• Nexo renews its Nexo Championship title partnership for the second year in 2026.
• The Nexo Championship, with a newly increased prize fund of $3 million, will return to Aberdeenshire on August 20-23, 2026.
• The tournament concludes the 2026 Closing Swing on the Race to Dubai schedule.

 

Nexo, the premier digital assets wealth platform, and the DP World Tour have confirmed a renewed agreement that will see the Nexo Championship return to Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire from August 20-23, 2026. The tournament will serve as the concluding event of the DP World Tour’s Closing Swing – the final event of the first phase of the 2026 Race to Dubai.

In 2025, Nexo joined the DP World Tour as its Official Digital Wealth Platform through 2027 before soon adding the title rights at the Nexo Championship. For its part, the Nexo Championship made its mark from day one: The inaugural 2025 edition launched the Course Record presented by Nexo – a season-long rolling prize fund, starting at $10,000 per tournament and growing with each event until a course record is broken, before resetting for the next.

 

“The Nexo Championship has become something we are genuinely proud of – a tournament that launched the first-ever course record prize on the DP World Tour, and a Scottish champion on home soil in its inaugural year. We are back because this partnership earns its place in our portfolio through measurable long-term view. The Nexo Championship and the DP World Tour give us concentrated, recurring exposure to exactly the audience Nexo is built for – and that is a combination worth renewing,” the Nexo team said of the sponsorship.

 

 

Ben Cowen, Chief Tournament and Operations Officer at the DP World Tour, said: “We are pleased to have reached this new agreement with both Nexo and Trump International Golf Links for the Nexo Championship to again be part of our global schedule, and we thank them for their continued commitment. The Trump International Old Course has earned a reputation as one of the leading new links courses in the United Kingdom, and it was a great backdrop for last year’s tournament. With the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship taking place on our Staysure Legends Tour at the start of August, it is set to be another fantastic month of golf in Aberdeen this summer.”

 

 

Speaking on behalf of the host venue, Eric F. Trump said: “We are greatly honoured to host the DP World Tour’s Nexo Championship at Trump International, Scotland – home of the greatest 36 holes in world golf. This is the second consecutive year we have hosted this prestigious event, and I am immensely proud of the two championships link courses that we have built along the spectacular North Sea shoreline. It is testament to their quality and stature that both the Old Course and New Course will host world-class tournaments this August.”

 

 

Don Trump Jr. also commented on the renewal of the Nexo Championship: “2026 is set to be another incredible year for championship golf at Trump International, Scotland. A huge thank you to the title sponsor Nexo and all those committed to delivering this great event.”

 

 

As a tournament, the Nexo Championship first appeared on the Race to Dubai in 2020 as the Scottish Championship. Its evolution into a named Nexo staple reflects both the DP World Tour’s growing sponsorship ambitions and Nexo’s broader mission for consistent, long-term, and purposeful title partnerships at historically significant events – the most effective tools for building lasting brand recognition in premium markets.

 

 

At last year’s Nexo Championship, Scotland’s Grant Forrest claimed his second DP World Tour title, finishing eight under par and four strokes clear of England’s Joe Dean. Forrest also collected a $10,000 bonus as the inaugural winner of the Course Record presented by Nexo, set during a second-round 66. The 2026 edition will introduce a celebrity pro-am on Wednesday, August 19, broadening the tournament’s appeal beyond solely the professional field.

 

 

The Nexo Championship renewal is one expression of a deliberate, long-term approach to sport that Nexo is building across disciplines and continents. As Official Partner of the Audi Revolut Formula 1 Team, Official Crypto Partner of the Australian Open, title partner of the ATP 500 Dallas Open, and Official Regional Digital Asset Partner of the Argentine National Football Team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Nexo has constructed a portfolio designed for compounding returns – recurring, premium exposure and experiences for the financially active, globally mobile audiences it serves.

