MCT Technic, internationally recognised for its breakthrough in eco-friendly NOx sensor production, has announced its new role as the naming sponsor for Galatasaray Men’s Basketball Team over the 2025–2026 and 2026–2027 seasons.
Galatasaray Sports Club, Türkiye’s most distinguished multi-sport organisation, has expanded its partnership with MCT Technic, moving beyond the previous season’s jersey back sponsorship to a full naming rights deal. Starting from the 2025–2026 season, the team will compete under the name ‘Galatasaray MCT Technic’.
The agreement showcases MCT Technic’s intention to integrate its environmentally conscious engineering expertise with the socially connective power of sports, as part of a broader effort to influence positive change.
Furkan Yılmaz, Chairman of the Board at MCT Technic, commented: “What began as a jersey back sponsorship last year has evolved into a new chapter where we share Galatasaray’s name. This partnership represents a significant milestone for both our brand and Turkish engineering as a whole.”
Founder Hacı Yılmaz stated: “We established an R&D-focused technology brand years ago. Being associated with an institution as prestigious as Galatasaray today confirms we’re on the right track. We’re proud to bring together the worlds of sports and technology.”

Groundbreaking footwear design unitesmycelium, bacterial nanocellulose, and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), signalling a new era of nature-inspired manufacturing.
Concept shoe debuts at the Future Fabrics Expo, London (24-25 June 2025), inviting industry-wide collaboration in sustainable innovation.
The Korvaa Consortium—a collaboration of biomaterial pioneers, creative designers, and filmmakers—has introduced the world’s first shoe formed from an unprecedented blend of mycelium, bacterial nanocellulose, and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). This concept piece exemplifies how three leading biomaterial technologies can work together, echoing nature’s method of addressing complex design problems through carefully chosen, biologically derived materials.
Pushing beyond traditional manufacturing norms, the Korvaa project fuses science, design, and narrative to reimagine footwear production. Typically, shoes involve over 30 distinct, mostly synthetic materials derived from petrochemicals. In contrast, the Korvaa shoe uses just five materials, each picked for their specific properties and engineered to harmonise seamlessly.
The concept will be showcased at the Future Fabrics Expo in London on 24-25 June 2025, signalling an open invitation to the fashion and materials industries to collaborate on pioneering sustainable solutions.
Here is how each innovator contributed their technological expertise:
The shoe’s upper was made by Modern Synthesis, a company leveraging material science to transform nanocellulose – a natural byproduct of fermentation – into functional and responsible textiles and coatings.
The scaffold for the shoe’s base was 3D printed by Ourobio, a company developing Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), a class of bio-based, biodegradable polyesters that replace petrochemical plastics.
The shoe’s sole was grown in only 7 days by Ecovative, a company specialising in mycelium-based materials, using solid state fermentation to cultivate mycelium through the PHA scaffold.
The shoe was constructed by industry-leading specialists in footwear design and manufacturing, using traditional string-lasting techniques. The laces and support lining are made from cotton and lyocell.
The collaboration was documented by Photino Science Communications, a Finnish science communication company with a focus on synthetic biology, capturing the journey to educate and inspire wider industry adoption.
Jen Keane, CEO and co-founder of Modern Synthesis says, “By combining materials the way nature does – not by adding more, but by choosing better – we’re creating radical design possibilities for the industry. This unlocks unparalleled creative freedom, introducing novel functionalities and forms that simply couldn’t be achieved through conventional means. We’ve developed an artefact that is a tangible blueprint for the future of manufacturing.”
The project will be publicly showcased at the Future Fabrics Expo in London from June 24-25 in the Footwear Hub. The process of creating the shoe will also be shared with the public through a full-length documentary entitled “Planet of the Microbes”, which is expected to debut at a leading film festival later this year.
