Activ8 Solar Energies has announced the commissioning of a major rooftop solar installation at the Tayto Snacks production facility in Ashbourne, Co. Meath, representing an investment of over €1.17 million. The project marks Tayto's largest renewables investment to date and a significant step towards onsite renewable energy generation. The system now supplies approximately 10% of Tayto's annual power demand and is expected to generate around 667 MWh annually. This will reduce carbon emissions by an estimated 146.17 tonnes of CO? per year. The project comes as Irish manufacturers face rising electricity costs, grid constraints and tightening climate targets, accelerating a shift towards onsite generation as businesses seek greater control over energy supply. "This project demonstrates what's possible when iconic Irish brands take decisive action on sustainability," said Ciaran Marron, CEO of Activ8 Energies. "On-site generation is increasingly becoming core infrastructure for manufacturers. We're proud to support Tayto Snacks in building long-term energy resilience while reducing carbon exposure." John O'Connor, Managing Director at Tayto Snacks commented: "This investment marks a major step forward in strengthening our energy resilience while reducing our carbon footprint. Generating over 667 MWh of clean electricity onsite each year, this installation directly supports Ireland's climate ambitions and reinforces our long-term commitment to sustainable manufacturing". The rooftop system comprises 1,734 solar panels and uses Activ8's ATLAS Duo N-Type bifacial solar panels, designed to maximise efficiency and reliability in Irish weather conditions Representing Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), Declan Meally, Director of Business, added: "This project showcases Irish businesses leading the way in renewable energy. Generating 10% of the site's energy from rooftop solar here at Tayto Snacks is a significant achievement, and SEAI is proud to support it. Activ8, working in partnership with SSE, has delivered a strong model that more businesses should follow." The initiative was supported by grant funding from SEAI under the Non-Domestic Microgeneration Grant (NDMG) scheme. Planning and development for the project began in December 2024, with onsite works commencing in March 2025. The system is now fully commissioned and operational. See more stories here.

Interview with Rupert Verco, CEO & Managing Director of Cobra Resources PLCOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/cobra-resources-lsecobr-targeting-low-cost-rare-earths-through-isr-extraction-9181Recording date: 6th March 2026Cobra Resources has reported a strong start to drilling at the Manahill Copper Project in South Australia, delivering wide, high-grade copper intersections that materially strengthen the exploration case for a potentially significant porphyry-related system. For investors, the early results suggest the project could host both near-surface economic mineralisation and the potential for a larger copper system at depth.The drilling program followed Cobra's option agreement over the Manahill project signed in mid-2025. Initial exploration began with geophysical work, including induced polarisation (IP) surveys designed to identify sulphide-rich zones associated with porphyry copper systems. Based on these targets, the company completed an 18-hole reverse circulation (RC) drilling program, with the first four holes now reported.Two standout intersections were returned from the same drilling transect. The first hole intersected 74 metres grading just over 1% copper with approximately 0.25 g/t gold, while another returned 84 metres of copper mineralisation with associated gold. Importantly, these are thick mineralised zones interpreted to represent a true mineralised width of roughly 70 metres. Such broad intercepts are considered highly encouraging at this stage of exploration because they suggest the presence of a substantial mineralised body rather than narrow vein systems.The mineralisation occurs from shallow depths, beginning only tens of metres below surface. This is significant from a potential development perspective, as shallow mineralisation can support lower strip ratios and improve the economics of future open-pit mining scenarios. Historical drilling in the area had already identified oxide copper mineralisation, including intersections such as 48 metres grading 2.2% copper with gold credits, but the latest drilling confirms that the mineralisation continues into the deeper primary sulphide zone.This distinction is important because oxide copper can often be processed using relatively low-cost heap leaching, while deeper sulphide mineralisation is typically processed through conventional flotation circuits. A project containing both zones can benefit from a phased development approach—starting with lower-capex oxide production before transitioning to sulphide processing as the operation expands.Geologically, Cobra believes the mineralisation may represent a skarn-style system linked to a larger porphyry copper intrusion. Evidence supporting this model includes the presence of intrusive rocks such as quartz monzonite and diorite dykes intersected in drilling. In addition, the company has identified molybdenum mineralisation, with standalone intersections up to 10–12 metres grading around 0.1% molybdenum. Molybdenum is commonly associated with fertile porphyry systems and may act as a vector toward the core of a larger copper deposit.The broader exploration footprint also supports the potential scale of the system. Cobra has already identified approximately 1.6 kilometres of mineralised strike length and mineralisation extending 300–400 metres vertically. Based on the mineralised widths and grades encountered so far, management estimates that the currently intersected zone alone could host around 500,000 tonnes of contained copper metal if continuity is confirmed.Importantly, Manahill appears to be part of a larger porphyry province, and Cobra has several additional targets across the project area. These include Netley Hill, where a previous drill hole intersected 350 metres grading 0.1% copper from surface, suggesting the possibility of large-scale bulk-tonnage mineralisation. Another target, Annabella, also shows promising geological indicators.Cobra still has results pending from the remaining 14 holes in the current drilling program, which will help refine the geological model and guide the next phase of drilling. The company already holds permits for 29 additional RC holes and three diamond holes, allowing it to quickly follow up on the discovery and test deeper targets.For investors, the key next steps will be confirming the scale and continuity of the mineralised system. If drilling continues to deliver similar widths and grades, Manahill could evolve into a multi-million-tonne copper system within a highly favourable mining jurisdiction.—View Cobra Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/cobra-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Kevin Webb, Managing Director of Superorganism, joins Erum and Karl to discuss why biodiversity is the next frontier for venture capital. After 15 years backing SaaS unicorns and marketplaces, Kevin made a radical pivot to launch a $25M fund focused exclusively on biodiversity-driven startups. In this conversation, Kevin breaks down why nature has been catastrophically undervalued in our economic systems, how his fund identifies venture-scale opportunities in everything from invasive species leather to AI-powered ecosystem monitoring, and why measuring biodiversity is infinitely harder than tracking carbon emissions. He shares portfolio highlights including companies turning Burmese pythons into luxury goods, explains why sea otters would make ideal board members, and reveals the cultural, technological, and regulatory shifts that could transform biodiversity from a conservation concern into a mainstream asset class within the next decade.

Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, interviewed Will Morey, Managing Director of Gamma Business, to discuss the next phase of the global PSTN switch-off and what it means for service providers, partners, and enterprise customers. The conversation focused on the transition from legacy copper networks to IP-based communications and the growing importance of execution as the deadline approaches. Morey explained that the industry has moved beyond awareness of the PSTN shutdown and is now firmly in the execution phase. For many partners, the challenge is no longer understanding that migration must occur, but rather how to transition large numbers of customer sites without disrupting services or damaging long-standing relationships. Businesses still rely on traditional lines for critical applications such as alarms, payment terminals, and other infrastructure that cannot always be moved quickly to IP. To help partners manage this complexity, Gamma developed Edge Migrate, a platform designed to analyze customer estates, plan migrations, and coordinate transitions across both Gamma and third-party services. The goal is to simplify the operational burden for partners while protecting recurring revenue streams and ensuring continuity of service during the migration process. Morey also highlighted an often overlooked aspect of the PSTN transition: some environments are not yet ready for full IP voice. In those situations, interim connectivity solutions can keep essential services running while organizations address network readiness and modernization requirements. By providing these transitional capabilities, partners can continue supporting customers while guiding them toward long-term digital infrastructure. Ultimately, Morey emphasized that the PSTN switch-off represents both a challenge and an opportunity. Partners that act early, leverage migration tools, and maintain close engagement with their customers will be best positioned to turn the copper sunset into a moment of growth rather than disruption.

This week we acknowledge the US strikes on Iran and the escalation that has followed. The immediate human cost is what matters most right now. But this crisis is unfolding within a global system still shaped by oil markets and fossil fuel dependence - a dependence that amplifies regional instability and turns into global vulnerability.The same structural tensions sit at the heart of this week's conversation, recorded before these events. Indonesia is the world's fourth most populous country, one of its largest coal exporters, and a nation with every natural resource it needs to transition to clean energy. The problem isn't will, it's money. Who it's available to, and on what terms.Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson are joined by Sri Mulyani Indrawati - Indonesia's former Finance Minister under three different presidents, former Managing Director of the World Bank, and one of the most credible voices in the world on exactly this set of challenges. She walks through what it actually costs to retire a single coal plant years ahead of schedule, why developing countries find themselves trapped by contracts they signed in good faith, and why the international finance system is making the transition harder, not easier.Countries like Indonesia borrow at far higher rates than wealthier economies, even as they face greater exposure to climate impacts. When that exposure feeds into credit ratings, the cost of capital rises, making clean energy investment more expensive precisely where it is needed most.In a system that makes decarbonisation harder for the countries most vulnerable to climate impacts, who pays?Learn More:

