  • Veterinary Referral Center of Central Oregon Launches PetsForward

    Veterinary Referral Center of Central Oregon Launches PetsForward

    A New Nonprofit Expanding Access to Advanced Veterinary Care

    BEND, OR / ACCESS Newswire / November 5, 2025 / What began as a local act of compassion has grown into a powerful mission to change the future of animal healthcare. PetsForward, an advanced veterinary healthcare fund and nonprofit organization, is proud to announce its official launch, an expansion of the beloved VRCCO Care Fund, which has already touched hundreds of lives in Central Oregon.

    When the Veterinary Referral Center of Central Oregon (VRCCO) opened its doors in 2018, the team quickly recognized that not all pet parents could afford the quality of advanced medical services they provide. As healthcare costs continued to rise, economic euthanasia became more prevalent throughout the veterinary industry. In response, VRCCO partnered with the Veterinary Care Foundation to establish the VRCCO Care Fund, a philanthropic initiative created to bridge this gap and provide critical medical assistance to pets in need.

    Through the generous support of donors and community members, the VRCCO Care Fund raised nearly $200,000 in two years, helping countless pets receive the advanced treatments and procedures that gave them a second chance at a long and healthy life. Additionally, more than 300 pets have benefited from rehabilitation therapy to enhance their recoveries, resources made possible through funding.

    As the Care Fund grew, VRCCO realized that the challenges facing pets and their families extend beyond emergency care; they also include access to advanced treatments, innovations in medicine, and the resources veterinarians need to provide the best possible outcomes. To meet this broader mission, VRCCO created PetsForward. This 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization will build on years of community support and philanthropic success to create a larger platform for impact, supporting both pets in need and advancing access to innovative veterinary care options.

    PetsForward will continue to be the heart of the Care Fund by ensuring pets like Pumpkin get the urgent care they require, but it will also take bold steps to move veterinary medicine forward. Through the support of donors, PetsForward can ensure that pet patients have access to the high-quality medical care they deserve. Contributions will help shape a future where financial limitations never determine an animal’s quality of life.

    You can help them wag their way forward by making a donation to help move PetsForward today:

    • $25 – First Step: Give a little love that leaves a lasting mark.

    • $50 – Meaningful Advance: Help provide food, comfort, or medication.

    • $100 – Bold Stride: Support an urgent exam or diagnostics for a pet in need.

    • $250 – Lasting Leap: Give pets a real shot at recovery through treatment.

    • $500 – Taking the Lead: Contribute to a lifesaving procedure or specialty care.

    • $1,000+ – Wagging the Way Forward: Transform the life of a pet in need.

    About PetsForward
    PetsForward, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is building a future where every animal, regardless of financial means, can access top-quality veterinary care. To donate or learn more, visit www.petsforward.org. Follow PetsForward on Instagram and Facebook.

    Earlier today, Sportstech announced third quarter 2025 revenue of more than $13M at current FX rates, representing 24% YoY growth, an acceleration from 18% YoY in the second quarter. Sportstech shared that it expects a further acceleration in revenue growth in the fourth quarter, its highest-revenue quarter, to expected growth of more than 30% YoY. Sportstech noted that this acceleration in its revenue growth is directly driven by increased inventory availability as a result of ongoing coordination with, and working capital from ,TRNR.

Sportstech third quarter EBITDA margin increased by more than 200bps YoY to leading to LTM EBITDA margin of more than 10%.

    Ali Ahmad, Founder and CEO of Sportstech, said in the press release that the “continued monthly and YoY momentum shows just how much demand there is for our products and fitness content, when we’re coordinated with the larger TRNR platform and have better access to working capital.”

    Mr. Ahmad also shared that: “The addition of Caleb Morgret to the TRNR team is helping us also accelerate the completion of the closing requirements. Our big ambitions remain, and we expect the post-closing period to be even more exciting than our growth is currently.”

    Trent Ward, Co-Founder and CEO of TRNR, commented that: “We remain pleased by Sportstech’s strong performance – which validates our investments in it to date, and confirms the potential of the pending acquisition. With our most senior finance executive now on the ground in Europe working directly with the Sportstech team, we have increased confidence that we’ll complete the final deal closing requirements quickly. We look forward to sharing more about the deal and the exciting initiatives that are ahead for Sportstech.”

