4.6.2025 09:04:00 CEST | Business Wire | Press Release
The Tampere urban area boasts the fastest relative growth rate in Finland ranking among the most rapidly developing Nordic cities. Recognized as the country’s most attractive city for five consecutive years and located in the world’s happiest nation, Tampere is no stranger to forward-thinking plans and bold moves when it comes to urban development, especially in the city centre. The latest monument in the Station District was the award-winning* Nokia Arena designed by Studio Libeskind. The City continues to develop the area with plans to create more housing, offices and a green, walkable connection from the station to the arena.

“Tampere may be a smaller city, but that doesn’t stop us setting our goals high. Studio Libeskind’s unique vision and the City’s commitment to long-term planning has already been proven successful in Nokia Arena, and this is the next natural step for the area”, says Mikko Siitonen, Urban Development Manager for the City of Tampere.
The City of Tampere held a competition in 2014 for the Station Centre and new plans for the area have been developed ever since. After the completion of the arena (2021), which was an ambitious project in itself as it was built above the railway tracks, the City decided to assume an even larger perspective. A comprehensive master plan for both the Station Centre and the North Deck, collectively forming the new Station District, was commissioned from Studio Libeskind, who had already designed the South Deck (including the arena) and earlier plans for the North Deck. The results are now up for viewing.

TestMu AI Adds Evidence Packs to Kane CLI, Turning Every AI Test Run into One Portable, Shareable File7.10.2026 16:29:00 CEST | Press Release
TestMu AI (formerly LambdaTest), the Full Stack Agentic AI Quality Engineering platform, announced evidence packs for Kane CLI, its terminal-first tool for natural language browser and mobile app testing. Every Kane CLI run now produces one sealed .evidence file that holds the complete record of what the AI agent was asked to do, what it did at each step, and what happened. Kane CLI launched in April 2026, giving developers and AI coding agents a way to run tests on real browsers and mobile apps from the terminal, in plain English, with a clear pass-or-fail verdict. Since launch, it has added AI-powered test case generation and the Assurance Lifecycle, which ties tests back to requirement documents. Evidence packs are the next step: a full record of every run. As AI agents write and run more tests, engineering teams need a clear answer to a simple question: what exactly did the agent do, and why did the run pass or fail? That proof is often spread across screenshots, log folders, and d

The partnership with EUROAPI advances that approach. Under the new strategic partnership, Medisca becomes EUROAPI’s first strategic distribution partner focused on bringing its European-manufactured APIs to the North American compounding market. The collaboration includes exclusive supply arrangements for selected APIs and creates a framework to expand the offering ove
iQmetrix Launches Vendor Managed Inventory Integration with Valor Communication7.10.2026 16:00:00 CEST | Press Release
iQmetrix, the global provider of Intelligent Commerce Operating Systems for telecom, is launching a Vendor Managed Inventory integration with Valor Communication, a factory-direct wireless accessory manufacturer and distributor serving carriers, retailers, and dealers since 1997. Built into the iQmetrix Intelligent Commerce Operating System, the integration connects Valor's assortment directly to the platform telecom retailers already run their business on – so replenishment runs on real sell-through data instead of guesswork, and approved accessories move from Valor's floor to the peg without manual reordering. The integration will be available to retailers across the iQmetrix client base. The addition of Valor Communication marks another step in the rapid expansion of the iQmetrix Partner Ecosystem, bringing clients a growing network of integrated partners that work natively inside the platform they already run their business on.
