Fenergo has announced 300 new jobs at its global HQ in Dublin. This is part of a €100 million Research, Development & Innovation (RD&I) expansion plan supported by Enterprise Ireland. In addition to the new roles in Ireland, which will double the domestic headcount, Fenergo is creating new jobs across its international markets to meet increasing demand for its AI-powered solutions. A total of 500 new positions will be filled by the company globally within the next three years. With support from Enterprise Ireland, Fenergo has also invested in a new RD&I Centre of Excellence at its Dublin HQ where the new Irish roles will be based, supporting Fenergo's innovation strategy. The new roles will enable Fenergo to further deliver on its mission to support financial institutions in fighting financial crime and creating a safer world. Fenergo will continue to build out its intelligent, AI-powered solutions for client lifecycle management (CLM), anti-money laundering (AML) and Know your Customer (KYC). This suite of solutions forms Fenergo's FinCrime Operating System, which addresses all anti-financial crime events and operations, transforming compliance from a burden into a strategic competitive advantage. Recruitment for the new roles is now underway, with candidates being sought for a wide range of mid-level engineering and R&D positions. Fenergo is also rolling out a graduate programme with the intention to appoint up to 30 university graduates. Interested candidates can find more information about the new jobs and submit applications via: Let's Grow Together | Fenergo. Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment Peter Burke TD welcomed the jobs announcement: "The government and Enterprise Ireland are committed to supporting and accelerating the scaling of ambitious, innovation-led Irish companies. Fenergo is a clear example of ambition in action - a company that has expanded at pace since it first launched in 2009, and one which today represents a standout financial technology solutions provider both globally and domestically. Today's announcement not only represents significant job creation within the Irish market and excellent opportunities for our homegrown talent, but it also reinforces our position as one of the largest and most important tech hubs in Europe. I would like to commend Fenergo on this milestone expansion and their continued investment in Ireland, which I'm confident will underpin further growth for the company while supporting our economy." Marc Murphy, CEO and Founder of Fenergo, said: "I am delighted to announce Fenergo's significant expansion in Ireland with the creation of 300 jobs at our new RD&I Centre of Excellence, which was made possible with the considerable support and investment we have received from Enterprise Ireland. This investment and growth of our Irish operations reflect our confidence in the excellent talent pool we have in this country, and a market where innovative thinking, entrepreneurship and evolving technology will propel Fenergo to new heights.

Researchers at TU Dublin have secured over €650K to develop innovative cancer diagnostic technology under the prestigious Taighde Éireann - Research Ireland Pathway Programme. The award is part of a national €23 million investment announced today by Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless TD, aimed at empowering Ireland's emerging research leaders. "This investment, through Research Ireland's Pathway programme, will support emerging researchers in their journey from postdoctoral work towards establishing themselves as independent investigators. The projects receiving funding span a broad range of disciplines, ensuring a broad impact on scientific discovery and societal progress. By aligning with Ireland's national research priorities, these projects will help drive advancements in key sectors such as healthcare, environmental sustainability, history and education," stated Minister Lawless The research, led by Dr Anand V.R., a postdoctoral research fellow at TU Dublin's Photonics Research Centre (PRC), will combine two advanced light-based technologies - whispering gallery mode (WGM) sensing and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) - to build a powerful new tool for detecting cancer. This new system won't need chemical labels and will be highly sensitive, making it possible to quickly and accurately detect important cancer signals in the body, even in very small amounts. Based at TU Dublin's Photonics Research Centre, the project will benefit from the Centre's state-of-the-art facilities, including 90m of specialised lab space and a multidisciplinary research environment. The project will also engage a PhD student under the co-supervision of PRC Director Prof. Yuliya Semenova. Further collaboration will come from TU Dublin's Nanolab Research Centre (NRC), led by Dr Furong Tian, whose expertise in nanomaterials and nanoparticle modification will support the development of the sensor's biomedical capabilities. A key outcome of the project will be the creation of a proof-of-concept prototype for a rapid, non-invasive diagnostic tool that can detect minute quantities of breast cancer biomarkers in blood samples, offering promise for earlier detection and improved patient outcomes. "I am honoured to receive this support through the Taighde Éireann - Research Ireland Pathway Programme. This funding will enable us to develop a next-generation