    MANAMA, BAHRAIN / ACCESS Newswire / June 3, 2025 / The Kingdom of Bahrain is gearing up for its third edition of Fintech Forward, which will be hosted by the Bahrain Economic Development Board (Bahrain EDB) and programmed by Economist Impact. Bringing together the best and brightest minds in payments, fintech, and the broader financial ecosystem, Fintech Forward has cemented itself as a leading regional event, where industry trailblazers, investors, and financial players come to exchange knowledge, celebrate milestone successes, and level up connections.

    The upcoming edition of the region’s flagship financial services event, Fintech Forward 2025 (FF25), will take place on October 8-9 at Exhibition World Bahrain, hosted in collaboration with the Central Bank of Bahrain and supported by Bahrain FinTech Bay.

    Featuring keynotes, panel discussions and interactive sessions, the two-day event will spotlight opportunities and challenges for fintechs and highlight notable successes to learn from. Held under the banner “The era of integration: the maturing age of fintech”, FF25 will bring together fintech experts, financial firms, governments and regulators from around the world to discuss trending themes, share insights, and exchange knowledge to further advance the industry. The event will cover a wide range of topics related to the industry, including the shift from rapid growth to sustainable maturity, the emergence of embedded infrastructure and advanced technologies, the focus on trust, regulation, and integration over disruption, as well as the lasting and increased collaboration between regulators, sovereign investors, and traditional banks.

    Bahrain, the host country for this global event, has a robust financial services sector that combines traditional banking with innovative fintech firms, including crypto assets, digital payments and open banking solutions. The Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB), which serves as the country’s single regulator, has played a vital role in fostering fintech innovation through its dedicated Fintech Innovation Unit and pioneering regulatory frameworks. The CBB’s onshore Regulatory Sandbox, the first of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, provides a secure environment for local and international fintech companies to test and develop new technologies, supporting the growth of a resilient and compliant fintech ecosystem.

    Building on the success of previous editions, which drew participants from across the globe, Fintech Forward has established itself as a key platform for industry leaders to share insights, foster collaboration, and drive regional fintech advancement.

  • Greenlane Granted Continued Listing from Nasdaq Hearings Panel, Subject to Return to Compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules

    Greenlane Granted Continued Listing from Nasdaq Hearings Panel, Subject to Return to Compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules

    BOCA RATON, FL / ACCESS Newswire / June 2, 2025 / Greenlane Holdings, Inc. (“Greenlane” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:GNLN), one of the premier global sellers of premium cannabis accessories, child-resistant packaging, and specialty vaporization products, today announced today announced that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (“Panel”) has granted the Company’s request for an extension to evidence compliance with all applicable criteria for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

    As previously reported by Greenlane on its current report on Form 8-K, on April 2, 2025, the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Nasdaq Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) issued a determination to the Company, which was communicated through a delisting notice (the “Delisting Notice”), indicating that the Company did not satisfy the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement for the continued listing on Nasdaq, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”) by February 19, 2025. The Company subsequently requested a hearing (the “Hearing”) before the Panel to appeal the determination by the Nasdaq Staff, and present its plan to regain and sustain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. Further, as previously reported by Greenlane on its current report on Form 8-K, on May 9, 2025, Nasdaq Staff issued a public interest determination to the Company, which was communicated through an additional delisting notice, whereby Staff invoked its broad discretionary authority under Listing Rule 5101, due to the issuance of Series B warrants exercisable on a cashless basis in connection with its securities purchase agreement dated February 18, 2025.

    The Nasdaq hearing on the matter was held on May 15, 2025. During the Hearing, Greenlane presented an overview of its current and ongoing strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing shareholder value and regaining compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.

    On May 30, 2025, the Panel issued its determination (the “Panel Determination Letter”) to the Company, granting the Company’s request for the continued listing of the Company’s common shares on Nasdaq, but subject to the Company’s evidencing compliance with the following: (i) on or before June 16, 2025, the Company must obtain shareholder approval for a reverse stock split at a ratio sufficient to achieve compliance with the Bid Price Rule; (ii) on or before June 27, 2025, the Company must effect a reverse stock split and achieve a minimum closing bid price of $1.00; and, (iii) to evidence compliance with the Minimum Bid Price requirement, the Company’s common stock must close at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days by July 11, 2025. Importantly, the Panel did not believe that the issuance of a public interest determination based on the facts in this matter was appropriate.

    About Greenlane Holdings, Inc.

  • 1933 Industries Announces the Completion of the Purchase of 9% Interest of Cultivation and Production Subsidiary

    1933 Industries Announces the Completion of the Purchase of 9% Interest of Cultivation and Production Subsidiary

    VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 2, 2025 / 1933 Industries Inc. (the “Company” or “1933 Industries”) (CSE:TGIF)(OTC PINK:TGIFF), a Nevada-focused cannabis cultivator and producer, is pleased to announce the completion of the amended Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “MIPA”) entered into by its wholly owned subsidiary, FN Pharmaceuticals, and Mr. Caleb Zobrist (the “Seller”) to acquire his nine percent (9%) of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Alternative Medicine Association LC (“AMA”) (refer to news releases dated April 8, 2024 and May 22, 2025). The transaction closed on May 30, 2025.

