Sceye’s Stratospheric Platform Re-enters United States After Record-Breaking Roundtrip Stratospheric Flight Between U.S. and Japan

The journey, which lasted 30 days and traversed nearly 30,000 km, included operating for a week in the stratosphere over Japan. While over Japan, Sceye and its partner SoftBank Corp. successfully verified Direct-to-Device connectivity to unmodified devices, HAPS-based communications with drones, and edge computing from the stratosphere.

MORIARTY, N.M., Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sceye, a U.S. aerospace and material science company building High Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS) for stratospheric infrastructure, today announced the successful return of its Service Test 1 (ST1) mission to the United States after a record-breaking trans-Pacific flight from New Mexico to Japan and back. ST1 launched on August 9, 2026, and arrived in Japan 13 days later. While operating in Japan, Sceye demonstrated mobile broadband connectivity to unmodified devices through SoftBank Corp.’s core network and HAPS-based edge computing and communication with drones to support the development of a 3D communications network.

During its journey, Sceye’s ST1 traveled nearly 30,000 km and re-entered continental U.S. on September 4, 2026. ST1 reached airspace near Sceye’s headquarters in Moriarty, New Mexico on September 5, 2026, where Sceye completed additional vehicle testing and a planned termination and descent.

“Groundbreaking and historic only begin to describe our ST1 flight,” says Mikkel Vestergaard Frandsen, Founder and CEO of Sceye. “This mission proved not only that our technology, vehicle systems, payload, and operational infrastructure are ready for connectivity services, but also that the stratosphere is where the future non-terrestrial infrastructure lies. The stratosphere is what will enable the always-on future – including the promised land of 6G. Together ground, stratosphere, and space – each operating at their optimal strengths, will change the course of humanity.”

Conducted in partnership with SoftBank Corp. (TOKYO: 9434, “SoftBank”), a leading operator of telecommunications and IT businesses in Japan and globally, ST1 marks Sceye’s first flight to Asia and a groundbreaking milestone toward the commercial deployment of HAPS as stratospheric infrastructure. ST1 carried SceyeCELL, a first-of-its-kind “cell tower in the sky” designed to deliver wide-area mobile broadband directly to standard devices from the stratosphere. When deployed at full scale, one Sceye HAPS is designed to cover the equivalent area of approximately 500 terrestrial towers.

The stratosphere offers the optimal vantage point: It is close enough to Earth for high-capacity connectivity and observation, yet the altitude is high enough for wide-area reach. Importantly, the stratosphere offers space-like conditions without the cost of being in space and the disadvantages of being in orbit. Sceye’s HAPS maintain altitude and their area of operation in the stratosphere through consecutive day and night cycles, operating like geostationary satellites, only 1,800 times closer to Earth and at a fraction of the cost.

Sceye’s ST1 mission successfully:

• Traveled nearly 30,000 km from New Mexico to Japan and back to New Mexico over a month-long journey
• Operated within Japanese-managed airspace for over 7 days
• Remained continuously within its target location on the coast of Japan for an extended period, achieving a station-seeking radius as low as 5 km
• Operated between 16.5 and 17 km altitude while completing telecommunications, drone, and emergency communications
• Demonstrated mobile broadband from the stratosphere, including text messaging, voice calls, internet access, and video streaming
• Tested emergency calls, using an emergency alert messaging system designed for large-scale disasters, as well as communications with drones
• Confirmed communications performance equivalent to that of terrestrial networks while reducing radio interference with ground-based base stations
• Through a server installed on the HAPS, Sceye and SoftBank conducted data processing directly on the platform, demonstrating an average round-trip processing response time of 68 milliseconds, reducing communications latency by over 40% compared with internet-based cloud processing. This marks the world’s first successful test in which a mobile core network and a web server for processing were installed on a HAPS, enabling response processing to be performed entirely onboard the HAPS and the results to be relayed back to smartphones.

ST1 is the first flight of Sceye’s Service Test Program.

