Vuzix (NASDAQ: VUZI) Lands $20 Million Investment From Quanta Computer As The Two Expand Their Smart Glasses Collaboration

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Vuzix Corp. (NASDAQ: VUZI), the maker of smart glasses and augmented reality (AR) products, just got more firepower to grow thanks to a multimillion-dollar investment from Quanta Computer Inc. (OTC: QUCCF), a global Fortune 500 company and original design manufacturer (ODM). The two already collaborate to advance the smart glasses market and this three-tranche $20 million investment further validates that partnership. The investment by Quanta Computer also strengthens Vuzix’s balance sheet, enabling it to ramp up production of its waveguides and launch new smart glasses and related products. Smart Glasses Getting Smarter Vuzix makes a variety of smart glasses and AR products, including head-mounted smart personal displays and wearable computing devices that offer users a portable high-quality viewing experience. The company’s smart glasses and component technologies are the result of deep R&D and OEM partnerships with technology companies like Quanta Computer. Quanta Computer is a leading notebook manufacturer, cloud computing provider and maker of products for the IT, consumer electronics, cloud computing and smart technology markets such as smart homes. Last year it had revenue of $35 billion, and it has a workforce of about 62,000 employees located around the world. Vuzix says its light, thin and ergonomic waveguide designs combined with its optics technology for display engines sets it apart from its rivals. Vuzix’s waveguides take a projected virtual image and relay it to the eye while expanding the exit pupil (viewing window) at the same time. "Quanta’s investment today represents another important step in our partnership, which has steadily deepened since we first disclosed it last November," said Paul Travers, president and CEO of Vuzix. "This investment, and the ones to follow, will significantly strengthen our balance sheet and assure that we can implement whatever steps needed to ramp production of waveguides, as well as the co-development of new smart glasses and related technologies.” Getting Cash In The Coffers Under the terms of the deal, Quanta will invest $20 million in three tranches. The first tranche will consist of $10 million of Vuzix common stock. The second and third tranches, $5 million each, are tied to specific milestones and will consist of the purchase of Vuzix Series B Preferred Stock. “We plan to work closely with Vuzix to support the AR smart glasses industry and today’s investment in Vuzix represents a strong endorsement of our partnership," said Frank Chuang, Vice President of Quanta Computer. Vuzix said at least $3 million from the investment will go for new product development. Quanta is paying $1.30 per share for the first $10 million of stock. Market In Growth Mode The investment comes at a time when the smart glasses market seems to be taking off and looks poised for growth. The global smart glasses market is forecast to reach $13.68 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 10.3% from 2024 through 2031. Driving the market is demand from manufacturing, warehousing and healthcare companies that use smart glasses to train associates and to provide remote assistance. Monocular smart glasses, which are known to be light and compact, are expected to be a big driver of growth in industries where access to hands-free information is necessary. With these glasses, data and information are overlaid directly on the display. The investment and collaboration should help Vuzik continue to innovate in the marketplace and grow sales. The company said as much when announcing the deepening partnership, saying it looks forward to “realizing the significant” revenue potential it stands to generate in the coming years thanks to the collaboration. Smart glasses are taking off as the use cases continue to grow. Vuzik wants to be a leader and is forging partnerships to make that a reality. Its expanded deal with Quanta Computer underscores that. Not only does it give it $20 million in capital to innovate and expand its offering, but it also offers validation of its technology, given that a computer giant with more than $35 billion in sales has chosen to deepen their partnership.

New Immuno-Oncology Research Team in Partnership with Ono Pharmaceutical Starts at BioMed X Institute

BioMed X Institute

BioMed X, a German biomedical research institute, announced the start of a new research team at the BioMed X Institute in Heidelberg, Germany, the institute’s first joint research project with the Japanese company Ono Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. The scope of this project is to investigate the antitumor effects of neutrophils to develop novel next-generation immunotherapies. The presence of neutrophils in solid tumors has been well-documented, albeit their role in the tumor microenvironment seems paradoxical according to the current data. “We know far more about T cells in the context of immunotherapy than we know about neutrophils, but distinct immune cell types, including neutrophils, seem to have a potential to exert antitumor effect, while their biology remains unclear. By understanding neutrophil biology in depth, we aim to develop a wider range of effective therapies for cancer patients” explains Dr. Stefanie Bärthel, the group leader of the new research team in partnership with Ono Pharmaceutical. Dr. Bärthel, a Klaus Tschira Boost Fund Fellow in 2023, was a senior scientist at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg and the Center for Translational Cancer Research (TranslaTUM) in Munich before joining BioMed X as a group leader. “We are delighted to form a team of outstanding scientists with unique ideas on neutrophil-based immunotherapy through our innovative partnership with BioMed X. We believe that the research undertaken by this team will pave the way for the development of groundbreaking treatments,” said Dr. Seishi Katsumata, Corporate Officer/Executive Director, Discovery & Research at Ono Pharmaceutical. “This is our first research team in collaboration with a Japanese company. We are honored by the trust placed in us by Ono Pharmaceutical and look forward to extending our network of collaborators in Japan,” added Dr. Christian Tidona, Founder and Managing Director of the BioMed X Institute. The new research team will join nine other research groups at the BioMed X Institute in Heidelberg, Germany, and two research groups overseas, one at the BioMed X Institute in New Haven, CT, and one at XSeed Labs, a new type of innovation accelerator on the campus of the pharmaceutical company Boehringer Ingelheim in Ridgefield, CT. To read more about research and innovation at BioMed X, visit their website: www.bio.mx. About BioMed X BioMed X is an independent research institute with sites in Heidelberg, Germany, New Haven, Connecticut, XSeed Labs in Ridgefield, Connecticut, and a worldwide network of partner locations. Together with our partners, we identify big biomedical research challenges and provide creative solutions by combining global crowdsourcing with local incubation of the world’s brightest early-career research talents.

