Dubai, UAE, June 10: H.E. Mohammed Ben Sulayem, President of the FIA, has met with senior leaders of the Czech Republic in Prague, reinforcing the strong partnership between the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) and one of Europe’s most significant automotive and motorsport nations.

During the visit, President Ben Sulayem held discussions with the President of the Czech Republic, H.E. Petr Pavel, Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, and Minister of Education, Youth and Sports Boris Šťastný.

The meetings this week focused on shared priorities across mobility and motorsport, including road safety, sustainable transport, innovation, and grassroots participation.

Speaking following the meetings, FIA President, H.E. Mohammed Ben Sulayem said: “The Czech Republic has a proud automotive and motorsport heritage and continues to demonstrate how mobility, innovation and sport can work together.”

“I would like to thank President Pavel, Prime Minister Babiš, and Minister Šťastný for their warm welcome and constructive discussions. I look forward to continuing our collaboration as we work together to build a safer, more sustainable future for mobility and motorsport.”

As part of discussions on mobility, President Ben Sulayem outlined the FIA’s work to improve road safety outcomes through data-driven initiatives including the FIA Road Safety Index and FIA Driver Safety Index.

The programmes provide governments, organisations and road users with practical tools to measure, benchmark and improve road safety performance, supporting the ambition of reducing road traffic fatalities and injuries.

 

The FIA President also highlighted the contribution of the Autoklub České republiky in advocating for increased accessibility and diversity in motorsport.

Through its work in education, advocacy and competition, the Club plays a vital role in creating opportunities for participation at every level of the sport. President Jan Šťovíček plays an active role within the FIA ecosystem including service on the World Motor Sport Council (WMSC), as President of the Coordination Forum for Eastern and Central European Countries (COFO), and as a board member of the FIA Foundation.

Funded by grants from the FIA and FIA Foundation, the Autoklub CR has developed two key programmes to encourage the next generation of racers.

The Karting Academy is an educational programme that develops Karting skills and knowledge while cultivating talent, and has seen more than 1,000 children attend the programme so far, with many now competing internationally. RacerBuggy 160 is a division for children aged 5 to 8 focused on autocross training. Over the last seven years, more than 3,000 children have passed through the academy.

President Ben Sulayem praised the Autoklub’s ongoing investment in karting, national championships and youth participation programmes, which are helping to strengthen the future of Czech motorsport.

President of the Autoclub of the Czech Republic, Jan Šťovíček, said: “It was an honour to showcase the positive impact that FIA funding is having across our programmes.

Bengaluru , June 10 : Honeywell today introduced Experion Cognition, an AI-enabled control system platform designed to advance autonomous operations by making recommendations and automated decisions that optimize production and increase safety within industrial facilities. The live proof-of-concept was demonstrated at Borouge Group International AG’s Ruwais facility in Abu Dhabi.

By proactively detecting and mitigating abnormal situations before they happen, Experion Cognition can help reduce process mistakes and downtime, ultimately increasing the operator’s scope of responsibilities while optimizing facility production.

“The industry has talked about autonomous control rooms for years – and now, Experion Cognition brings autonomous control rooms into production, driving safer operations and stronger performance in complex environments,” said Jim Masso, president and CEO of Honeywell Process Automation. “With AI-powered agents actively managing process abnormalities, operators can consistently achieve better results, day after day.”

The platform combines Honeywell’s decades of process automation expertise with AI models to proactively act on behalf of the operator to help resolve anomalies in the control room. As long-time operators retire, automating situation management can help solve the industrial workforce shortage and skills gap that exists. By delegating those cognitive tasks to autonomous agents, Experion Cognition helps enable less experienced operators to run plants with comparable knowledge as that of a seasoned veteran.

“Representing the petrochemical industry’s first AI autonomous operations, this collaboration sets a new industry standard for efficiency and innovation, upskilling our people, as well as boosting our performance and competitiveness,” said Dr. Hasan Karam, Chief Operating Officer of Borouge International. “This initiative is a core component of Borouge International’s AI, Digitalization & Technology program reflecting our continued focus on disciplined execution, operational impact and long-term value creation.”

Experion Cognition incorporates several AI-enabled features including Operations Assistant. In multiple pilots, the platform was able to make predictions an average of 5-10 minutes before alarm incidents.

