BARCELONA, Spain, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mobility thinker Lukas Neckermann, Spain’s Secretary General for Innovation Teresa Riesgo and Axel Volkery, from the European Commission’s DG MOVE, will be among the headline speakers at Tomorrow.Mobility World Congress (TMWC), to be held from 3-5 November at Fira de Barcelona’s Gran Via venue. Co-organised by Fira de Barcelona and EIT Urban Mobility, an initiative of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, a body of the European Union, the congress will bring together more than 240 experts from cities, governments and companies to accelerate the shift to sustainable urban mobility.  

Neckermann, who coined the term “The Mobility Revolution” with his first book, is co-founder of the Urban Places Lab and author of four books. Teresa Riesgo, Secretary General for Innovation at the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities and President of the CDTI, will join a roundtable on how mobility innovators can navigate an era of uncertainty. Axel Volkery, Head of the Innovation and Urban Mobility unit at DG MOVE, will discuss how public transport must evolve with changing user habits to remain attractive, accessible and relevant. 

Other confirmed speakers include Daryl Barron, Lord Mayor of Dublin; Karen Vancluysen, Secretary General of POLIS; Lisandro Perotti, Undersecretary for Mobility Management and Control of Buenos Aires; Toks Omishakin, Secretary of the California State Transportation Agency; and Tanja Dik, CEO of the Johan Cruijff Arena. 

Public transport, the backbone of the daily commuteA survey by EIT Urban Mobility among 1,503 adults in Barcelona, Munich and Bucharest places public transport at the heart of urban life: 56% of respondents use it to commute to work or study, ahead of car-based transport (52%), and those who do are twice as likely to include walking in their journey. Safety, reliability and comfort are what commuters value most. 

The largest gaps between what commuters value and what they experience concern traffic density for car users and service reliability for public transport, and more than two in five respondents (41%) say they feel completely drained when they arrive home. The challenge for cities, and for the congress, is to share knowledge and explore innovative solutions for more liveable cities. 

TMWC will be held alongside Smart City Expo World Congress, Tomorrow.Blue Economy, the Barcelona Deep Tech Summit and the Barcelona Cybersecurity Congress, which together will gather more than 1,100 exhibitors and over 27,000 attendees.

I dati preliminari dell’Osservatorio Turistico Regionale e dell’Università Ca’ Foscari restituiscono un bilancio solido per la stagione estiva del 2026 in Toscana. Tra i mesi di maggio e luglio la regione ha registrato 6,25 milioni di arrivi e oltre 22 milioni di presenze, includendo nel conteggio le locazioni turistiche brevi. I flussi mostrano una sostanziale stabilità rispetto all’anno precedente, evidenziando una prevalenza della componente straniera che supera il 60% del totale.

L’analisi dei movimenti, mappata attraverso il monitoraggio delle celle telefoniche per il quadrimestre da maggio ad agosto, evidenzia differenti comportamenti di viaggio in base alla provenienza. Mentre la domanda internazionale rimane prevalentemente concentrata su Firenze e sull’area fiorentina, i turisti italiani scelgono il capoluogo ma mostrano una spiccata preferenza anche per le mete balneari, con la Costa degli Etruschi in prima linea. L’indice di pernottamento indica che nei mesi di giugno e luglio la regione ha intercettato l’11% delle presenze internazionali e il 9% di quelle domestiche registrate sull’intero territorio nazionale. Per quanto riguarda i visitatori italiani, la quota di chi ha scelto la Toscana nei mesi centrali risulta in aumento rispetto al 2025.

Nonostante le temperature elevate, la spesa turistica si è mantenuta solida. L’avvio di stagione è stato trainato da maggio, che ha registrato un incremento della spesa del 12% rispetto allo stesso mese del 2025. Dopo un mese di giugno stabile, luglio e agosto hanno segnato rispettivamente un +4% e un +1%. Un dinamismo economico particolarmente marcato si è osservato nelle destinazioni costiere, dove la spesa estiva è cresciuta a ritmi superiori rispetto alla media nazionale.