Visa (NYSE: V), a world leader in digital payments, today released its Spring 2026 Biannual Threats Report, revealing that scams have become the fastest-growing source of consumer harm as criminals increasingly use artificial intelligence and social engineering to manipulate people into authorizing payments themselves.

 

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260520153924/en/

 

 

The report draws on intelligence from Visa’s global network and underscores a critical shift in the fraud landscape: while core payment security continues to strengthen at the network level, criminals are redirecting their efforts away from technical system compromises toward exploiting human trust.

 

 

From July to December 2025, Visa identified nearly $1 billion in scam-related activity, making scams the single largest category of consumer payment fraud. Unlike traditional fraud, these attacks typically do not require breaching technology. Instead, scammers impersonate trusted brands and institutions, manufacture urgency, and deceive victims into completing legitimate-looking transactions.

 

 

“Payments at a network level continue to get safer, but threats are evolving faster than ever,” said Paul Fabara, Chief Risk and Client Services Officer at Visa. “Criminals are increasingly targeting people rather than technology, using deception, urgency and AI-enabled tools to exploit trust. Addressing this shift requires continuous innovation at the network level and close collaboration across banks, merchants, policymakers and the broader payments ecosystem.”

 

 

Four trends shaping the global payment threat landscape

 

 

The latest edition of the Biannual Threats Report identifies four major trends reshaping payment security worldwide:

 

 

• Security is working, but fraud is migrating: Fraud involving device tokens declined 9.6% from July 2025 – December 2025 over the same period in 2024, reinforcing that stronger authentication and network-level protections are effective, even as overall attack volumes continue to rise.
• Scams are accelerating: Scams are now the dominant consumer threat as criminals prioritize social engineering over direct system breaches.
• AI is transforming fraud on both sides: Fraudsters are using AI to scale more convincing scams, while defenders are increasingly deploying AI to detect and stop attacks earlier in the transaction lifecycle.
• Ransomware economics are shifting: Global ransomware activity increased 26% from July 2025 – December 2025 over the same period in 2024, yet only 23% of victims paid ransoms – the lowest rate on record – reflecting improving resilience and recovery capabilities, as well as a reluctance to pay when data could still be leaked, regardless of payment.

 

“The rapid adoption of AI has fundamentally lowered the barrier to entry for fraud,” said Michael Jabbara, SVP, Payment Ecosystem Risk and Control at Visa. “What once required deep technical skill can now be executed with a prompt. That reality makes intelligence-driven defenses and coordinated action across the ecosystem more critical than ever. With this report, our goal is to help leaders act sooner – before fraud reaches consumers.”

• 1GLOBAL now offers transcription with insights into mobile calls in 10 countries on Verint Communications Analytics, built specifically for financial markets and trading environments
• Streamlines the compliance investigation and mobile call monitoring process through transcription and analysis
• Supports transcription and translation from 30+ languages into English with near real-time processing

 

1GLOBAL, a pioneer in global telecommunications solutions, today announced its launch of Verint® Communications Analytics, a key offering within Verint Financial Compliance (VFC) providing mobile call transcription and analytics capabilities. Verint Communications Analytics has been designed to help financial institutions and regulated organizations accelerate productivity when monitoring voice calls (including mobile), identifying behavioral patterns, querying data intentionally by topic, risks, keywords or sentiment, identifying misuse and reducing regulatory risk.

 

Verint Communications Analytics is seamlessly integrated into 1GLOBAL’s mobile platform across 10 international markets. It enables cloud compliance customers to achieve faster and more efficient results via transcription and various analytics.

 

 

Transforming Raw Data into Actionable and Valuable Intelligence

 

 

As regulatory scrutiny intensifies, financial firms face growing pressure to monitor communications more comprehensively, yet many still rely on fragmented recording tools and a time-consuming manual review process.

 

 

1GLOBAL’s use of Verint Communications Analytics fundamentally addresses this challenge by transforming compliance from a reactive obligation into a proactive intelligence function.