As part of Honeywell’s Experion PKS distributed control system network, Experion Cognition is designed to seamlessly integrate into existing control room environments. Experion Cognition will be commercially available in Q3, 2026. For more information, visit Honeywell.com.

Strategic partnership aims to create venture-backed startups from Galgotias University and enable the campus as a premier destination for venture-ready talent in India

Greater Noida, June 10: Galgotias University and 247VC, a leading seed stage venture capital fund, announced a long term partnership. The collaboration encompasses the launch of the Entrepreneurship & Venture Excellence (EVE) Program, a structured initiative designed to equip students with startup-building frameworks, investor mentorship, and access to institutional capital.

Commenting on the partnership, Dr. Dhruv Galgotia, CEO, Galgotias University said, “Our partnership with 247VC is a one-of-its-kind initiative where a venture capital fund will have an active engagement presence within the University ecosystem itself, enabling students to interact directly with investors, startup mentors, founder networks, and venture-building experts.

As part of this initiative, the University will facilitate dedicated on-campus engagement spaces to enable regular interaction between students and venture capital professionals. Having venture capital presence directly on campus will help students move ideas, research, and prototypes closer to real-world execution, mentorship, and venture creation.”

The partnership is designed to bridge a critical gap in entrepreneurship education within Indian universities by providing students with practical, investor-validated frameworks rather than theoretical knowledge.

HiVision powered by OmniPro® Vision AI highlights the importance of integrated collision avoidance technology during National Forklift Safety Day

NEWBURGH, Ind. — In recognition of National Forklift Safety Day, Matrix Design Group LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Alliance Resource Partners, L.P. (NASDAQ: ALRP), and Hyundai Material Handling are highlighting a partnership focused on reducing warehouse collisions caused by blind spots, congested aisles and limited operator reaction time.

Through HiVision® powered by OmniPro®, Hyundai and Matrix are integrating edge-based pedestrian, vehicle and object detection into lift truck operations, creating a foundation for safer, more connected and more efficient material handling fleets.

“The value of this technology extends well beyond collision avoidance,” said Mark Watson, CEO of Matrix Design Group. “By integrating OmniPro Vision AI into the lift truck platform, we are helping customers create a foundation for safer operations, better visibility and more productive facilities.”

At MODEX 2026 in Atlanta, Matrix and Hyundai demonstrated the technology on a Hyundai lift truck configuration, showing how the system can identify forward and rear obstacles, escalate visual alerts from green to yellow to red and trigger speed reduction via CAN-bus integration as proximity becomes critical.

“As Hyundai looks ahead, working with Matrix as an official technology partner helps shift the approach from standalone point solutions to a more cohesive strategy,” said Lewis Byers, Executive Vice President and COO of Hyundai Material Handling. “Collision avoidance is the starting point, but the roadmap extends well beyond into a more connected and intelligent machine ecosystem.”

Matrix and Hyundai say the partnership supports safer warehouse operations while helping facilities prepare for smarter fleet technologies and future automation.

[Amsterdam, 9 June 2026] – Mews, the hospitality operating system, shared findings from a live audience poll held during Mews Unfold 2026, the company’s annual [RL1] hospitality forum. The event brought together more than 750 hoteliers, operators and industry leaders in Amsterdam. Mews polled attendees throughout the day and their answers show how a room of industry experts sees the forces reshaping hospitality: the role of new technology, the place of AI in a people-first business, and the move from fragmented software to connected systems. 

Appetite for new technology is high. 

80% of respondents said they are excited about the role new technologies will play in hospitality. The finding matches Mews’ wider hotelier research, in which 92% said they were optimistic about AI in hospitality.¹ 

That enthusiasm reflects a wider change in what hoteliers expect technology to do. The conversation on stage returned to a single idea: hotels sell the whole trip, not only the room. Guests book an experience and a moment, and the room is one part of it. The opportunity is to serve more of that trip, through new services and partnerships that meet guests where their expectations already sit. Mews’ new partnership with Uber brings ride booking inside the operating system. The trip to and from the property becomes part of the stay, not a separate transaction outside the hotel. Food and beverage, local experiences, transport and wellness are all revenue that leaves through the door today. For hoteliers, the wider experience is where the growth sits. 

