NICOSIA, Cyprus, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Xryma Plc (formerly ISX Financial EU Plc), a leading provider of regulated transactional banking, real-time payment solutions and banking SaaS, today released its 2025 Annual Report, outlining the Group’s financial performance, strategic direction, and key operational achievements during the year. 

The 2025 financial year marked Xryma Plc’s (Xryma) seventh consecutive year of profitability, reflecting the resilience of its business model, disciplined execution, while reinforcing its position at the forefront of the banktech and payments sector. 

2025 Financial Highlights 

Christakis Taoushanis, Non-Executive Chairman of Xryma Plc, said:”On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present the Xryma Plc 2025 Annual Report. 2025 marked Xryma’s seventh consecutive year of profitability and further demonstrated the strength of the Group’s business model, the disciplined execution of its strategy, and the calibre of its people. As a regulated institution operating in an evolving financial environment, the Board remains focused on strong governance, prudent risk management, rigorous compliance, and operational resilience.” 

Nikogiannis (John) Karantzis, Group Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Xryma Plc, said:”Building on the strong momentum of 2024, financial year 2025 was defined by infrastructure expansion and strategic execution. I would like to thank our teams for their continued dedication to our customers and for maintaining strong commercial momentum throughout the year. 

Our focus remains on delivering customer-centric solutions across the business. By combining technological capability, regulatory expertise, focused infrastructure investment, and discipline to facilitate scaling, we continue to support our customers in achieving their commercial and operational objectives.” 

In 2025, Xryma advanced its payments infrastructure by becoming one of the first non-bank institutions to be granted access to the European Central Bank’s T2 Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) and TARGET Instant Payment Settlement (TIPS) infrastructure. This enhances Xryma’s existing UK Faster Payments and EEA SEPA instant payments capabilities, enabling the direct transferring of central bank money across key financial markets. 

The Group also maintained its leading position in Account-to-Account (A2A) payments through PaidBy®, its flagship Open Banking platform. Leveraging instant and faster payments, central bank connectivity, patented intellectual property, and proprietary technology, PaidBy® provides a strong alternative to traditional remote card-based payments through instant settlement, enhanced security, and seamless integration. 

During the year, Xryma progressed the development of true cross-border A2A capabilities. From Q2 2026, this is expected to enable next-business-day settlement in more than 60 currencies, initiated from A2A payments in Euros or Pounds Sterling. Completion of TIPS integration is expected to extend these capabilities further to allow for initiation from the TIPS participating Scandinavian currencies. 

The Group invested approximately €3 million in research and development during 2025, strengthening its intellectual property portfolio and enhancing its proprietary systems, including flykk®, ISXMoney®, ISXPay®, and Paydentity®. Xryma’s software subsidiary, Probanx, continues to play a critical role in product development, deployment and system enhancement whilst contributing to revenue growth. 

Xryma also made progress in addressing preparatory requirements related to the planned admission of its shares to trading on a Preferred Exchange, which remains a key strategic priority. 

In line with broader strategic objectives, the Group increased its investment in BeEmotion AI SA and successfully exited its long-term equity position in the National Stock Exchange of Australia (NSX) via the sale of its stake through a scheme of arrangement for NSX’s 100% takeover by CNSX Global Markets Inc., the parent of the Canadian Securities Exchange. 

Beyond financial performance, Xryma continued to support environmental and social programmes through its We Care initiative and elite athletes and sporting organisations through its Dream Big initiative, reflecting its belief that long-term corporate success is closely linked to the wellbeing of the communities in which it operates. 

Commenting on the outlook for 2026, Nikogiannis (John) Karantzis added:”As we look to 2026, our focus remains clear: preparation for scaling, investing in next-generation capabilities, seeking further regulatory permissions, and enabling broader currency interoperability with faster settlement cycles. Following the launch of our RTGS and TIPS services, we expect 2026 to be characterised by continued profitability and the introduction of new products. New product releases will be our short-term focus to facilitate growth post the planned admission to list. We remain mindful of potential turbulence arising from regional conflicts and global market conditions, however, we believe the Group is well-positioned to continue executing against its strategic priorities.”

