Circus SE Gets Awarded International Red Dot Award 'Best of Best' for Outstanding Industrial Design
MUNICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Circus SE (XETRA: CA1), a global technology leader in AI software and robotics for the food service industry, has been awarded the prestigious international Red Dot Award for outstanding industrial design in the 'Best of the Best' category – the highest recognition in the annual Red Dot Awards. As one of the most respected global design awards, the Red Dot Award honors groundbreaking innovation across industries. With this rare distinction, Circus joins the ranks of Google, Ferrari, and Apple – whose MacBook Pro and AirPods Pro have previously earned the same honor. The CA-1 was honored in the 'Ready for Market' category which is eligible only to products that are market-ready. This category recognizes innovations that have completed the design journey and are poised for commercial deployment at scale. With serial production underway and commercial deployment beginning this fall, Circus SE's CA-1 Series 4 perfectly meets the award's criteria. Following the upcoming ceremony in October, the iconic CA-1 design will be featured in the Red Dot Winner Exhibition at the Red Dot Design Museum in Singapore, where it will be showcased to an international audience of innovators, designers, and technologists. 'This award is a powerful validation of the vision and discipline that went into the CA-1,' said Nikolas Bullwinkel, CEO and Founder of Circus SE. 'We always wanted to build a system that people trust, understand, and enjoy interacting with – something truly designed for everyday life.' The design of the CA-1 was developed in collaboration with renowned German industrial designer Mario Selic, known for his work in advanced robotics and consumer innovation with companies such as KUKA, Siemens, and Bosch and was subsequently refined and engineered for serial production by Circus' in-house teams. 'From the early sketches, the ambition was to create something radically functional yet architecturally clear – a robotic system that integrates seamlessly into human spaces,' said Selic. 'We were inspired by Edward Hopper's Nighthawks, the Airstream trailer, and Bauhaus principles – clean geometry, minimalism, and design that disappears into its surroundings while elevating them.' 'CA-1 began with a strong conceptual foundation, and throughout the design maturation, we remained committed to preserving the original design intent. We wanted to develop an autonomous product that feels effortless – for the operator, the environment, and the customer,' added Gustavo Kemmerich, Head of Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Design at Circus SE, who was instrumental over the years in bringing the CA-1 to serial manufacturing. This recognition cements Circus SE's role as a pioneer at the intersection of robotics, design, and everyday human experience – redefining how machines live, work, and serve among us. About Circus SE Circus SE (XETRA: CA1) is a global AI and robotics company developing autonomous systems for food supply in both civilian and defense sectors.

Best's Market Segment Report: AM Best Maintains Negative Outlook
AMSTERDAM--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AM Best has maintained its negative outlook on France's non-life insurance segment. In its new Best's Market Segment Report, 'Market Segment Outlook: France Non-Life Insurance', AM Best states that non-life insurance growth prospects are expected to remain limited over the next months, tied to modest GDP growth expectations. The report also notes that the increase in frequency and severity of natural catastrophe events is expected to continue to put pressure on France's non-life insurers, despite the existence of the state-backed natural catastrophe scheme, Caisse Centrale de Réassurance (CCR). While a surcharge to existing premiums has been added since the start of 2025 to release some of the short-term pressure on CCR, AM Best believes that it will not be sufficient over the medium term amid changing climate trends and that further measures will have to be discussed to ensure the scheme's sustainability.

Indian Aircraft Manufacturing Company Raphe mPhibr Revolutionizes Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Innovation with Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE Platform
VELIZY-VILLACOUBLAY, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: FR0014003TT8, today announced that Raphe mPhibr, India's most innovative aircraft manufacturing company specializing in unmanned aerial vehicles, has adopted its 3DEXPERIENCE platform to transform how aircraft systems are conceived, validated and built, substantially reducing the design cycle. Unmanned aircraft systems are emerging in light of growing applications in defense, homeland security, agriculture, logistics and infrastructure monitoring, and are expected to reach an estimated 6.5 million units in 2030. To contribute to India's goal of becoming self-reliant in aerospace and defense, Raphe mPhibr needed a new approach to integrate technology and advanced scientific principles into its design process for the engineering of next-generation UAVs with superior strength-to-weight performance and increased payload capacity. From metals to composites and electronics, Raphe mPhibr designs and builds everything under one roof. Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform significantly reduced its product development cycle while integrating physics and design for manufacturing within the design phase. One of the most compelling use cases for the 3DEXPERIENCE platform at Raphe mPhibr was during the development of its engine. Traditionally a multi-year effort, the engine development process was shortened to just three months. The platform empowered the team to redesign parts optimized for 3D manufacturing. 1 Raphe mPhibr successfully created complex composite parts through an integrated design and simulation workflow. It reduced the weight of its 4kW 2-stroke engine, which outperforms systems seven times its weight, by 700 grams (1.54 pounds), and made a strategic shift toward 3D-centric design thinking that led to more intuitive and efficient part development. The platform also enabled the team to push the boundaries of engineering by designing high-performance aerodynamic surfaces. 'Designing and manufacturing a drone is nothing less than designing and manufacturing a whole aircraft. The kind of drones we are manufacturing have 20,000 to 30,000 parts,' said Vikash Mishra, Chairman, Raphe mPhibr. 'The 3DEXPERIENCE platform allows us to think in 3D – not in straight lines, circles or squares. Biological systems that have evolved in nature – such as plants, anatomical structures and geological formations – are not made up of geometrical shapes. So, using this platform, we can design more organically and without limitations. It's the best software to create our vision.' 'Raphe mPhibr's adoption of our 3DEXPERIENCE platform shows how innovators are building tomorrow's advanced air mobility solutions with virtual twin experiences. Its focus on in-house design sets a new benchmark for engineering excellence,' said David Ziegler, Vice President, Aerospace and Defense Industry, Dassault Systèmes. 'The 3DEXPERIENCE platform combines all aspects of design, simulation and collaboration in a single environment for innovation and operational efficiency.' Raphe mPhibr recently announced it closed $100 million in funding in a round led by General Catalyst - the largest private funding round for an Indian aircraft manufacturer to date. Raphe mPhibr has a team of over 500 people and more than 100 unique intellectual property assets. Its products have logged over one million kilometers (621,371 miles) with the security forces of India. Raphe mPhibr's future roadmap includes growing its workforce, expanding its research, development and manufacturing facility, and using virtual twin experiences for lifecycle management.
