The technology combines micro-scaled opto-semiconductor chips capable of 12V single-chip operation — as opposed to conventional 3V LEDs — with a high-voltage (HV) driver technology. This enables a reduction of more than 10% in the number of driver-related components used in hybrid and electric vehicles, while lowering power consumption by approximately 10%, contributing to cost reduction and simplification of automotive electrical systems. Seoul Semiconductor aims to leverage this global mass production rollout as a springboard to lead ‘HV Opto-Semiconductor’ as the next-generation standard technology in the hybrid and electric vehicle sectors, backed by its already-secured portfolio of hundreds of HV opto-semiconductor chip patents and more than 50 HV driver patents.

 

Seoul Semiconductor aims to leverage this global mass production rollout as a springboard to lead next-generation standard technology in the hybrid and electric vehicle sectors. The core of ‘HV Opto-Semiconductor’ technology is based on a Multi-Junction P-N structure within a single chip. Conventional 3V drive systems required voltage step-down conversion by a factor of 1/100 when applied to hybrid and electric vehicles equipped with 300V high-voltage batteries. By contrast, applying a 30V HV chip reduces the voltage conversion ratio to just 1/10, significantly cutting conversion losses.

 

 

Previously, bridging such large voltage differences required multiple conversion circuits and components, resulting in substantial power loss, heat generation, and design complexity. Seoul Semiconductor’s ‘HV Opto-Semiconductor’ technology minimizes the need for separate components, simplifying PCB design and reducing component count, while also lowering heat generation and improving durability. Compared to conventional 3V LEDs, it reduces driver costs by 20% and power consumption by 10%.

 

 

Matthew Fras, COO of North America Sales at Seoul Semiconductor, stated: “With global EV sales — including hybrids — set to surpass 20 million units this year, that number is expected to double to 40 million units in five years. As vehicles become more functionally advanced, the value of opto-semiconductors per vehicle is also projected to grow from $100 to $200, meaning the overall opto-semiconductor market will expand fourfold. We aim to significantly expand our market share through our ‘HV Opto-Semiconductor’ technology, with a goal of breaking into the global top 10 automotive brands by year-end, and we plan to elevate the automotive division to become the largest business unit within the Seoul Group this year.”

 

 

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), 1 in 4 (25%) new vehicles sold globally in 2025 will be hybrid or electric, with that share projected to more than double to over 2 in 5 by 2030. Global demand for automotive opto-semiconductors is also forecast to grow fourfold, driven by emerging functional requirements like stylish lighting and vehicle-to-vehicle communication (TrendForce).

BeOne Medicines Highlights Accelerating Solid Tumor Pipeline with New Data at ASCO 2026

Business Wire India

BeOne Medicines Ltd. (“BeOne”) (Nasdaq: ONC; HKEX: 06160; SSE: 688235), a global oncology company, today announced new data from its solid tumor pipeline being presented at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting (May 29–June 2, Chicago). These data underscore the significant acceleration across the Company’s high-priority breast, gynecologic and gastrointestinal (GI) cancer development programs.

 

Data from three differentiated BeOne pipeline assets will be presented, including:

 

 

  • CDK4 inhibitor (BGB-43395) (poster presentation): First disclosure of anti-tumor activity in first-line (1L) HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer.
  • B7-H4 ADC (BG‑C9074) (rapid oral presentation): Phase 1 dose-escalation and safety expansion data in advanced solid tumors.
  • GPC3x4-1BB (BGB-B2033)bispecific antibody (rapid oral presentation): First clinical data in advanced solid tumors, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common type of liver cancer.

 

Mark Lanasa, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer, Solid Tumors, BeOne Medicines, said: “2026 is an inflection year for BeOne’s solid tumor portfolio, marked by the encouraging data we are presenting at ASCO combined with upcoming readouts at other major congresses. These programs validate our strategy of pairing the right biology with the right modality, and support advancing several assets in different indications into pivotal trials in 2026.”