    For more commentary, information and details on the rationale for and structure of the expected acquisition, please see TRNR’s investor presentation on the Company’s investor website as well as its required filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

  • Final Moment Launches Groundbreaking Digital Memorial Platform to Redefine Legacy Preservation and Posthumous Communication

    Final Moment Launches Groundbreaking Digital Memorial Platform to Redefine Legacy Preservation and Posthumous Communication

    NAPERVILLE, IL / ACCESS Newswire / November 4, 2025 / Final Moment, a technology company focused on transforming how people preserve memories and communicate beyond life, has officially announced the launch of its innovative online memorial platform. Designed for individuals and families seeking a modern approach to legacy creation, the platform empowers users to record, schedule, and share meaningful messages, images, and stories that endure long after they are gone.

    Introducing a New Era of Remembrance

    For centuries, remembrance has relied on physical memorials, handwritten letters, or stories passed down through generations. Final Moment modernizes this practice through a secure web and mobile platform that allows users to create digital memorials, record videos, store photographs, and even schedule posthumous messages – offering a deeply personal and enduring way to be remembered.

    “Final Moment is not just about preserving memories -it’s about giving people control over their final moments and ensuring they can connect with loved ones even after they’re gone,” said Michael Avery, Founder and CEO of Final Moment. “We wanted to build a tool that combines technology with human emotion, making remembrance interactive, accessible, and truly lasting.”

    The company was co-founded by Damien Hinman, whose vision helped shape the platform’s mission to humanize technology and redefine how legacies are preserved.

    Addressing a Global Need

    The funeral and memorial industry has seen limited innovation in recent decades, often leaving families with traditional and impersonal options. Final Moment addresses this gap by offering:

    • Digital Memorials for Loved Ones: Record videos, draft letters, and compile photos to preserve life stories.

    • Scheduled Delivery: Messages can be timed for specific dates, anniversaries, or milestones.

    • Personalized Remembrance: Families gain access to authentic expressions of loved ones’ values.

    • Virtual Memorial Services: Remote ceremonies ensure no distance prevents participation.

    The platform bridges the past, present, and future – empowering individuals to ensure their legacy is shared in a meaningful way.

    Platform Features

    • Create Your Final Moment: Record personalized videos or audio messages, upload images, or draft written notes for loved ones.

    • Time-Sensitive Scheduling: Deliver messages on future dates to honor important events.

    • Secure Storage: Cloud-based encrypted storage protects sensitive materials.

    • Stored Moments & Afterlife Profiles: Spaces for sharing wisdom and life reflections.

    • Shared Stories: Loved ones can access curated legacies in an interactive format.

    • Service Provider Integration: Funeral planners can incorporate approved messages into ceremonies.

    • Global Accessibility: Remote tools enable participation worldwide.

    A Business Model Built for Longevity

    Final Moment operates on a sustainable, scalable model designed for individuals and providers alike:

    • Time Blocks & Recording Plans – purchase credits or subscriptions to record and schedule materials.

    • Premium Subscriptions – enhanced features, ad-free experiences, and extended storage.

    • Provider Partnerships – integrations for funeral homes and service planners.

    • Memorial Tribute Videos – customized digital compilations and soundtracks.
      Unique Legacy Products – personalized options for distinctive memorials.

    This multi-tiered structure ensures long-term growth and cross-industry adaptability.

    Industry Disruption and Social Impact

    Positioned at the intersection of technology, tradition, and human connection, Final Moment reimagines how memorials and legacies are built – challenging norms in an industry slow to evolve.

    “The way we remember our loved ones should be as unique as their lives,” said Michael Avery, Founder of Final Moment. “Our digital legacy app honors individuality, ensuring stories and emotions are preserved authentically. Final Moment will mark the first true digital history of who we are as people.”

    The solution resonates globally – appealing to millennials, multicultural families, and anyone seeking meaningful memorial experiences beyond traditional boundaries.

    Early Reception and Growth Potential

    Since its pilot launch, Final Moment has drawn strong interest from individuals shaping their legacies. Families describe emotional comfort from receiving scheduled messages and peace of mind knowing their words will endure.

    Partnerships with service providers demonstrate the platform’s versatility – integrating personal content into ceremonies and expanding options for remote or hybrid memorials.

