The Abu Dhabi Film Commission (ADFC) also shared new behind-the-scenes images from filming in Abu Dhabi’s pristine Liwa Desert for Dune: Part Three, featuring Denis Villeneuve with cast and crew on location and showcasing the continued partnership between the Commission and Legendary across all three films over the past seven years. Across the franchise, Liwa’s sweeping, otherworldly landscapes have brought Arrakis to life and helped define some of its most iconic cinematic moments.

Dune: Part Three brings Denis Villeneuve’s trilogy to a breathtaking conclusion, set nearly two decades after Paul Atreides seized control of the Imperium. Now a ruthless Emperor, Paul must face the consequences of his reign as old allies return, terrifying new threats emerge, and betrayal lurks in every shadow. Haunted by visions of Imperial collapse and the reappearance of his long-lost love, Paul is drawn into a sweeping conspiracy, with Chani at the heart of its unfolding mystery. As rebellion brews and enemies close in, Paul must confront the true cost of power and the fate of those he loves the most.

Grand in scale and intimate in emotion, Dune: Part Three delivers a powerful and poetic conclusion to one of the defining epics of our time. Building on the visual legacy established in Dune (2021) and Dune: Part Two (2024), Abu Dhabi’s dramatic desert landscapes once again play a central role in bringing the world of Arrakis to life.

“The opportunity to again work with the incredible cast and crew from Dune: Part Three as Abu Dhabi’s Liwa Desert stars as Arrakis for Denis Villeneuve’s culminating installment was really a poignant and pivotal moment for the entire creative ecosystem of Abu Dhabi. Over 600 UAE-based individuals were involved with the 31 day shoot, from six interns and 38 residents in crowd scenes to 206 local crew and 336 individuals from our wider creative industry including caterers and drivers, the impact of Dune: Part Three is enormous. We, like the rest of the world, are now on an exciting countdown journey to the 16 December when we’ll see the fruition of so many individual efforts, which united to provide a seamless collaboration with Legendary Entertainment.” commented Sameer Al Jaberi, Head of Abu Dhabi Film Commission.

“Returning to Abu Dhabi’s Liwa Desert for Dune: Part Three was never in doubt. I can’t think of any place else in the world that provides such stunning imagery, as well as the support we’ve received from the Abu Dhabi Film Commission and our partners there across all three films. The people, crew, and resources in Abu Dhabi made an incredibly difficult undertaking feel comfortable and easy, and the attention to detail and care shown to our cast and crew was exceptional,” said Herb Gains, EVP of Physical Production, Legendary Entertainment.

Dune: Part Three was supported by Creative Media Authority Abu Dhabi (CMA) and the Abu Dhabi Film Commission, with Image Nation Abu Dhabi serving as a production partner and Epic Films as the local production services provider. The production also benefited from Abu Dhabi’s cashback rebate program and 206 highly skilled local crew including 12 stunt performers who were joined by 336 local contractors and drivers, underscoring the emirate’s continued growth as a premier destination for large-scale international filmmaking. The 31 day shoot in Abu Dhabi, which included two days in Al Ain, also required the assistance of 38 individuals to support with on-camera crowd scenes whilst six young, talented interns supported in production roles off-camera.

“Working with some of the world’s leading film creatives and being able to bring the authenticity of how a nation works harmoniously within a desert environment gave me great pride as an Emirati, and now to be able to see our beautiful local landscapes and talent on screen will build upon this pride as the world sees Arrakis on screens again,” said Mohamed F Mostafa, Stunt Performer, Dune: Part Three.

“The enduring relationship between Legendary Entertainment and the Abu Dhabi Film Commission spans more than a decade and reflects a shared commitment to supporting world-class productions. Throughout that time, Abu Dhabi has proven to be a trusted partner, providing the expertise, infrastructure, and collaboration required to successfully execute productions on a global scale. The Dune trilogy is a testament to the strength of that relationship, and we are proud of what we have achieved together,” said Sam Kozhaya, EVP of Operations and Corporate Development, Legendary Entertainment.

Directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Villeneuve and Brian K. Vaughan, Dune: Part Three is based on the novels written by Frank Herbert and delivers the epic conclusion to Villeneuve’s trilogy. The film stars Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Jason Momoa, Florence Pugh, Rebecca Ferguson, Isaach De Bankolé, with Charlotte Rampling, with Anya Taylor-Joy, and Robert Pattinson, and Javier Bardem, and features newcomers Nakoa-Wolf Momoa and Ida Brooke. 

Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures Present A Legendary Pictures Production, A Film By Denis Villeneuve, Dune: Part Three. The film opens only in theaters and IMAX® across North America on December 18, 2026, and internationally beginning December 16, 2026, and will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures and in China by Legendary East.

LBB Specialties and Ruby Bio Partner to Advance Market Readiness for Fermentation-Derived Emulsifiers

Collaboration combines Ruby Bio’s innovative biomanufacturing platform with LBBS’s commercial expertise to help prepare the market for a new generation of clean-label, palm-free emulsifiers produced from renewable and upcycled feedstocks.

NORWALK, Conn., July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LBB Specialties (LBBS), a North American distributor of specialty chemicals and ingredients, today announced a commercial relationship with Ruby Bio to advance market readiness for Ruby Bio’s fermentation-derived emulsifier platform across North America. The collaboration will focus on customer engagement, market development, and commercialization planning to help prepare manufacturers for the introduction of a new generation of fermented, clean-label, palm-free emulsifiers produced from renewable and upcycled feedstocks.

As consumer expectations continue to evolve around ingredient transparency, sustainability, and supply chain resilience, manufacturers are increasingly seeking solutions that deliver both performance and environmental benefits. Food and beverage companies face growing pressure to reduce reliance on palm-derived ingredients, strengthen supply chains, and meet demand for more sustainable products without compromising functionality. Ruby Bio’s proprietary fermentation platform addresses these challenges by offering a fermentation-derived alternative to conventional emulsification technologies.

The emulsifier platform uses naturally occurring yeast to convert renewable and upcycled feedstocks into high-performance ingredients that help formulators meet growing demand for clean-label, palm-free, and sustainably sourced ingredients. Unlike conventional production methods, this precision fermentation process reduces environmental impact while delivering consistent performance.

The relationship will initially focus on customer engagement and commercialization readiness as Ruby Bio progresses toward commercial production and regulatory milestones. Initial production of the company’s fermentation-derived emulsifiers is expected to begin later this year, with self-GRAS determination anticipated in 2027. In advance of commercialization, LBBS and Ruby Bio will collaborate with prospective customers to explore application opportunities, gather market feedback, develop technical and marketing resources, and build the foundation for successful market adoption upon launch.

Through this relationship, LBBS will help lead commercial market development activities with Ruby Bio for emulsifiers across North America, leveraging its strategic marketing capabilities, technical sales organization, and customer-first approach to market development. As a specialty ingredients distributor serving Food & Nutrition, Life Sciences, Care, and Industrial Specialties markets, LBBS provides customers with a combination of technical expertise, market insights, and commercialization support designed to accelerate innovation and growth.

Together, the companies aim to help food, beverage, and nutrition manufacturers evaluate emerging emulsifier technologies and prepare for future commercialization opportunities. By combining Ruby Bio’s manufacturing platform with LBBS’s commercialization expertise, the collaboration aims to accelerate customer understanding, application development, and market adoption readiness for fermentation-derived emulsifiers.

“Our customers are increasingly looking for ingredient solutions that support clean-label initiatives, sustainability goals, and supply chain resilience without sacrificing performance,” said Toby Schmelz, Vice President of Food & Beverage, LBB Specialties. “Ruby Bio represents exactly the kind of science-backed, forward-thinking innovation we seek to bring to market. Their fermentation platform addresses meaningful industry challenges, and we’re excited to work together to help customers prepare for the next generation of emulsifier technology.”

