to find what manual review can miss; agentic skills build a team’s standard operating procedures and expertise into agents that work around the clock
  • Adding an on-premises Genesis version, expected in early 2027, allowing agencies to run it in their own environment
  • Turning Call Detail Records (CDR) data into investigative context faster with AI-based normalization and analysis in Pathfinder
  • Accelerating advanced mobile research and modeling with AI-assisted workflows and customer-selected LLMs in Corellium
• Expanding Access to the Information that Matters
  • Bringing next generation access to more devices and emerging evidence sources, with expanded Inseyets iOS and Android support
  • Enhancing field collection with DJI drone capabilities, with next-generation drone forensics support through CFID v4, planned for early 2027
  • Advancing research into mobile platform behavior across the latest iOS and Android environments with new Corellium Falcon Mirror Add-on – allowing researchers to import supported Inseyets extractions into Falcon, giving them a faster starting point
• Advancing Mission Outcomes
  • Moving evidence securely into operational workflows with Guardian third-party storage, enhanced security controls and enterprise governance
  • Turning analysis into clearer investigative context via enhanced Pathfinder media analysis, integrated knowledge management and reporting capabilities
  • Enabling faster insight for military teams through the new Cellebrite Tactical Extraction Kit (C-Tek) — a ruggedized, all-in-one mobile forensics field kit launched earlier this quarter for military teams to access and analyze devices at the point of capture

Visit the Autumn 2026 Release page here to learn more about each enhancement or join the virtual event, “Inside the Autumn Release,” on November 4, 2026. Cellebrite will have a team of experts at the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Conference, Oct. 24–27: Booth #1511.

DE BEERS RETURNS TO FRIEZE MASTERS WITH VOYAGE THROUGH THE DIAMOND REALM, CHAPTER II: ON THE BIRTH OF A DIAMOND

An immersive experience exploring the origin of nature’s greatest works of art

MUMBAI, India and LONDON, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ —

ON THE BIRTH OF A DIAMOND

An immersive experience exploring the origin of nature’s greatest works of art

Formed billions of years ago deep within the Earth’s mantle, natural diamonds are among nature’s most extraordinary creations. For thousands of years, they have fascinated people not only for their rarity, exceptional physical properties and beauty, but for the symbolism and meaning they have carried across cultures and generations.

Returning to Frieze Masters for a second year, De Beers will present the second chapter of Voyage Through the Diamond Realm, Chapter II: On The Birth of a Diamond new immersive installation that reconnects audiences with the -metaphysical- origins of natural diamonds.

Across three rooms, the installation explores different elements of natural diamond’s origin story: from the earliest formation of carbon in the stars, and the birth of diamonds deep within the earth, to the transformation of rough diamonds into treasured objects through creativity and craftsmanship. The story of their birth connects us to the origins of the cosmos, our planet and life itself, inviting audiences to see something of our own remarkable story of origin reflected in the journey of a natural diamond.

Visitors will encounter a monumental five-metre handcrafted tapestry created by Shifron Mercury Studio, woven from natural fibres from Botswana’s Okavango Delta to evoke the geological layers of the Earth. The tapestry incorporates ceramic ‘stellar fragments’ inspired by the forms of rough natural diamonds, and ostrich eggshell beads to connect the earthly formation of natural diamonds with their cosmic origins.

Within the space is a new commission of hand-crafted amulets by Botswana-based design collective Peter Mabeo Studio, created in collaboration with basket weavers, potters and wood carvers from across Botswana. Drawing on generations of craft traditions, the works celebrate the enduring relationship between people, place and natural materials. De Beers’ natural diamonds are set within these handcrafted amulets.

While developed through distinct practices, Shifron Mercury Studio and Peter Mabeo share a philosophy rooted in respect for natural materials, simplicity and the role of human hands. Across their work, materials retain their inherent character, with craftsmanship used to reveal their potential.

The experience then moves into an immersive cinematic space, where visitors watch how carbon formed within the earliest stars became diamonds deep beneath the Earth. Science and wonder come together to reveal one of nature’s greatest creative acts; the birth of a natural diamond, with soundscape narrated by Lucian Msamati and Kristin Winters, bringing together voices and original wark from artists including Mumsy Themba and Ecka Mordecai.

The journey concludes in a space designed for reflection. De Beers’ rough natural diamonds are illuminated by ultraviolet light, inviting visitors to encounter these creations before they are cut or polished. Some reveal a hidden blue fluorescence, a fascinating natural phenomenon often described as ‘the secret within the stone,’ which offers a rare glimpse into the remarkable geological journey held within each diamond.