biosensing platform that merges the unique advantages of whispering gallery mode resonant sensing and surface-enhanced Raman scattering," said Dr Anand V.R. "Our goal is to dramatically improve the speed, sensitivity, and accuracy of breast cancer detection. This project is a testament to the collaborative research environment fostered at the Photonics Research Centre and Nanolab Research Centre, and I look forward to translating our scientific innovation into real-world clinical impact." Commenting on the awards, Celine Fitzgerald, Interim CEO, Research Ireland, said "Our Pathway programme equips promising researchers with the resources needed to reach the next level and help drive impactful discoveries. These projects will contribute valuable insights into pressing global and national issues, including public health policy, digital well-being, technological advancements, healthcare and more." The Taighde Éireann - Research Ireland Pathway Programme is co-funded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), and Met Éireann, contributing a total of €1.7 million to support projects with cross-sectoral relevance in sustainability, environment, and climate.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1066: Today we're looking at the May economic data from Cox Automotive, how Lucid is reducing its dependence on foreign battery materials and how Meta has increased its ad revenue without increasing volume through targeting.Show Notes with links:May's economic and automotive data show a market adjusting to tighter consumer budgets and lingering workforce shifts. Retail remains steady, but pricing sensitivity is driving realignment in both new and used inventory strategies.Employers added 139K jobs in May, topping forecasts, but downward revisions led to a net 95K job loss.Auto dealer employment rose by 2,100 jobs, though it's still 1.1% below pre-COVID levels.New-vehicle SAAR dropped to 15.6M in May, down from 17.8M in April. Retail SAAR outpaced last year's.Incentives averaged $3,297—the highest discounting level in five years, and the average price paid dropped to 95.7% of MSRP.Used-vehicle sales dipped 3% month-over-month, but are up 4% year-over-yearWith all the buzz around China's dominance of EV battery raw materials, Lucid surprised us with a plan to source all of its materials domestically.Lucid's agreement with Graphite One kicks off natural graphite production in 2028 from Alaska's Graphite Creek site.They've layered this with a 2024 synthetic graphite deal and a 2026 supply agreement with Syrah Resources in Louisiana.All three deals align with IRA requirements, boosting eligibility for EV tax credits and reducing reliance on China, which supplies 90%+ of the world's anode materials.Graphite One's Ohio facility will produce enough anode material for up to 2 million EVs per year.Lucid's Interim CEO said the U.S.-focused strategy “supports our efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of our vehicles.”Meta might be all-in on Gen Z vibes, but it's the boomers and Gen Xers footing the bill. A new Barclays report reveals that older Facebook users see far more ads—because they're the ones clicking.Facebook shows more ads to users aged 45+ due to higher purchasing power.Those aged 45-54 see the highest ad load at 22%; teens only see 4.3%.Dynamic ad tech like Andromeda and Lattice tailors volume by user value.97% of Meta's revenue comes from ads.Meta has actually increased ad revenue without upping total ad volume by targeting high-value users—a shift analysts call “arguably the most bullish development.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
As Pride 2025 is upon us, what are we really celebrating—and what are we resisting? In this urgent, unflinching episode, Brad Pritchett (he/him), Interim CEO of Equality Texas, joins us to unpack how Pride must return to its roots as a community-centered movement, not a corporate spectacle. We dive deep into what the political right is really afraid of when it comes to trans rights: visibility, bodily autonomy, and the power of collective liberation. From Texas to the national stage, Brad explores why safe, affirming spaces are more critical...
Research Ireland, Ireland's competitive research and innovation agency, and Gas Networks Ireland, operator of the national gas network, have today formally launched a new €2.7 million research and innovation challenge to drive pioneering, STEM-led solutions that will support Ireland's transition to a low-carbon energy future. The 'Research Ireland - Gas Networks Ireland Innovation Challenge' invites multidisciplinary research teams to develop breakthrough technologies in renewable gas, energy system integration and artificial intelligence. The challenge fund will support transformative innovations with the potential to decarbonise the national gas network and contribute to climate action targets. This joint initiative, co-funded by Research Ireland and by Gas Networks Ireland through its Gas Innovation Fund, is a phased funding programme. Successful teams from eligible research bodies in Ireland will be awarded up to €200,000 and will work through a series of phases to develop their idea. An overall prize award of €1 million will be available to the team that demonstrates the highest potential for transformative impact. The prize will enable the winning team to generate high-impact research and accelerate the development of sustainable energy technologies.

