Students in the BCIT School of Business + Media's Graphic Design program are receiving international recognition after having their work selected for the prestigious International Poster Biennale - Fútbol + Art: A Path to Peace, an exhibition celebrating creativity, cultural exchange, and the unifying power of sport ahead of the FIFA World Cup. Organized by the International Poster Biennial in Mexico City, the competition invited post-secondary institutes from Canada, the United States, and Mexico to explore the theme of football and art as a pathway to peace. From submissions across the three participating countries, only 33 posters were selected from each nation to form a curated exhibition of 99 works that is now touring World Cup host countries across North America.

With support from U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Laboratories, including Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Texas-based company Element3 has launched the first domestic lithium mining project in 50 years. This achievement is likely to have a big impact, turning the United States from a net importer of lithium to a country well on the path to greater energy independence, national security, and economic strength. The milestone, in February 2026, came less than a year after DOE launched the Minerals to Materials Supply Chain Research Facility, or METALLIC, in April 2025. The facility builds on DOE demonstration testbeds to speed technologies that strengthen the nation's supply chain of minerals critical to the technology, transportation, and defense industries. It provides experts and tools to de-risk development of these critical minerals technologies.

AGCO is hitting the road with the 2026 Fendt Harvest Tour, an 11-stop tour that spans six states from Ohio to North Dakota and puts its most technologically advanced combine to work in real fields while celebrating the farmers who power the season. The Fendt Harvest Tour offers a behind-the-scenes look at real harvest conditions, results and the technology reshaping what’s possible in the field. At each stop, farmers will welcome Fendt’s IDEAL combine directly onto their fields, giving them a hands-on opportunity to see how a connected technology ecosystem is game changing. This year’s tour tells “Real Harvest Stories” in the fields of 11 farming families in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and North Dakota. At each location, farmers and their families will put the IDEAL combine to work in varied harvest conditions. The exclusive IDEALdrive joystick steering system gives operators clearer sightlines and less fatigue through long days in the cab. Its 485-bushel grain tank empties in just 81 seconds to keep crews moving through tight harvest windows, while IDEALharvest automation continuously adjusts settings to help protect grain quality from pass to pass.

Scott Technology has launched the NexPAL 200HL, a compact, high-capacity palletizer developed to help manufacturers increase production capacity where floorspace is limited. Developed in response to customers, particularly across Europe and North America, seeking to add throughput capacity within existing production environments, the NexPAL 200HL delivers 35-plus cases per minute across a range of product formats and sizes, while occupying a footprint 25% smaller than most comparable palletizing solutions. “In many established manufacturing facilities, floorspace is at a premium and throughput is fundamental to the economics of the operation,” says Aaron Vanwalleghem, president of materials handling and logistics at Scott Technology. “If end-of-line palletizing can't keep pace with increased production upstream, it can become a bottleneck on the entire operation, hindering growth. Our customers are looking for ways to increase capacity with limited impact on their physical footprint. With the NexPAL 200HL, we focused on putting substantial palletizing capacity into a much smaller space without compromising performance.”

A survey of 181 commercial HVAC service technicians was conducted to test the widely held assumption that field technicians resist digital technology, and to identify what separates the technology they value from the technology they do not. The study found that willingness is not the constraint. It is high and does not vary with tenure: 78% say digital tools make their work easier, 96% want more training, and technicians with more than 10 years in the trade are no less receptive than those with fewer than three. Yet the typical technician reports that technology has helped as much as it has hurt—a net return of zero—and only one in seven works with both the information and the connectivity that deployed software assumes. Technicians consider technology useful when it helps them arrive at the job with key information, and when the technology shortens diagnosis. Technology that makes coordination easier (e.g., paperwork and dispatch, which represents the majority of current field technology) showed inconclusive results on its helpfulness or harm. FTL concludes that technicians benefit most from technology that helps them solve problems in the field.

DXC Technology (DXC) has rolled out new Assure Platform upgrades, including AI-enabled Smart Apps and low-code workflow tools, aimed at helping insurers modernize operations while keeping existing systems in place. DXC Technology shares have picked up short term momentum, with a 1-day share price return of 2.91% and a 90-day share price return of 32.73%. However, the year-to-date share price return is down 12.14% and the 5-year total shareholder return has declined 64.25%. This suggests the market is reassessing execution risks and potential benefits from DXC’s insurance focused AI rollout rather than rewarding long term holders so far. Spot opportunities beyond DXC Technology by scanning a curated set of insurers and AI focused IT providers in the 27 high quality undervalued stocks. DXC Technology has surged in recent weeks, yet long term holders are still nursing steep losses. Is this the start of a broader reset in valuation, or has the easy upside already been taken?

Anthropic has barred users from exhibiting “sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior” toward its models, as the company’s leaders continue to ponder machine consciousness. The Verge first reported the change in policy. A spokesperson for Anthropic, which is behind the AI chatbot Claude, did not immediately respond to an inquiry about what could be considered “abusive or cruel”. In an online user policy, the San Francisco-based company noted that its ban would not apply to common user frustrations, model testing or “dark creative themes”. Anthropic’s usage policy previously contained restrictions on abusive conduct. The company’s large language models have the ability to end a conversation if a user is being persistently harmful. When that feature rolled out last August, the company framed it as a safeguard for AI’s welfare. “We remain highly uncertain about the potential moral status of Claude and other LLMs, now or in the future. However, we take the issue seriously, and alongside our research program we’re working to identify and implement low-cost interventions to mitigate risks to model welfare, in case such welfare is possible.

Firan Technology Group charged into this earnings print with the stock already hot. The share price climbed roughly 60% over the past month and just under 30% in the last week, so expectations were stretched. The report then handed traders exactly the kind of headline that tests discipline. Q3 revenue reached CA$64.1 million and net income hit CA$10.0 million, both record levels, while trailing net profit margin improved to 10.3% from 7.5% a year earlier. The market is now deciding whether this surge in profitability justifies a P/E of 36.3x or reflects investors leaning too hard into momentum. Love the record profitability at Firan Technology Group but uneasy about paying a 36.3x P/E after such a sharp run up? Stress test that setup against 7 high quality undervalued stocks. Q3 2026 Earnings Summary Revenue (Q3 2026 vs. Q3 2025): CA$64.1 million vs. CA$47.7 million (up roughly 34%) Net Income (Q3 2026 vs. Q3 2025): CA$10.0 million vs. CA$2.8 million (very large increase, more than 3x) Basic EPS (Q3 2026 vs. Q3 2025): CA$0.40 per share vs. CA$0.11 per share (very large increase, more than 3x) Net Profit Margin (Trailing 12 Months vs. Prior Year): 10.3% vs.

Truck transportation is essential to modern commerce, but long hours behind the wheel can create serious safety concerns. Driver fatigue can affect attention, reaction time, and decision-making, making it an important issue for transportation companies, regulators, and technology developers. As trucking continues to evolve, technology could play a larger role in identifying fatigue and helping drivers manage their time on the road. At the same time, accidents involving commercial vehicles can create significant financial and legal consequences, making prevention particularly important.