    Looking Ahead

    Final Moment‘s roadmap includes innovations that redefine remembrance:

    • AI-Powered Storytelling: Generates personalized memory albums and life narratives.

    • Cultural Customization: Reflects diverse religious and cultural practices.

    • Blockchain Security: Ensures immutability and trust for stored content.

    • Global Partnerships: Collaborations with legacy planners and digital funeral providers.

    • Document Storage & End-of-Life Planning: Tools for charitable giving and archival preservation.

    These developments affirm the company’s commitment to setting the global standard for memorial technology.

    About Final Moment

    Final Moment is a technology-driven company dedicated to transforming remembrance and legacy preservation. Co-founded by Damien Hinman, the company combines secure digital storage with emotional storytelling tools that empower individuals to build online memorials, share lasting messages, and connect with loved ones beyond life. With a mission to humanize technology through remembrance, Final Moment ensures that no story is ever left untold.

  • Galaxi Brands Launches: A Next-Generation Marketplace Empowering Celebrities, Athletes, and Influencers to Create Their Own Products

    Galaxi Brands Launches: A Next-Generation Marketplace Empowering Celebrities, Athletes, and Influencers to Create Their Own Products

    LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / November 4, 2025 / Galaxi Brands today announced the upcoming launch of its revolutionary creator-led marketplace, a full-service platform empowering celebrities, athletes, artists, and influencers to create and sell their own consumer products-starting with beverages. Officially launching in the first quarter of 2026, Galaxi Brands is redefining how personal brands enter the consumer goods space by removing traditional barriers to entry and providing a turnkey solution from concept to shelf.

    Through its strategic partnership, Galaxi Brands offers creators the ability to develop, manufacture, and distribute their own beverage lines with minimal upfront costs. The company provides an end-to-end infrastructure – covering product formulation, packaging, compliance, production, logistics, and marketing – allowing talent to focus on storytelling and audience engagement while Galaxi handles the rest.

    “We’re building the future of creator commerce,” said a Galaxi Brands spokesperson. “For too long, launching a product meant millions in startup costs and years of development. Galaxi Brands changes that. We give creators the tools, expertise, and resources to turn their ideas into tangible brands-quickly, efficiently, and at scale.”

    By bridging the gap between influence and ownership, Galaxi Brands enables creators to transform their reach into real equity. From functional beverages and ready-to-drink products to limited-edition collaborations and lifestyle goods, Galaxi is setting the stage for a new era of celebrity-driven brand innovation.

    “We believe this is the way of the future,” added the spokesperson. “The next generation of brand empires will be built by creators who own their narratives, their audiences, and now-their products.”

    To learn more or to be a part of this creator-led launch, contact Natasha June at natashajune@mac.com or +1 (310) 926-1204.

    Gladstone Land Announces Third Quarter 2025 Results

    Please notethat the limited information that follows in this press release is a summary and is not adequate for making an informed investment decision.

    MCLEAN, VA / ACCESS Newswire / November 5, 2025 / Gladstone Land Corporation (Nasdaq:LAND) (“Gladstone Land” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the third quarter and year ended September 30, 2025. A description of funds from operations (“FFO”), core FFO (“CFFO”), and adjusted FFO (“AFFO”), all non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles in the United States) financial measures, appear at the end of this press release. All per-share references are to fully-diluted, weighted-average shares of common stock, unless noted otherwise. For further detail, please refer to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Form 10-Q”), which is available on the Investors section of the Company’s website at www.GladstoneLand.com.

    Third Quarter 2025 Activity:

    • Timing Shift in Earnings Recognition: For the 2025 crop year, we modified lease agreements on six of our farms by reducing or eliminating fixed base rent amounts and, in some cases, providing cash lease incentives to certain tenants in exchange for significantly increasing the participation rent components. We are also operating two properties (encompassing four farms) under management agreements with third-party operators. Collectively, these eight properties (totaling ten farms) are referred to as our “Repositioned Farms,” reflecting a temporary shift toward greater participation-based revenues. As a result, revenues from fixed base rents are expected to be significantly lower throughout the year, while participation rents are anticipated to be considerably higher. This change will delay the timing of revenue recognition and increase our reliance on participation rents, which are typically recognized once crop results are known, generally in the fourth quarter. Consequently, we expect the majority of our revenue and annual earnings for 2025 to be recognized in the fourth quarter.