Il gradimento complessivo dei viaggiatori, calcolato attraverso le recensioni online, si attesta su un indice di 87/100, in crescita dello 0,8% rispetto all’estate 2025. Le strutture ricettive vengono premiate per la posizione e la cortesia del personale, la ristorazione convince per la qualità dell’enogastronomia e le attrazioni culturali ricevono alti consensi. Tra le criticità segnalate dai visitatori figurano invece i tempi di attesa nei periodi di maggiore afflusso e le valutazioni sul rapporto qualità-prezzo.

L’assessore regionale a economia, turismo e agricoltura Leonardo Marras ha commentato i risultati sottolineando l’importanza di distribuire meglio i flussi: “La sfida è consolidare questi risultati distribuendo meglio i flussi nel tempo e nei territori, sostenendo la qualità dell’offerta e affrontando le criticità segnalate dai visitatori, a partire dalle attese nei periodi di punta e dal rapporto qualità-prezzo”.

BROOMFIELD, Colo., Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Quantinuum (NASDAQ: QNT), a leading full-stack quantum computing company, today announced a world-record quantum error-correction result, achieving a logical fidelity of 99.9995% on its Helios commercial computer using the company’s error-correction architecture. This marks Quantinuum’s second breakthrough in two months, demonstrating how its highly accurate trapped-ion hardware and flexible architecture work together to deliver rapid improvements in accuracy. 

The achievement reinforces Quantinuum’s error-correction leadership and validates that its accuracy performance is now within the target range for Apollo, the company’s planned universal fault-tolerant quantum computer expected to be available by 2029. 

Quantinuum’s architecture is an end-to-end framework programmable through the company’s developer platform. It integrates tailored AI decoders, all-to-all qubit connectivity, high-fidelity physical operations, and hardware-level error correction. This architecture also allows the company to test, refine, and combine different error-correction codes and optimize between accuracy and efficiency. 

In the latest study, Quantinuum used a well-known ‘color code’ within this architecture to achieve the world-record logical fidelity result, which is equivalent to just five errors per million operations. The error rate is 10 times lower than Quantinuum’s own world record achieved last month and 100 times lower than the best published result across all other hardware modalities, which was reported by Google Quantum AI on a superconducting system. 

“With this result, we’ve proven that we have the error-correction architecture and trapped-ion technology required to achieve universal fault-tolerance,” said Dr. Rajeeb Hazra, CEO of Quantinuum. “We have reduced error rates tenfold in rapid succession using a different code on the same commercial hardware, demonstrating the flexibility of our error-correction architecture. We’ve crossed the threshold necessary for exponential improvements in accuracy, reinforcing our path to Apollo and how we can help users unlock commercial value from quantum at scale.” 

The study also showed that logical errors fell exponentially as Quantinuum increased the ‘code distance,’ a technique used to understand how many physical qubits are needed to protect quantum information as the error correction scales. Each tested increase reduced the remaining logical errors by a record factor of 12, demonstrating increasingly effective error suppression as the code grows—a critical capability for scaling fault-tolerant quantum computing. Quantinuum believes this result suggests it can deliver fault-tolerance with significantly fewer qubits than are required for other modalities. 

“This is a significant milestone that quantum computing researchers have been working toward for many years,” said Robin Blume-Kohout, Co-director of Sandia National Laboratories’ Quantum Performance Lab, who was not involved in the study. “The paper demonstrates real, serious performance gains from quantum error correction—a logical qubit nearly 100x better than its component physical qubits. A scaled-up version of this system could reach the reliability required for useful fault-tolerant computation at a feasible size—less than a million physical qubits—which improves the outlook for practical quantum computing. These findings go a long way to retire one of the field’s central technical risks.” 

In September 2026, Quantinuum used the same error-correction architecture with its Helix code to demonstrate record-setting logical memory and computation. Both studies ran on the same Helios hardware. 