In the news release, ieGeek Introduces AOV Technology for Wire-Free Security Cameras, Enabling 24/7 Smart Recording Without Hardwiring, issued 24-Apr-2026 by ieGeek over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that the first paragraph, first sentence, should read “ieGeek’s AOV (Always-on Video) technology enables wire-free security cameras to achieve 24/7 smart recording. Compared to traditional wireless PIR cameras, it reduces wake-up delays, ensuring that key moments are captured without missing critical events.” rather than “ieGeek’s AOV（Always-on video） technology enables wire-free security cameras to achieve 24/7 smart recording without the wake-up delays and missed events associated with traditional PIR-based systems.” as originally issued inadvertently. The complete, corrected release follows:  

LONDON, April 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ieGeek’s AOV（Always-on video） technology enables wire-free security cameras to achieve 24/7 smart recording. Compared to traditional wireless PIR cameras, it reduces wake-up delays, ensuring that key moments are captured without missing critical events. The ieGeek S7 brings this capability together with high-capacity battery life, AI-powered human tracking, and extended detection range.  

AOV Technology Expands Capabilities of Wire-Free Cameras 

Home security setups have traditionally required users to choose between two approaches: 

ieGeek’s AOV technology bridges this gap, delivering the non-stop recording of a wired camera while maintaining the mount-anywhere convenience of a battery-powered design. 

How AOV Works 

The ieGeek S7 maintains continuous awareness with a low-frame-rate mode—by default, capturing one frame every two seconds to reduce redundant footage by roughly 90%, preserving battery life and storage. When human movement is detected, it switches to a stream of up to 25fps within 50 milliseconds. 

AI-Powered Human Auto-Tracking 

The ieGeek S7 features an advanced AI human detection algorithm. Once human movement is detected, the auto-tracking function activates immediately. With 355° pan and 120° tilt, the camera automatically follows the target’s movements—so you never have to adjust the lens manually again. 

Extended Detection Range 

Typical PIR sensors detect heat signatures up to about 10 meters, with accuracy limited by distance and ambient temperature. 

The S7’s AOV visual sensor uses AI-powered image recognition to clearly detect people and vehicles up to 30 meters, while using image algorithms to filter out irrelevant motion—effectively reducing false alarms. 

Extended Battery Life 

The ieGeek S7 is equipped with a 9000mAh high-capacity battery and can be paired with a solar panel for continuous power. The combination of AOV’s low-power architecture and high-capacity battery significantly extends runtime between charges. 

Redefining What a Wire-Free Camera Can Deliver 

“We set out to eliminate the recording reliability concerns that have long been a trade-off in wire-free cameras,” said Product Director at ieGeek. “With AOV technology and a focus on battery life and detection performance, we believe continuous protection and wireless flexibility are no longer mutually exclusive.” 

The ieGeek S7 is available to buy now at Amazon.

S.Pellegrino pone al centro della sua nuova campagna globale il concetto di “connessione significativa”, trasformando la sua bottiglia iconica in una serie di domande stimolanti, che prendono vita attraverso la conversazione spontanea di Lewis Hamilton con i suoi amici di una vita 

MILANO, 30 aprile 2026 /PRNewswire/ — S.Pellegrino®, l’iconica acqua minerale frizzante italiana di alta qualità, ha annunciato oggi il lancio della sua nuova campagna globale  “Dinner Dialogues”, con protagonista il leggendario pilota Lewis Hamilton. S.Pellegrino è un brand da sempre associato alla tavola e a tutte le esperienze di vita significative e memorabili che si svolgono intorno ad essa. Per questa nuova campagna, S.Pellegrino ha trasformato la sua iconica etichetta in una serie di domande stimolanti che accendono le conversazioni, le connessioni e le esperienze condivise, incoraggiando tutti a portare il meglio di sé a tavola. 

Per visualizzare il comunicato stampa multimediale, fare clic qui:https://www.multivu.com/s_pellegrino/9395751-en-dinner-dialogues-lewis-hamilton-and-friends-bring-to-the-table  

Al centro dell’iniziativa “Dinner Dialogues” c’è una cena memorabile che riunisce Lewis Hamilton e tre dei suoi amici di una vita. Ricca di storie condivise e momenti di connessione, ispirati dalle domande poste dal brand. 