    • Portfolio Activity:

      • Property Sales: Sold two farms in Florida totaling 2,678 gross acres for $21.5 million, representing a 36% premium over the original purchase price and resulting in a net gain of approximately $6.0 million.

      • California Water Activity: Purchased 1,530 gross acre-feet of water at a total cost of approximately $583,000, or approximately $381 per gross acre-foot.

    • Debt Activity – Loan Repayment: Repaid a $10.4 million maturing bond that bore interest at a stated rate of 4.45%.

    • Equity Activity – Common Stock – ATM Program: Sold 122,743 shares of our common stock for net proceeds of approximately $1.1 million under our “at-the-market” program (the “ATM Program”).

    • Paid Distributions: Paid monthly cash distributions totaling $0.1401 per share of common stock during the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

    Third Quarter 2025 Results:

    Net income for the quarter was approximately $2.1 million, compared to approximately $6,000 in the prior-year quarter. Net loss attributable to common stockholders during the quarter was approximately $3.9 million, or $0.11 per share, compared to approximately $5.8 million, or $0.16 per share, in the prior-year quarter. AFFO for the quarter was approximately $1.4 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to approximately $4.5 million, or $0.13 per share, in the prior-year quarter. Common stock dividends declared were approximately $0.14 per share for both periods.

    Total cash lease revenues decreased, primarily due to a $5.4 million reduction in fixed base cash rents. This decrease was largely driven by recent modifications to lease agreements on the Repositioned Farms and by ongoing vacancy and tenancy challenges. Participation rents increased by approximately $1.9 million, primarily due to the accelerated recognition of certain revenue amounts in the current year, as additional information became available earlier than usual, along with improved year-over-year pistachio pricing.

    Aggregate related-party fees decreased by approximately $111,000 during the current quarter, primarily due to a lower base management fee resulting from farm sales over the past year. Excluding related-party fees, cash operating expenses decreased by approximately $30,000, driven by lower general and administrative costs, particularly reduced professional fees. These savings were partially offset by higher property operating expenses associated with farms that were vacant, direct-operated, or on non-accrual status, including increased property taxes and insurance premiums. Interest expense also declined as a result of debt repayments made over the past year.

    Cash flows from operations for the current quarter decreased by approximately $10.7 million compared to the prior-year quarter, primarily due to lower cash receipts from fixed lease payments following the sale of nine farms completed to date in 2025. The decrease also reflects higher cash payments for water asset acquisitions and increased costs associated with direct farming operations on certain farms, which are currently capitalized as crop inventory.

    Subsequent to September 30, 2025:

    • Portfolio Activity:

      • Lease Activity: Executed two new lease agreements expected to increase annual net operating income by approximately $65,000, or 6.6%, compared to the prior leases.

      • Participation rents: In October 2025, we completed the pistachio harvest on three of our Repositioned Farms and received processor statements confirming final yields and minimum pricing. Based on these statements, we expect to recognize approximately $16.9 million of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 from these farms. In addition, we received the first cash installment from the processor, totaling approximately $5.1 million and representing 30% of the total guaranteed amount owed, in accordance with our contract terms.

    • Equity Activity – Common Stock – ATM Program: Sold 959,432 shares of our common stock for net proceeds of approximately $8.8 million under the ATM Program.

    • Fourth Quarter Distributions: Declared monthly cash distributions of $0.0467 per share of common stock for each of October, November, and December (totaling $0.1401 per share of common stock for the quarter).

    Comments from David Gladstone, President and CEO of Gladstone Land: “With the approach we’ve taken on certain of our western permanent crop farms, our earnings for 2025 will be more dependent on participation rents than in prior years, with the large majority expected to be recognized in the fourth quarter. While it’s still early in the harvest season, initial reports we’ve received have been positive. Market trends for pistachios and almonds, the crops to which we are most exposed within this group, also remain favorable, with average pricing up approximately 15% and 24%, respectively, year over year. We view these lease modifications as a temporary measure and continue to aim for a return to standard lease structures that include fixed base rents. If we are unable to reach satisfactory lease terms with tenants on these farms in the near future, we may also consider selling certain of these farms. In addition, we are evaluating the potential sale of other select properties within our portfolio. In the meantime, we remain focused on enhancing long-term farm viability by pursuing opportunities to acquire additional water resources at below-market prices, further strengthening water security for our farms and growers. Our balance sheet remains in excellent condition, with nearly 100% of our outstanding debt held at fixed interest rates. We also continue to maintain strong liquidity, with over $170 million in immediately-available capital, including $25 million in cash on hand, and more than $145 million in unencumbered properties that could be pledged as additional collateral, if needed.”