The two demonstrations illustrate how Quantinuum can rapidly prototype different error-correction codes within the same architecture to optimize for relative strengths in accuracy, efficiency, and speed. On Helios, Helix used 10 physical qubits per logical qubit, compared with up to 37 for the color code, while the color code delivered lower logical error rates. This provides insight into which applications pair best with each code as systems advance toward fault-tolerance. 

Quantinuum’s error-correction architecture is flexible, allowing for adaptive syndrome extraction, which adjusts error-checking measurements during computation, and chain-mapping, which connects codes suited to different computational tasks. Together with efficient code structures and real-time decoding, these techniques provide multiple ways to reduce errors and resource requirements. 

Quantinuum is combining its hardware, error-correction architecture, and full-stack software platform into an integrated system for fault-tolerant quantum computing. As customers prepare for this next era of computing, Quantinuum is providing the tools needed to develop and scale quantum applications capable of addressing challenges across materials science, chemistry, finance, logistics, and other critical sectors.

PORTO, Portugal, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Athena Technology Solutions, a Fremont, California-based Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) implementation specialist founded in 2011 with about 200 people in the U.S. and India, is expanding into Europe and opens its first European office in Porto. 

Porto will host sales, project delivery, customer support and leadership for the European operation. Athena starts with six employees in Portugal, plans to reach 20 within its first year and aims to build a team of 100 within five years. The company aims to secure at least five clients by the end of its fiscal year in December. 

“Europe is a natural next step for Athena. MES business happens in the U.S., Europe and Asia, and we need to be where the business is,” said Senthil Ranganathan, Athena founder and CEO. “In Porto, we found the talent to start quickly, a technology ecosystem that fits the industries we serve and our partners within easy reach. This is where our European operation starts, and where it will be run from.” 

Sachi Javli, managing director and head of global delivery, leads the European operation. Athena is recruiting project managers, program managers, developers and sales professionals in Portugal and other European markets. 

From Porto, Athena provides MES selection, implementation, integration and support, as well as PLM, ERP and Managed Services, to large, multi-site, multinational manufacturers in semiconductors, electronics, medical devices, solar, batteries and other high-tech discrete manufacturing. Its technology partners include Critical Manufacturing, of which it is a Premier Services Partner; Siemens, for which it is an Alliance Partner on the Opcenter MES platform; and Twinzo, as an Authorized Reseller. 

Athena will also bring FabOrchestrator.AI™, the agentic AI orchestration layer for manufacturing operations it introduced this year, to European manufacturers. 

“Manufacturers don’t invest in an MES for the software. They invest in it to hit their quality, throughput, compliance and performance goals,” said Javli. “With a team in Porto, close to our partners and to the manufacturers we want to serve, and with our delivery centers in India behind us, we are fully capable from day one for any project or proposal.” 

Athena may open a satellite office in Germany as the business grows.

Secondo le previsioni, i temporali potranno essere accompagnati da nubifragi e forti raffiche di vento, con accumuli di pioggia fino a 60-80 millimetri e intensità che potranno raggiungere i 30-40 millimetri all’ora.

Dal pomeriggio di martedì sono inoltre attesi venti di scirocco con raffiche fino a 80-100 chilometri orari. Il mare sarà molto mosso, fino ad agitato al largo.

La situazione meteorologica resta sotto osservazione. La Protezione civile regionale potrebbe innalzare il livello di allerta da giallo ad arancione in occasione del prossimo bollettino, previsto nella tarda mattinata di martedì 20 ottobre.

Al momento, tuttavia, per Livorno e Gorgona resta confermato il codice giallo nella fascia oraria dalle 15 alle 24. Eventuali aggiornamenti saranno pubblicati sul sito del Centro Funzionale Regionale della Toscana.
In vista del peggioramento delle condizioni meteorologiche, la Protezione civile invita i cittadini a prestare particolare attenzione agli spostamenti e alle situazioni potenzialmente pericolose.

In caso di forti piogge, è importante evitare l’attraversamento di strade allagate e sottopassi, anche quando il livello dell’acqua sembra contenuto. La corrente potrebbe essere più intensa di quanto appaia e le precipitazioni potrebbero provocare lo spostamento dei tombini.