“Mi è sempre piaciuto trascorrere del tempo a tavola con i miei amici e la mia famiglia, ma con i miei impegni non è facile trovarlo con la frequenza che vorrei. Il tempo vola, quindi è stato davvero speciale sedersi con S.Pellegrino e alcuni dei miei amici più cari e lasciare che la conversazione fluisse liberamente”, ha detto Hamilton. “Ci siamo ritrovati grazie ai ricordi condivisi e, lungo il percorso, abbiamo persino scoperto alcune cose nuove gli uni degli altri. Ci ricorda quanto possa essere bello stare insieme, chiacchierare in modo aperto e sincero, e che stringere dei legami è qualcosa a cui tutti dovremmo dare priorità”. 

“Non esiste luogo più autentico della tavola: sedersi accanto alle persone che ami, gustarsi un pasto delizioso e lasciar emergere la parte più vera di sé. Questo è il vero principio guida del brand  S.Pellegrino e sono entusiasta di vederlo prendere vita con Lewis Hamilton e i suoi tre amici di una vita in “Dinner Dialogues”, ha dichiarato Elisa Gregori, Global Chief Growth Officer di Nestlé Waters & Premium Beverages. “Creare questa esperienza con Lewis è un’incredibile opportunità per estendere la nostra passione nel riunire le persone, per entrare in contatto in modo più significativo con i consumatori di tutto il mondo e per mostrare come S.Pellegrino migliori e trasformi l’esperienza a tavola”.  

“Dinner Dialogues” è un accattivante cortometraggio in cui Lewis Hamilton intrattiene una conversazione spontanea con i suoi più cari amici d’infanzia. Stimolati dalle stesse domande riportate sulle  bottiglie  di S.Pellegrino – come “quale sogno coltivi ancora?” – i loro scambi spontanei, le rivelazioni personali e le storie mai raccontate prima dimostrano che S.Pellegrino ha il potere di far emergere il meglio di noi e delle nostre relazioni, ispirando il pubblico globale a vivere esperienze più profonde e significative a tavola. 

Il filmato realizzato per la campagna è stato diretto dalla pluripremiata regista Lana Wilson (prodotto da Capisco & Washington Square Films) e sviluppato dall’agenzia creativa globale Ogilvy. Lana Wilson: “Per me, una buona domanda riesce a superare il rumore di fondo. Può portarci oltre le chiacchiere di circostanza e farci entrare in qualcosa di autentico: storie, ricordi, conversazioni che rimarranno con te per sempre. È lì che inizia davvero la connessione. Questo è ciò che voglio che le persone provino guardando il cortometraggio”. 

Guarda il filmato completo “Dinner Dialogues” qui: https://youtu.be/xR7RNMTd7wI   

S.Pellegrino ospiterà anche una serie di esperienze immersive dal vivo di “Dinner Dialogues”, durante il weekend del Gran Premio di Miami. Queste esperienze gastronomiche, pensate per riunire le persone intorno a un tavolo in un’atmosfera intima, si svolgeranno in un ambiente fronte mare appositamente allestito, prima di spostarsi a Silverstone nel mese di Luglio. S.Pellegrino continuerà a portare il meglio di sé a tavola in occasione dei principali eventi culturali ed esperienze legate al brand nel corso dell’anno, tra cui il Festival di Cannes e gli eventi della S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy Competition.

LUCCA – Incendio sul monte Faeta continua a mettere sotto pressione il sistema regionale antincendio, con una notte particolarmente complessa tra il 29 e il 30 aprile. Il rogo, divampato nel pomeriggio di martedì 28 aprile sul versante lucchese del monte, resta attivo e in evoluzione, alimentato dalle condizioni meteo avverse.

Il forte vento ha modificato improvvisamente il comportamento delle fiamme. Le raffiche hanno infatti invertito la direzione del fronte, spingendolo a tornare indietro e ad allargarsi sui fianchi del rilievo. Una dinamica che ha costretto le squadre impegnate sul campo a continui spostamenti e a ridefinire le strategie di contenimento nel corso della notte.

Attualmente sono operative 19 squadre di volontari dell’antincendio boschivo, coordinate dal direttore delle operazioni, con il supporto dei vigili del fuoco e del personale tecnico AIB. Il dispositivo complessivo mobilitato dall’inizio dell’emergenza conta circa 70 squadre, che si sono alternate nei vari turni per fronteggiare il rogo e presidiare le aree più esposte.