“This shoe demonstrates what becomes possible when three distinct biological processes work together,” says Ecovative co-founder and CEO Eben Bayer. “Each material was chosen for what it does best – and together they show that biology can manufacture complex products that traditionally require dozens of synthetic inputs. Collaboration like this is how we grow the material support system for a planet that works in harmony with humans.”
Nina Pulkkis, Documentary and Production Lead at Photino, adds, “The first step is developing the technology, the second step is getting the story out there. Documenting this project from the beginning reveals the immense potential that arises when we align nature’s intelligence with human innovation – this is the kind of collaboration that makes you want to be part of the change.”
The material innovators behind this breakthrough invite brands to connect, explore, and collaborate in co-creating the next generation of truly sustainable, functional, and future-fit products.
SafeGuest, the trusted safety platform for hosts and property managers in the short-term rental market, has introduced a free Guest Risk Assessment Tool designed to help hosts identify potentially risky bookings instantly and act accordingly.
Leveraging a sophisticated mix of biometric ID verification, behavioural analysis, and transaction validation, the tool categorises each booking into Green, Yellow, or Red risk levels, providing hosts with a clear safety indication — all at no extra cost.
“For too long, hosts have had to cross their fingers and hope for the best,” said Harry Birks, Founder of SafeGuest. “We’re changing that. Now, any host can know within seconds whether a booking looks safe — and we’ve made it completely free.”
Fully integrated with leading property management systems such as Guesty and Hostfully, the tool fits seamlessly into hosts’ existing workflows. It utilises data gathered during SafeGuest’s extensive verification processes, which include biometric identity checks, payment validations, and behavioural insights.
Free Protection That Prevents Problems
The short-let industry continues to face issues like unauthorised parties, fraudulent bookings, and property damage. SafeGuest’s proactive risk scoring aims to reduce these risks and provide peace of mind. To date, the platform has completed over 100,000 guest verifications worldwide, helping hosts avoid costly incidents.
“We’ve had guests who looked fine on the surface, but SafeGuest flagged them as a high risk. It saved us a nightmare,” said Dee Prior, a Berkshire-based Airbnb superhost.
Alongside the risk scoring, hosts can choose between a refundable damage deposit or a non-refundable waiver, which offers immediate coverage for up to £250 in accidental damages — without any claims hassles.
Setting New Safety Standards in Short-Term Rentals
With increasing regulatory pressures and rising expectations around guest verification, SafeGuest’s tool offers a timely solution for hosts wanting to operate securely and confidently.
“The future of short lets depends on trust — and trust starts with knowing who’s staying in your property,” added Birks. “We built SafeGuest to empower hosts, not charge them for peace of mind.”
About SafeGuest
SafeGuest is the all-in-one guest verification and risk assessment platform for Airbnb hosts and short-let property managers. With ID verification, payment checks, damage protection, and now AI-powered guest scoring, SafeGuest gives hosts the tools they need to operate safely and confidently — all for free.

“Our mission has always been to transform how our cities harness renewable energy and empower communities through the power of a human footstep…” — Laurence Kemball-Cook, CEO and Founder, Pavegen
Crowdfunding investors will be joining a strong institutional consortium that includes the Hinduja Group and Tamar Capital, alongside customers such as Google, Siemens, Saudi Aramco, and the governments of the US and Saudi Arabia.
Prestige Offices, a specialist in premium office space across the capital, has officially relaunched its podcast series, which delves into the rich history of London’s most iconic buildings—many of which now serve as high-end business premises.
First introduced in 2020 and running until 2023, the podcast explored the former lives of some of the capital’s most distinctive properties. Past episodes have featured sites such as elegant Art Deco dance halls and former Michelin tyre depots—now imaginatively converted into stylish office spaces designed for today’s dynamic businesses.
Edward Lewis, Head of Research at Prestige Offices, said: “We ran the podcast for two years during the pandemic and very much enjoyed sharing what we learned about London’s rich history through researching the celebrated buildings now offering first-class business space, and the districts that they sit within.”
