Kinaxis Named a Leader in Five 2026 IDC MarketScapes for Worldwide Supply Chain Planning

  OTTAWA, Ontario - Friday, 13. November 2026 AETOSWire 

Maestro delivers concurrent planning on a single platform across discrete, process, consumer packaged goods and life sciences

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Kinaxis® Inc. (TSX:KXS), a global leader in end-to-end supply chain planning and orchestration, today announced it has been named a Leader in five 2026 IDC MarketScape vendor assessments for worldwide supply chain planning. The recognition spans the overall market and four industries - discrete industries, process industries, consumer packaged goods and life sciences industries - all served by a single platform, Kinaxis Maestro®, the company's AI-powered supply chain orchestration platform.

"Supply chain leaders don't need a better forecast once a month. They need to know what changed this morning, what it means across the business, and what to do about it," said Andrew Bell, Chief Product Officer of Kinaxis. "I believe being named a Leader across five IDC MarketScape vendor assessments, in industries that plan in very different ways, shows that a single concurrent platform is the right foundation for that. Operational orchestration builds on it by connecting planning, decisions and executions so organizations can act with confidence as conditions change."

The IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Supply Chain Planning Overall states that “Kinaxis' architectural claim is concurrency.” Kinaxis was positioned as a Leader in:

IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Supply Chain Planning Overall 2026 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US54139326, November 2026)

IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Supply Chain Planning for Discrete Industries 2026 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US54138326, October 2026)

IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Supply Chain Planning for Process Industries 2026 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US54138926, November 2026)

IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Supply Chain Planning for Consumer-Packaged Goods 2026 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US54138126, October 2026)

IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Supply Chain Planning for Life Sciences Industries 2026 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US54138726, October 2026)

“Supply chains are changing faster than traditional planning cycles can keep up. Kinaxis’ concurrent approach enables organizations to evaluate multiple scenarios against a single live model and understand the broader impact of change before making a decision. Kinaxis’ move toward operational orchestration is a logical extension of that foundation, helping connect decisions across functions as conditions evolve,” said Eric Thompson, Research Director, Supply Chain Planning, IDC.

The recognition comes as supply chain leaders place greater emphasis on end-to-end orchestration. According to IDC's 2026 Worldwide Supply Chain Survey, “the persistent gap identified by supply chain practitioners has shifted. Where prior years pointed to a broad lack of digital competencies, the main barrier to responsiveness is now a lack of systems integration, which rose 14.6 percentage points year over year to become the top blocker.” Improving supply chain agility and responsiveness (32%) and supply chain visibility (31%) were also the two most-cited steps organizations are taking to mitigate risk.

“The real test for me is whether planning makes the operation easier to run," said Colton D Porter, Director, Supply Chain Digital Solutions at MillerKnoll. "With Maestro, we’re making better use of the capacity we have, putting less effort into maintaining the plan, and improving delivery. That frees up the team to focus on exceptions, trade-offs, and decisions instead of constantly trying to keep the plan together.”

This broader shift toward orchestration is reflected in how organizations use Maestro today. Kinaxis customers increased global scenario planning activity in Maestro by 29% year-over-year in Q3 2026, reflecting more frequent use of the platform to evaluate changing conditions. Customers also manage more than 700 million parts and plan inventory representing more than $350 billion in annual value, helping teams understand the impact of change, evaluate trade-offs and make more informed decisions across complex global supply chains.

WHOOP Launches WHOOP Humans, the Most Verifiably Human Social Network

 BOSTON - Friday, 13. November 2026 AETOSWire Print 

New feature lets members follow friends and family, share performance and health insights, and celebrate life's moments together

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- WHOOP, the human performance brand, today launched WHOOP Humans, a new feature that lets members follow friends and family, share fitness, health, and performance data they choose, and support each other's progress.

For more than a decade, WHOOP has helped members better understand their own health and performance. Now, WHOOP Humans extends that experience beyond the individual, making it easier to celebrate achievements, encourage progress, and look out for the people who matter most.

"In a world that's becoming increasingly artificial, we're building something deeply human,” said Will Ahmed, Founder and CEO of WHOOP. “This is the most verifiably human network ever launched. Every account represents a real person with a verified heartbeat. They have real goals, challenges, and achievements. That's what makes WHOOP Humans different, and it’s a big area of investment for us."

THE MOST VERIFIABLY HUMAN NETWORK EVER

As legacy social media platforms become increasingly saturated with artificial intelligence, automated accounts and bots, and manufactured content, WHOOP Humans offers a fundamentally different approach to connection: a network that is entirely human.