In their earliest form, each natural diamond reveals its unique character before beginning another chapter in their journey passing into the hands of skilled craftspeople who will reveal their potential.

Voyage Through the Diamond Realm, Chapter II builds on the global success of Voyage Through the Diamond Realm’s first edition, which toured from London to Mumbai to New York exploring the myths, legends and stories inspired by natural diamonds. Following Frieze Masters, this next chapter will also tour internationally.

Lynn Serfaty, General Manager – Natural Diamonds, De Beers, says, “Voyage Through the Diamond Realm, Chapter Two explores the extraordinary origin story of natural diamonds through the twin concepts of creation and creativity. Working with talented artists, craftspeople, actors, musicians from Botswana, United Kingdom and France, we are delighted to return to Frieze Masters to bring the story of these natural works of art to life.”

Shifron Mercury Studio says, ‘For Voyage Through the Diamond Realm – Chapter Two, we wanted to create a scene that tells the story of origin. The tapestry brings together natural fibres from Botswana and ceramic fragments to connect the Earth’s interior with the cosmos, reflecting the colours of the Earth and pieces of the stars. It was important to us that we keep the materials in their simplest state, trying not to transform them too much, but to let them express their own character.’

Peter Mabeo and Beullah Serema, Mabeo Studio, say, “For this work, basket weavers, potters and wood carvers from across Botswana bring different crafts and materials together. Each amulet carries the particular skill of the person who made it, and each skilled person carries within them the capacity to relate with the natural world, simply, through the senses. The making remains visible – the hand, the technique and the relationship each maker has with the material. The amulets are an expression of convergence – different materials, skills and people coming together.”

The relationship goes further. Across cultures and geographical distances, craftspeople can arrive at similar ways of working with materials, even without contact with one another. The potter, the basket weaver, the tapestry weaver and the wood carver all work through an innate, sensory understanding of materials.”

About Mabeo Studio

Mabeo Studio is a collective instigated in Botswana. Mentally, it is not geo politically constrained. Operating between the various fields of art, design, architecture, and associated means of communication; each field is applied in its own right yet, with a sense of nonspecific, broad curiosity, consideration and observation. Disciplines and classification are only used as a particular mode of implementation in and through time as actual life continues.

With art and design at times being viewed through topical issues and thought patterns of the day, ideas around aestheticism and fresh directions are all either as significant or as insignificant as the physical materials being manipulated and, as significant or insignificant as the psychology of all involved.

The studio interest is to engage in ways that subtly go beyond structured norms and to question the widespread preoccupation with visual sensuality and the unfounded appearance of originality and responsibility. Ongoing initiatives to attract attention are not a priority, other than to increase the probability of meeting collaborators who are conscientious and curious about simpler and more natural approaches.

Perceiving resonance and discord between international art or design influences from the past and present, within the valued natural environment, old cultures and clear attitudes surrounding the studio locale; a craft rooted approach, combined with basic industrial methods that can be contaminated with technology on the rare occasion is adopted.

A universal, free and accommodating approach that is premised on the ability to observe and to relate humanely is practiced. Looking beyond and through industry experience into a non-constrained sense, all materials, including the sustainable use of thought as actual material, are engaged with.

Often looking beyond design briefs, the studio looks for opportunities to express any project within broader and more accommodating contexts. Finding points of entry for essential elements that are typically overlooked, a craft application or the application of a craft-based attitude, informs an inclusive approach which creates the possibility of activity from which beauty can result.

About Shifron Mercury Studio

Shifron Mercury Studio is founded by artist-designers Goni Shifron and Gabrielle Laurin Mercury both graduates of ENSAD (École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, Paris). Together, they create tailored environments at the crossroads of sculpture, installation, scenography, and design. They explore craftsmanship across multiple scales, from intimate objects to immersive spatial experiences. Their collaboration was born from a shared passion for raw materials, artisanal techniques, and sustainable values. Hands-on work is at the heart of their practice – whether sculpting themselves or integrating the expertise of skilled artisans into the process. Goni draws inspiration from the purity and stillness of the desert, while Gabrielle is influenced by the richness and complexity of the forest.

Manulife and UpLink announce winners of the ‘Shaping Canada’s Longevity Advantage’ Challenge

Ten innovators selected for solutions that help Canadians live longer, healthier, more financially secure lives

The challenge is an initiative of Manulife’s Longevity Institute, driving solutions for a longer‑living Canadian society

TORONTO, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Manulife, in collaboration with UpLink, the World Economic Forum’s early-stage innovation initiative, today announced the winners of the ‘Shaping Canada’s Longevity Advantage Challenge,’ the third and final challenge in a multi-year partnership focused on advancing longevity innovation. Open to innovators from Canada and around the world, the challenge sought practical, near-term solutions that can improve health, financial resilience and social connectedness for Canadians while fostering purpose and opportunity across generations.

