The Open Group Releases OSDU® Data Platform Standard, Version 1.0

 SAN FRANCISCO - Tuesday, 09. June 2026 AETOSWire  

The new standard provides a stable, interoperable foundation for data management across the energy ecosystem

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Open Group, the global vendor‑neutral technology consortium, today announced the release of the OSDU® Data Platform Standard, Version 1.0. The new standard establishes a stable, clearly defined baseline for data platform capabilities, supporting greater interoperability, consistency, and confidence across the energy industry.

The OSDU Data Platform Standard, Version 1.0 is designed to help organizations better manage, access, and use enterprise data by reducing fragmentation and breaking down data silos. It provides a common framework for organizing and accessing data securely and efficiently, supporting improved collaboration, innovation, and decision‑making.

Key benefits of the standard include interoperability by design, increased stability for application development and deployment, and a clear foundation for certification. Operators benefit from greater choice and reduced integration effort, independent software vendors can develop against a defined standard, and platform providers gain a transparent pathway to demonstrate conformance through certification.

“As the industry pushes for faster innovation, the ability to access and use trusted data across systems becomes a business imperative,” said Steve Nunn, President and CEO, The Open Group. “The OSDU® Data Platform Standard, Version 1.0 establishes a clearly defined baseline for secure, efficient data access and interoperability, helping organizations streamline platform decisions and accelerate deployment.”

“The publication of Version 1.0 marks an important milestone,” said Stef Jacobs, Chair of The Open Group OSDU® Forum. “It reflects the continued collaboration of operators, suppliers, and technology partners working to advance open, standards‑based data platforms for the energy industry.”

Version 1.0 represents a well‑defined subset of existing OSDU Data Platform capabilities, specifying consistent behavior for a defined set of APIs. By focusing on tested and demonstrated functionality, the standard provides organizations with a predictable interface between applications and conformant OSDU Data Platform implementations, enabling reliable integration across cloud providers and vendor applications.

The standard is intentionally not tied to a specific community implementation release. Instead, it lags ongoing open‑source development to ensure capabilities have reached sufficient maturity, providing the industry with a stable, certifiable foundation while allowing continued innovation within the OSDU Forum ecosystem.

The Estée Lauder Companies Strengthens UK Manufacturing Network as Whitman Facility Celebrates 60 Years of British Craftsmanship

 (BUSINESS WIRE)--As The Estée Lauder Companies’ (NYSE: EL) Whitman manufacturing facility celebrates its 60th anniversary, the company today announced a strategic investment that will strengthen its UK manufacturing network, further reinforcing its long-standing commitment to British craftsmanship, innovation, and growth in prestige fragrance.

Established in 1966, Whitman is a strategic part of The Estée Lauder Companies’ global manufacturing network, producing skin care and fragrance products for brands including Jo Malone London, Estée Lauder, Clinique, and La Mer. Today, the site produces more than 90 million units annually for distribution across the UK, Europe, and other select markets worldwide.

“For sixty years, Whitman has reflected the craftsmanship, quality, and innovation that have defined The Estée Lauder Companies since my grandparents founded the business,” said William P. Lauder, Chair of the Board of Directors, The Estée Lauder Companies. “When my family established our manufacturing footprint here in 1966, we recognized the remarkable depth of British artisanal skill, and we are proud to continue investing in that legacy today.”

As The Estée Lauder Companies continues to invest in Whitman’s future, the company will integrate select luxury candle and home fragrance capabilities from long-standing partner and creator of luxury candles and scent diffusers, Contract Candles, into its UK manufacturing operations. This includes assuming the lease of one of Contract Candles’ two UK facilities, welcoming approximately 50 employees into the organization over time, and adding new research and development and quality capabilities.

Following the integration, the UK will serve as the primary manufacturing base for candles across The Estée Lauder Companies’ prestige brand portfolio worldwide, including the Jo Malone London, TOM FORD and AERIN brands. The investment enhances operational control and long-term resilience in a strategically important category while reinforcing the UK as a center of excellence for fragrance craftsmanship and manufacturing.

Speaking during Whitman’s 60th anniversary celebration, Roberto Canevari, Executive Vice President, Chief Value Chain Officer, The Estée Lauder Companies, said: “The UK plays a significant role in our global manufacturing network, and this investment in candle and home fragrance manufacturing reflects our continued commitment to British craftsmanship and innovation. Bringing these activities more closely into our manufacturing network will strengthen resilience and support our ability to continue delivering the exceptional quality and artistry that define our brands."