While traditional social networks are increasingly filled with artificial content, WHOOP Humans connects people through something real: their health, performance, and everyday experiences. Members can share WHOOP data, including Sleep, Recovery, Strain, activities, and achievements, choosing what they want others to see, creating opportunities for authentic connection rooted in real experiences rather than curated online personas. In all cases, the underlying physiological data comes from a wearable device, creating a foundation of real-world information that cannot simply be generated as a conventional text post. This makes WHOOP Humans a distinctly human-centered network, designed to prioritize genuine progress and connection.

For WHOOP member Mika Bublitz, WHOOP Humans is about more than following friends' progress. It's about knowing when someone might need a little extra support.

"Sometimes people don't tell you when they're not feeling their best. If I see a friend's Recovery is low, I can check in and say, 'Hey, it's okay to take it easy today.' That's what I like about WHOOP Humans. It gives us another way to look out for each other."

WHOOP members have already demonstrated the value of connection. Today, 57% of members belong to at least one WHOOP Team. While Teams bring members together through groups and leaderboards, WHOOP Humans makes those connections personal. Members can follow friends and family directly, explore the performance insights others choose to share, and offer encouragement through reactions and comments.

WHOOP Humans also introduces Moments, allowing members to share photos from workouts, personal milestones, and meaningful experiences. By bringing the stories behind the data into the WHOOP experience, Moments helps members celebrate not just the numbers, but the lives and achievements they represent. Members can also choose to keep Moments private.

PRIVACY AT THE CORE

WHOOP Humans is designed to make meaningful connections possible without compromising personal privacy. Members control what health and performance information they share, who can see it, and when they want to remain private.

Key privacy protections include:

Granular health data controls: Members choose which metrics to share, including Recovery, Strain, Sleep, HRV, and resting heart rate.

Control over connections: Members can manage their followers and remove individuals from their WHOOP Humans network.

Stealth Mode: Members can temporarily hide their shared health and performance information without changing their sharing preferences.

Sensitive activity protections: Activities designated as sensitive are not shared by default.

Selective activity and achievement sharing: Members choose which workout types and achievements appear in WHOOP Humans.

Private Moments: Members can keep personal photos and Moments private rather than sharing them with their network.

Ongoing privacy management: Members can update their sharing preferences at any time.

These protections reflect a longstanding commitment to putting members in control of their personal health information. WHOOP does not sell or monetize a member’s personal health data.

WHOOP Humans is designed to demonstrate that greater connection and stronger privacy can coexist. Members can benefit from the encouragement, accountability, and support of the people around them without surrendering control over their most personal information.

With more than three million members worldwide, WHOOP has evolved from a product trusted by the world's best athletes into a platform helping people take greater control of how they feel, perform, and age. Members already open WHOOP more than eight times per day, reflecting the central role the product plays in their daily lives. WHOOP Humans represents the next chapter in that evolution.

WHOOP Humans is available to members in the WHOOP app beginning November 12, 2026. Existing WHOOP Teams will remain available. For more information, visit whoop.com or access the official press kit.

About WHOOP

WHOOP delivers a wearable membership to help people live healthier, longer lives and unlock extraordinary potential. Through a powerful 24/7 wearable with a 14-day battery life, WHOOP provides intelligent health guidance across sleep, recovery, strain, fitness, and longevity. The health platform includes an FDA-cleared ECG, a Healthspan longevity feature, Blood Pressure Insights, and Advanced Labs blood biomarker analysis. Research shows that people who wear WHOOP daily log more than 90 additional minutes of exercise per week, get over two extra hours of sleep, and have 10% higher heart rate variability.

Trusted by millions of members worldwide including athletes, global leaders, military operators, executives, and artists, WHOOP has become a modern symbol of disciplined, intentional living. WHOOP was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in Boston. The company has raised more than $900 million in venture capital, ships to 61 countries, and operates in six languages. To learn more or start a one-month free trial, visit whoop.com and connect with WHOOP on Instagram, X, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube.

Space42 lance des hotspots Wi-Fi gratuits, financés par la publicité, pour ses partenaires en Afrique du Sud

 

ABOU DHABI, Émirats arabes unis, et LE CAP, Afrique du Sud - mercredi, 11. novembre 2026

(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Space42 (ADX: SPACE42), entreprise SpaceTech propulsée par l’intelligence artificielle (IA), basée aux Émirats arabes unis et dotée d'une présence internationale, a lancé en Afrique du Sud une nouvelle solution de hotspots Wi-Fi financés par la publicité, alimentée par YahClick, son service Internet haut débit par satellite. Cette solution contribue à réduire la fracture numérique à travers un modèle d’incitations commerciales permettant aux entreprises d’offrir un accès Wi-Fi public gratuit au sein de leurs établissements. Entièrement financé par les annonceurs, le service permet aux utilisateurs de profiter de 20 minutes de connexion Internet gratuite après le visionnage d’une séquence vidéo promotionnelle de 30 secondes, avec la possibilité de renouveler le processus pour prolonger leur accès au réseau.