Michelle Arpin Begina is the Founder of MichelleAB, where she empowers professional women to gain financial freedom. She is also the Senior Partner and Managing Director at Snowden Lane Partners, an independent wealth advisory firm. As a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA®), Michelle has over 20 years of experience in financial literacy. In this episode… Women strive to maximize their careers, relationships, and health, but struggle to manage their finances. Despite having advisors and resources, many still feel insecure or avoidant around financial decisions. Why are conversations around money so uncomfortable, and how can women break this barrier? According to financial advisor and therapist Michelle Arpin Begina, our earliest money experiences and unconscious emotional patterns shape our financial perspectives as adults. She explains the importance of identifying emotional triggers and embedded beliefs surrounding money that influence decision-making. Security, freedom, power, and love often drive financial behaviors, so Michelle encourages women to reflect on their first money conversations and explore how these narratives influence them. In this episode of the Lead Like a Woman Show, Andrea Heuston interviews Michelle Arpin Begina, Founder of MichelleAB, about how past experiences shape financial decisions. Michelle talks about financial déjà vu, the four emotional motivations behind money behavior, and the role of vulnerability in building financial confidence.

One of the most consequential decisions a CFO will make is selecting and implementing an enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform. Yet beyond vendor comparisons and licensing costs lie hidden risks—customization overruns, stalled implementations, legacy system constraints, and organizational change fatigue.In this episode of The CFO Show, Melissa Howatson speaks with Harpal Mattu, FCMA, Managing Director at Agilyx Group, about what truly determines ERP success or failure. Drawing on decades of experience guiding global ERP transformations, Harpal shares practical lessons from both high-performing implementations and recovery projects where things went wrong.Together, they discuss:The true total cost of ERP ownership beyond implementation feesWhy excessive customization creates “Frankenstack” environmentsWhen to adapt your processes versus customizing the systemHow to structure ERP programs to reduce risk and avoid burnoutPhasing vs. “big bang” go-lives—and what CFOs must protectWhy change management must begin before system selectionThe evolution of ERP from system of record to system of reasoningWhether you're modernizing a legacy ERP, evaluating new platforms, or leading a finance transformation initiative, this conversation offers a strategic lens for navigating ERP decisions with confidence and discipline.
Dr. Steven St. Peter, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Vie Ventures, discusses his firm's unique hybrid model that combines venture capital with disease philanthropy to accelerate the development of new therapies for autoimmune diseases. While philanthropies have excelled at funding basic research, a gap exists in translating those findings into FDA-approved drugs. Steven points out that the autoimmune field is entering a golden age, driven by insights from immuno-oncology and by AI's potential to analyze data across autoimmune diseases. Steven explains, "I've been doing venture capital for the last 30 years. I'm also a physician, but I'm very interested in how venture capital is helping bring new therapies to patients, and that's really the core of what venture capital does. So I've been doing that and am comfortable with that for a long time, as well as my co-founders. About five years ago, I joined an effort working with the disease philanthropy to help create a hybrid model. And I thought that was very interesting because these disease philanthropies are really the voice of the patient. So to the extent that you can bring disease, philanthropy, and venture capital to mix, I just think that's an incredible model, and that really is what Vie Ventures is all about." "The large disease-focused philanthropies have done a phenomenal job in funding basic science research coming out of academics and helping really define, well, what is autoimmune disease and what are the biological systems and why does that matter? And in fact, just taking the case of type 1 diabetes until the 1980s, we didn't even know that that was an autoimmune disease. And in an autoimmune disease, it's the body's immune system attacking a tissue that it shouldn't. And the consequence is that it manifests as a sort of disease. So a lot of the research foundation spent a good amount of time teasing out all that basic science, and that led to insights that then allow us to create new therapies to actually change the course of these diseases. And so as you roll the clock forward to where we are in 2026, that biology has been defined." "So what Vie Ventures does is it really allows a way for these disease foundations to reach into the translation of that fundamental discovery research to actually fund drugs that are going into patients to hopefully result in an FDA approval. And that just hasn't been done in the past because the science hadn't been defined yet, but now we're at this very exciting time, and that's the next frontier." #VieVentures #AutoimmuneDisease #VentureCapital #CARTTherapy #Immunology #PatientAdvocacy #Biotech #HealthcareInnovation #Type1Diabetes #MultipleSclerosis #Lupus #EmpoweredPatient #HealthcarePodcast #MedicalResearch #PatientCentricity #DiseasePhilanthropy #AutoimmuneDisorders #ImmuneOncology #VentureImpact vieventures.com Listen to the podcast here