 

Selective CDK4 inhibitor shows promising efficacy and differentiated safety in first-line breast cancer (Poster Presentation: 180; June 1, 2026, 1:30 PM-4:30 PM CDT)
BeOne will present data about its highly selective CDK4 inhibitor, BGB-43395, in 1L HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer, in combination with letrozole, showing promising anti-tumor activity and a favorable safety profile, characterized by infrequent low-grade hematologic toxicities and manageable GI events, which were further mitigated when administered with food. Highlights include:

 

 

  • The 240 mg dose of BGB-43395 plus letrozole resulted in a confirmed overall response rate (ORR) of 68.4% (95% CI: 43.4–87.4) and unconfirmed ORR of 73.7% (95% CI: 48.8-90.9).
  • The 400 mg dose plus letrozole resulted in a confirmed ORR of 63.2% (95% CI: 38.4–83.7) and unconfirmed ORR of 73.7% (95% CI: 48.8-90.9).
  • Low levels of hematologic treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) with Grade ≥3 neutropenia reported in 5.3% of patients at the 240 mg dose level and 0% at 400 mg, as well as low frequency of fatigue and asthenia; supports profile and validates the molecule’s high selectivity for CDK4.
  • GI TRAEs were mitigated when administered with food, all of which were Grade 1.
  • Median study follow-up was 12.5 (range, 3.1-15.2) months, 12.4 (range, 8.0-15.0) months, and 10.8 (range, 3.2-12.9) months for the 240 mg, 400 mg, and 600 mg dose groups, respectively.

 

These compelling safety and efficacy findings support the rationale to initiate a global, randomized Phase 3 clinical trial with BGB-43395 in combination with letrozole in 1L HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer. The trial, KANDELA-302 (NCT07492641), will begin enrolling patients this month.

 

B7-H4 ADC demonstrates encouraging efficacy supporting advancement in ovarian cancer (Rapid Oral Abstract: 3013; June 2, 2026, 9:45-11:15 AM CDT)
Data at ASCO from BeOne’s B7‑H4-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), BG‑C9074, include results from Phase 1 dose‑escalation and safety‑expansion cohorts, demonstrating a combination of early efficacy signals and a favorable tolerability profile. Highlights include:

 

 

  • At doses under consideration for future development, confirmed ORR of 45.5% and unconfirmed ORR of 54.5% in ovarian cancer (OC), and 40.0% in triple-negative breast cancer, with median study follow-up of 6.6 (range, 0.3-20.8) months.
  • Anti-tumor activity demonstrated in OC regardless of B7-H4 expression level.
  • Treatment was generally well tolerated with low rates of discontinuation at <5%; 31.5% of patients experienced Grade ≥3 TRAEs, with no Grade ≥3 nausea at 6 mg/kg adjusted ideal body weight (AIBW) and 1.2% at 8 mg/kg AIBW. Grade ≥3 neutropenia rates were 14.8% at 6 mg/kg AIBW and 34.6% at 8 mg/kg AIBW.
  • AIBW-based dosing used in the ongoing phase 1 study of BG-C9074 effectively reduced pharmacokinetic variability compared with total body weight dosing, as presented in a separate abstract (Poster 166) at ASCO.

 

These results support continued advancement of the BG‑C9074 development program, with efforts focused on early‑line OC and additional B7‑H4-expressing tumor types.

 

Potential first-in-class GPC3x4-1BB bispecific demonstrates unprecedented anti-tumor activity in heavily pre-treated HCC patients (Rapid Oral Abstract: 3016; June 2, 2026, 9:45-11:15 AM CDT)
The first clinical data (Phase 1a) for BGB-B2033, a GPC3x4-1BB bispecific antibody, will be presented in a rapid oral session highlighting the first-in-class potential of this program in advanced solid tumors, including heavily pre-treated HCC. BGB-B2033 was rationally designed to target GPC3-expressing tumors, a protein commonly expressed in HCC, the sixth most prevalent cancer and third leading cause of cancer death worldwide,1 with five-year survival rates of only approximately 20%.2

 

 

Highlights include:

 

 