“Partnering with LBBS gives Ruby Bio a commercialization partner with the market reach, customer engagement capabilities, and industry expertise needed to accelerate market adoption,” said Charlie Silver, CEO and Co-Founder of Ruby Bio. “As we advance toward commercialization, we’re excited to combine our fermentation platform with LBBS’s sales, marketing, and customer development strengths to introduce a new category of high-performance, fermentation-derived emulsifiers. Together, we can help customers build more sustainable and resilient supply chains without compromising functionality or performance.”

The companies share a common vision of advancing ingredient innovation through sustainable manufacturing, supply chain diversification, and customer-focused commercialization. While the initial focus of the relationship is on emulsifiers, Ruby Bio’s broader platform spans additional food ingredient and specialty chemical applications, creating opportunities for future collaboration as market needs continue to evolve.

HeyGears Unveils G1X, the World’s First Desktop Full-Color 3D & UV Printer

IRVINE, Calif., July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — For creators, makers, studios, and small businesses, color has remained one of the biggest barriers in digital fabrication. Multi-color FDM is limited in detail and often creates waste towers, while resin 3D printing delivers fine detail but requires manual painting for color. Full-color 3D printing has traditionally been expensive and out of reach, with UV printing and texture creation still locked in separate workflows.

Product image is for reference only. The final product may differ slightly from the image shown above.

Lower Running Costs, Built for Long-Term Use

The G1X is designed to keep everyday production more cost-efficient, not just more capable. Its affordable ink system helps reduce consumable costs for frequent printing, while the Epson I3200-U1HD  (used in G1X) industrial-grade printhead delivers stable performance with reduced clogging risk and a longer service life. With fewer interruptions, lower maintenance needs, and less frequent printhead replacements, the G1X helps creators, studios, and small businesses achieve reliable output while keeping long-term operating costs under control.

Industrial-Grade Print Quality, Speed, and Color Fidelity

G1X is designed to bring industrial-grade print performance into a desktop-scale system, combining faster UV printing, precise color reproduction, and stable long-term output.

  • Advanced Raster Image Processor (RIP) algorithms: Enable 10M+ colors, smoother gradients, and more accurate visual output across different printing modes.

Note: The 3X UV printing speed boost is based on internal testing compared with desktop UV printers equipped with a single F1080 (XP600) printhead.

From Idea to Print with AI and Auto Calibration

G1X combines AI-powered creation tools with intelligent hardware alignment, making the workflow from idea to final print faster and easier.

  • AI-powered modeling: With HeyVerse AI and Blueprint Studio, users can generate high-fidelity models from text or images, or convert 2D visuals into 3D Texture outputs through a simplified workflow.
  • Auto calibration in seconds: Line-scan imaging identifies an object’s position, shape, and edges, enabling accurate design alignment and smart layout in Blueprint Studio for more efficient, consistent batch production.
  • Full-stack creation workflow: With HeyVerse, Blueprint Studio, 500+ curated assets, and text/image-to-3D generation, users can turn ideas into printable models in minutes—even without 3D modeling experience.

On the Eve of BIO 2026, Chinese Innovative Assets Trigger a New Wave of Global Collaborations

SAN DIEGO, July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On the eve of the highly anticipated BIO International Convention 2026, the BIOSeedin Summer Innovation Partnering Summit successfully took place in San Diego. Hosted by bioSeedin and proudly supported by strategic partners Thermo Fisher Scientific and ACROBiosystems, the summit was uniquely designed as an international roadshow and licensing matchmaking platform dedicated to showcasing China’s differentiated innovative assets.

The event drew incredible global interest, attracting over 350 registrants and more than 200 on-site attendees from over 30 countries and regions. The bustling venue underscored a shared commitment to driving cross-border exchange and accelerating the global reach of Chinese therapeutic innovations.