About Sceye

Founded in 2014, Sceye (pronounced “sky”) is an aerospace company dedicated to advancing stratospheric infrastructure to connect people and protect the planet. Sceye leads the High-Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS) industry, focusing on universal connectivity, climate monitoring, natural resource management, and disaster prevention.

COLE HAAN LAUNCHES “COMFORTABLE ANYWHERE” CAMPAIGN STARRING CHRISTIAN SLATER AND JENNY SLATE

Cole Haan’s fall 2026 global campaign is about staying comfortable, confident and completely yourself—whatever the day throws your way.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Cole Haan unveils Comfortable Anywhere, its fall 2026 global brand campaign starring Christian Slater and Jenny Slate.

Experience the full interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/cole-haan/9375451-en-comfortable-anywhere-campaign-christian-slater-jenny-slate

Comfortable Anywhere builds on Cole Haan’s longstanding belief that looking good and feeling good should never be a trade-off. Christian’s understated cool and Jenny’s expressive wit bring two unique personalities to the campaign.

“We wanted Comfortable Anywhere to feel real. Not perfectly planned or overly polished,” said Krissie Millan, Chief Marketing Officer at Cole Haan. “Christian and Jenny bring a sense of humor to everyday moments that made them perfect for this campaign.  They know how to keep things in perspective, which feels very Cole Haan.”

Shot in a day-in-the-life format, the films find Christian preparing for the arrival of dinner guests while Jenny faces a looming deadline. Christian takes a decidedly relaxed approach to hosting—and making homemade pasta for the first time—while Jenny searches for inspiration everywhere but her desk. Through it all, Cole Haan provides the comfort to keep moving through whatever the day brings.

Christian and Jenny wear the GrandPrø FlexCraft™ sneaker throughout the campaign, bringing Cole Haan’s FlexCraft™ technology to a sneaker for the first time. Originally developed for dress footwear, FlexCraft™ allows lightweight cushioning to take on the refined look of a traditional stacked-leather heel—bringing an element of classic shoemaking craft and polished comfort to a modern sneaker.

Additional fall hero styles include the ØriginalGrand SkyWeave™ Everarc worn by Christian—Cole Haan’s first performance runner, engineered with SkyWeave™ technology and FeatherFeel™ cushioning—and the GrandPrø Runner 2.0 worn by Jenny, an ultra-lightweight sneaker designed for all-day wear.

The featured styles are part of a broader fall wardrobe of sneakers, loafers, boots, handbags and accessories—all designed with the same idea in mind: looking pulled together shouldn’t come at the expense of feeling comfortable.

Comfortable Anywhere brings Cole Haan’s Feel What’s Possible™ philosophy to life: when you feel at ease with where you are, you’re more open to what comes next. With its centennial approaching in 2028, Cole Haan is building on nearly a century of craft while continuing to look ahead.

Developed in partnership with brand transformation agency Invisible Dynamics, Comfortable Anywhere launches globally on September 9, 2026, across digital, out-of-home, colehaan.com and Cole Haan retail. The launch will be supported by paid social and a strategic influencer and creator program, bringing the campaign and fall product assortment to new and engaged audiences. Seasonal products will be available at colehaan.com, Cole Haan stores and select wholesale partners worldwide.

ABOUT COLE HAAN

Cole Haan is a global American lifestyle brand distributed in more than 100 countries worldwide. For nearly a century, Cole Haan has combined time-honored craft with modern innovation to create footwear and lifestyle accessories that bring style and comfort together in unexpected ways. Today, the brand continues to build on that legacy with a growing collection designed for modern life. To learn more, visit colehaan.com and follow @colehaan.

Yubi Group Launches ‘TopScore’ at GFF 2026 to Widen Credit Health Awareness for Indian borrowers

MUMBAI, India, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Yubi Group, the AI-powered operating system for financial services, today launched TopScore, a consumer credit-health app, unveiled at the Global Fintech Fest (GFF) 2026. The launch arrives at a pivotal moment for financial inclusion in India: even as over a billion Indians are now eligible for credit, recent studies suggest nearly one in two have never checked their credit score, and many first encounter it only as a loan rejection, without understanding what shaped it or what to do next. Credit access has scaled; credit understanding has not.