  • At doses ≥300 mg, confirmed ORR was 28.9% and unconfirmed ORR was 31.6%, with median study follow-up of 4.8 (range, 0.3-15.5) months.
  • Treatment was generally well tolerated across all dose levels (1-1000 mg every three weeks [Q3W], N = 61) with no significant dose-dependent increase in rates of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs):
    • 68.9% (42) of patients experienced TEAEs; of these:
      • 47.5% (29) were treatment related
      • 8.2% (5) of patients experienced Grade ≥3 TRAEs
      • 4.9% (3) were treatment-related serious adverse events
    • TEAE leading to treatment discontinuation occurred in 3.3% (2) of patients
    • Dose limiting toxicity occurred in 1.6% (1) of patients
  • TRAEs that occurred in >5% of patients were limited to increases in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), both occurring at Grade ≥3 in only 1.6% of patients.

Omdia: Online Video Subscription Reached 2.24 Billion in 2025 Ahead of Projected Slowdown in 2026

Business Wire India

Omdia’s latest TV & Video market data shows global online video subscriptions reached 2.24 billion at the end of 2025, up 17.6% year on year from 1.9 billion in 2024. However, growth is expected to slow to single digits in 2026 as the market enters a more mature phase. Meanwhile, global pay-TV subscriptions continued their gradual decline, falling 1.8% year on year to 1.03 billion. The balance of the global TV and video market continues to shift toward streaming, with online video accounting for 68.4% of the combined 3.3 billion subscriptions worldwide.

Global year-on-year increase in online video subscriptions, 2021-31

Global year-on-year increase in online video subscriptions, 2021-31

 

In terms of revenue, online video overtook pay-TV for the first time in 2025, Online video revenue increased 13.5% to $176 billion while pay TV revenue declined 4% to $170 billion. Both figures include subscription and transactional revenue but exclude advertising.

 

Omdia’s global data reflects a wide range of different trends taking place at the local level across the markets it tracks. A key common theme, however, is that new, lower cost, ad-supported tiers have been attracting new subscribers into the online video segment.

 

 

Adam Thomas, Practice Leader, Media, Entertainment & Advertising team, said: “The 17.6% increase in subscriptions in 2025 was the largest annual rise since 2021. That growth was driven, in particular, by subsidized ad-tier subscriptions offered by telcos and pay-TV operators. The popularity of these lower-cost offers is a key factor behind the fact that subscription numbers grew by 17.6%, while revenue increased by a more moderate 13.5%.”

 

 

Another clear trend across the sector is that online video platforms are changing their focus from growing subscriber numbers to maximizing revenue from their existing client base, often through price increases for their premium, non-ad-supported tiers. This trend is expected to remain prominent in the years ahead. While the 2025 figures show that discounted ad-tier pricing can attract significant numbers of cost-conscious subscribers into the online video ecosystem, this will be a short-term phenomenon. With several core online video markets approaching saturation Omdia believes the focus on price rises to maximize profits will result in slower subscription, forecasting 5.6% growth for full-year 2026.

 

 

Tony Gunnarsson, Senior Principal Analyst, TV & Online Video added: “It’s clear that the availability of attractively priced ad-tier options created a temporary uplift in SVOD subscriber numbers in 2025. However, this has not changed our longer-term forecast, which remains for low single-digit annual growth rates for the foreseeable future.”

Procore Redefines the Common Data Environment with Connected Data and Agentic AI

Business Wire India

 

  • Procore is the solution to fragmented data, helping ensure information integrity from approved design to handover
  • Connects the full project lifecycle in one trusted environment with a single source of truth across BIM, Documents, Quality, and Assets
  • Transforms BIM into a live execution workspace via BIM Model Manager, streaming models of any size directly to mobile devices to connect real-time project data with 3D coordination
  • Leverages Procore AI with embedded Datagrid capabilities to turn project data into an actionable foundation, powering agentic AI coworkers that can help automate construction workflows and execute work directly within the platform

 

Procore Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: PCOR), the leading global provider of construction management software, today announced the launch of its connected Common Data Environment (CDE)—a purpose-built CDE from the ground up on a single platform to unify and verify project data from approved design to handover, capturing evidence in the flow of work to help keep the digital record aligned with site reality. This trusted data foundation allows agentic AI to act across the full construction lifecycle.