Un ruolo fondamentale lo stanno svolgendo i mezzi aerei. Fin dalle prime ore del mattino sono entrati in azione due canadair, mentre un terzo velivolo è stato inviato per rafforzare le operazioni. I lanci d’acqua risultano decisivi soprattutto nelle zone più impervie del monte, difficilmente raggiungibili via terra.

La priorità resta la protezione delle aree abitate e il contenimento dell’estensione del fuoco. Il vento, ancora sostenuto, rappresenta il principale fattore di rischio, poiché può favorire nuovi cambiamenti nella direzione dell’incendio e accelerarne la propagazione.

Secondo quanto riportato dal sistema regionale antincendio boschivo (consultabile anche sul sito ufficiale della Regione Toscana), il monitoraggio dell’area prosegue senza interruzioni, con un costante aggiornamento delle condizioni operative.

Le autorità invitano la popolazione a evitare la zona interessata dall’incendio del Monte Faeta e a non intralciare i mezzi di soccorso, per consentire agli operatori di intervenire in sicurezza. Le operazioni continueranno anche nelle prossime ore, con l’obiettivo di stabilizzare il fronte e ridurre il rischio per il territorio.

REDAZIONE

GWACHEON, South Korea, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Park Systems Corp., the world’s leading provider of atomic force microscopy (AFM) solutions, today announced the launch of the NX1 — a compact, high-performance AFM that delivers atomic resolution imaging in ambient conditions. Developed in collaboration with Prof. Franz J. Giessibl of the University of Regensburg, one of the world’s foremost authorities on atomic resolution AFM, the NX1 brings a class of imaging performance previously confined to ultra-high vacuum environments into the reach of research labs worldwide. 

The NX1 is based on Orpheus II, a prototype developed by Prof. Giessibl’s group at Regensburg that demonstrated atomic resolution imaging in ambient conditions was achievable. Park Systems engineered that concept into a fully realized commercial product — combining the Orpheus II’s proven core architecture, including a Kovar body for exceptional thermal stability, with Park Systems’ precision manufacturing, product reliability, and global AFM engineering expertise. The result is an instrument that achieves a noise floor about an order of magnitude lower than conventional AFM systems, making atomic-scale imaging accessible in everyday laboratory settings. 

“The NX1 is the result of combining Prof. Giessibl’s pioneering research with Park Systems’ proven ability to bring the world’s most advanced science to market,” said Dr. Sang‑Joon Cho, Executive Vice President and Head of the Research Equipment Business Unit at Park Systems. “Together, we have created something that neither side could have achieved alone: a truly reliable, supportable, and accessible instrument for researchers worldwide. This is the kind of platform that creates and shapes new markets.” 

Designed for both performance and everyday usability, the NX1 supports standard silicon cantilevers as well as an optional qPlus (quartz tuning fork) sensor — enabling picometer-scale oscillation amplitudes and the high sensitivity to short-range forces. Probe exchange is simplified through a pre-aligned kinematic chip carrier system, and an integrated on-axis optical microscope provides a direct view of the probe and sample throughout operation. The system is fully compatible with Park Systems’ SmartScan™ operating software and SmartAnalysis™ image analysis platform. 

“Orpheus II proved the concept, but it was a research instrument — for experts only,” said Prof. Franz J. Giessibl, University of Regensburg. “The expertise of Park Systems was essential to make this into a reliable product that the broader research community can use. The NX1 is what the idea always had the potential to become.” 

The NX1 is now available for order. For technical specifications and application data, visit https://www.parksystems.com/en/products/research-afm/small-sample-afm/nx1 .

At the heart of the Dinner Dialogues activation is a memorable dinner that reunites Lewis Hamilton and 3 of his lifelong friends. Full of shared stories and moments of connection, inspired by the questions posed by the brand. 

“I’ve always loved spending time around the table with my friends and family, but with my schedule, it’s not easy to find the time as often as I’d like. Time passes so quickly, so to sit down with S.Pellegrino and some of my oldest friends and just let the conversation flow was really special,” said Hamilton. “We reconnected over shared memories and even discovered a few new things about each other along the way. It’s a reminder of how great it can be to get together, to chat openly and honestly, and that finding connections is something we should all prioritise.” 