 

 

The 1GLOBAL Cloud Compliance Platform records all mobile calls and SMS and securely transfers them to Verint Communications Analytics for automated transcription, summarization, sentiment analysis, and multilingual topic detection – translating from 30+ languages into English with near real-time processing.

 

 

This allows compliance teams working in financial institutions and regulated industries to identify risks faster and investigate potential issues in days rather than weeks, completely securely.

 

 

1GLOBAL’s entire architecture is deployed in multiple regions, including EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and North America, ensuring that call media is always processed locally within the customer’s regulatory jurisdiction and never transferred across regions. This is why 1GLOBAL Compliance is trusted by regulated financial institutions, including eight of the world’s top ten investment banks.

 

 

Siobhan Thompson, Head of Sales, 1GLOBAL Compliance, said: “In today’s regulatory environment, firms need confidence that business communications are being captured accurately and reviewed efficiently. By combining Verint Communications Analytics with our global mobile recording capabilities, we help compliance teams identify potential risks faster, reduce operational burden, and strengthen oversight across regulated communications.”

 

 

John Bourne, SVP Global Channels and Alliances, Verint, said: “Extending Verint Communications Analytics to 1GLOBAL’s mobile network marks an important step in how regulated firms can apply AI to voice data at a global scale. Together we are equipping compliance and risk teams with a unified view across mobile communications, helping them move from sampling and spot checks to continuous, intelligent oversight.”

• Thales and Google Cloud have signed a landmark partnership to launch a new European sovereign cloud offering in Germany, delivering advanced cloud capabilities to customers while keeping their data confidential, secure and fully sovereign.
• This solution will live on dedicated infrastructure that will be managed and operated by a new German entity, which Thales will fully own and control.
• This offering is designed to meet the stringent digital sovereignty and regulatory requirements of German public sector organizations and highly regulated industries, and meet Germany’s new C3A framework criteria. It is available in Preview now and aims for General Availability by the end of 2026.
• By establishing this new sovereign region alongside PREMI3NS by S3NS, a Thales subsidiary, this new partnership marks an industry-first: a pan-European, geo-redundant, sovereign cloud offering that delivers a unique cross-border disaster recovery solution in Europe for Europe.

 

 

Thales, a global leader in high technologies, today announced a strategic partnership with Google Cloud to establish a new sovereign cloud solution in Germany. Building on the success of S3NS, Thales’ trusted cloud subsidiary in France, and operator of its first European sovereign cloud region, this agreement marks a decisive step in meeting the German market’s demand for sovereign solutions that shield sensitive data from extraterritorial laws.

 

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260520279285/en/

 

 

 

Thales will launch a new German entity, legally and operationally independent from Google Cloud, that will be staffed and managed by local German personnel, ensuring that no third party, including non-European entities, can access the data stored or processed within it.

 

“Germany represents a critical market for sovereign technologies, and this partnership is a direct response to private and public sector German organizations wanting access to Google Cloud’s technology under full German control. By launching this locally operated infrastructure, we are delivering a solution that guarantees sensitive workloads remain protected from any extraterritorial reach while meeting the unique security and compliance requirements of our customers,” said Christoph Ruffner, CEO and Country Director of Thales in Germany.

 

 

The partnership reflects a shared conviction that German and European organizations in the highly regulated industries and the public sector can benefit from cloud services that combine world-class technology with the highest standards of security and control.

 

 

“Our partnership with Thales in Germany represents a significant milestone in our commitment to digital sovereignty in Germany and Europe. By combining the power and scale of Google Cloud with Thales’ deep expertise in cybersecurity and local operational control, we are enabling German organizations even in the most sensitive sectors to innovate with confidence, while meeting the specific legal and operational safeguards required by the local regulatory landscape,” said Marianne Janik, Vice President, EMEA North, Google Cloud.