    This adjustment removes the effects of straight-lining rental income, as well as the amortization related to above-market lease values and certain noncash lease incentives and accretion related to below-market lease values, deferred revenue, and tenant improvements, resulting in rental income reflected on a modified accrual cash basis. The effect to AFFO is that cash rents received pertaining to a lease year are normalized over that respective lease year on a straight-line basis, resulting in cash rent being recognized ratably over the period in which the cash rent is earned.

    (5)

    Consists of (i) the net (gain) loss recognized as a result of shares of cumulative redeemable preferred stock that were redeemed, which were non-cash (gains) charges, (ii) our remaining pro-rata share of (income) loss recorded from investments in unconsolidated entities, and (iii) plus (less) net non-cash expense (income) recorded as a result of additional water assets used (received) in certain transactions.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

    FFO: The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) developed FFO as a relative non-GAAP supplemental measure of operating performance of an equity REIT in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and impairment losses on property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company believes that FFO per share provides investors with an additional context for evaluating its financial performance and as a supplemental measure to compare it to other REITs; however, comparisons of its FFO to the FFO of other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to potential differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such other REITs.

    CFFO: CFFO is FFO, adjusted for items that are not indicative of the results provided by the Company’s operating portfolio and affect the comparability of the Company’s period-over-period performance. These items include certain non-recurring items, such as acquisition- and disposition-related expenses, the net incremental impact of operations conducted through our taxable REIT subsidiary, income tax provisions, and property and casualty losses or recoveries. Although the Company’s calculation of CFFO differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO and may not be comparable to that of other REITs, the Company believes it is a meaningful supplemental measure of its sustainable operating performance. Accordingly, CFFO should be considered a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance. For a full explanation of the adjustments made to arrive at CFFO, please read the Form 10-Q, filed today with the SEC.

    AFFO: AFFO is CFFO, adjusted for certain non-cash items, such as the straight-lining of rents and amortizations into or against rental income (resulting in cash rent being recognized ratably over the period in which the cash rent is earned). Although the Company’s calculation of AFFO differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO and may not be comparable to that of other REITs, the Company believes it is a meaningful supplemental measure of its sustainable operating performance on a cash basis. Accordingly, AFFO should be considered a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance. For a full explanation of the adjustments made to arrive at AFFO, please read the Form 10-Q, filed today with the SEC.

    A reconciliation of FFO (as defined by NAREIT), CFFO, and AFFO (each as defined above) to net income (loss), which the Company believes is the most directly-comparable GAAP measure for each, and a computation of fully-diluted net income (loss), FFO, CFFO, and AFFO per weighted-average share is set forth in the Quarterly Summary Information table above. The Company’s presentation of FFO, CFFO, or AFFO, does not represent cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of its performance or to cash flow from operations as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions.

    CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:

    Certain statements in this press release, including, but not limited to, the Company’s ability to maintain or grow its portfolio and FFO, expected increases in capitalization rates, benefits from increases in farmland values, increases in operating revenues, and the increase in NAV per share, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements inherently involve certain risks and uncertainties, although they are based on the Company’s current plans that are believed to be reasonable as of the date of this press release. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to procure financing for investments, downturns in the current economic environment, the performance of its tenants, the impact of competition on its efforts to renew existing leases or re-lease real property, and significant changes in interest rates. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated or implied by its forward-looking statements are disclosed under the caption “Risk Factors” within the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 19, 2025, and certain other documents filed with the SEC from time to time. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.

  • Valladolid, Spain Takes the Lead as Europe’s “Capital of Proof” for Circular Economies

    Valladolid, Spain Takes the Lead as Europe’s “Capital of Proof” for Circular Economies

    NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 5, 2025 / Every industrial revolution has a birthplace. The steam engine had Birmingham. The microchip had Silicon Valley. The circular economy now has Valladolid. Inside this quiet corner of Spain, a transformation is taking shape that could define Europe’s next century of growth. SMX (NASDAQ:SMX), the company turning physical materials into digital assets, has announced plans to collaborate with CARTIF, Spain’s powerhouse research center, to give circularity a capital city in the EU, and, as importantly, to give the continent proof that progress can be measured in molecules instead of paper and faith.