“There is no place more genuine than the table – taking a seat alongside people you love, settling into an amazing meal, and sharing your most authentic selves. That’s S.Pellegrino’s truest brand belief, and I’m thrilled to see it come to life with Lewis Hamilton and his three lifelong friends in ‘Dinner Dialogues’,” said Elisa Gregori, Global Chief Growth Officer, Nestlé Waters and Premium Beverages. “Creating this experience with Lewis is an incredible opportunity to extend our passion for bringing people together, to connect more meaningfully with consumers around the world, and to show how S.Pellegrino elevates and transforms the experience at the table.”  

‘Dinner Dialogues’ is a captivating short documentary film of Lewis Hamilton engaging in an unscripted conversation with his closest childhood friends. Prompted by the very questions found on S.Pellegrino’s new special edition bottles—like “what dream have you quietly kept alive”—their spontaneous exchanges, personal revelations, and never-before-heard stories show the power of S.Pellegrino to bring out the best in us and our connections, and inspire global audiences to engage in deeper, more meaningful experiences at the table. 

The campaign film was directed by award-winning filmmaker Lana Wilson (produced by Capisco & Washington Square films) and developed by global creative agency Ogilvy. Lana Wilson: “For me, a great question cuts through the noise. It can move us past small talk and into something real – stories, memories, conversations that will stay with you forever. That’s where connection really starts. That’s what I want people to experience from the film.” 

Watch the full ‘Dinner Dialogues’ film here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoyvKfzfIak
 

S.Pellegrino will also host a series of real life, immersive ‘Dinner Dialogue’ experiences during the Miami Grand Prix weekend. The intimate dining experiences designed to bring people together around the table will take place in a specially crafted beachfront setting before moving on to Silverstone in July. S.Pellegrino will continue bringing its best to the table across major cultural events and branded experiences throughout the year, including at the Cannes Film Festival and S.Pellegrino’s Young Chef Academy Competition events. 

Consumers across global markets will also be able to participate in their own authentic ‘Dinner Dialogues’ experience by purchasing the limited edition S.Pellegrino bottles around the world across the rest of 2026.

MANILA, Philippines, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Philippines is drawing global attention once again as Camiguin Island, the only Philippine destination listed in the New York Times’ “52 Places to Go in 2026”, captures the imagination of travelers seeking serenity, adventure, and authentic local experiences. Praised for its “zero traffic lights” charm, the island promises a rare combination of unspoiled natural beauty and easy accessibility. 

With the near-completion of a major widening project along its 64-km coastal highway, travelers can move seamlessly between the island’s volcanic peaks, pristine sandbars, and hidden waterfalls. Direct flights from Cebu to Camiguin take roughly 1 hour, while connecting ferries from Cagayan de Oro offer an alternative scenic route of approximately 2 hours. These travel options make the island a convenient choice for short-haul leisure trips of 4–7 days. 

A Paradise Defined by Nature and Adventure 

Camiguin’s landscapes offer an extraordinary blend of adventure and relaxation, where every corner reveals a new facet of the island’s natural beauty. Travelers can hike the lush trails of Mount Hibok-Hibok, an active volcano that rewards trekkers with sweeping panoramic views. Just offshore, the Sunken Cemetery, accessible by a short boat ride, provides a serene spot to watch the sun dip below the horizon, creating a postcard-perfect sunset. For those seeking pristine beaches, White Island sandbar stretches invitingly, its powdery white sands ideal for swimming, sunbathing, or snorkeling. Inland, the cascading waters of Katibawasan and Tuasan Falls, nestled within dense forest, offer peaceful immersion and prime opportunities for eco-photography. 

Beyond its natural wonders, Camiguin is alive with culture and community. Residents maintain close ties to the land and sea, running small-scale coconut farms and fishing operations, and welcoming visitors to experience the rhythms of island life. The vibrant San Juan sa Hibok-Hibok Festival further celebrates this heritage, bringing together culinary traditions, music, and cultural performances in a colorful annual event that captures the spirit of Camiguin. Here, nature and culture coexist harmoniously, inviting travelers to explore, relax, and connect deeply with the island’s authentic charm. 