Elmuiz Saad, vice-président senior chargé des services spatiaux commerciaux chez Space42, a déclaré : « Cette nouvelle solution Wi-Fi vise à soutenir les priorités de l'Afrique du Sud en matière d'inclusion numérique. Portés par notre ambition de devenir un leader mondial des réseaux non terrestres, nous continuons de renforcer notre présence en Afrique du Sud, une présence déjà bien établie à travers YahClick, et plus récemment, à travers Thuraya-4. En collaborant étroitement avec les opérateurs et partenaires locaux, nous sommes mieux placés pour identifier les besoins en connectivité et mobiliser les moyens nécessaires pour y répondre directement sur le terrain. »

Des opportunités de revenus pour les partenaires, une audience mesurable pour les annonceurs

Les partenaires réseau peuvent désormais générer des revenus à partir de leurs infrastructures Wi-Fi, tout en bénéficiant d'outils de reporting permettant de suivre et d'optimiser leurs performances. De leur côté, les annonceurs bénéficient d'un accès direct aux audiences connectées et disposent de données concrètes pour mesurer l'engagement, sur un marché où les recettes publicitaires sur Internet devraient atteindre 3,1 milliards de dollars (55,7 milliards de rands) d'ici à 2030 ¹.

Les partenaires, nouveaux comme existants, peuvent déployer des antennes et des routeurs raccordés au réseau YahClick, pour fournir une connectivité Wi-Fi au sein de leurs établissements, y compris dans les zones où l'accès à Internet public demeure limité. Ceux qui disposent d'équipements compatibles peuvent également intégrer des fonctionnalités publicitaires et analytiques sans renouveler leur infrastructure.

Capitalisant sur la présence de Space42 en Afrique

La solution s'appuie sur les activités déjà établies de Space42 à travers l'Afrique, couvrant les communications par satellite, les infrastructures de connectivité haut débit et l'intelligence géospatiale.

• Afrique du Sud : En novembre 2025, Thuraya, filiale de Space42, a annoncé le déploiement commercial de son système de satellite de communication de nouvelle génération Thuraya-4, soutenant des secteurs critiques, notamment l'énergie, l'exploitation minière et les opérations maritimes.

• Connectivité plus étendue en Afrique : Space42 a permis de connecter plus de 1 000 écoles et 500 cliniques à internet au Zimbabwe, avec un objectif d'étendre ce réseau à 2 500 écoles supplémentaires. Au Rwanda, sa filiale Mira Aerospace a réalisé le premier appel vidéo 5G au monde depuis un système de plateformes à haute altitude (HAPS) à voilure fixe.

• Intelligence géospatiale : à travers l'initiative Map Africa, Space42 travaille avec Microsoft et Esri pour développer une cartographie de base de l'Afrique, utilisant des images satellites et des analyses par IA, couvrant les 54 pays d’Afrique. Cette initiative vise à soutenir l'urbanisme, la résilience climatique et le développement durable sur tout le continent.

Space42 Introduces Advertising-Funded Wi-Fi Hotspots for Partners in South Africa

 

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates and CAPE TOWN, South Africa - Wednesday, 11. November 2026

 

(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Space42 (ADX: SPACE42), the UAE-based, AI-powered SpaceTech company with global reach, introduced an advertising-funded Wi-Fi hotspot solution powered by YahClick, its long-standing satellite broadband service in South Africa. The solution contributes to bridging the digital divide through a commercially sustainable model that gives businesses a clear incentive to offer free public Wi-Fi at their own locations. Advertisers fund the service, so users receive 20 minutes of free internet access after watching a 30-second video and can repeat the process to stay connected.

Elmuiz Saad, Senior Vice President of Commercial at Space42, said: “Space42’s latest Wi-Fi solution aims to support South Africa’s digital inclusion priorities. Anchored in our strategy to become a global leader in Non-Terrestrial Networks, we are growing our market presence in South Africa, established through YahClick and more recently Thuraya-4. Working alongside local operators and partners provides us with the insight into where connectivity is required and the presence to deliver it on the ground.”

Revenue for partners, measurable reach for advertisers

Network partners can earn revenue from their Wi-Fi infrastructure and use reporting tools to monitor performance. Advertisers gain a direct channel to connected audiences, with data to measure engagement in a market where internet advertising revenue is projected to reach $3.1 billion (R55.7 billion) by 2030¹.

New and existing partners can install antennas and routers that connect to the YahClick network and share it as Wi-Fi at their locations, including areas with limited public access. Those with compatible equipment can add advertising and analytics capabilities without replacing their infrastructure.

Building on Space42's presence in Africa

The solution builds on Space42's existing activities across Africa, spanning satellite communications, broadband connectivity, and geospatial intelligence.

