Hyliion Holdings awarded U.S. Navy contract over KARNO power module

Hyliion Holdings (HYLN) announced it has been awarded a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research contract in the amount of $1.5M from the U.S. Navy to further develop and refine its scalable multi-megawatt platform for shipboard and stationary military applications. The newly awarded Phase II contract builds on the successful completion of Phase I, during which Hyliion completed the initial concept design and architectural planning for a multi-megawatt naval-compliant power generator system. Phase II will focus on key enabling technologies for the multi-KARNO Core architecture, including the development of integrated software and power electronics, motion control improvements, and communications systems essential for scaled system operation. Hyliion expects Phase II to commence immediately and continue for a period of 18 months. 'Advancing the scalability and operational control of the KARNO Modules is critical to meeting the Navy's future energy needs,' said Thomas Healy, Founder and CEO of Hyliion. 'This award allows us to lay the groundwork for a highly resilient and efficient power solution that can adapt to mission requirements across both stationary and mobile defense operations.'

Report – Inter Milan Making Strides In Exhausting Pursuit Of Atalanta Star Forward

Inter Milan informed Atalanta of their second offer for Ademola Lookman earlier today, but have yet to receive a definite response. According to Sportitalia via FCInterNews, La Dea are still expecting a written proposal from the San Siro club. Beppe Marotta met with Luca Precassi during today's League Council and took the occasion to present Inter's second bid. Indeed, after Atalanta turned down their €40 million offer earlier in July, the Nerazzurri have returned with a new package. Inter Milan Making Progress in Talks over Atalanta Star Ademola Lookman BERGAMO, ITALY – JANUARY 21: Ademola Lookman of Atalanta celebrates scoring his team's fourth goal during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League Phase MD7 match between Atalanta BC and SK Sturm Graz at Stadio di Bergamo on January 21, 2025 in Bergamo, Italy. (Photo by) As it stands, Inter's new bid, worth €40 million plus another €5 million in add-ons, could do the trick. Though it's still below Atalanta's request, a written proposal will likely get La Dea's seal of approval. Indeed, Ivan Juric's men have urged the San Siro outfit to put their terms on paper before sending their response. Meanwhile, Ademola Lookman is waiting for Atalanta's signal to start packing his bags.

AGC Biologics' Heidelberg Site Supplies Drug Substance for Phase II Studies of Valneva's Tetravalent Shigella Vaccine Candidate

SEATTLE & HEIDELBERG, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AGC Biologics, your friendly CDMO expert, today announced a development and manufacturing services agreement with specialty vaccine company Valneva SE (Nasdaq: VALN; Euronext Paris: VLA) to supply drug substance for an investigational four-valent Shigella bioconjugate vaccine at the CDMO's Heidelberg facility. Valneva exclusively licensed the vaccine candidate from LimmaTech Biologics AG, which previously worked with AGC Biologics to establish GMP-compliant manufacturing and quality control of the vaccine's complex protein-polysaccharide conjugates for first-in-human studies. The objective of the new partnership with Valneva is to establish phase II supply relying on the ability of AGC Biologics' Heidelberg site to guide complex molecules through clinical stages. Valneva and LimmaTech announced the launch of a Phase 2 infant study in April, and a Phase 2b Human Challenge Study (CHIM) in November 2024. Shigellosis is the second leading cause of fatal diarrheal disease worldwide, strongly contributing to pediatric morbidity and mortality. It is estimated that up to 165 million infections are due to Shigella, of which 62.3 million occur in children younger than five years. Developing an effective vaccine to prevent this deadly disease is a public health imperative for many areas of the world. "Our site's unique ability to handle complex molecules and multi-valent assets can help this potentially life-saving program reach its next clinical milestone," said Dieter Kramer, Senior Vice President and General Manager, AGC Biologics Heidelberg. "We appreciate Valneva entrusting our team of experts with this challenge and are honored to contribute to efforts that aim to prevent millions of deadly infections in the future."