    With the completion of the MIPA, FN Pharmaceuticals now owns 100% of the membership interest in AMA, the Company’s cultivation and production subsidiary.

    Under the amended MIPA, the purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Membership is a total of USD$50,00, payable to the Seller USD$25,000 in cash and USD$25,000 through the issuance of shares of common stock of 1933 Industries (the “Shares”). The final number of Shares to be issued to the Seller is 5,503,450 as determined via the 10 day VWAP price of the Shares on November 27, 2024, being the date the transactions contemplated by the MIPA were approved by the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board.

    The Shares are subject to a hold period in Canada expiring on October 1, 2025. Additional restrictions will apply pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

    As Mr. Zobrist was a senior officer of the Company at the time the MIPA was entered into, he is a “related party” to the Company within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101- Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). As such, the transaction constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of MI 61-101.

    The Company intends to rely on exemptions from formal valuation and the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 found in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the transaction does not constitute more than the 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

    About 1933 Industries Inc.

    1933 Industries is a Nevada-based licensed wholesale producer, focused on the cultivation and extraction of a large portfolio of cannabis consumer products in a variety of formats under its flagship brands, Alternative Medicine Association (AMA) and Level X.

  • Telomir Pharmaceuticals to Participate in BIO 2025 in Boston as Company Prepares for IND Submission and Advances Breakthrough Longevity Platform

    Telomir Pharmaceuticals to Participate in BIO 2025 in Boston as Company Prepares for IND Submission and Advances Breakthrough Longevity Platform

    Company to meet with prospective partners as it accelerates toward IND submission for Telomir-1, with plans to begin human dosing in the first half of 2026

    MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / June 2, 2025 / Telomir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:TELO) (“Telomir” or the “Company”), an emerging leader in age-reversal science, today announced its participation in the BIO International Convention 2025, taking place in Boston, MA from June 16-19, 2025. The Company has scheduled a full week of BIO One-on-One Partnering™ meetings to explore strategic collaborations, licensing opportunities, and potential M&A transactions.

    Telomir is actively preparing to submit an Investigational New Drug (IND) application by the end of this year for its lead candidate, Telomir-1-a novel small molecule designed to elongate telomeres, regenerate cells, and reverse core mechanisms of biological aging. The Company is gearing up for its pre-IND meeting with the FDA, with the goal of initiating first-in-human dosing in the first half of 2026.

    As part of its expanding pipeline, Telomir is advancing a rare-disease exploratory and developmental strategy focused on high-need orphan indications where cellular aging plays a central role. These include:

    • Werner’s syndrome, a rare adolescent- or adult-onset disorder often referred to as “adult Progeria,” which is expressed by many features of premature aging, including early graying, cataracts, metabolic dysfunction, and cancer predisposition.

    • Wilson’s disease, a rare genetic disorder caused by copper accumulation in tissues. Telomir-1 has already demonstrated in preclinical testing copper-modulating capabilities, reversal of copper-induced toxicities and reactive oxygen species production, offering a potential disease-modifying approach that directly addresses the root cause of toxicity and inflammation associated with Wilson’s.

    • Progeria, an ultra-rare pediatric condition that causes rapid aging in children, where Telomir-1 has shown in animal models restoration of lifespan and normalization of disease markers.

    • Dysphonia, including rare neuromuscular subtypes that impair vocal cord function and may be linked to inflammation and accelerated tissue degeneration.

    The Company plans to meet with the FDA to establish novel clinical endpoints across its rare disease programs, aiming to unlock accelerated development pathways and regulatory flexibility.

    In parallel, Telomir-1 is also being investigated in autism spectrum disorder, where its potential impact on telomere biology, oxidative stress, neurodegeneration and inflammation may offer a novel therapeutic approach for neurodevelopmental conditions.

    Beyond rare and neurological disorders, Telomir has achieved significant preclinical success across a range of high-impact therapeutic areas, underscoring the versatility of its platform:

    • Vision Restoration: Structural and functional recovery of the retina in FDA-recognized endpoints in animal models of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

    • Longevity and Aging: Consistent age-reversal, increased lifespan, and improved health in standard aging, Werner’s syndrome and in Progeria models.

    • Metabolic Disease: In preclinical models of Type 2 diabetes,Telomir-1 led to the reversal of elevated blood glucose, restoration of insulin sensitivity, improved pancreatic islet function, and a marked reduction in oxidative stress and systemic inflammation.

    • Oncology: In a preclinical model of aggressive human prostate cancer, Telomir-1 alone at both low and high doses reduced tumor growth by approximately 50%, while also exhibiting a protective effect on healthy cells. These findings directly counter concerns that telomere-elongating drugs may promote cancer; instead, Telomir-1 actively suppressed tumor progression.

    • Infectious Disease: Development of Telomir-Ag2, a novel drug candidate with potent activity against multidrug-resistant bacteria, including MRSA.