The summit officially kicked off with an inspiring opening address by Ms. Jenny Zhao, Co-founder and CEO of bioSeedin, who set a collaborative and forward-looking tone. The day unfolded across two major sessions—one focused on early-stage strategy and innovation, the other on late-stage global ecosystems and emerging trends.

Session 1: Early-Stage Strategy & Innovation

The first session featured a panel of global pharma leaders discussing asset evaluation and licensing strategies. Key takeaways: licensing is a strategic vehicle for long-term value creation, not a mere transaction; deals often fail due to weak biology-disease links, poor biomarker strategies, or suboptimal PK/PD profiles. Crucially, MNCs now view China as a core innovation fountain, not a cost-driven market. To succeed, Chinese biotechs must provide globally transferable GCP/GLP-compliant data, English-language CMC documentation, globally-oriented trial designs, and focused, prioritized pipelines.

A second panel explored M&A versus licensing strategies. The consensus: M&A is a long-term corporate tool, not an endpoint; licensing often builds trust toward future acquisitions. Success hinges on rigorous scientific, operational, and commercial due diligence, disciplined valuations, and seamless post-merger integration—with cross-border M&A involving China expected to rise.

The session also featured roadshow presentations from Antengene, GeneScience Pharmaceutical, and Salsola Therapeutics.

Session 2: Late-Stage Global Ecosystems & Innovation Trends

This session shifted the spotlight to late-stage assets and global ecosystem trends. Panelists emphasized that science and data remain the ultimate anchors amid global complexity. Both China and AI are permanent structural forces—China now demands a dedicated strategy from every major pharma player, while AI serves as a powerful enabler across R&D, from target discovery to clinical design, though it cannot compensate for weak basic science.

The session concluded with high-impact asset presentations from HighTide Therapeutics, Constimulus Bio, CanWell Pharma, Jiangsu Chia Tai Fenghai Pharmaceutical, Amphiprotech, and VyBio.

Empowering Connections: The bioSeedin 1on1 Partnering System

A core engine of the event’s success was the bioSeedin 1on1 Partnering System. Serving as a vital bridge for attendees, the system facilitated nearly 200 high-energy, face-to-face meetings on-site. Beyond the main stage presentations and panel discussions, the partnering area was humming with vibrant conversations, reflecting an unprecedented enthusiasm for precise, deep-dive collaborations.

Looking Ahead

As the summit drew to a close, attendees left re-energized and fully prepared for the bustling week ahead at the BIO International Convention. bioSeedin extends its warmest gratitude to all the speakers, partners, and attendees who made this event an outstanding success.

We look forward to reconnecting, continuing these vital conversations, and forging new partnerships when we meet again at the JPM Healthcare Conference 2027!

Railtown AI Announces Service-Led Commercialization Strategy to Accelerate AI Adoption Among Canadian SMEs

Company Engages WSI to Execute National Go-to-Market Strategy While Continuing to Invest in Canada’s Growing AI Developer Ecosystem

Vancouver, British Columbia – Newsfile Corp. – July 8, 2026 – Railtown AI Technologies Inc. (CSE: RAIL) (OTCQB: RLAIF) (“Railtown” or the “Company“), a Canadian-based AI developer tools and agentic orchestration company today announced the launch of its Service-Led Commercialization Strategy, a long-term growth initiative designed to accelerate artificial intelligence adoption among Canadian small and medium-sized enterprises (“SMEs”) while expanding recurring software revenue through the deployment of the Company’s proprietary AI technologies.

As part of this initiative, Railtown AI has engaged WSI, a global digital marketing and AI consulting network, to develop and execute the Company’s national go-to-market strategy, including market positioning, demand generation, digital marketing, thought leadership, and customer acquisition initiatives.

Railtown AI has budgeted a minimum investment of $500,000 for the balance of calendar 2026 to fund this program, which may increase depending on initial success.