Transforming Textiles' Groundbreaking Fashion Line ‘Modality’ to Debut at Milan Fashion Week

Modality

Sweden / ThriveNewsWire / September 16, 2024 / Transforming Textiles AB fashion brand Modality, under the creative direction of Sara Rosberg, is set to make a significant impact on the runways of Milan Fashion Week. The groundbreaking collection themed 'Endangered Animals’ and named “ Fading Fables ” combines innovative Sense-Tex fabric technology, focusing on environmental conservation and sustainable fashion. The collection will be unveiled on September 20th, at Museo Della Scienza in Milan, hosted by Friend of the Earth and the World Sustainability Organization. The runway show, titled “ Beyond the Claim, ” will showcase certified fashion brands and materials by Friend of the Earth, including Sense-tex. Sense-Tex is an innovative biobased 5-fiber yarn technology that combines style, functionality, and sustainability. The Sense-Tex technology, which can be described as a “canvas”, enables sensors (external or embedded) to be applied and integrated onto or inside the fabric to measure vitals. Sense-Tex as a fabric offers health-enhancing benefits and strong ethical values, standing on its own as a sustainable textile without requiring technological integration. Due to pressing upcoming EU regulations affecting the industry, the organizers removed all added sensor tech for this show to focus on the Artistry and Sense-Tex as sustainable fabric. The sensor customization incurs higher costs per unit and requires research and development for each specific sensor project. Therefore, the company is seeking tech partnerships and collaborations with companies that are interested in tailoring their product with sensors to fit their specific needs and budgets. Sense-Tex is a certified material by Friend of the Earth that aligns with the upcoming new EU regulations for the Textile Industry, which requires 10% biobased material in all collections. The multifunctional Sense-Tex yarn and fabric developed by Transforming Textiles ( www.Sense-tex.com ) has also received a “Seal of Excellence ” from the Materials Connexion lab in NYC, where it became part of their exclusive materials library (addressing both the public and private sectors globally). The Sense-Tex yarn/fabric serves various verticals by scaling up the company (Transforming Textiles AB) with subsidiary divisions and a holding structure for the approved IP, as they aim to raise capital to scale up. The Transforming Textiles pitch deck can be reviewed here. This Fading Fables collection by Modality showcases the material's versatility and demonstrates how it can be used in various fashion styles, moods, and genres. Modality is presenting handmade pieces made by Sara Rosberg herself, using scrap fabrics and upcycled garments, combined with prints on Sense-Tex, seamlessly merging art, fashion, and sustainable textile solutions. “The Fading Fables collection is more than just a fashion collection,” says Sara Rosberg. “It tells a story, raises awareness, and highlights the inseparable connection between the future of fashion and the future of our planet. By utilizing upcycled materials and incorporating biobased technologies like Sense-Tex, we not only meet the new EU regulations but also set a new standard for the industry, helping them to transition into the new regulatory landscape.” The theme of the show centres on displacement and the plight of endangered animals, poignantly speaking to the loss of home and the need to flee. As models walk the runway, a powerful video will play in the background, depicting the destruction of animal habitats, the urgent need for conservation, and why we need to support Friend of the Earth and the World Sustainability Organisation. The video was created by Ayesha Saboor, Sara Rosberg, and Charlotte Kehler. The collection will also feature endangered animal-inspired accessories by Charlotte Kehler, made from waste and scrap fabric, with designed artwork printed on Sense-Tex fabric. Modality has partnered with Elobina.com and the Head of Operations, Vilma Gustafsson as a sustainable solution for designers. This collaboration allows Modality to create its own designs and utilize print-on-demand services. By focusing on smaller quantities and producing only what is necessary, this approach fosters a more sustainable production model. Sara Rosberg emphasizes, “ Sustainability is not just a trend, it is a necessity. This collection is more than just fashion; it is a call to action, urging the industry and consumers to embrace a more responsible relationship with our environment." For Buyers We offer the fashion garments showcased on the runway for pre-order sales to boutiques, retailers, and others through our look-book and website www.Modality.store. Please note that due to the complexity of producing Sense-Tex, the estimated delivery time is 5-6 months, but can vary. As some garments have been upcycled by hand, there may be small variations in the sourcing of identical fabrics for larger orders. We want to ensure that the buyers and retailers are aware of this extended timeline, as it differs from traditional textile materials and standard production. We have planned to coordinate bringing smaller orders together with the larger volume orders in one production batch in the coming weeks after MFW. Should we be unable to deliver the combined small quantities due to not reaching the MOQ of 1000kg, Modality will notify you beforehand. Sense-Tex is produced in 3 different factories to ensure the highest quality and performance for safety. A Yarn factory (Kipas), a fabric manufacturer (Ozen Mensucat), and a garment producer (Fethi Tekstil). Due to the brand being in a start-up phase without external funding, there are no fibers in stock, which will delay the production process in this first batch. In the future, when Modality has secured funding, lead times of Sense-Tex will be a maximum of 3 months, when Modality branches out with external funding as a subsidiary of Transforming Textiles AB. Modality also offers options to purchase only the yarn or the fabric in the desired quality, with Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) requirements (1000kg= 40-60 rolls of fabric approx.) for volume production. These prices include Modality receiving a percentage of the future data revenue if sensors are applied and sold together with Sense-Tex. If there is a preference to order Sense-Tex without this clause when using sensors/tech, we add 20% on top of the current prices stated. However, there are ethical requirements attached from Modality and Transforming Textiles AB in the purchase order agreement to protect the end-user and ensure the handling of data is GDPR compliant and ethical use of the product. If you only wish to buy the fabric and not attach sensors/tech, the prices are as below. For independent designers, we aim to trade Sense-Tex through fabric retailers shortly, enabling purchases of small quantities for slow fashion production. Sense-Tex fabrics and yarns are available in three different compositions: Qty A, Qty B, and Qty C. Each composition caters to different production and manufacturing needs in the Fashion industry, accommodating different focuses and margins. Fabric Prices (Approximately) QTY A: 32EUR/M QTY B: 24 EUR/M QTY C: 21 EUR/M Yarn Prices (Approximately) QTY A: 78EUR/KG QTY B: 57EUR/KG QTY C: 47/EUR/KG **Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) requirements 1000kg. Contact: We are open to discussing: Partnerships: Licensing: Custom-made designs: Co-Designing: Celebrity projects; Tailored versions of the collection; and any other projects in the creative sector where Sense-Tex could be used combined with storytelling. The Look-Book from the Fading Fables collection can be downloaded on www.Modality.store after the show on the 20th of September. Please email us for these inquiries to: info@modality.store For Tech Partnerships or other vertical projects or collaborations that might be mentioned in the pitch deck, please email: Info@transformingtextiles.com The pitch deck can be reviewed here.