The app was unveiled by Mr. Ajay Kumar Choudhary, Non-Executive Chairman and Independent Director of the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), Independent Director on the Board of Yubi Group, and a former Executive Director of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

Speaking at the launch, Mr. Choudhary said, “Financial health begins with early education, not late collections. When consumers understand their credit habits before taking on debt, we break the default cycle and curb NPAs across the entire system. Solutions like TopScore are an integral pillar of the effort to improve credit literacy and protect everyday citizens from debt stress.”

Gaurav Kumar, Founder & CEO, Yubi Group, shared the vision behind the launch saying, “For years, debt management in India was reactive, focused on collections, recovery, and managing NPAs after financial stress had already set in. That era is ending. By channeling deep credit infrastructure and predictive technology toward the consumer, we are shifting from reactive recovery to proactive credit health. TopScore is the natural culmination of that evolution. It moves the conversation beyond simply accessing credit to helping people borrow smarter, build lasting financial health, and prevent debt stress before it begins.”

TopScore is a comprehensive credit-health companion built around three simple steps: check, understand, and grow. Users start with a free credit score and full report, drawn from Experian, one of India’s leading credit bureaus with the user’s own consent, and translated from complex bureau data into plain language across 10 languages, including Hindi and English. An AI Score Coach turns that report into a personal, step-by-step plan, showing what is helping a user’s profile and what is holding it back, while a Human Coach, (a real credit expert who speaks the user’s language) is available for the moments where human intervention is required. A built-in score predictor lets users play out real-life scenarios and see their estimated effect before acting. And the app goes beyond numbers: TopScore assists users in raising disputes to correct reporting errors, and in pursuing a consent-first, borrower-initiated path to resolve past dues directly with their lender and rebuild.

TopScore will be available on Google Play Store and the Apple App Store soon.

While TopScore is a bold step into the consumer space, it stands on the foundation of the Yubi Group. For years, Yubi has been the engine powering the systems behind India’s credit landscape. By channeling that institutional understanding into a consumer product, Yubi Group is uniquely positioned to serve the entire credit lifecycle, from awareness to access to rebuilding.

Yubi Group is the world’s only AI-powered operating system (OS) for financial services, founded in 2020 by CEO Gaurav Kumar.

Yubi launches Pye, a multi-lender platform for retail borrowers, at Global Fintech Fest 2026

MUMBAI, India, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Yubi Group today launched Pye, a new lending platform built for retail borrowers, at the Global Fintech Fest (GFF) 2026 at the Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai. The launch was marked by Mr. Ajay Kumar Choudhary, non-executive chairman of the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) and an independent director on Yubi Group’s board, who previously served as executive director at the Reserve Bank of India.

Pye is built for the moments that call for credit in everyday life: a wedding, a home, an education, a medical need, a new business idea. Instead of routing a borrower’s application to a single lender, Pye connects it to a network of lending partners at once, matching each borrower’s profile to the partner best suited to their need, loan type, and timeline.

India’s retail credit market is expanding rapidly, with substantial room for further growth. According to CRISIL Intelligence, retail loan growth is projected to reach 17–18% in fiscal 2026. Yet, India’s household debt-to-GDP ratio stood at just 45.5% as of September 2025 (per the RBI’s June 2026 Financial Stability Report), far below more credit-penetrated markets like South Korea, which sits at nearly 89%. Pye taps into this expanding demand by leveraging Yubi’s existing lender network, allowing retail borrowers to connect with roughly 80% of India’s top lending institutions through a single integration to find well-matched credit.