 

 

Addressing the need for sovereign cloud offerings in Germany

 

 

This new German sovereign cloud offering will be based on the most advanced technologies and services of each partner, bringing the benefits of hyperscale cloud technology to companies and public sector organizations so they can innovate transparently, autonomously and securely. The planned new entity will be structured to ensure complete operational separation from Google Cloud, providing customers with the legal and technical guarantees they need in an increasingly regulated environment. In addition, this new solution will provide enhanced continuity and reliability across Europe.

 

 

The solution is available in Preview now and expected to be generally available by the end of 2026, and is being developed to meet regulatory requirements including C5 and the new C3A framework.

 

 

A proven model, now scaling across Europe

 

 

This expansion creates two complementary sovereign regions run by Thales. With a technology and operating model identical to PREMI3NS by S3NS in France, this new region will also enable German, French, and European customers to benefit from enhanced resilience, through disaster recovery capabilities across both regions while maintaining high security standards.Having achieved SecNumCloud 3.2 qualification for its PREMI3NS offering at the end of 2025, S3NS demonstrates that state-of-the-art cloud innovation can be combined with stringent security, operational control, and strong protection of sensitive data.

 

 

“S3NS highly welcomes this new partnership. With this German region, we are building a European first: by aiming for both SecNumCloud qualification and C5 – C3A framework across both regions, it is the first time a sovereign cloud model targets different local certifications simultaneously, simplifying the compliance burden for multinational customers. And by providing this multi-region sovereign cloud capability, we will enable European organizations to benefit from enhanced resilience, without ever compromising on sovereignty,” said Hélène Bringer, President of S3NS and Vice-President, Critical Information Systems at Thales.

 

 

Thales in Germany, an industrial player employing 2,300 people across nine sites, with a presence in the country dating back to 1880, provides the foundation for this partnership. Its longstanding expertise in critical missions across defense, security, aerospace, and digital identity positions Thales as a natural partner to address Germany’s most sensitive cloud requirements.

 

 

Relevant employee representatives of Thales will be informed and consulted on this project.

 

 

The official name of the new German entity will be unveiled in the coming months.

 

 

Customers and partners are welcoming the Sovereign Cloud partnership between Thales and Google Cloud

 

 

“The digital transformation of statutory health insurance will be built upon the foundation of modern AI and cloud technology. This will be crucial for enabling us to continue operating efficiently and with a strong customer focus in the market, particularly in light of the impending challenges facing the healthcare insurance system as a whole. At the same time, the healthcare sector is – quite rightly – subject to the strictest regulatory requirements. We are following the partnership between Thales Germany and Google Cloud with great interest; we welcome the availability of such solution approaches on the market, and, by extension, the implementation of solutions that fully comply with regulatory standards. They demonstrate that digital innovation and uncompromising data security can indeed go hand in hand – an absolute prerequisite for earning the trust of customers and policyholders.” Sebastian Angerstein, IT Project- and Solutionmanagement Lead, AOK Niedersachsen

 

 

“Financial markets thrive on integrity, and digital sovereignty is an indispensable building block in this regard. It sends an important signal to the market that, through Google Cloud Dedicated in conjunction with Thales, a solution is being created that combines technological excellence with resilient, cross-border infrastructure. Such offerings create further opportunities to securely and reliably scale highly regulated processes in the cloud.” Dr. Christoph Böhm, Member of the Executive Board Deutsche Börse AG, Chief Information Officer/Chief Operating Officer

 

 

“The protection and sovereign control of sensitive health data are of the highest priority for the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein. At the same time, modern university hospitals require powerful and highly scalable cloud and AI infrastructures to effectively drive innovation in research, translation, and patient care at the highest level. In our view, the partnership between Thales Germany and Google Cloud combines both: modern cloud and AI technologies at an international level of innovation, as well as localized control and regulatory compliance for sensitive data and critical applications. Such sovereign cloud approaches constitute a key building block for implementing digital innovations in the healthcare sector in a responsible and future-proof manner.” Rudolf Dück, CIO, University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein

 

 