Moneytree Software Unveils Innovative Financial Planning Solution to Revolutionize Client-Advisor Relationships

Moneytree Software

Moneytree Software has launched a new, game-changing financial planning solution that empowers advisors to capitalize on changing investor expectations and grow their business. Recent research has shown that today’s clients care as much about their relationship with their advisors as they do about their portfolio performance. They value trust and understanding, and they want more consistent and personalized engagement. This is where the new Moneytree solution excels, according to Moneytree Software Managing Director Patrick Spencer. “Long-term success depends on all of us in this industry rethinking how we interact with clients and prospects,” Spencer said. “With this new solution, you have the tools you need to both cultivate more client relationships and develop deeper ones.” Moneytree developed the new cloud-based solution with a focus on the company’s foundational values of accuracy, comprehensiveness, and transparency. Furthermore, the modern interface and intuitive user experience enables advisors to plan with precision in a way that is more satisfying, more time-effective, and more scalable. “With the new Moneytree, you can focus less time on understanding and navigating your planning software and more time on building relationships that grow your business,” Spencer said.

Interactive, client-centric reporting tools that help turn insights into action. A wealth of specialized planning tools that save advisors time and money and help them cultivate deeper, more authoritative relationships by supporting retirement planning, income distribution, tax planning, and estate planning. The industry’s only transparent audit trail, which allows you to show highly engaged clients how you arrived at your answers. Advanced analytics that encourage client collaboration and drive better decision-making. In developing the solution, Moneytree spent countless hours on surveys, phone calls, emails, and pouring over market research. Product developers listened to what advisors like about various solutions, and equally importantly, what they found cumbersome. Already, Moneytree’s new solution is receiving rave reviews. “This is one of the best financial planning softwares I have seen, and I have been doing this since 1999,” said Greg Gilbert, CEO of Infinity Financial Services. The new Moneytree is currently available in the comprehensive “Elite” planning package, which replaces the previous Moneytree Plan software. Moneytree is continuing to support Plan, but will no longer sell it. A more streamlined, goals-based-only planning package called “Essential” will become available in early 2025. That product will replace what is currently Moneytree Advise. To learn more, visit moneytree.com.