Most believe technology will make hospitality more human. 

At the start of the day, 60% of attendees felt that new technology would make hospitality more human. By the close, that figure rose to 80%. The change across a single day of talks, presentations and workshops is clear, and it reframes one of the industry’s oldest worries. 

Many fear that technology erodes the human core of hospitality. The case made at Unfold was the opposite. AI is now hard to avoid, and doing it well is the real test. Technology providers need the right architecture, clean data and sound processes, not more systems stacked on top of one another. Hotels need their data in order and a clear view of where AI helps. Staff need the willingness to change and experiment. Roles will not disappear, but they will change. The front desk agent becomes a host, the revenue manager becomes a strategist. 

Hoteliers are moving from fragmented tools toward connected systems. 

At the start of the day, just over half of attendees (51%) said that having all their tools work together mattered more than assembling best-of-breed point solutions. After Mews introduced the Mews Operating System, 83% said the operating system strategy was the right fit for their business. The two questions are not a direct comparison, but the movement points to a real change in mindset over the day. 

That change sits at the heart of what Unfold set out to argue: For forty years, hotel software has run on a category map of acronyms: PMS, RMS, CRS, CRM, POS. The five product launches at Unfold collapse that map into one platform, one data model and one bill. The comparison made on stage was direct: the iPhone did not improve the phone, it made the old device obsolete. An operating system for hospitality does the same to the old stack. The data suggests that hoteliers increasingly believe that technology can be both seamlessly connected and provide best-in-class capabilities. 

“The results are a clear snapshot of where the industry stands. The appetite for new technology is real, and our customers are optimistic, not anxious,” said Richard Valtr, Founder of Mews. “They see that technology, and AI in particular, will make hospitality more human by giving teams back the time to do what they do best. And they are ready to move on from a category map drawn forty years ago, toward systems that finally work as one. The mandate from this room was clear, and we will deliver on it.” 

“Mews Unfold 2026 was an inspiring gathering of hospitality innovators, industry leaders, and passionate professionals, all coming together to shape the future of hospitality while building meaningful connections.” added Luca Molinari, Hotel Manager at Glamp Nusa. 

Save the date: Mews will return to Amsterdam on May 12, 2027.

HAMILTON, Bermuda — June 9, 2026: Relm Insurance (‘Relm’), the leading specialty insurer supporting emerging and innovative industries, today announced the launch of ALPHA, a consolidated investment management insurance policy designed for firms operating across emerging asset classes.

Investment managers are increasingly deploying capital into areas such as AI, biotech, fintech, digital assets, and the space economy. Following the earlier release of ALPHAWEB3, which was developed for investment managers operating in blockchain-based and digital asset strategies, Relm has expanded the product into a broader framework designed for firms investing across both emerging and traditional sectors. While the underlying risks remain rooted in established financial lines exposures, many firms now operate across complex structures where insurance solutions can be fragmented, with separate policies covering different parts of the platform. This can create gaps or duplication at the worst possible time, during a claim.

ALPHA has been developed to support investment managers putting capital to work in emerging industries, combining Relm’s underwriting appetite for these sectors with a consolidated policy structure. 

The product includes investment advisor professional liability, fund coverage, management liability, employment practices liability, and crime within a single, integrated framework, with extensions for areas such as pre-claim expenses, public relations costs, and loss mitigation. The policy is structured to align with how these firms operate in practice, where exposures often overlap across advisory, fund, and management activities.

“Investment managers play a critical role in financing the innovative industries that Relm serves,” said Shane Doyle, Relm’s Chief Underwriting Officer. “Supporting the firms that allocate capital into these sectors is, in turn, how we support the industries themselves. The launch of ALPHA, alongside the refresh of ALPHAWEB3, expands Relm’s ability to serve investment managers operating across digital assets and other frontier sectors, with insurance solutions designed to reflect how modern investment platforms manage risk.”

Relm’s approach combines a proprietary policy form with underwriting expertise in emerging sectors, and capacity of up to $5 million across multiple currencies.

The product is designed to support organizations from early-stage managers through to established firms, with underwriting tailored to different strategies, structures, and stages of growth.