“Every lender has its own view of risk, its own criteria for ticket size, documentation, and timing, shaped by its own mandate. That’s the nature of a healthy lending market,” said Gaurav Kumar, founder and CEO, Yubi Group. “It also means the right partner for a borrower isn’t always the first one they approach. Pye is built to help a borrower find that fit faster, matching them to the right lenders across our network, instead of going door to door. The compliance and legal work, KYC, documentation, disclosures, happens once on Pye, so a borrower isn’t repeating paperwork with every application. We open these avenues while being fully compliant with RBI’s digital lending guidelines such as neutral display of offers, full disclosure on APR, and ensuring native journeys for seamless customer experience.”

“Credit access works best when it is broad-based, transparent, and well matched to the borrowers’ needs. Initiatives that bring technology and multiple regulated lenders together, like Pye, are a welcome step for India’s financial inclusion agenda,” said Mr. Ajay Kumar Choudhary, non-executive chairman, NPCI, and independent director, Yubi Group.

Over the past six years, Yubi’s platforms have enabled more than ₹3.2 lakh crore in credit across 3.5 crore transactions while enabling ₹80,000 crores in debt collections.

The name Pye draws from π, the mathematical constant whose value continues without repeating. It’s a small nod to the idea behind the platform: a borrower’s options shouldn’t end with one lender’s decision on a given day. Pye’s tagline reflects this: ‘One platform. Infinite possibilities.’

Every lender on Pye is RBI-regulated, pricing and terms are shown transparently before a borrower proceeds, and a borrower’s data is shared only with the lenders they choose to apply to.

Pye’s ambition goes beyond a dedicated app. Yubi is working to make Pye reachable over time from the online storefronts, bill payment platforms, and other everyday digital services, bringing credit closer to the moment it is actually needed.

Pye is being showcased at GFF 2026, running September 9-11 at the Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai, where Yubi is at booth F2.

Adani Airports to raise ~USD 1 billion of primary equity from marquee global investors

Investment by Alpha Wave Global, Premji Invest, Temasek and BlackRock managed funds values AAHL at ~USD 18 billion pre-money equity valuation

Editor’s Synopsis

• Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL) has entered into binding agreements to raise ₹9,825 crores (~USD 1 billion) of primary equity capital from a consortium of leading domestic and global investors.
• The transaction values AAHL at a pre-money equity valuation of ~USD 18 billion, establishing a significant external institutional valuation benchmark for the airports platform.
• The investor consortium comprises Alpha Wave Global, Premji Invest, Temasek and BlackRock managed funds. Upon completion of all three tranches, the investors will collectively hold approximately 5.54% in AAHL.
• The proceeds will support airport modernisation and capacity expansion to serve ~ 200 million passengers annually, integrated Adani Airport City development of ~22 million sq. ft. of mixed-use development in the first phase and the continued scaling of AAHL’s ground handling and non-aeronautical businesses.

AHMEDABAD, India, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL), a subsidiary of Adani Enterprises Limited (AEL) and one of India’s largest private airport operators, has entered into binding agreements to raise ₹9,825 crore (~USD 1 billion) of primary equity capital from a consortium of investors comprising Alpha Wave Global, Premji Invest, Temasek and BlackRock managed funds. The transaction values AAHL at a pre-money equity valuation of ~USD 18 billion and represents one of the largest primary equity investments from financial institutions in India’s airport infrastructure sector.

The participation of a consortium of long-term domestic and global investors represents a significant institutional endorsement of AAHL’s scale, operating capabilities and long-term growth potential. The investment brings long-duration institutional capital into the business at a time when India’s aviation sector is entering a sustained phase of passenger growth, capacity expansion and infrastructure investment.

AAHL and the investors have entered into a Share Subscription Agreement and a Shareholders’ Agreement pursuant to which the investors will subscribe to new equity shares of AAHL in three tranches, with the final tranche expected to be completed by July 2027. Upon completion of all three tranches, the investors will collectively hold approximately 5.54% in AAHL.

The proceeds will support three strategic priorities: expanding and modernising airport infrastructure across AAHL’s portfolio; accelerating the development of integrated Adani Airport City ecosystems around its airports with development of ~ 22 million sq. ft. of mixed-use development planned in the first phase; and scaling passenger-facing and other non-aeronautical businesses including our ground handling business. These investments are expected to increase capacity to serve ~ 200 million passengers annually, deepen commercial monetisation, enhance passenger experience and further strengthen AAHL’s integrated airport ecosystem.