Culinary and Cultural Highlights 

While small in size, Camiguin delivers memorable gastronomic experiences that reflect the island’s rich cultural and agricultural heritage. Local seafood, including freshly caught tuna and prawns, features prominently in island kitchens, while seasonal vegetables and native herbs like tanglad (lemongrass) are thoughtfully incorporated into traditional dishes such as surol, a native chicken dish famously prepared in the island. Visitors can also savor pastel de Camiguin, a soft sweet bun filled with custard, as well as seasonal fruits such as lanzones, which are celebrated annually during the Lanzones Festival — a vibrant celebration of the island’s harvest featuring street parades, colorful costumes, and local delicacies. 

Community-based experiences further enrich a visit to Camiguin, allowing travelers to join local artisans in weaving, pottery, or farming activities. These immersive encounters offer a deeper understanding of island life, foster meaningful connections with residents, and contribute to sustainable tourism practices that preserve Camiguin’s heritage and natural resources. 

Camiguin’s appeal lies not only in its natural wonders and rich heritage, but also in its ease of travel, making it an ideal destination for both international tourists and domestic travelers. The blend of adventure, wellness, and community engagement ensures a holistic travel experience especially for travelers seeking nature-centric trips and transformative experiences.

MINUCCIANO  – Un uomo di 50 anni è stato arrestato con oltre un chilo di marijuana in Garfagnana al termine di un’operazione condotta dai carabinieri della compagnia di Castelnuovo di Garfagnana. Il provvedimento riguarda un residente nell’Alta Garfagnana, finito al centro di un’attività investigativa avviata da tempo dai militari della Stazione di Gramolazzo.

Le indagini hanno portato alla raccolta di elementi ritenuti significativi, che hanno consentito agli investigatori di ottenere un decreto di perquisizione da parte dell’Autorità giudiziaria. L’operazione si è svolta con il supporto dei carabinieri delle Stazioni di Gramolazzo e Piazza al Serchio.

Durante la perquisizione domiciliare, i militari hanno rinvenuto e sequestrato oltre un chilo di marijuana, insieme a un bilancino di precisione e al materiale necessario per il confezionamento delle dosi. Gli inquirenti ritengono che la sostanza fosse destinata al mercato locale dell’Alta Garfagnana, ipotizzando quindi un’attività di spaccio sul territorio.

Determinante per il ritrovamento è stato il contributo di un’unità cinofila proveniente dal nucleo dei carabinieri di San Rossore, intervenuta per supportare le operazioni. Il fiuto del cane antidroga ha consentito di individuare con precisione la sostanza stupefacente all’interno dell’abitazione.

Al termine delle attività, l’uomo è stato accompagnato in caserma e dichiarato in stato di arresto. Dopo le formalità di rito, è stato messo a disposizione dell’Autorità giudiziaria. In sede processuale, il 52enne ha patteggiato una pena di un anno e quattro mesi di reclusione e una multa di 4mila euro, ottenendo la sospensione condizionale della pena.

CDP runs one of the world’s leading environmental disclosure systems for companies. Its assessments are widely referenced by investors, regulators, and customers in evaluating ESG performance and supply chain standards. Of the more than 22,100 companies assessed in CDP’s 2025 Climate Change reporting cycle, just 10% achieved an A- rating or higher. AESC’s A- rating reflects the company’s robust and transparent carbon management framework, as well as its continued progress in battery decarbonization. 

AESC embeds emissions reduction targets into business decision-making and day-to-day global operations. The company has built strong capabilities in carbon footprint management, renewable energy adoption, and industrial decarbonization. 

For carbon footprint management, AESC aligns its global operations with the EU Battery Regulation and other international compliance requirements. The company has established a systematic carbon footprint management framework, developed an enterprise-wide emissions factor database based on internationally recognized methodologies, and worked with upstream suppliers to strengthen carbon data modeling and management. 

In renewable energy and decarbonization, AESC has achieved several industry milestones. In 2022, it became the world’s first battery manufacturer to achieve carbon neutrality across its global operations (Scope 1 and 2), verified by the Carbon Trust, and launched the industry’s first carbon-neutral EV battery in 2022 and carbon-neutral energy storage battery in 2023. Across its global manufacturing network, AESC continues to optimize operations to reduce energy use and lower carbon emissions through a wide range of on-site energy-saving upgrades, including temperature and humidity control upgrades, smart sensor installations on production lines, and leftover heat and water reuse to cut energy waste. At the same time, the company works closely with key suppliers to advance emissions reduction across the value chain. 