Entitled London’s Best Office Spaces – The Links Between London’s Past and the Modern World, The podcast includes episodes on standout sites such as Victoria House in Holborn, the historic Old Bailey, and the Mayfair residence where Queen Elizabeth II was born. Other stories uncover the banking hall tied to the first cheque drawn in the City in 1834, and the evolving district now dominated by The Shard.
The podcast reflects Prestige Offices’ broader mission to connect modern businesses with London’s cultural legacy, by showcasing the character and stories behind the spaces they occupy.
By blending historical research with contemporary media, including podcasting, the agency seeks to add depth and meaning to the office spaces it promotes, giving tenants a richer sense of place and heritage.
Edward Lewis added: “The research team took a hiatus from producing the podcast series whilst significantly upgrading the website by adding several new properties in numerous locations across London. The by-product of the enrichment exercise has been the discovery of a new bounty of fascinating facts. The team is excited to share these findings through the podcast relaunch.”
In this Aitrade24.com review, attention turns to the claims behind one of several AI-driven platforms emerging in the online trading landscape. The Aitrade24.com review assesses the extent to which the advertised automation—predictive analytics, AI-powered risk management, and emotional bias reduction—holds up under scrutiny. The platform claims to offer consistent performance through AI-based strategies in both forex and crypto markets, but the reality of such tools often depends on market conditions and the transparency of the underlying algorithms.
AITrade24 presents itself as a solution for traders seeking precision, speed, and reduced emotional interference in decision-making. Its layered account offerings promote tailored experiences based on user level, while compliance measures like KYC verification and regional restrictions suggest an attempt at regulatory alignment. However, it’s worth examining whether AI-enhanced tools genuinely provide a competitive edge or if they echo features found in other algorithmic platforms under a different name. This article investigates the depth and reliability of AITrade24’s technology claims and the platform’s ability to balance innovation with user accountability.
Key Features of AITrade24 Trading Platform
AITrade24 is designed to combine AI capabilities with real-time trading across multiple markets. Its engine claims to identify trading signals in milliseconds, analyze patterns, and react without human hesitation. Features include smart trade execution, AI-based portfolio adjustments, and emotion-free risk settings.
This system also adapts to shifting conditions, automatically recalibrating strategies based on volatility or market trends. Assets available include forex, crypto, stocks, ETFs, commodities, and options. An account with AITrade24 unlocks access to tailored AI tools, depending on the user’s subscription tier.
While these features suggest a strong technical foundation, it’s the application that ultimately defines the platform’s usefulness, especially in live market conditions.
User Interface
The AITrade24 dashboard presents data in a clear, digestible format. Asset categories are segmented by trading type, while AI-generated signals are displayed alongside traditional indicators. This allows users to compare machine-driven suggestions with their analysis.
The interface supports both desktop and mobile, though some advanced tools are only available on desktop. Notifications and AI performance updates are delivered in real time, helping users stay informed without being overwhelmed by too much data.
Overall, the layout suits traders looking for both automation and oversight. It doesn’t overwhelm, but may be considered limited for those who prefer fully customizable environments.
Fees & Commissions
Fee transparency is a mixed experience on AITrade24. While the platform outlines general cost structure, such as variable spreads and trading commissions, exact fees often depend on the specific asset or account level.
Crypto and options trading generally incur higher fees due to market volatility, while forex spreads remain closer to industry averages. Withdrawal fees and KYC procedures are clearly stated, although processing times can vary. There is no refund policy for losses.
No demo account is available, which makes fee comparison difficult unless users commit real funds. This limits early testing and may be a concern for risk-averse traders.
What You Can Trade on AITrade24
AITrade24 gives users access to major financial markets, including forex, cryptocurrency, commodities, stocks, and ETFs. More advanced traders can also engage in options and AI-curated portfolios. The benefit lies in using one AI engine across all instruments, so users don’t need to switch platforms or strategies.