    “The breadth of our preclinical data showcases the potential of Telomir-1 not just as a treatment-but as a platform for addressing aging-related and rare diseases at the source,” said Erez Aminov, Chief Executive Officer of Telomir. “As we prepare for IND submission and for a pre-IND meeting with the FDA, we look forward to connecting with potential partners at BIO to explore licensing and M&A opportunities that can help accelerate our path to the clinic.”

    Dr. Angel, Chief Scientific Advisor at Telomir, added:
    “In all my years in drug development, I’ve never seen a molecule with this kind of cross-indication potential. The science behind Telomir-1 is remarkable-it’s addressing cellular aging at its root, and the preclinical data speak for themselves. What excites me most is how this one molecule may have the power to transform how we treat aging-related, metabolic, and rare genetic diseases across the board.”

    GoodData Unveils AI-Powered Smart Search

    A Universal Search Experience That Brings Speed, Simplicity, and Context to Business Intelligence

    SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / June 2, 2025 / GoodData, the AI-native analytics platform, today introduced AI Smart Search, an intelligent search experience designed to help users instantly locate analytics content across their workspace. Whether it’s a dashboard, visualization, or saved insight, Smart Search eliminates the guesswork of navigation and puts the right information at your fingertips, within seconds.

    By combining modern UX patterns with AI-powered semantic understanding, this new feature brings the ease of consumer-grade search tools to enterprise analytics. From quick lookups to deep discovery, Smart Search is built to support everyone, from data-savvy professionals to analytics engineers, making it easier than ever to find, reuse, and explore what already exists in your analytics environment.

    Search Anything. Instantly. Intelligently.

    With a single keystroke, users can access a global search bar embedded in the main workspace navigation. This AI-native feature goes beyond keyword matching – it uses vector-based semantic similarity to surface the most relevant results based on names, descriptions, and tags.

    Key Capabilities Include:

    • Semantic Matching: Understands the meaning behind your query to deliver relevant dashboards, visualizations, and metrics, even when the phrasing isn’t exact (e.g., searching for “monthly revenue trends” can return insights titled “Revenue over time” or “Monthly sales growth”).

    • Contextual Previews: Each result includes metadata like object type, last edited timestamp, and confidence score.

    • Real-Time Feedback: Results appear after typing each character, updating dynamically without needing to press Enter.

    • Historical Recall: Shows recent searches by default, helping users return to past explorations quickly.

    • Accessible Navigation: Fully keyboard-operable, navigate with arrows, select with Enter, exit with Esc, and more, for an inclusive and efficient experience.

    • Permission-Aware Results: Users see only what their access level allows, ensuring privacy and compliance across roles.

    AI-Powered Architecture

    Under the hood, GoodData AI Smart Search is built on a scalable and secure foundation that ensures speed and precision at scale:

    • Distributed Qdrant Vector Store: Provides high availability and auto-scalability for fast and reliable search performance across enterprise environments.

    • Multi-Lingual Small Language Model: Generates embeddings for semantic layer entities in near-real-time, enabling support for diverse language inputs.

    • Advanced Re-Ranking Algorithms: Multiple language models are used to re-rank search results, optimizing for the most contextually relevant answers.

    • Fully Embedded, Perimeter-Secure Deployment: All processing is handled within the GoodData platform boundary, so no data ever leaves your secure environment. This applies to any deployment type – on-prem or in GoodData Cloud.

    “GoodData AI Smart Search brings the intelligence of AI and the familiarity of modern search UX into enterprise analytics,” said Jan Franek, Senior Product Manager at GoodData. “It’s not just about finding dashboards-it’s about accelerating insight discovery while reducing duplication and friction.”

    For All Users-from Prosumers to Power Builders

    • Business Users: Skip creating new reports-find existing answers fast.

    • Analytics Engineers: Locate elements to edit, reuse, or integrate in seconds.

    • Developers: Embed Smart Search into custom applications for a tailored, white-labeled user experience.

    Composable Search for Every Workflow

    GoodData AI Smart Search is designed for flexibility, whether used as a native feature within the GoodData platform or integrated into your own applications. Thanks to GoodData’s composable architecture, businesses can embed the search experience via APIs and SDKs, delivering fast, contextual insight discovery directly within their workflows. It’s a powerful extension of the AI ecosystem, ensuring consistency, security, and scalability from the ground up.

    Looking Ahead

    GoodData AI marks the beginning of a new era of BI, where AI isn’t just a bolt-on assistant but a core, intelligent layer within the analytics stack. As the platform evolves, expect deeper orchestration and integration, and more intuitive user experiences, delivered at scale, securely, and in full alignment with enterprise needs.

    AI Smart Search is one of the first major milestones in this journey along with GoodData AI Assistant – an interactive, conversational interface that helps users generate insights, build dashboards, and interpret data using natural language. Together, these capabilities represent a fundamental shift toward a more intelligent, context-aware analytics experience.

    AI will continue expanding across every layer of the GoodData platform, powering intelligence everywhere it’s needed.
