"Since stepping into the role of President and CEO ten months ago, I've had the opportunity to engage deeply with our customers, employees and investors around the world. These conversations reaffirmed that Valmet's 225-year legacy, strong customer relationships, and highly committed people form a powerful foundation for the company's next chapter.
At the same time, it became clear that realizing our full potential requires a shift in mindset and culture – one that elevates performance, sharpens accountability, and unlocks new levels of value creation.
With our strategic renewal now complete, we are bringing sharper focus and higher ambition to everything we do. Our new strategy 'Lead the Way' is built on four fundamentals and a smaller number of more ambitious initiatives than before. The new operating model simplifies our structure, strengthens cost competitiveness, and reinforces accountability.

Myosin Therapeutics Awarded $4.5 Million NCI Bridge Grant to Advance Phase I Trial of MT-125 in Glioblastoma
JUPITER, Fla., Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Myosin Therapeutics, a biotechnology company developing novel therapies for aggressive cancers, today announced it has been awarded a $4.5M Phase IIB Bridge Award from the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The funding will support Myosin Therapeutic's Phase I STAR-GBM dose escalation and expansion trial of MT-125, a first-in-class novel small molecule therapeutic being evaluated in patients with newly diagnosed, MGMT unmethylated glioblastoma. Glioblastoma remains among the most lethal cancers, with median survival measured in months. MT-125 targets non-muscle myosin II, a critical driver of tumor cell invasion, proliferation and treatment resistance, representing a novel therapeutic approach that is distinct from existing standards of care. The STAR-GBM trial will assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of MT-125 in this patient population with significant unmet need. Exploratory endpoints include measures of efficacy, including progression-free survival and overall survival. The NCI SBIR program is one of the most competitive federal funding mechanisms for cancer-focused innovation, providing support to small businesses with technologies that have strong scientific merit, commercial potential, and a clear path to clinical impact. Bridge Awards, which require that matching funds from private capital be raised first, are reserved for companies with promising, later-stage projects that have already demonstrated significant technical progress and the potential to attract substantial private investment. "The NCI Bridge Award was perfectly timed to support our STAR-GBM trial, for which patient enrollment is set to begin in November," said Dr. Courtney Miller, co-founder and CEO of Myosin Therapeutics. "It will enable us to generate the data needed to position the program for later-stage development, potential partnerships, and future expansion into a wider range of patients. Our ultimate goal is to deliver a transformative treatment option for patients who currently face limited or inadequate therapeutic choices." About Myosin TherapeuticsMyosin Therapeutics is a Jupiter, FL-based biotechnology company spun out of The Wertheim UF Scripps Institute (formerly Scripps Research, Florida). The company is focused on developing therapies for neuroscience and oncology indications using a platform that targets molecular nanomotor proteins.