“The New Sovereign Cloud Offering from Thales Germany and Google Cloud represents a consistent and forward-looking enhancement of our broad cloud portfolio. As a future-oriented European IT partner and multi-cloud broker for enterprises and the public sector, our ambition is to make digital sovereignty tangible and actionable. That is why we place great importance on technology-agnostic consulting, robust infrastructures, and resilient strategies that preserve freedom of choice and provide our customers with reliable courses of action in any situation. We look forward to further strengthening our successful partnership in this key area.” Melanie Schüle, Managing Director, Bechtle Clouds

 

 

“Digital sovereignty and data protection in accordance with European standards are key requirements for our customers – in both the private and public sectors – regarding their technological infrastructure. We therefore welcome the collaboration between Google and Thales to provide a sovereign cloud in Germany. This partnership represents a logical response to the growing demand for highly secure and scalable solutions for sensitive data. As a consultancy and systems integrator, we enable our customers to access these innovations directly.” Volker Krug, CEO, Deloitte Germany

 

 

“As one of the leading partners for the public sector, we recognize that digital sovereignty is the fundamental prerequisite for the digital transformation of public administration. The joint offering from Thales Germany and Google Cloud – specifically Google Cloud Dedicated – perfectly complements our portfolio, enabling us to provide our customers with a technologically first-class solution that meets stringent regulatory requirements. Together with our partners, we guide government agencies and public institutions in navigating their transition to the cloud in a manner that is secure, transparent, and legally compliant, thereby sustainably strengthening the state’s capacity to act in the digital era.” Thomas Garbe, Managing Director, SoftwareOne Deutschland GmbH

The campaign launches with goalkeeping legends, including former U.S. Men’s National Team goalkeeper Tim Howard. The initiative is backed by a $300,000 community commitment for the installation of soccer mini-pitches near cancer treatment centers with the U.S. Soccer Foundation, and BeOne colleague‑driven charitable support across the world.

John V. Oyler, Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO, BeOne Medicines, said:

 

“Just like soccer is defined by save after save, progress in cancer is built moment by moment – in the lab, in the clinic, and in the communities where patients and families face it every day. ‘One Save Changes Everything’ was created to recognize the researchers who pursue targets others may have overlooked, the clinicians who act under pressure, the caregivers who show up without recognition, and the patients whose resilience fuels it all. BeOne was built for those moments: to be ready, to move with urgency, and to make sure progress reaches patients wherever they are. That belief drives everything we do.”

 

 

A Personal Connection to Cancer

 

 

A global soccer legend, Howard’s 16 saves against Belgium in 2014 – the most in international soccer history – are more than a record. They are the literal expression of the One Save Changes Everything campaign’s central belief: that preparation, presence, and the refusal to yield, applied moment after moment, can change the outcome of the most consequential events.

 

 

Howard’s connection to the campaign runs deeper than the sport. When he was 11, his grandfather was diagnosed with cancer. The ordinary evenings that followed – shared dinners, quiet walks, simply being present – he now recognizes as some of these moments.

 

 

Former U.S. Men’s National Team goalkeeper Tim Howard said:

 

 

“The moments that matter most aren’t always the ones people see. When my grandfather was sick, what stuck with me was our family showing up for him – quietly, consistently, and when it counted. Watching them taught me that being present, prepared, and willing to act can change everything. Partnering with BeOne feels natural because that’s how they show up for patients: every day, around the world, when it counts.”

 

 

Additional international goalkeepers will be announced to support the campaign alongside Tim Howard, along with voices from the cancer community that reflect BeOne’s global footprint.

 

 

Turning Purpose into Action

 

 

True to BeOne’s belief that purpose must translate into action, One Save Changes Everything extends beyond storytelling through a partnership with the U.S. Soccer Foundation. BeOne will fund the installation of soccer mini-pitches, creating spaces for movement, connection, and moments of normalcy for families affected by cancer.

 

 

Ed Foster-Simeon, President & CEO, U.S. Soccer Foundation said:

 

 

“Soccer has a unique ability to bring joy and connection in the most difficult moments. Placing mini-pitches near cancer centers creates permanent, accessible spaces for the families who need them most. We’re proud to partner with BeOne to create meaningful places for families to play.”

