I Squared Capital Launches Cube Grid – A New Power Transmission Platform in India

USD $1 Billion of Investment Targeted for New Venture

NEW DELHI & MIAMI, May 21 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- I Squared Capital ("I Squared"), a leading global infrastructure investment manager, today announced the launch of Cube Grid, a new power transmission platform targeting India's rapidly expanding electricity grid. I Squared expects to deploy up to USD $1 billion of equity capital into Cube Grid to acquire and build a scaled portfolio of high-quality transmission assets across India.

Consistent with I Squared's platform-building approach, Cube Grid has signed definitive agreements for seed assets totaling more than 1,450 circuit kilometers (ckm) of transmission lines. These projects are being developed in partnership with Dineshchandra Group (Dineshchandra R. Agrawal Infracon Private Limited or "DRAIPL"), an established infrastructure developer with over five decades of experience delivering large-scale projects across India, Australia, West Asia, and Africa.

We anticipate India's power transmission sector to enter a phase of unprecedented growth, driven by strong policy support and the rapid expansion of renewable energy capacity. The Government of India has outlined an ambitious roadmap to modernize and expand the national grid, requiring an estimated USD $120 billion of capital expenditure over the next five to seven years to integrate new generation capacity and meet rising demand. We believe that this has potential of creating a significant pipeline of transmission projects across the country – compelling opportunities for both greenfield development and the acquisition of operating assets.

Harsh Agrawal, Senior Partner at I Squared Capital, said: "India is one of the fastest-growing major economies and a highly attractive infrastructure market. I Squared has been an investor in India for over a decade and has seen first-hand the rapid expansion of power generation, particularly renewables. We believe this creates a multi-decade opportunity to acquire and build critical grid assets that enable economic growth, enhance energy security, and accelerate the energy transition. DRAIPL has a proven track record from our work together on Cube Highways, another I Squared portfolio company in India. Extending this relationship to the transmission sector gives Cube Grid a strong execution partner."

Hardik Agrawal, Director at Dineshchandra Group, said: "India's transmission sector is at an inflection point as the country accelerates renewable integration and grid expansion. We are pleased to partner with I Squared and Cube Grid in developing this sector. Having witnessed I Squared's long-term, platform-oriented approach, we believe this partnership combines financial discipline and operational focus with strong execution capabilities to build high-quality transmission infrastructure and contribute to an Atmanirbhar and Viksit Bharat."

Over the past decade, I Squared has committed more than USD $4 billion to Indian infrastructure, owning, building and operating a portfolio of six companies providing essential services to millions of people across the country. The partnership with DRAIPL combines I Squared's global investment expertise and platform-building experience with DRAIPL's local execution capabilities and regional market knowledge.

The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions.

Mobix Labs to Acquire U.S. Rare Earth and Critical Minerals Company Powering Defense and National Security

^{U.S.A F-35 Lightning II} 


Proposed Acquisition Would Position Mobix Labs Inside Strategic U.S. Supply Chains Powering Defense, National Security, and AI Infrastructure


IRVINE, Calif., May 15 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Mobix Labs, Inc. (Nasdaq: MOBX) today announced it has signed a non-binding Letter of Intent to acquire Special Project Delivery LLC ("SPD"), a strategic infrastructure platform building sovereign U.S. supply chains for rare earth elements, critical minerals, and energy storage.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260514342224/en/ 

The proposed acquisition would expand Mobix Labs — already a supplier to advanced U.S. and allied defense and aerospace systems — directly into one of the world's most strategically important industrial sectors.

Key Facts at a Glance

• ~418 kilograms of rare earth materials are estimated to be used in each F-35 Lightning II.
• ~4,500 kilograms of rare earth materials are estimated to be used in each Virginia-class nuclear submarine.
• Tens of billions of dollars are already being deployed globally toward strategic critical-minerals infrastructure, with potential to reach hundreds of billions over the coming decade.
• China dominates significant portions of global rare earth mining and refining, according to widely cited industry and government sources.
• NATO, AUKUS, and Five Eyes nations have publicly identified rare earth independence as a defining geopolitical priority of the coming decade.
• Beginning in 2027, new U.S. Department of Defense restrictions on certain Chinese-origin rare earth magnet materials are expected to accelerate allied demand.

Why This Moment Matters

"In my decades leading Microsemi, I watched our defense and aerospace customers grow increasingly dependent on a narrow set of strategic materials they could not always source securely," said James Peterson, Chairman of the Board of Mobix Labs and former Chief Executive Officer of Microsemi. "Today, rare earths and critical minerals have become one of the defining competitive battlegrounds of the next decade. SPD is the right platform at exactly the right moment — federally aligned, technically validated, and assembled by an exceptional team. We believe the combination with SPD provides Mobix Labs and its shareholders substantial long-term opportunity."