 

In an industry where fragmented information continues to slow decision-making and contribute to costly delays, connected data is increasingly defining top-performing organizations. New research from Dodge Construction Network* found firms with optimized data practices achieve up to 23% higher productivity, manage 27.8% greater construction volume using the same resources, and reduce project delays by more than six days. Those firms also report up to 40% stronger overall performance, highlighting why a trusted data foundation is becoming essential for AI adoption, operational efficiency, and ultimately, better project execution.

 

 

Procore’s connected CDE directly addresses this challenge—transforming document storage into an active governance environment that connects the approved design to site execution across the full project lifecycle—all powered by AI. For European teams operating under ISO 19650 and the Building Safety Act, this connected record helps provide the defensible audit trail required to meet compliance obligations at every stage.

 

 

“While construction has made significant progress in digitizing workflows, many organizations still operate across disconnected systems and siloed project data,” said Lee Miles, General Manager, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at Procore. “The challenge is no longer simply moving from paper to digital, but ensuring information flows consistently across teams, processes and the full project lifecycle. As regulatory expectations rise, projects become more complex, and firms adopt AI, connected data is becoming a competitive advantage. Organizations are moving beyond simple document storage and toward trusted and connected information environments that help improve performance today and enable agentic AI to operate with confidence.”

 

 

Creating the Trusted Environment Required for Agentic AI

 

 

Procore’s CDE creates the foundation for AI to move beyond surfacing information and toward executing work.

 

 

The expanded Procore AI experience embeds Datagrid directly into Procore, introducing agentic AI coworkers designed to automate construction workflows and take action within the platform. Built to help eliminate administrative friction rather than replace professional judgment, this approach accelerates execution while project teams retain control, accountability, and final decision-making authority. These AI capabilities can reason across project context, understand relationships between workflows and data, and support execution in complex construction environments.

 

 

“We’re on track to reduce construction administration work with respect to RFI creation, response, and submittal review by 50%,” said Alain Waha, Chief Technology Officer of Buro Happold. “By embedding AI directly into project workflows, teams can spend less time navigating information and more time advancing the work.”

 

 

By connecting AI to structured project datasets—including BIM models, drawings, specifications, RFIs, submittals, and field activity—Procore AI gains a deeper understanding of both spatial and operational context. This enables teams to turn fragmented project information into immediate, actionable insights.

 

 

The Procore AI experience with Datagrid intelligence embedded directly into the platform can surface answers already contained within project records before new RFIs are created, identify discrepancies between approved designs and field execution, and accelerate issue resolution by connecting related workflows, documents, and historical project context. Tasks that previously required hours of manual searching and coordination can be completed in minutes, with transparent source attribution.

 

 

Unlike horizontal AI tools, Procore AI is purpose-built for construction and grounded in verified project data. When teams encounter coordination challenges, project risks, or emerging safety concerns, Procore AI does more than retrieve information—it helps identify root causes earlier, recommend next actions, and reduce the downstream impacts that drive delays, rework, and cost overruns.

 

 

Procore will be showcasing its new CDE and Procore AI offering at Digital Construction Week (stand D200) in London, June 3-4.

 

 

Market Availability

 

 

Developed specifically for European market requirements, Procore’s CDE will initially launch in the UK and Ireland before expanding across EMEA.

 

 

Procore has established a localized UK Data Zone, with a dedicated EU Data Zone planned for launch in fall 2026. The platform supports key industry standards, including ISO 19650 and the Building Safety Act–with Cyber Essentials certification targeted for year end.

 

 

*Dodge-Procore Research Methodology

 

 

The ‘Quantifying The Value Of Construction Management Software’ study was conducted in 2025 to investigate the return on investment that clients and contractors experience from their use of construction management software. An online survey was used to gather the responses of contractors and clients on whether they experienced 62 specific benefits from their use of the software. Nearly half (45%) of the 62 benefits included a follow-up question on quantifiable outcomes or more detailed findings.

 

 

The survey was fielded by Dodge Construction Network. Procore also invited its users to participate. The findings include users of 11 different brands of construction management software. 688 responses were received from construction management software users in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