The AI adjusts based on asset behavior, creating tailored suggestions whether you’re trading gold or Bitcoin. While asset variety is strong, limited historical data visualization and no backtesting options may make strategy-building harder for manual traders.
How AITrade24 Handles Risk Management
The platform relies heavily on machine-based controls to manage downside exposure. From dynamic stop-loss settings to volatility-based reallocation, AITrade24 is built to adapt in real time. As markets move, the AI modifies open positions to protect user capital.
However, the risk management tools are not fully transparent. Users can monitor performance, but may not see the exact metrics or thresholds used in the decision-making process. While helpful for reducing emotional trades, it may limit trust for users who prefer hands-on control.
How AI Adapts Over Time on AITrade24
A major selling point of AITrade24 is that its system is not static. According to the platform, it continuously learns from new data and updates its algorithms. This means that strategies evolve, supposedly improving their success rates with more exposure to live conditions.
The AI reportedly tracks news sentiment, price trends, and macro events to adjust its risk and execution logic. Users are informed of major strategy shifts but aren’t given the full mechanics behind them. This helps newer traders who prefer automation but may frustrate more experienced ones seeking transparency.
For beginners looking for a low-intervention way to trade, AITrade24 might seem like a useful option. The platform automates much of the decision-making and offers support through personalized AI tools, depending on the account type.

Conclusion of the Aitrade24.com Review
This Aitrade24.com review explores the effectiveness of AITrade24’s tools in delivering trading results across dynamic markets. The platform offers speed, automation, and access to various instruments—all supported by AI that adapts in real time. These features could help remove emotional bias and improve decision-making for certain user types.

With the NHS struggling to keep up with demand, increasing numbers of UK residents are seeking private alternatives to get faster access to treatment — particularly when it comes to prescriptions.
This growing reliance on private healthcare has seen a sharp rise in the use of digital platforms that simplify how patients obtain their medication.
The Appeal of Speed and Simplicity
NHS services continue to face intense pressure, with waiting lists in England exceeding 7.7 million patients by the end of 2023. Unsurprisingly, more people are opting for private care not just for surgical procedures, but for day-to-day healthcare services — including prescription needs.
That shift is fuelling interest in faster, more efficient medication delivery. Patients are seeking alternatives to the delays of traditional post or in-person pharmacy queues.
These platforms enable doctors to issue private prescriptions electronically, allowing medicines to be delivered straight to a patient’s home — with no need to leave the sofa.
One of the most prominent players is Healistic, which brings together clinics, pharmacies, and couriers to ensure prescription medications arrive at patients’ doors in as little as two hours.
Its founder, Daniel Bulkin, explains the need for innovation:
“People can get food, dinner or a cab in minutes. So why are we still waiting days for medication?”
Healistic’s Approach to Modern Healthcare
Designed for ease of use, Healistic allows clinicians to issue digital prescriptions within seconds. Patients can manage everything online, while local pharmacies prepare the orders and couriers handle delivery — often within the hour.
Clinics can use the service at no cost, and hundreds have already adopted the platform across the UK. The convenience has proven valuable not only for patients, but also for practice teams looking to reduce administrative tasks and streamline operations.
Uniquely, Healistic supports controlled drugs — including those covered by Schedules 2 to 5 — which many other platforms are unable to offer due to regulatory limitations.
Rapid Market Growth
The UK’s private healthcare sector reached £12.4 billion in 2023, a notable rise from £11.4 billion in 2022. Private prescriptions are playing a significant role in that growth.
Meanwhile, the pharmacy market is forecast to grow steadily, with expectations it will exceed £58 billion by 2030 — much of that driven by tech-powered services.
As more patients adapt to digital healthcare management, platforms like Healistic are positioned to see ongoing demand.
Beyond Prescriptions: A Broader Digital Vision
Healistic’s ambitions go beyond medication delivery. The company is developing a broader digital infrastructure — a “digital patient home” that enables users and providers to oversee multiple aspects of care through a single secure interface.
