Last fall at AU25, we introduced Autodesk Forma as the first end-to-end, cloud-based, AI-native platform built for architects, engineers, contractors, and owners. We shared a clear ambition: to bring planning, design, construction, and operations together within a single connected environment spanning the full lifecycle of the built environment. That ambition takes an important step forward. Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) is now Autodesk Forma, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of Autodesk Forma as the AECO industry cloud. Construction has long been central to our strategy, and with this transition it becomes fully integrated within Forma, strengthening the continuity between design intent and project execution. This is essential progress toward a more unified, data-driven future for AECO, where teams operate from shared information rather than isolated files, and where decisions made upstream carry context and clarity downstream. “Organizations across AECO are recognizing that fragmented data and disconnected workflows limit productivity and decision-making,” said Jeffrey Hojlo, research vice

Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced three new semiconductor teaching lab solutions designed to help universities prepare students for careers in the global semiconductor industry. The three solutions — Basic Design and Measurement, Parametric Test and On-Wafer Measurement, and Photonics IC Measurement—provide students with practical experience using professional-grade tools and workflows that are commonly used in semiconductor research, development, and manufacturing.  As the semiconductor industry accelerates globally, universities face increasing pressure to produce graduates who are industry ready. Academic institutions recognize that theory alone is no longer sufficient, and students must gain hands on experience with the same measurement techniques, workflows, and tools used in real semiconductor R&D and manufacturing environments. Keysight addresses this challenge by providing solutions designed for training and development. As part of this effort, Keysight delivers a structured, progressive learning pathway that mirrors real-world semiconductor test workflows. Students gain hands-on experience setting up professional measurement hardware, performing fundamental electrical tests,

PlantLinker has purchased a license to the C3D Converter module to develop PlantLinker, a domestic plant design CAD solution. C3D Converter is part of C3D Toolkit, a software development kit (SDK) to create, edit, visualize, and convert geometric models. PlantLinker and C3D Labs first met in 2024. The meeting led to testing the C3D Converter to compare it with other solutions available on the domestic market. The multi-stage tests showed that the C3D Labs product was a versatile and reliable tool that fit the task perfectly. Today, many design companies rely on geometric models from third-party sources. For example, manufacturers provide equipment models. The overwhelming majority of such models come from mechanical engineering CADs. The vendor needed a dedicated solution to create consistent, correctly structured models. C3D Converter is the most versatile data exchange tool. It can be customized for each specific system. The C3D Converter integration was a multi-step process: 1. Component capability

The CENIT Group generated valuable results from its ongoing transformation with strong operational performance in the 4th quarter of 2025. The guidance updated in July 2025 was fully achieved. For fiscal year 2026, the company aims for a significant increase in earnings (EBITDA +46.6%). Business Development Despite a still challenging macroeconomic environment, the CENIT Group achieved revenues of 209.5 mEUR in fiscal year 2025, slightly above the previous year (prior year 207.3 mEUR). Despite previously reported one-time effects, particularly in the first half of 2025, an operating result (EBITDA) of 12.3 mEUR (prior year 17.3 mEUR) was generated. Of this, 6.6 mEUR was achieved in the seasonally strong fourth quarter of 2025. Various operational effects had a positive impact already in 2025: reorganization measures reduced the structural cost base in the European core business, while service and software revenues were strengthened. CENIT’s software business achieved growth of 11.2%, reaching 21.4 mEUR (prior year 19.3 mEUR). Looking at these figures, one-time expenses of