Si raccomanda inoltre di non sostare lungo gli argini dei corsi d’acqua, sui ponti e sulle passerelle, prestando attenzione anche alle strade dove l’acqua si è già ritirata. Per cantine, garage e altri locali sotto il livello stradale è consigliato predisporre, dove possibile, protezioni contro eventuali infiltrazioni o allagamenti.

In caso di vento forte, occorre fare attenzione soprattutto alla presenza di alberi, strutture temporanee, coperture e oggetti che potrebbero cadere dall’alto, come tegole, vasi e cornicioni.

La Protezione civile raccomanda di mettere in sicurezza gli oggetti esposti alle raffiche, guidare con prudenza e limitare, quando possibile, le attività all’aperto e gli spostamenti.

I cittadini sono infine invitati a seguire gli aggiornamenti ufficiali della Protezione civile e le comunicazioni sulla viabilità, considerando la possibilità di variazioni del livello di allerta nelle prossime ore.

Il nuovo locale propone una selezione di vini e prodotti gastronomici, affiancati da specialità alimentari e proposte meno comuni. Tra le curiosità annunciate c’è anche il miele della spiaggia, un prodotto che dovrebbe arrivare prossimamente sugli scaffali.

L’apertura si inserisce in una fase di cambiamento per via Buontalenti, dove negli ultimi tempi hanno trovato spazio altre attività: il Bacaro, il Piccolo Caseificio e un nuovo negozio di scarpe. Realtà diverse, dalla ristorazione al commercio al dettaglio, che si affiancano ai negozi storici e contribuiscono a mantenere viva una zona del centro penalizzata dal cantiere del Mercato.

A sottolineare il valore delle nuove aperture è Federico Pieragnoli, direttore generale di Confcommercio Livorno, che si è congratulato con il titolare di EddiVino.

“Per via Buontalenti il percorso di recupero resta ancora aperto, ma la scelta di nuovi imprenditori di insediarsi nella strada rappresenta un segnale incoraggiante”, ha dichiarato Pieragnoli.

Il direttore generale ha richiamato anche l’importanza delle attività commerciali per la vita quotidiana del quartiere: “La presenza di negozi e pubblici esercizi, oltre a offrire servizi e opportunità di acquisto, contribuisce infatti a mantenere vissuti gli spazi urbani, contrastando il rischio di impoverimento commerciale del centro”.

La nuova vinoteca rappresenta così un ulteriore investimento in una strada che cerca di recuperare la propria attrattività. La ripresa commerciale di via Buontalenti resta una sfida aperta, anche in vista della piena riapertura del Mercato Centrale, ma le nuove attività costituiscono un primo segnale di fiducia nelle potenzialità della zona.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The insurance industry is at a tipping point as customer expectations are rising, regulatory requirements are ongoing, and AI is reshaping the competitive landscape. Yet property and casualty (P&C) insurers are still trapped in inefficiency as claims adjusters are left searching across disconnected systems for documents, underwriters are wasting time on manual processes instead of writing business, and billing teams are managing collections without centralized visibility. These fragmented, siloed operations cost time, money, and ultimately customer experience. 

This is why Hyland today announced Hyland for Guidewire, a set of ready-to-deploy cloud integrations validated by Guidewire and available on Guidewire Marketplace. These solutions connect the Hyland Content Innovation Cloud™ with Guidewire core insurance applications (Guidewire ClaimCenter, PolicyCenter, and BillingCenter) giving P&C insurers the unified content foundation they need to operate faster, smarter and at scale. 

“P&C insurers using Guidewire are modernizing how they operate, but they’re often doing it on fragmented content foundations that ultimately slow their business down,” said Kathy Hrach, vice president of insurance product management at Hyland. “Together with Guidewire, we’re solving this critical gap, empowering insurers with the technology solutions they need without costly and time-consuming content migrations and custom builds. This integration is about removing friction from every step of the claims, underwriting, and billing process so our insurance customers can focus on what matters: making fast, sound decisions and delivering better customer experiences.” 