    For decades, sustainability lived in the margins of reports and the language of pledges. Europe promised to reuse, recycle, and reduce. But without verification, ambition stayed abstract. Valladolid is where that changes. Here, in the heart of Castilla y León, industry, government, and innovation have converged around one simple idea: circularity cannot exist without proof. That proof now exists in the form of SMX’s molecular “physical-to-digital” platform, a system that gives every material its own digital passport from birth to rebirth.

    CARTIF, one of Spain’s leading applied-research institutions, has been waiting for a tool like this. Its pilot plants, industrial demonstrators, and sustainability programs cover packaging, renewables, construction, automotive materials, and more. By embedding SMX’s traceability system into that ecosystem, the region gains something rare: the ability to track, trace, and certify every recycled or recovered resource in real time. What once required endless documentation can now be confirmed by chemistry itself. And in minutes, not days, weeks, months, or even years.

    Tracking the Billions Made

    That advance has implications far beyond the lab. The Castilla y León region contributes over €12 billion to Spain’s economy. Now, through CARTIF, that industrial output is set to become more efficient, more compliant, and more bankable. Not through billions more in investment but by making proof an asset. This isn’t the traditional proof on paper.

    With SMX technology embedded, manufacturers can instantly digitally verify the origin and lifecycle of materials, unlocking ESG-linked financing, export credentials, and premium market value. Following Singapore’s unprecedented move to “prove” circularity with SMX, CARTIF also intends to show that sustainability carries not just moral weight but measurable worth.

    The story unfolding in Valladolid feels less like policy and more like destiny. Every technological movement has its ignition point, the place where theory meets function. For the circular economy in the EU, this is it. SMX’s molecular tracers allow materials to remember all their past lives, while CARTIF’s industrial infrastructure gives them a new one. Together, they form an immutable feedback loop of regeneration that connects research labs, production lines, logistics hubs, and financial institutions into a single transparent system of truth.

    Using Innovation as a Mint

    CARTIF’s Deputy General Manager, Sergio Sanz, described the alliance in absolute terms: “Our mission is to deploy technologies that help stakeholders meet their sustainability goals. SMX’s platform offers exactly the kind of breakthrough capability our clients need to prove and improve circular performance.” That clarity of purpose turns Valladolid into more than a regional project. It makes it the newest testing ground for an entirely new kind of economy where verification itself fuels competitiveness. And compliance.

    Imagine a future where every product, from an EV battery to a building panel, carries a digital history encoded within it. Governments could track compliance in seconds. Stakeholders could verify environmental impact before allocating capital. Consumers could choose brands based on proof instead of marketing. That is the world SMX and CARTIF are constructing from the inside out. Just like in Singapore, the infrastructure being built in Valladolid will ripple across borders, creating a unified standard for measurable sustainability.

    Spain’s advantage lies not only in its innovation but in its timing. As the EU tightens environmental legislation and mandates traceability for everything from packaging to rare earths, Valladolid is already living in that future. The SMX-CARTIF collaboration gives Spain a practical head start, turning ESG compliance from a regulatory burden into a competitive export. The country that once powered Europe with steel and ceramics is now poised to power it again. This time, using proof as its primary asset.

    Powering the Industrial Revolution 3.0

    Every industrial revolution rewrites how value moves. Version 2.0 digitized communication and commerce. This newest version, 3.0, will digitize materials itself. And here’s the thing to know most: SMX’s technology doesn’t just digitize resources to trace them; it transforms them into verified data streams that can be priced, financed, and traded. It’s an entirely new economy-one where the molecules we use tell their own story of accountability.

    Valladolid is no longer just a dot on Spain’s map. It is becoming the blueprint for Europe’s circular future. What Silicon Valley was to software, Valladolid is to EU sustainability. A proving ground where science meets scale, and where trust isn’t assumed, it’s earned. The EU’s verified economy is being forged in Valladolid, one material at a time, in a city that has risen from the factory floor to the world stage as more than a contributor to the circular mission. It is becoming the EU’s capital of proof.