A Platform Built for America's Critical Minerals Push

Founded in 2019, SPD has assembled a U.S. critical-minerals and energy platform aligned with the major federal initiatives reshaping the Western industrial base — including Project Vault, the recently announced $12 billion U.S. Export-Import Bank public-private partnership for critical-resource resilience, the Defense Production Act, and the DOE Loan Programs Office.

SPD's work includes recovery of rare earth elements from underutilized domestic feedstock — including legacy U.S. coal ash — using extraction technologies validated by U.S. defense-research partners. SPD is publicly aligned with the U.S. Departments of Energy and Defense, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, two of the largest U.S. utility participants, and three institutional financial partners.

SPD is led by Co-Founder and CEO Paul Singarella, a former Latham & Watkins partner trained at MIT, and Co-Founder and CFO John Dewey, who brings over $2 billion of cumulative infrastructure-development responsibility.

No F-35. No Submarine. No Missile. Without Rare Earths.

There is no F-35 Lightning II without rare earth materials. No F-22 Raptor. No F/A-18. No Virginia-class submarine. No Arleigh Burke-class destroyer. No Patriot or THAAD interceptor. No Tomahawk. No Javelin. No advanced radar. No defense satellite. No AI data center.

Rare earths and critical minerals are increasingly viewed as the oil of the modern defense, aerospace, AI, and advanced-industrial economy — and the same platforms that depend on them already incorporate Mobix Labs technologies today.

An American-Led Supply Chain Backed by Washington and Our Allies

From the United States and United Kingdom to Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and India, allied nations are racing to build independent, non-China supply chains for strategic materials. The proposed Mobix–SPD combination would sit directly inside that transformation.

"SPD was built to onshore the materials, technologies, and infrastructure defining national sovereignty in the 21st century — rare earths, critical minerals, and the energy systems powering the AI Industrial Revolution," said Paul Singarella, Co-Founder and CEO of SPD. "A combination with Mobix Labs would pair our platform directly with a publicly traded defense and dual-use technology company already operating inside the defense and aerospace ecosystems our materials are built to supply."

Mobix Labs intends to help build the sovereign industrial infrastructure powering that future.

Transaction Status

The Letter of Intent with SPD is non-binding and establishes a framework for due diligence and negotiation of definitive agreements. No assurance can be given that a definitive agreement will be executed or that the proposed transaction will be completed.

LinkedIn is the #2 most-cited source in AI answers, new Meltwater report finds

 

Analysis of 9.5 million AI citations shows real-world expertise is driving visibility in AI search


SAN FRANCISCO, May 13 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Meltwater, the global leader in actionable intelligence for PR, Communications and Marketing teams, today released new research showing LinkedIn is the #2 most cited source by AI models, second only to YouTube. An analysis of 9.5 million AI citations across 16 B2B categories using Meltwater’s GenAI Lens reveals the content that AI platforms prioritize, and why authentic, expert-driven content is emerging as a critical driver of B2B brand visibility.

How AI is changing the way information is found

AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude and Microsoft Copilot are fundamentally changing how people search for and consume information. When people turn to AI assistants for recommendations, research, or decision-making, the brands and products highlighted – or omitted – directly influence awareness, reputation, and buying behavior. In fact, research from 6sense shows that 94% of B2B buyers use LLMs during their buying process.

As AI becomes a primary source of information, optimizing for visibility inside AI-generated answers is no longer optional. For B2B brands who want to stay top of mind for buyers, Meltwater’s research underscores why LinkedIn is critical to a brand being discoverable in AI search.

What content AI models prioritize and cite

This research breaks down the specific signals and content types on LinkedIn that influence what AI models choose to cite. Several key patterns emerged, including:

• Individual voices drive the majority of visibility. Approximately 75% of LinkedIn citations came from individual member profiles and 25% come from Company Pages. While individual member content tends to get cited more often, balancing individual and corporate content remains important.
• Structured content performs best. The most frequently cited LinkedIn content, including articles and posts, consistently feature clear formatting (bullet points, numbered lists), strong headings, named entities, and quantitative data.
• AI rewards relevance over reach. More than half of citations (51%) came from members with less than 10k followers, showing that AI models prioritize clarity, expertise, and usefulness over popularity alone.
• LinkedIn dominates Tech, Professional Services, FinTech and Marketing. The platform performs especially well where questions are professional, technical, or decision-driven, ranking LinkedIn in the top 5 in citations for B2B searches across key industries, including Technology & SaaS, Consulting & Professional Services, Financial Services & FinTech, Marketing & Advertising, and HR & Talent.
• Third-party and user-generated content have an edge. Platforms like LinkedIn, Reddit, and YouTube account for 47.5% of AI citations, compared to 15% from peer review sites and 18.7% from company websites.