Breaking the Fragmentation Trap 

Hyland for Guidewire is a set of pre-built, validated integrations that reduces the time, cost, and complexity of custom development. Using Hyland Content Federation Service, the integration connects OnBase on-premises customers to the Content Innovation Cloud and Guidewire applications, with no content migration required. This gives adjusters, underwriters, and billing teams immediate access to the documents and data they need without leaving the Guidewire interface. 

The results are transformational: 

Rather than forcing costly, time-consuming content migration, Hyland for Guidewire leverages Content Federation Service to create a unified view of content across systems. Whether insurers are using Hyland OnBase on-premises, in the cloud, or across both environments, Hyland for Guidewire bridges the gap without the burden of content migration. 

The Path Forward: Content as Competitive Strategy 

For P&C insurers using or considering Guidewire, the message is clear: content infrastructure modernization isn’t optional. It is the foundation of modern insurance operations. 

Insurers that consolidate fragmented content, unify access, and build AI-enabled automation will operate faster, spend less, and compete more effectively. 

Hyland for Guidewire is available starting today on Guidewire Marketplace. Connect with Hyland at Guidewire Connections, October 26-29, at booth CM-G3.For more information on capabilities, implementation, and how to evaluate fit for your organization, visit Hyland.com.

Available to SunPower Partners in residential and commercial formats, with first deliveries expected before the end of 2026.  

LYON, France, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TCL SunPower Global, a global leader in solar energy solutions, today opened orders across Europe for SunPower Origin, a new solar panel line built on the eighth generation of SunPower’s back-contact cell. SunPower pioneered its back-contact technology four decades ago and has been mass-producing it for more than twenty years. It holds more than 1,600 solar patents and has deployed more than 15 GW of back-contact panels worldwide. SunPower Partners can order Origin now. First deliveries are expected before the end of 2026. 

“Back-contact is where solar mass market is heading, but very few companies can manufacture it at scale. We were the first to put it into commercial production, in 2004, and Origin is our eighth generation,” said Steven Zhang, General Manager, TCL SunPower Global. “Previous generations went onto real roofs and taught us something: about micro-cracks, about behaviour in shade, about what happens to a solder joint after twenty summers. That’s what you can’t buy by switching a production line over. Because we know how these cells age, we can put a 40-year warranty on the panel, and the TCL Group’s vertically integrated supply chain and financial strength stand behind it.” 

Origin places all electrical contacts on the back of the cell, leaving the front free to collect light. The cells are patterned using lithography rather than laser processing, a method that TCL SunPower says reduces micro-cracks, and are joined by solder that withstands temperatures of up to 220°C. Shade is the hardest test for any panel: a chimney, a vent or a layer of leaves forces current through the shaded cell and heats it. A 54-cell Origin panel behaves as if it had more than 16,000 bypass diodes, so the shaded cell stays below 100°C and the rest of the panel keeps producing. Origin is certified Class A+ for shading resistance by TÜV Rheinland, and its broader spectral response helps output in the morning, the evening and under cloud. 

“We describe SunPower Origin as the original, the safest, and the strongest,” said Karin Alberto-Burkhardt, Director PV Product Management, TCL SunPower Global. “Original, because SunPower was the first to industrialize back-contact cell technology in 2004 and has since built one of the industry’s broadest IP portfolios. Origin represents the eighth generation of this technology platform. Safest, because its back-contact architecture is engineered for superior thermal and mechanical reliability, minimizing hot-spot risk under partial shading while maintaining robust cell interconnections over time. Strongest, because the technology is backed by a 40-year warranty from a company with the scale, heritage, and financial strength to stand behind it. With Origin, installers deploy technology proven over decades, not an experiment.” 