• South Africa: In November 2025, Space42 subsidiary Thuraya announced the commercial rollout of Thuraya-4 satellite services, supporting sectors including energy, mining, and maritime operations.
• Broader connectivity in Africa: Space42 has connected more than 1,000 schools and 500 clinics in Zimbabwe, with a further 2,500 schools planned. In Rwanda, its subsidiary Mira Aerospace conducted the world's first 5G video call from a fixed-wing High-Altitude Platform Station (HAPS).
• Geospatial intelligence: Through the Map Africa Initiative, Space42 is working with Microsoft and Esri to develop a base map of Africa using satellite imagery and AI analytics. The initiative covers all 54 countries and supports urban planning, climate resilience, and sustainable growth.

Angel Aligner Unveils Six Innovations for 2027

 Angel Elevates the Orthodontic Specialty by Focusing on Complex-Case Solutions

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Angelalign Technology Inc. (6699.HK) (“Angel”), a global clear aligner leader, has unveiled six new clinical innovations, including SuperElastic (MC-SE)* aligner material, a Deepbite Solution for significantly expanded indications, and the Adapt-MATM system for next generation growth guidance for young patients.

Orthodontists and opinion leaders have long remarked about Angel’s clinical excellence. Orthodontics educator and thought leader Dr. David Sarver said: “In over 4 decades, I’ve never had a parent say I’d be happy if you ensure that my child’s treatment results are average.” Angel is committed to elevating the orthodontic specialty well above the average, especially as more competition and harder referral cases demand outstanding results.

Bindu Saran, VP of Product Strategy, added: “Angel was founded by orthodontic professors and is committed to being the standard bearer of innovation in the specialty. We want to help premium orthodontists stand out in their treatment capabilities. Our innovations are effective because we listen closely to what specialists ask for and satisfy their needs. Angel’s services are rock-solid and only get better over time because we are constantly improving features year after year.”

Our innovations unveiled for 2027 include:

SuperElastic (MC-SE) material, with large elastic range, strength and toughness sought for tooth movement, will be available after the appropriate registrations are received

Adapt-MATM system, a next generation mandibular advancement for growth guidance for young patients who present hyperdivergent to hypodivergent growth patterns

DeepBite Solution, which quadruples the treatable indication of tooth overjet compared to current products

Pressure Points and trimlines designed to improve force expression and aligner contact for enhanced control over challenging tooth movements

HaloTM Retention, expanded functional retention solution to prevent relapse of conditions, including deepbite, Class III, and tongue thrusting

iPlan software, helps clinicians revise treatment plans quickly by using intelligent algorithms in planning and staging

These follow many widely known innovations that Angel pioneered, including angelButton™ (launched 2019), A6 Mandibular Advancement (2015), angelHook™ (2023) and Intelligent Root System (2020).

* MC-SE will be available after the appropriate registrations are received. Also, pending trademark registration.

Shahrukhz Residences by Danube: Exclusive Gauri Khan-Designed Penthouses Worth USD 5.35 Million Each Sell Out on Launch Day

 Danube Properties unveiled Shahrukhz Residences by Danube, its fully furnished waterfront development in Dubai Maritime City, at a grand launch event on November 11 at Coca-Cola Arena, Dubai, in presence of the Danube Group Founder and Chairman Rizwan Sajan, Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan.

Hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar, the event marked the second collaboration between Rizwan Sajan and SRK. A highlight of the evening was the announcement that all Gauri Khan-designed penthouses, each valued at USD 5.35 Million, had sold out on launch day.

Expressing gratitude for the phenomenal response, Rizwan Sajan said, “Shahrukhz Residences is more than a development; it represents our ambition to create homes that bring together exceptional design, meaningful experiences and lasting value. The response, particularly the penthouse sell-out, is a proud milestone for our team.”

Shah Rukh Khan said, “It’s wonderful to see the Shahrukhz journey evolve from a successful commercial landmark into an iconic residential address. The idea of living life king style is brought to life through experiences envisioned for this development.”

Gauri Khan added, “For the penthouses, I wanted to create spaces that feel elegant, warm and distinctive, while making the most of the waterfront setting. It’s special to see this design vision receive such an encouraging response, with a houseful mark already stamped on it.”

Shahrukhz Residences offers fully furnished apartments starting at USD 450k, with a flexible 30:70 payment plan: 30% during construction and 70% upon handover.

The tower will feature 40+ lifestyle amenities, including a first-of-its-kind Longevity Lounge with cryotherapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a red-light therapy bed, infrared sauna and other longevity-inspired facilities. Residents will also enjoy aqua-themed play areas, sports facilities, children's daycare, cycling and jogging tracks, an exclusive rooftop King's Club and access to a private yacht.

Shahrukhz Residences by Danube follows the success of the Shahrukhz commercial tower, which was sold out on launch day in 2025.
