WEST PALM BEACH, FLA. AND WINDSOR, U.K. / ACCESS Newswire / July 15, 2025 / U.S. Polo Assn., the official brand of the United States Polo Association (USPA), in partnership with Brand Machine Group (BMG), its licensing partner in the United Kingdom, proudly served once again as the Official Apparel and Team Sponsor for the 2025 Outsourcing Inc. Royal Charity Polo Cup. The prestigious event took place on July 11 at the renowned Windsor Great Park at Flemish Farms’ Guards Polo Club.

In its seventh consecutive year of sponsorship for the charitable event, U.S. Polo Assn. outfitted all participating polo players, umpires, and flaggers in custom-designed performance jerseys, with The Prince of Wales captaining the U.S. Polo Assn. Team. The annual event brought together elite polo players and distinguished guests for a day of sport and charitable giving.

His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales competed in an exciting round-robin format match against Team Fortunis Bloodstock and Team Manta Marine Technologies – La Ilusión Polo Club. The high-profile charitable event featured other well-known polo players, including James Beim, Henry Porter, Jack Richardson, and Ivan Rubinich, to name a few. The match was filled with excellent gameplay from all participants, concluding with The Prince of Wales scoring the game-winning goal against Manta Marine Technologies. The Royal Charity Cup’s Most Valuable Player was Emma McCrae from Team Fortunis Bloodstock, who had a great neck-shot goal during the day, alongside the Best Polo Pony, Chechu, played by HRH and owned by King Power Polo.

In addition to performance gear, U.S. Polo Assn. provided a limited-edition 135^th Anniversary commemorative gift to all event attendees, celebrating the brand’s storied heritage dating back to 1890. The tailored gift set included a canvas tote bag, a 135^th Anniversary cap, a pocket square, a lapel pin, the brand’s newest issue of Field X Fashion magazine, as well as co-branded event caps developed exclusively for this occasion.

“It is an extraordinary honor to once again have The Prince of Wales lead the U.S. Polo Assn. Team in support of this meaningful charity event,” said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global, the company which manages the global, multi-billion-dollar U.S. Polo Assn. brand. “We are proud to stand alongside our partner Brand Machine Group in raising critical funds and awareness through the sport of polo for very important causes that uplift communities across the United Kingdom.”

The annual high-profile philanthropic event raised more than £1.1 million for 10 important charities that are supported by The Prince and Princess of Wales. The 2025 event contribution takes the total raised from Royal Charity Polo Days played in the U.K. over the last 14 years to more than £14 million.

Those charities include: Anna Freud Centre, British Red Cross, Child Bereavement UK, East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices, Family Action, Fields in Trust, Forward Trust, NHS Charities Together, Royal African Society, and We Are Farming Minds.

These prestigious brands joined forces to help elevate the experience for players and guests alike, while reinforcing the event’s charitable mission through their shared commitment to excellence, philanthropy, and style.

• Partnership established to develop and scale production of ATL-105, a novel recombinant version of alpha-1 antitrypsin

• Lead indication is non-CF bronchiectasis; ATL-105 targets disease drivers through a broad multimodal mechanism of action

VILNIUS, LT / ACCESS Newswire / July 15, 2025 / AATec Medical GmbH (“AATec”), a biotech company developing a multi-product platform for the treatment of respiratory diseases, and Northway Biotech (“Northway Biotech” or “NBT”), a global Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO), today announced a partnership for manufacturing process development and analytical development of AATec’s lead product candidate, ATL-105, a proprietary, inhaled therapy based on recombinant alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) for non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB).

Highlights

• Nano One selected for launch of ALTA, America’s first lithium and battery supply chain accelerator.

• Only OBBB-ready solution for LFP-linking upstream critical minerals to downstream cell manufacturing.

• Eliminates chokepoints and reliance on foreign-controlled processes, inputs and wasteful ecosystems.

• Nano One begins trading on US listing (OTCQB: NNOMF) to enhance investor base.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / July 15, 2025 / (TSX:NANO)(OTC PINK:NNOMF)(Frankfurt:LBMB)

Nano One® Materials Corp. (“Nano One” or the “Company”), a process technology company specializing in lithium-ion battery cathode active materials (CAM), has been selected to join the Arkansas Lithium Technology Accelerator (ALTA), America’s first lithium and battery supply chain accelerator, to help catalyze a durable, domestic battery materials ecosystem and reduce foreign dependency on critical technology and inputs.

“Participating in ALTA positions Nano One as a strategic contributor to lithium-ion battery supply chain independence,” said Dan Blondal, CEO of Nano One. “We are the only OBBB-ready solution for LFP-linking upstream mineral extraction to downstream cell manufacturing. Without localized cathode production in the supply chain, critical minerals risk being sent offshore for processing or worse yet, idled while U.S. battery plants source elsewhere. Our One-Pot™ process eliminates chokepoints and reliance on foreign-controlled inputs, processing technologies, wastewater and byproducts that will not scale here. Purpose-built for North America, it vertically integrates PCAM with CAM-cutting costs, reducing permitting barriers, and unlocking a scalable, modular platform at the core of the lithium-ion battery ecosystem.”

This milestone reinforces Nano One’s position as a national strategic asset in lithium-ion battery production- fortifying a secure, localized supply chain for defense and commercial markets. It also highlights Nano One’s continued relevance to energy growth and national security, bolstered by recent funding of US$12.9 million from the U.S. Department of Defense. Nano One’s Candiac facility, in Québec, is scaling operations towards initial sales for defense and energy storage, while supporting licensing and joint venture efforts to address high-volume markets for AI data centers and electric vehicles. Arkansas’ bold yet achievable supply chain goals align with Nano One’s multi-jurisdictional strategy, leveraging Candiac as a hub, accelerator and launchpad for validation, commercialization, and large-scale growth in the US, Canada and beyond. These efforts are anchored by Nano One’s Innovation Centre in Burnaby, which supports process development, scale-up, regional deployment, and long-term competitiveness.

“We’re thrilled to have Nano One join the ALTA program. Their One-Pot LFP technology represents the kind of breakthrough innovation that supports the national goal of reshoring supply chains. It’s a strong fit for Arkansas’ rapidly growing lithium ecosystem,” said Arthur Orduña, executive director of The Venture Center. Nano One is one of only three companies selected for ALTA’s inaugural cohort, alongside innovators in lithium processing and geothermal deployment. The accelerator is backed by Standard Lithium, the Walton Family Foundation, and a network of Arkansas-based producers, academic institutions, and government partners. Participation in ALTA creates opportunities for partnerships and strategic visibility in the U.S., while enabling shared learnings with other innovative North American supply chain leaders of tomorrow and established players looking to support localization of the lithium-ion battery supply chain.

To capitalize on this momentum, Nano One began trading on the U.S. OTCQB under the ticker NNOMF on July 14, enhancing visibility and accessibility to U.S. investors as it expands commercial efforts and builds partnerships across North America. Momentum is further supported by policy shifts like the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), which proposes tighter domestic content requirements and phases out incentives tied to foreign inputs. With CAM representing the highest cost component in a cell, Nano One’s One-Pot™ process provides a path to resilient, cost competitive, and fully domestic manufacturing.