Across its 15 GW of installed capacity, SunPower reports a warranty return rate of 0.005%, based on an internal claims analysis conducted in June 2026. A study presented at the IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference, drawing on 3.2 million module-years of field data, supports the company’s reported average degradation of less than 0.25% per year. Origin is warranted at that same level, with degradation not exceeding 0.25% per year, and has a temperature coefficient of -0.26%/°C. 

Origin carries a complete 40-year warranty covering the product, its power output and service. The warranty is supported by SunPower’s legal entities in its main European markets, as well as by the company’s long track record of installing back-contact panels and monitoring their degradation and return rates. It is also backed by the financial strength of the TCL Group. TCL SunPower is recognized as a Tier 1 module manufacturer by BloombergNEF (Q3 2026). 

The residential panel has 54 cells in a 1,800 × 1,134 mm frame and delivers up to 505 W at up to 24.7% efficiency, fully black. The commercial panel has 66 cells, measures 2,192 × 1,134 mm and delivers up to 615 W. It is bifacial, with up to 80% bifaciality, collecting reflected light on its rear side, and suits commercial roofs where vents, HVAC units, and corners limit how many panels fit. 

SunPower Origin is available now to SunPower Partners across Europe. For more information about SunPower Origin, visit https://www.sunpowerglobal.com/uk/homeowners/products/sunpower-origin-back-contact-solar-panels.

I am confident that Angela will build on this legacy and lead Viralgen into its next exciting chapter.” 

Angela Ochoa Chico brings nearly twenty years of international experience across pharmaceutical operations, quality, manufacturing, strategy, and organizational transformation.

“I am delighted to join Viralgen at such an important stage in its evolution,” said Angela Ochoa Chico. “Viralgen has built an outstanding reputation for scientific excellence, quality, and innovation, supported by an exceptionally talented team. I look forward to building on these strong foundations, advancing our manufacturing capabilities, and further strengthening Viralgen’s position as a trusted gene therapy manufacturing partner, guided by a clear purpose to help bring transformative therapies to the patients who need them. Over the coming months, I will work closely with Jimmy and the Viralgen team to ensure a smooth transition into the CEO role.”

Cernusco sul Naviglio, 19 ottobre 2026 – PENNY Italia inaugura due nuovi punti vendita a Legnano (MI) e Sinalunga (SI), rafforzando la propria presenza in Lombardia e Toscana. Entrambi gli store nascono da interventi di riqualificazione urbana e offrono spazi moderni, accessibili e funzionali, pensati per rispondere alle esigenze quotidiane delle comunità locali. 

Il nuovo punto vendita di Legnano, situato in Viale Toselli 59 affianca lo store PENNY già presente in Via per Villa Cortese, consolidando la presenza dell’insegna in città. Il progetto ha permesso di recuperare un’area precedentemente destinata ad attività produttive, attraverso la realizzazione di un nuovo edificio commerciale, di un piccolo fabbricato produttivo e di un giardino pubblico di oltre 400 metri quadrati. 

La struttura si sviluppa su una superficie complessiva di circa 1.259 metri quadrati, di cui 879 destinati all’area vendita, e dispone di 59 posti auto. All’interno dello store i clienti possono trovare un’offerta completa per la spesa quotidiana, arricchita da Bake Off, Macelleria Self PENNY, Gastronomia Servita PENNY e Punto Caldo.

Il punto vendita sarà aperto dal lunedì al sabato dalle ore 7.30 alle ore 20.30 e la domenica dalle ore 8.00 alle ore 20.00. 

Il nuovo PENNY di Sinalunga, in Via Piave, 12, sostituisce lo storico store presente a Sinalunga da oltre venticinque anni. Il progetto ha permesso di recuperare un complesso produttivo inutilizzato dai primi anni Duemila, mantenendo invariati i volumi esistenti e senza consumo di nuovo suolo. 

La struttura sorge su un lotto di oltre 6.800 metri quadrati e si sviluppa su una superficie utile lorda di circa 1.450 metri quadrati, di cui oltre 935 destinati all’area vendita. All’interno dello store i clienti possono trovare un’offerta completa per la spesa quotidiana, arricchita da Bake Off e Macelleria Self PENNY. L’intervento comprende inoltre 168 pannelli fotovoltaici, parcheggi con pavimentazioni drenanti, 24 nuovi alberi ad alto fusto e 30 posti dedicati alle biciclette. 