As Canadians live longerⁱ and more multi-stage lives, new solutions are needed to help people thrive across those additional years through better health, stronger financial resilience, meaningful social connection and a greater sense of purpose. The winning cohort showcases innovative approaches to helping Canadians navigate longer lives while supporting caregivers, families and communities.

The 10 winners of the ‘Shaping Canada’s Longevity Advantage Challenge’ are:

• Amical (Quebec City, Canada), which delivers an AI-powered companion through a familiar telephone interface to support older adults and people living with cognitive disorders.
• Childfree Trust (Mount Juliet, United States), which provides estate planning, fiduciary and emergency response services designed for childfree individuals and solo agers.
• Clay Financial (Toronto, Canada), which enables older Canadians to unlock home equity through Home Equity Sharing Agreements without taking on debt or monthly payments.
• Cosm Medical (Toronto, Canada), which uses AI, software and 3D printing to create personalized pelvic health devices that help people maintain active and independent lives.
• Idem (Montreal, Canada), which develops connected cognitive aids that support independence and care coordination for people living with dementia.
• LINK Plans (Calgary, Canada), which helps expand access to workplace retirement savings plans through financial institutions and payroll providers.
• MIMOSA Diagnostics (Toronto, Canada), which uses portable imaging technology to detect pressure injuries before visible skin breakdown occurs.
• Myant Health (Mississauga, Canada), which transforms everyday clothing into continuous health monitoring tools through smart textile technology.
• Pontosense (Toronto, Canada), which uses AI-powered wireless sensing technology to detect falls, monitor vital signs and support independent living without cameras or wearables.
• PragmaClin (St. John’s, Canada), which has developed an AI-powered neurological assessment platform for people living with Parkinson’s disease.

“Living longer is one of the greatest opportunities of our time, but it also challenges us to think differently about health and financial wellbeing,” said Patrick Graham, President & CEO, Manulife Canada. “The innovators recognized through this challenge are tackling some of the biggest questions that come with living longer: how we stay healthier for longer and how we build greater financial resilience. These are big challenges, and we need bold ideas to take them on.”

Nearly 40 per cent of Canadians are already over the age of 50ⁱⁱ, while many are balancing their own health and financial goals alongside caregiving responsibilities for aging parents and loved ones. At the same time, insights from the National Institute on Ageing‘s Ageing in Canada Survey, conducted by the NIA with support from Manulife, shows 43 per cent of older Canadians are at high risk of social isolation and only 29 per cent feel they can afford to retire, highlighting the need for innovative solutions that improve health, financial resilience and social connection. The challenge focused on three key areas: helping people plan for and navigate longer lives, supporting prevention and care coordination, and strengthening belonging and intergenerational connection.

“Longevity is reshaping how people work, save, care for others, and prepare for retirement,” said Paul Lorentz, President and Chief Executive Officer, Manulife Wealth & Asset Management. “Canada has an opportunity to lead by advancing solutions that help people remain healthy, connected, and financially resilient throughout longer lives. This winning cohort demonstrates how innovation can turn that opportunity into meaningful action for individuals, families and communities.”

The winning ventures will gain access to UpLink’s global innovation ecosystem, connecting them with corporates, investors, policymakers and other partners that can help accelerate their growth and scale their impact.

“Through the World Economic Forum’s UpLink and Global Longevity Innovation Initiative, we are proud to partner with Manulife to source and scale early-stage ventures that empower people to lead healthier, more financially resilient and fulfilling lives,” said John Dutton, Head of UpLink, World Economic Forum. “With Manulife’s support, this new cohort builds on the progress of previous editions and highlights how breakthrough solutions can help drive transformation across Canada’s health, financial and care systems, strengthening people’s ability to plan for and navigate longer lives.”

The Shaping Canada’s Longevity Advantage Challenge builds on Manulife’s multi-year partnership with UpLink, announced at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos in 2024. The partnership is designed to help identify and scale innovations that support healthier, more financially resilient and fulfilling lives as global populations age. This challenge follows the successful ‘Prospering in Longevity Challenge‘ in 2024 and ‘Innovating for Asia’s Demographic’ Future Challenge in 2025.

This initiative underscores the efforts of the Manulife Longevity Institute, a global research, thought leadership, innovation, advocacy, and community investment platform that is driving action to help people thrive at every age.