The transaction follows AEL’s successful ₹15,000 crore qualified institutional placement (QIP) in July 2026, India’s largest QIP by a non-financial corporate. Together, the transactions reflect continued access by the Adani portfolio to significant pools of long-term domestic and global institutional capital.

“This partnership marks an important milestone in building out the Adani Airports platform, and we are privileged to have such marquee, long-term investors alongside us on this journey,” said Mr. Jeet Adani, Non-Executive Director, Adani Airport Holdings Limited. “India’s aviation sector is one of the most powerful multipliers of the country’s GDP growth. Every expansion in air connectivity catalyses trade, tourism, employment and regional development well beyond the airport gate. With the backing of these partners, we will continue to invest ahead of that growth, scaling our infrastructure, city-side developments and non-aeronautical businesses to build one of the world’s leading integrated airport platforms.”

“We will continue to build capabilities within AAHL to scale it into the world’s largest airports platform,” said Mr. Arun Bansal, CEO, Adani Airport Holdings Limited. “This ambition is buoyed by the exponential growth opportunities across India, the rising spending power of the Indian consumer, and the momentum of our city-side developments as powerful economic catalysts in the country’s major urban centres. We are deeply grateful to our partners for their confidence and look forward to continuing on this path together as we build a truly world-class airport platform for India.”

The key advisors to the transaction were Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, AZB & Partners, JSA Advocates and Solicitors, TT&A Advocates and Solicitors, Jefferies India Private Limited, SBI Capital Markets Limited and Ernst & Young LLP.

The transaction is subject to customary conditions precedent, including receipt of applicable approvals.

DFI Introduces One Board, Two CPU Generations Mini-ITX Platform to Advance Physical AI for Robotics and Automation

TAIPEI, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DFI, a Qisda Group company and a global leader in embedded motherboards and industrial computers, introduces the ARH171/ARH173, expanding its AI-ready portfolio with a Mini-ITX platform built for space-constrained, mission-critical deployments. Powered by Intel® technologies, the ARH171/ARH173 is purpose-built to handle demanding Physical AI workloads from perception to reasoning, enabling next-generation smart logistics and industrial automation.

As Physical AI transitions to operational deployment, intralogistics is driving rapid mobile automation adoption. Mordor Intelligence projects the autonomous mobile robot (AMR) market to expand at a CAGR of nearly 15% through 2029 to counter labor shortages, while advanced systems like 3D cube storage robots require on-device AI to navigate floors, climb racks, and process dense sensor streams in real time.

Flexibility starts at the board level. The ARH171/ARH173 adopts a unified “One Board, Two Generations” architecture, supporting 16 Intel® Core™ Ultra processor options across Meteor Lake-U/H and Arrow Lake-U/H (15–28W; Intel vPro® available on select SKUs). Delivering up to 99 total platform TOPS on Arrow Lake-H models, its integrated Intel® Arc™ GPU and dedicated NPU accelerate AI inference via OpenVINO™, DirectML, and ONNX RT. This lowers reliance on discrete graphics, reducing thermal and spatial overhead while enabling system integrators to scale across performance tiers using a unified platform architecture. The launch will further leverage DFI’s core strengths in embedded computing to support Qisda Group’s overall strategy across its four AI business categories: “AI Vision & Display,” “AI Infrastructure,” “AI Solutions & Smart Manufacturing,” and “AI Hospital & Wellness Ecosystem.”

“System integrators developing next-generation autonomous logistics robots need to shorten validation cycles and avoid recurring redesign costs,” said Claire Tien, President of DFI. “By supporting two processor generations on a unified board architecture, the ARH171/ARH173 simplifies long-term platform planning, delivers on-chip AI acceleration, and supports continuous operation through hardware-level remote management.”