«Con questo progetto rinnoviamo il nostro impegno verso Sinalunga e verso le persone che ci scelgono ogni giorno, offrendo un negozio più moderno ed efficiente, senza rinunciare alla vicinanza che da sempre caratterizza il rapporto tra PENNY e la comunità locale», afferma Filippo Ferruzzi, National Sales Manager, Area Centro Nord di PENNY Italia. 

Il punto vendita sarà aperto dal lunedì al sabato dalle ore 8.00 alle ore 20.00 e la domenica dalle ore 8.30 alle ore 13.00 e dalle ore 15.30 alle ore 20.00.

FIRENZE – La Sala Pegaso di Palazzo Strozzi Sacrati a Firenze ha ospitato lunedì 19 ottobre la cerimonia di consegna del Pegaso per lo Sport, la massima onorificenza attribuita dalla Regione Toscana agli atleti che si sono distinti nelle competizioni internazionali. A ricevere il riconoscimento sono stati i cinque medagliati toscani reduci dai recenti Campionati europei di atletica leggera disputati a Birmingham, nel Regno Unito.

Durante l’appuntamento, il presidente della Regione Eugenio Giani ha conferito il premio a Larissa Iapichino, medaglia d’oro nel salto in lungo, e ad Andrea Cosi, medaglia di bronzo nella marcia. Il riconoscimento è stato assegnato anche agli altri tre atleti saliti sul podio nella manifestazione britannica: Leonardo Fabbri e Andy Díaz Hernández, entrambi medaglia d’oro rispettivamente nel lancio del peso e nel salto triplo, e Sofia Fiorini, oro nella marcia, a cui il premio verrà consegnato prossimamente.

“Consegnare questo Pegaso dello Sport è un momento di grande soddisfazione, oltre che un atto di gratitudine da parte della comunità toscana per le medaglie conquistate a Birmingham, che danno prestigio alla nostra regione e portano avanti la lunga tradizione sportiva della Toscana”, ha dichiarato il presidente Eugenio Giani, ricordando i traguardi raggiunti dai presenti e sottolineando la crescita sportiva e personale dei giovani atleti.

Visibilmente soddisfatta la saltatrice delle Fiamme Oro Larissa Iapichino, attuale numero uno del ranking mondiale nel salto in lungo: “Da toscana ricevo questo premio con grandissimo orgoglio, quindi ringrazio per aver pensato a me. Questo è stato un anno ricco di risultati, anche se credo che si possa sempre migliorare. Da un anno a questa parte ho un ricostruito Larissa come atleta e come persona e sono molto contenta di essere riuscita a raccogliere i frutti del lavoro che ho fatto in pista e fuori”.

Parole di ringraziamento anche da parte del marciatore dell’Arma dei Carabinieri Andrea Cosi, che ha commentato il riconoscimento dopo una stagione complessa: “Sono molto felice di ricevere questo premio dalla Regione e dal presidente Giani, è un bel riconoscimento. Questa estate a Birmingham ho fatto un buon risultato e spero di poter continuare così e di onorare al massimo questo premio. La medaglia di bronzo è arrivata dopo un anno non facilissimo, ma già abbiamo iniziato a lavorare per la prossima stagione, all’orizzonte ci sono una Coppa Europa e un Mondiale e l’obiettivo è fare bene e cercare di arrivare più in alto possibile”.

GUANGZHOU, China, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On October 14, 2026, KAILAS hosted BEYOND THE GATE | KAILAS SNOW SEASON OPENING NIGHT in Guangzhou, marking the opening of the 2026/27 ski season. At the event, KAILAS founder Zhong Sir announced that the brand will become the title sponsor of the Freeride World Tour (FWT) China Series for the 2026/27 season, upgrading its partnership with the series from the previous season. 