Home fragrance continues to represent a growth opportunity across The Estée Lauder Companies’ portfolio of fragrance brands, driven by expanding consumer interest in premium scent experiences and elevated home environments. This is particularly notable for Jo Malone London, a quintessentially British brand and the number-one luxury home fragrance brand in the UK across home scents and fragrance ancillaries. Six of the UK’s top 10 home fragrance franchises also belong to Jo Malone London.* The brand’s iconic candles are expertly crafted in the UK — reflecting a longstanding commitment to British craftsmanship and artisanal expertise.

The integration of these activities further strengthens The Estée Lauder Companies’ manufacturing ecosystem and reinforces the company’s commitment to resilient, high-quality UK manufacturing within its broader global manufacturing network.

Since fiscal 2020, The Estée Lauder Companies has invested $72 million in its Whitman facility across automation, quality systems, sustainability initiatives, and advanced manufacturing capabilities, alongside apprenticeship and STEM outreach programs in partnership with local universities.

Cursor Announces EMEA Office and Team Expansion to Meet Regional Demand

 London headquarters will open this summer and grow to approximately 200 employees by year-end as EMEA becomes Cursor's fastest-growing region

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cursor, the leading multi-model AI coding platform, today announced the establishment of dedicated teams to serve the EMEA region. The expansion responds to regional momentum, with EMEA revenue tripling quarter over quarter this year.

The Cursor EMEA team will support a rapidly expanding customer base that includes British Airways, BP, Deliveroo, Nokia, Sanofi and many other leading enterprises across the region. Cursor expects to grow its EMEA headcount to approximately 200 employees by the end of the year, hiring across go-to-market, engineering, customer success and operations.

“We’re incredibly excited to officially launch Cursor across EMEA and deepen our commitment to customers and partners throughout Europe. As the leading AI coding company, our goal is simple: be closer to the teams building the future and help enterprises accelerate their most strategic AI and software development initiatives,” said Ismail Elmas, SVP of EMEA for Cursor. “This launch covers all major European markets and reflects the growing demand we’re seeing from organizations ready to put AI at the center of how they build.”

As Cursor expands across EMEA, it is investing in regional specific capabilities to support the compliance needs of local enterprises. This is especially critical for organizations in highly regulated industries, where data locality, privacy, and regulatory compliance are essential to deploying AI tooling at scale.

“As a global leader in connectivity for the AI era, Nokia is building the datacenter, transport, mobile and fixed networks that connect billions of people worldwide,” said Pallavi Mahajan, Chief Technology and AI Officer, Nokia. “Empowering more than 20,000 engineers on Cursor was not just a productivity decision; it was a strategic decision about the kind of engineering organization we want to be. Our teams are directing AI agents across some of the world’s most complex codebases, helping Nokia move faster and operate more efficiently.”

Cursor's growth reflects a broader shift in how engineering organizations adopt AI tooling. Enterprises across financial services, life sciences, energy, professional services, and consumer technology are turning to Cursor to boost developer productivity, reduce time-to-ship, and modernize their software development workflows.

“Adopting AI coding tools touches workflows, governance, and how teams actually deliver,” said Cameron Cronin, Global CTO, Salesforce Business Group, Accenture. “Our work with Cursor lets us bring that adoption to clients with the implementation and advisory support needed to make it stick, so enterprises can accelerate development without compromising on quality or control.”

Beyond the platform itself, Cursor is building the local teams and partner ecosystem that make adoption successful — people who understand regional markets and partners ready to support enterprises on the ground. It's a long-term commitment to the organizations shaping the future of software in Europe.

Ces missions ont permis de mettre en relation des entreprises établies à Dubaï avec des partenaires stratégiques à travers le continent africain. Elles ont réuni 45 sociétés basées à Dubaï, représentant un large éventail de secteurs d’activité. Conçues pour accompagner l’expansion internationale des entreprises opérant depuis Dubaï, ces rencontres ont favorisé l’identification de nouvelles perspectives de croissance et contribué au renforcement des relations commerciales et des partenariats d’investissement avec les acteurs économiques africains.

La Chambre a organisé 276 rencontres d’affaires bilatérales au Ghana, 510 en Éthiopie et 674 en Afrique du Sud. Dans le cadre de ces missions, elle a également tenu des forums économiques dans chacun de ces marchés, réunissant au total 1 721 participants, parmi lesquels figuraient de hauts responsables gouvernementaux, des dirigeants d’entreprise et des représentants du secteur privé local.

S.E.