“For the last twenty years, the job of a brand was to be discoverable. In an AI-first world, the job is to be the answer. LLMs are now the first stop for decisions that used to take hours of research – and if your brand isn’t being cited, you’re not in the consideration set,” said Chris Hackney, Chief Product Officer at Meltwater. “What this data makes clear is that AI models aren’t looking for the loudest voice in the room – they’re looking for the most credible voice. Organizations that are discoverable in reputable earned media, credible with structured, factual content, and consistent with the channels they engage on, are the ones that will show up when decisions are being made.”

“Product and brand discovery doesn’t happen in stages anymore – it starts with a question and ends with an AI assistant’s answer,” said Davang Shah, Vice President of Marketing at LinkedIn. “If your brand isn’t showing up in LLMs, you’re not just missing awareness, you’re missing the moment of decision. That’s why being discoverable, credible and consistently cited isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s what defines your buyability and determines whether your products or solutions get considered and ultimately get bought.”

PORTLAND, Ore., May 13 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Green Building Initiative (GBI) is announcing the planned departure of its CEO, Vicki Worden. Worden is leaving to take a new CEO role after serving as GBI’s chief executive since 2015. GBI is an international nonprofit organization and ANSI accredited standards developer that operates virtually with a 30-member staff.

She has been a significant force in sustainability and built environment spaces for more than 30 years.

“I am deeply grateful for the partnership of GBI’s Board members over my eleven years and for our joint commitment to meaningful growth,” stated Worden. “GBI is known for its culture of service, collaboration, transparency, and teamwork, and it is a culture we built intentionally to support our vision and mission. It has been an honor to serve alongside GBI’s highly passionate members, assessors, clients, and staff. I know I’m leaving GBI in great hands as it continues to advance and increase its positive impact in its next evolution.”

Worden’s departure is slated for late June 2026, and a consulting firm will be engaged to manage the search for Worden’s permanent replacement.

For the transition period, GBI’s Board has appointed The Honorable Stephen T. Ayers, FAIA, as GBI’s Interim CEO. Ayers is a nationally recognized leader in architecture, public service, and organizational transformation, with a distinguished career spanning government, nonprofit, and private sector roles.

What is the best internet solution for business travel? Why Holafly for Business is becoming the preferred choice for global companies

 

DUBLIN, May 5 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For IT teams, one of the biggest risks when an employee travels is not the flight itself, but what happens upon arrival: landing without reliable internet access. This goes far beyond lost time, as it often translates into lack of access to critical tools, reliance on unsecured public WiFi networks, and decisions being made without real-time information.

As global workforces become increasingly distributed, companies are rethinking how they support their teams abroad, moving away from fragmented solutions towards more integrated approaches. In this shift, solutions like Holafly for Business are emerging as a foundational layer that allows IT departments to regain control, visibility, and security, ensuring that employees can access mobile data the moment they land without dependency on external networks.

This transformation is closely tied to the evolution of business travel itself. According to the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA), global business travel spend is expected to reach $1.69 trillion in 2026, reflecting a structural shift towards more geographically distributed ways of working, where the ability to operate seamlessly from anywhere is a baseline expectation.

The operational impact of connectivity gaps is already measurable, with GBTA data indicating that business travelers lose an average of 5.2 productive hours per trip due to connectivity-related challenges. At the same time, security has moved to the center of the conversation. With the average cost of a corporate data breach reaching $4.88 million, according to IBM Security, relying on public WiFi networks is no longer a viable option for many organizations.

Alongside these challenges, the way companies manage data services internally is also a challenge itself. Platforms like Holafly Business Center allow IT teams to centralize eSIM management, monitor usage in real time, and automate billing processes, reducing operational complexity while providing the level of visibility required to manage distributed teams effectively. According to Gartner, organizations that adopt automation in IT operations can reduce management costs by up to 30%, reinforcing the value of more scalable solutions.

Cost predictability when it comes to roaming fees is another factor driving this shift, as traditional roaming models continue to generate unexpected and difficult-to-forecast expenses, solutions like Holafly for Business can reduce these costs by up to 85%, offering both savings and the financial stability that global operations increasingly demand.

“Companies are no longer asking whether their teams will be online when they travel, but how reliably and securely they can operate from anywhere,” said Ricardo Rodriguez, Head of Sales at Holafly for Business.

About Holafly
Holafly is the global leader in eSIMs for travelers, offering coverage in over 200 destinations. With an outstanding 4.6/5 rating on Trustpilot and more than 15 million satisfied users, it has become the preferred eSIM choice for international travelers. Its unlimited data offering ensures peace of mind anywhere in the world.