Unlike resort skiing on groomed slopes, freeride skiing takes place on natural, ungroomed terrain, where athletes assess snow conditions, select their lines and navigate the mountain according to their skills and risk awareness. The FWT China Series is scheduled to feature four FWT Qualifier events at Jikepulin Ski Resort in Hemu, Altay, Xinjiang, during two competition windows: December 9–15, 2026, and February 26–March 3, 2027. The series aims to connect Chinese riders with the international freeride competition pathway. 

Beyond competition, KAILAS is building a broader skiing community through BEYOND THE GATE, connecting skiers with mountain culture, professional guidance and shared experiences. The initiative brings together coaches, guides and mountain skiers through ski lessons, backcountry safety education, experience sharing and destination services, encouraging more people to explore the mountains with knowledge, preparation and respect for the terrain. 

KAILAS continues to support equipment development and real-world testing. Last season, the brand brought its BM45 freeride collection to Hemu for on-snow testing. At the event, KAILAS also showcased its TAIGA ski apparel, designed for extreme cold. The collection combines weather protection and thermal insulation with zoned breathability, a helmet-compatible hood, a powder skirt and RECCO® technology, which helps make wearers searchable by organized rescue teams in the event of an avalanche or when lost outdoors. 

To help skiers navigate mountain environments with greater confidence, KAILAS plans to work with professional coaches and specialists in avalanche safety to provide ski lessons, backcountry safety education and experience-sharing opportunities. The brand is also expanding its destination services in locations such as Songhua Lake and Hemu, connecting skiers with local guides, equipment advice, courses, safety sessions and community activities. 

Through competition partnerships, technical equipment and on-the-ground services, KAILAS seeks to support the growth of freeride skiing in China and help more skiers explore the mountains with knowledge, preparation and respect for the terrain.

Al centro dell’appuntamento ci sarà “Il vivaio circolare”, un percorso educativo e informativo sviluppato all’interno del vivaio delle Paulownie di Scapigliato, con l’obiettivo di far conoscere le caratteristiche della pianta e il suo possibile contributo ai processi di rigenerazione ambientale.

Il progetto prevede la futura messa a dimora di 1.100 esemplari di Paulownia sul territorio. Alcune piante saranno inoltre donate alle scuole, coinvolgendo gli studenti in un’iniziativa dedicata alla conoscenza della natura e alla tutela dell’ambiente.

La mattinata si aprirà con i saluti istituzionali del sindaco di Rosignano Marittimo, Claudio Marabotti, e dell’amministratore unico di Scapigliato, Francesco Girardi, che illustrerà le caratteristiche e le finalità del progetto.

Tra i partecipanti è annunciato David Barontini, assessore all’Ambiente, economia circolare e bonifiche della Regione Toscana. Interverrà anche Piera Levi-Montalcini, presidente della Levi-Montalcini Foundation, con un contributo dedicato al rapporto tra ‘Scienza, natura e comunità’.

Uno degli appuntamenti principali sarà quello con Stefano Mancuso, docente dell’Università di Firenze e direttore dell’International Laboratory of Plant Neurobiology, che affronterà il tema ‘Piante che rigenerano il suolo’.

Sono previsti inoltre altri contributi dedicati alla ricerca, alla natura e ai processi di rigenerazione ambientale.

Nel corso dell’iniziativa si terrà anche la donazione simbolica di una pianta di Paulownia alle scuole del territorio, un gesto pensato per collegare il progetto ambientale alle attività educative.

L’obiettivo del vivaio circolare, secondo quanto illustrato dagli organizzatori, è promuovere un modello basato sulla rigenerazione delle risorse, accompagnando la crescita delle piante in vivaio fino alla loro futura collocazione sul territorio.

La giornata del 20 ottobre sarà quindi l’occasione per conoscere il percorso avviato da Scapigliato e approfondire, attraverso il contributo di ricercatori e rappresentanti istituzionali, il rapporto tra economia circolare, biodiversità e recupero ambientale.