Once deployed, reliable operation and reduced on-site maintenance become critical. Engineered for 24/7 robotic deployments, the ARH173 features a 12–28V wide-range DC input, up to three 2.5GbE LAN ports, and modular M.2 expansion for flexible sensor integration. To simplify field maintenance, the optional DFI EXT-OOB module enables out-of-band power cycling and OS recovery even if the primary system is unresponsive, while integrated Intel vPro® technology (on select SKUs) provides comprehensive remote hardware management.

From board to system to solution, the ARH171/ARH173 delivers a deployment-ready foundation that consolidates dual-generation scalability, native AI performance, and remote management into a single validation point, reducing engineering overhead and accelerating the transition from pilot to production.

Yubi Group Launches Yubi Asset Management, and its portfolio management service, Yubi PoleStar

New business brings Yubi’s credit-native underwriting intelligence to family offices and institutional allocators, launching at Global Fintech Fest 2026

MUMBAI, India, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Yubi, AI-powered credit OS for financial services, today announced the launch of Yubi Asset Management, its new asset management business, along with its first offering: Yubi PoleStar, a SEBI-registered portfolio management service built for family offices and institutional investors. The launch was announced at Global Fintech Fest 2026, with Gopal Srinivasan, Chairman, TVS Capital Funds and board member, Yubi Group, as chief guest.

Yubi Asset Management Private Limited is a SEBI-registered Portfolio Manager. The company operates on top of Yubi’s existing credit market infrastructure, underwriting intelligence and origination pipeline, bringing the same credit-native discipline the Group has applied across lending, supply-chain finance, securitisation and the bond market to private portfolio management.

Yubi PoleStar runs several strategies across different investment horizons and risk appetites, serving corporates and HNIs seeking stable income and liquidity management, investors focused on long-term, all-weather wealth creation, and accredited investors and family offices seeking bespoke, multi-asset portfolios.

The strategies are built on what Yubi calls its six-gate credit architecture: a structured process spanning data ingestion and forensics, principal-level engagement, risk modelling, investment committee approval, structural and covenant design, and active surveillance, applied before and after every allocation. A weighted risk framework evaluates industry, business, financial and management risk on every credit under consideration, and portfolios are governed by a quarterly Investment Policy Committee, independent third-party valuation, and segregated custody with assets held in each client’s own name.

“Yubi has spent years building the infrastructure that connects India’s banks, NBFCs, enterprises and institutional investors across the credit lifecycle,” said Gaurav Kumar, Founder and CEO, Yubi Group. “Yubi Asset Management brings that same infrastructure and intelligence to a different set of investors: family offices and institutional allocators who want credit-native discipline applied to their own portfolios, not just to the markets they invest alongside.”

Yubi Asset Management is led by Anshul Baranwal, Chief Investment Officer, who brings 15 years of experience across UBS, ASK Private Wealth and ICICI Securities, and Irfan Mohammed, Director, who also serves as Managing Director at the Group company Aspero and has held senior roles at Vivriti Capital and Northern Arc.

“Debt investing in India has largely borrowed its models from equity,” said Anshul Baranwal, Chief Investment Officer, Yubi Asset Management. “We built Yubi PoleStar the other way around: credit-native from the ground up; bringing the seasoned underwriting and structuring discipline we’ve refined across market cycles directly into a portfolio format built for modern wealth generation and a governance framework built for allocators who want to see exactly where their capital sits, every day. It is a proven institutional framework now directly powering Yubi PoleStar.”

Yubi Group has facilitated over $36 billion in total credit across its businesses, and evaluates over 8 lakh loans a month through its proprietary risk-assessment models. Active in India’s primary debt market every year since 2020, the Group has led 850 primary NCD and MLD issuances, mobilised over ₹40,000 crore in capital across primary issuances, financed over 200 distinct issuers across the credit spectrum, and secured 96% of issuances through collateral-backed structuring, across 25+ lending and asset-class segments (as per Q3 FY26 issuance data, Yubi Group data).