 

 

BeOne Colleagues Join One Save Changes Everything

 

 

BeOne’s more than 12,000 colleagues spanning six continents are the engine behind the donation commitment. For every hour an employee volunteers to support their community during the campaign period, BeOne will convert those hours into charitable dollars toward the $300,000 total to support the U.S. Soccer Foundation and other nonprofit organizations across the world.

 

 

One Save Changes Everything launches around the world today. Learn more at BeOneSave.com.

DataArt — a global software engineering firm specializing in data, analytics, and AI — has grown its Bengaluru team to nearly 100 engineers and specialists, and is entering its fourth year staffing a growing portfolio of international projects. DataArt has taken a deliberate approach in India: build slowly, build well, and make every hire part of something with a longer horizon. That model is now producing results visible beyond Bengaluru.

 

A Team Built for Global Integration

 

Running a globally integrated engineering team from Bengaluru requires more than technical depth. From the outset, Sheetal Kale, Managing Director and Head of DataArt R&D India, focused on something less visible but equally critical: making cross-cultural collaboration function reliably in practice.

 

“The engineering quality was never the question,” said Kale. “What I focused on early was how people communicate across different working cultures, how expectations are set, and where friction tends to appear before it becomes a problem. Getting that right early is what makes global integration sustainable.”

 

Investing in the Professional Community

 

The same long-term thinking shapes how DataArt India approaches talent development. Rather than recruiting at volume, the company has run six IT schools since 2023 — covering QA, DevOps, JavaScript, .NET, and AI — drawing more than 2,000 participants from Bengaluru’s professional community.

 

Alongside the schools, DataArt’s AI Bootcamp focuses on applied AI through project-based work — the kind of practical grounding that most curricula in the field don’t yet provide. It is aimed specifically at early-career professionals entering a market where that gap is real.

 

Documenting India’s IT Heritage

 

In collaboration with CHRIST University, DataArt India is developing IT Museum – India — a digital archive documenting the people, companies, and decisions that built one of the world’s most consequential technology industries. The platform, accessible at itmuseum.christuniversity.in, pairs academic researchers with technology professionals to produce a structured record: company histories, founder accounts, and the technical milestones that defined each era of India’s IT development.

 

“India’s IT history deserves to be told on its own terms,” said Kale. “We wanted to contribute something that outlasts any single project.”

 

Inclusion Embedded from the Start

 

Diversity and inclusion at DataArt India was built into the culture from the beginning, not introduced later as policy. DataArt India collaborated with AI Kiran, a community that supports women entering & advancing in AI and tech roles, with a day session on “How to pivot and stay relevant in the AI times.” In March 2026, DataArt participated in the Women in Financial Services AI Hackathon in Bengaluru. Sheetal Kale was recognized by Analytics India Magazine for her work in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) and nominated for the Women in Tech® Global Awards.

 

Eugene Goland, CEO of DataArt, said: “The data and AI projects now coming to the Bengaluru team from financial services and other international clients reflect a strong engineering culture that Sheetal Kale and her team have built which operates as a fully integrated part of how DataArt delivers globally.”

This appointment also marks an important milestone in the Group’s history, as she becomes the first woman Chair of Chiesi.

 

 

“I take on this new role with a deep sense of accountability, and with the aim to reinforce our continuity and commitment to the values that have guided Chiesi through generations,” said Maria Paola Chiesi. “For us, science that cares means pursuing scientific innovation with responsibility for its impact on people, society and the environment. As ever, this principle underpins our identity as a Benefit Corporation and B Corp, and it makes sustainability an integral part of our business model, embedded in how we make decisions and create long-term value for patients, communities and future generations.”

 

 

This transition reflects the Board’s intention to maintain stability and coherence in governance, while continuing to align growth, innovation, and sustainability through a long-term, multigenerational perspective.