Through these efforts, AESC has developed a practical and scalable decarbonization pathway for the global lithium battery industry. The CDP A- rating further strengthens AESC’s position as a sustainability leader as it works with customers and partners worldwide to support a more sustainable battery ecosystem.

Milano, 30 aprile 2026 – Inprimepay accelera la propria espansione europea e annuncia l’ingresso operativo nei mercati di Svizzera, Austria e Germania, dopo aver superato la soglia dei 6.000 merchant attivi in Italia. Una crescita che consolida la posizione dell’azienda nel comparto della payment orchestration e che ora si traduce in una strategia di internazionalizzazione mirata su tre delle economie più solide e digitalmente mature dell’Europa continentale. 

L’azienda, specializzata nell’orchestrazione dei pagamenti per il retail fisico e omnicanale, punta a replicare oltreconfine il modello già consolidato sul mercato domestico: un’infrastruttura unica che integra pagamenti digitali, soluzioni rateali (BNPL) e incasso immediato per gli esercenti, in una logica di piena interoperabilità tra canali fisici e digitali. Un approccio che risponde a una delle esigenze più sentite dai retailer europei, ovvero la possibilità di governare in modo centralizzato flussi di incasso sempre più frammentati tra POS, e-commerce, link di pagamento e wallet digitali. 

Per sostenere la penetrazione nei nuovi mercati, Inprimepay introduce una leva commerciale particolarmente aggressiva: nessuna fee di ingresso per i merchant, con l’obiettivo di abbattere le barriere all’adozione e accelerare la diffusione della piattaforma. Una scelta che si inserisce nella filosofia di trasparenza dei costi che ha caratterizzato il brand fin dal lancio sul mercato italiano, dove l’assenza di canoni fissi nascosti ha rappresentato uno dei principali driver di acquisizione nel segmento delle piccole e medie imprese. 

A supporto dell’espansione, è già disponibile sul Google Play Store e sull’Apple App Store l’app gestionale ufficiale di Inprimepay, progettata per operare in modalità multilingua e multi-valuta. Lo strumento consente agli esercenti di gestire incassi, transazioni e riconciliazioni da un’unica interfaccia, con un’esperienza utente pensata per ridurre al minimo la curva di apprendimento e per integrarsi con i principali software gestionali già in uso negli esercizi commerciali. 

«Stiamo entrando in mercati maturi con un approccio molto chiaro: semplificazione, velocità di attivazione e zero costi iniziali per il merchant», ha dichiarato Gennaro Scotto di Carlo, CEO e fondatore di Inprimepay. «I retailer di Germania, Austria e Svizzera operano in contesti tecnologicamente avanzati, ma chiedono strumenti che riducano la complessità operativa, non che la aumentino. Il nostro obiettivo è diventare lo standard europeo per l’orchestrazione dei pagamenti in negozio e omnicanale, offrendo un’unica piattaforma capace di unire incassi fisici, e-commerce, soluzioni rateali e riconciliazione automatica nel pieno rispetto degli standard PSD2 e PCI-DSS». 

Il modello Inprimepay consente ai retailer di offrire ai propri clienti pagamenti tramite QR code e Pay by Link, con accesso integrato a carte, bonifici e soluzioni rateali, mantenendo un’esperienza fluida lato utente e l’incasso immediato lato merchant. Una combinazione che, secondo i dati raccolti sui clienti italiani, ha contribuito ad aumentare in modo misurabile sia il tasso di conversione al checkout sia lo scontrino medio, due indicatori centrali per la marginalità del retail moderno. 

L’espansione nei Paesi DACH e in Svizzera rappresenta un passaggio strategico in un contesto europeo sempre più orientato a soluzioni flessibili, integrate e conformi ai più stringenti standard normativi. La domanda di piattaforme in grado di unire performance commerciale e robustezza infrastrutturale è in costante crescita, e Inprimepay si propone come interlocutore unico per quei retailer che intendono governare la complessità dei pagamenti senza rinunciare alla velocità di esecuzione.