Interview with Justin Black, CMO, and Jean-Paul Tsotsos, Interim CEO of Chesapeake Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/chesapeake-gold-tsxvckg-innovative-technology-new-gold-ounces-5163Recording date: 7th April 2025Chesapeake Gold has developed a groundbreaking oxidation technology that could revolutionize how refractory gold deposits are mined globally. The company's Metates deposit in Mexico, containing 17 million ounces of gold and 423 million ounces of silver, was previously considered too challenging to develop economically due to its refractory nature, where gold is trapped in sulfide minerals.The proprietary technology transforms sulfide ore into oxide ore through an accelerated oxidation process, making previously unrecoverable gold accessible through conventional heap leaching. This innovation essentially compresses what would naturally take "100 million years" into just months, by applying special reagents that strip sulfur from pyrite crystals and replace it with oxygen.The economic impact is dramatic. Previous development plans for Metates required pressure oxidation autoclave technology with a capital expenditure of approximately $3.5 billion for a 90,000 ton per day operation, yielding a sub-10% internal rate of return (IRR). With the new technology, Chesapeake can start with a 15,000 ton per day operation at a capital cost of just $360 million, achieving a 35% IRR and all-in sustaining costs of approximately $750 per ounce.Justin Black, Chesapeake's Chief Metallurgical Officer who previously worked with the technology at Hycroft Mining, demonstrated its effectiveness on a commercial scale with a 150,000-ton test pad. Material that initially had only 20% recoverable gold achieved 80-90% recovery after treatment. For Metates specifically, tests showed that material oxidized for 204 days reached nearly 75% gold recovery compared to just 33% for untreated ore.Beyond economics, the technology offers significant environmental advantages over traditional methods for processing refractory ores, including lower water consumption, reduced energy usage, and lower greenhouse gas emissions.According to CEO Jean Paul Tsotsos, this technology could unlock a market worth approximately $1.5 trillion in currently inaccessible gold resources. McKinsey estimates approximately 580 million ounces of gold globally are considered refractory, with these deposits typically offering higher grades (averaging 2.25 g/t versus 1.21 g/t for non-refractory deposits).The company has identified over 200 deposits globally where the technology could apply and is advancing on multiple fronts, including continuing test work, analyzing samples from other companies, and planning to establish a pilot plant to further demonstrate the technology's effectiveness.View Chesapeake Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/chesapeake-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless TD has today announced the final 10 research teams to receive Grow Phase funding under the National Challenge Fund - a €65 million competitive programme which aims to deliver solutions for major environmental and societal issues. Minister James Lawless said: "I am delighted to announce the final 10 research teams to become finalists as part of the National Challenge Fund - a competition-based funding programme. These teams are working on innovative, solution-focused projects that will have a real and positive impact across society, the economy, and the environment. They are exemplars of the positive impact research and innovation funding can deliver. I look forward to seeing these research teams progress their projects over the next year as they continue to support Ireland's digital transformation and green transition." €6 million funding for National Challenge Fund The National Challenge Fund, a programme funded by the EU's Recovery and Resilience Facility, has supported 96 teams to identify problems related to Ireland's Green Transition and Digital Transformation and collaborate directly with those stakeholders most affected by them to create real and tangible solutions. Today's announcement sees 10 teams become finalists in this competitive funding model. The teams selected today will have the opportunity for additional funding in the final phase of the programme, where prize funding of €2 million will be on offer to the most competitive teams under each Challenge. Celine Fitzgerald, Interim CEO, Research Ireland, said: "This announcement marks a key milestone for the National Challenge Fund as the final 10 research teams receive Grow Phase funding becoming finalists in this fast-passed funding programme. I wish all the finalist teams success as they continue to work towards delivering their ambitious solutions to key national challenges." EU Commissioner for Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law and Consumer Protection, Michael McGrath, said: "I am delighted to see such innovative examples of the potential that EU funding can bring as the last cohort of National Challenge Fund teams progress to the finalist stage of this funding programme. These teams' work will help address some of the most pressing challenges for society and help ensure a just transition for all as Ireland and the European Union continue our journey to a carbon neutral future. I look forward to following their progress in the next phase of funding." The teams receiving funding today are split across two challenge areas. The Sustainable Communities Challenge seeks solutions to ensure a sustainable future for Ireland's urban and rural populations. The finalists in this challenge are researching solutions for key challenges in the areas of transportation infrastructure maintenance, waste polyester recycling, sustainable construction methods, mitigating bridge failure risk, and empowering communities to adopt more sustainable modes of transport. The Future Food Systems Challenge seeks solutions for sustainable, productive and resilient food systems. The teams in this challenge are researching solutions for key challenges in the areas of sustainable alternative protein sources, disease management in aquaculture, recycling critical raw materials for agrifood systems, mitigating crop losses due to fungal disease, and decision-support systems for food production in greenhouses. Each team is being awarded up to €500,000 funding for the next 12 months. They will spend the next year advancing prototyping activities and demonstrating how the solutions they are developing can create tangible value by addressing the specific societal needs identified and refined in the previous phases of the funding programme. The National Challenge Fund is a €65M research fund established under the Government of Ireland's National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), developed by the Governmen...