Management believes the Canadian SME market represents one of the country’s largest near-term opportunities for AI adoption. SMEs account for approximately 98.2% of all Canadian enterprises, yet fewer than 12% have adopted AI into their day-to-day workflows. While awareness of AI continues to grow, many organizations lack the internal expertise needed to identify practical AI opportunities, develop custom solutions, and integrate AI into their operations. (source: Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada – link).

Railtown AI’s commercialization strategy addresses this opportunity by leading with AI consulting, solution architecture, and custom AI application development. Through these engagements, the Company works alongside customers to identify business challenges, design practical AI solutions, and deploy intelligent applications and AI agents that deliver measurable business outcomes.

These consulting engagements also create opportunities to deploy Railtown AI’s proprietary technology stack—including its Conductr platform—as the operational foundation supporting customer solutions. Management believes this approach creates a scalable pathway to growing recurring software revenue while establishing long-term customer relationships built on trust and measurable business value.

Beyond customer implementation, Railtown AI continues to expand deployment opportunities for its Conductr platform through strategic AI infrastructure partnerships. Conductr enables organizations to deploy AI applications and intelligent agents across multiple AI data centers and cloud environments through a unified deployment experience, giving customers the flexibility to choose regional, sovereign, or public cloud infrastructure that best aligns with their operational, security, and regulatory requirements. Management believes this infrastructure-agnostic approach positions Conductr as a valuable software layer for organizations seeking enterprise-grade AI deployment without being locked into a single infrastructure provider. This approach aligns with Railtown’s broader strategy of supporting secure, sovereign, and flexible AI deployments through partnerships with Canadian infrastructure providers.

“Our view is that successful AI adoption begins with solving business problems-not selling software,” said Cory Brandolini, Chief Executive Officer of Railtown AI. “Most Canadian SMEs recognize that AI will reshape how businesses operate, but they need experienced partners who can help them identify where AI creates value and how to implement it successfully. By leading with consulting and implementation services, we become a trusted advisor throughout the customer’s AI journey while creating natural opportunities to deploy our proprietary software platforms as their AI capabilities mature.”

Brandolini continued, “Canadian SMEs represent approximately 98.2% of all enterprises, yet fewer than 12% have adopted AI into their daily operations. We believe this represents one of the largest untapped AI opportunities in Canada. Our consulting and development practice is being built specifically to help organizations bridge that gap while creating long-term recurring software relationships as customers continue to expand their AI capabilities.”

To support execution of this strategy, WSI will work closely with Railtown AI to build a comprehensive marketing engine focused on customer acquisition, brand awareness, and demand generation. The Company believes WSI’s global expertise in digital marketing and AI consulting will strengthen Railtown AI’s ability to communicate its differentiated value proposition and accelerate commercialization.

In parallel with its commercial growth strategy, Railtown AI continues to invest in Canada’s AI developer ecosystem through university partnerships, developer education, hackathons, community events, and open developer initiatives. The Company has hosted multiple in-person and virtual hackathons, providing developers with mentorship and access to its Railtracks Agent Development Kit (ADK), enabling participants to design and build intelligent AI agents using Railtown’s technology.

These grassroots initiatives have contributed to more than 35,000 downloads of the Railtracks ADK, expanding awareness of Railtown’s technology within the developer community while helping cultivate the next generation of AI developers, entrepreneurs, and technology innovators. Management believes that fostering a strong developer ecosystem complements the Company’s enterprise commercialization strategy by increasing long-term platform familiarity, encouraging innovation, and creating future opportunities for platform adoption.

“Commercial success in AI requires more than building great technology—it requires building an ecosystem,” added Brandolini. “While our consulting practice helps organizations adopt AI today, our investments in developers, students, universities, and startup communities help build the next generation of innovators who will shape tomorrow’s AI economy. We believe these parallel investments strengthen Railtown AI’s long-term competitive position and support sustainable shareholder value.”