Founder Daniel Bulkin calls it “Open Healthcare”, a concept based on the Open Banking model. Just as that gave consumers more control over their finances, Healistic aims to give people full command of their healthcare experience — cutting out red tape and delays.
Tech-Driven Care That’s Changing the Norm
With patients, clinicians, and pharmacies all seeing the benefits of e-prescriptions, it’s clear that digital-first care is becoming the new standard.
As private health services expand and technology continues to evolve, platforms like Healistic are not just keeping pace — they’re helping lead the transformation.
Four former C-suite and senior executives from major UK and global brands have joined forces with Beyond the Blueprint – a fast-growing, multi-million-pound growth advisory firm – to scale a disruptive model designed to help UK businesses and their leaders grow through complex change.
The new partners are all accredited executive coaches and bring a powerful blend of senior leadership and hands-on experience in founding, scaling and transforming businesses at all stages of maturity. Alongside the founders, their backgrounds span organisations including ITV, Unilever, Tesco, Liberty Global, BT, JP Morgan, Mediacom, Marakon Associates, Eve Sleep and the AA.
They join co-founders Patrick Ugeux (formerly of Deloitte) and Gareth Hussey (formerly of O2 Telefónica) in response to rising demand for a more integrated approach to growth – one that delivers strategic reinvention, and the human dynamics needed to deliver it.
Founded in 2023, Beyond the Blueprint has grown rapidly, working with boards and leadership teams at companies including Octopus Investments, Just Group plc and Next 15 plc. Its unique partner-only model combines board and top team advisory with executive coaching to help unlock double-digit growth through moments of major change – including post-merger integration, new business creation and significant shifts in strategic direction.
The addition of the new partners strengthens Beyond the Blueprint’s reach across sectors including technology, FMCG, retail, direct-to-consumer and financial services. It also reflects rising demand for more integrated approaches to growth, particularly in the face of economic uncertainty and the urgent need to harness the opportunities presented by AI-led disruption.
The new partners include Cheryl Calverley, award-winning CMO and former CEO of Eve Sleep, who more than quadrupled the profitability of the business, and Will Worsdell, a global brand strategist and former agency founder who built and globally scaled a multi-million-pound marketing services business.
They are joined by Charli Kumar, former Managing Director of two Sky streaming businesses, and named one of the UK’s Top 50 Women Gamechangers in TV and Jen Wright, an entrepreneur who has previously led major digital, data and AI transformation projects for KFC, BT and Specsavers.
Co-founders Gareth Hussey and Patrick Ugeux similarly bring first-hand experience of leading change at scale. Patrick, a strategy, M&A and transaction executive, led large-scale change and transactions at Clear Channel and Liberty Global. Gareth steered the multi-billion-pound consumer P&L at O2 UK to significant growth during the pandemic, and brings deep commercial, marketing and coaching expertise, alongside extensive experience working with scale-ups at Octopus.
Patrick Ugeux, co-founder of Beyond the Blueprint, said: “We’ve been struck by how deeply our approach resonates with leaders and investors. By expanding the business, we can support more boards and leadership teams through systemic change, not just by shaping strategy, but, as trained executive coaches, by tackling the human dynamics that enable it.”
Jen Wright, former KFC leader and partner at Beyond the Blueprint, said: “Having led and coached growth, technology transformation and AI-driven change in major organisations, I know that it’s this combination of experience, creativity and focus on the individual leaders in the room that truly helps businesses rise to their biggest challenges. Beyond The Blueprint’s integrated approach to human dynamics and business mechanics is what really drew me in.”
With McKinsey research showing that 70% of business transformations still fail, often due to a disconnect between vision, team alignment and execution, Beyond the Blueprint’s growth reflects a shift in what organisations value. Many are now looking beyond traditional consultancies, seeking advisory partners who understand and can bridge both the strategic and human sides of growth.
The firm is currently expanding its offering, client base, and geographic footprint primarily across EMEA and North America.
