Former House Majority Leader and global business executive brings decades of public policy and private-sector experience to lead the industry at a pivotal moment for American medical innovation

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Board of Directors of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) today announced that Eric Cantor has been named the organization's next president and chief executive officer, bringing decades of experience at the intersection of business and public policy to lead the organization at a pivotal moment for America's biopharmaceutical industry. He will assume the President & CEO role effective November 9.

"Eric is well respected among policy leaders in Washington and around the world, with a long track record of working effectively across the political spectrum to achieve important outcomes that have a lasting impact," said Rob Davis, chairman and chief executive officer of Merck and chair of the PhRMA Board of Directors. "Eric's unique combination of global business acumen coupled with policy and political experience at the highest levels of government make him an ideal person to lead PhRMA during this critical next chapter. The Board looks forward to working with him to advance policies that strengthen American biopharmaceutical innovation and expand access to medicines for patients."

Cantor represented Virginia in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2000 to 2014, serving as House Majority Leader from 2011 to 2014. During his time in Congress, he led the bipartisan enactment of the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act, which prioritized federal support for pediatric disease research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and was instrumental in building support for legislation that established Medicare Part D, expanding access to drug coverage for seniors and people with disabilities. He also laid the groundwork for the passage of the 21st Century Cures Act, a landmark bill with bipartisan support that provided a significant increase in funding for the NIH and included Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reforms designed to speed medicine approvals to get them to patients faster.

Since leaving Congress, Cantor has served as Vice Chairman and Managing Director at Moelis & Company where he advised organizations and executives on business strategy, mergers and acquisitions, public policy, and the global economic landscape. He has also served as a member of its Board of Directors, a role in which he will continue to serve while in his new position at PhRMA.

"The American biopharmaceutical industry leads the world," said Cantor. "PhRMA's member companies operate at the cutting edge of science and technology seeking novel treatments and cures for both chronic and rare diseases. I'm honored to join in the industry's efforts to expand patient access, leverage the promise of AI to speed discovery, and be a champion for the hundreds of thousands of Americans working in the biopharmaceutical industry whose science improves, extends, and saves lives."

Cantor will succeed Stephen J. Ubl, who has led PhRMA since 2015. Ubl has worked closely with the PhRMA Board of Directors to ensure a smooth and stable transition, and he will continue to serve as a strategic advisor to PhRMA until January 15, 2027. Davis thanked Ubl for his decade of leadership at PhRMA:

"On behalf of the entire Board, I want to express our deep appreciation to Steve for a decade of exceptional leadership and service to our industry," Davis said. "During a period of tremendous change in health care and public policy, Steve has been a tireless advocate for patients, innovation and the researchers working every day to develop new medicines. We are grateful for his leadership and the lasting impact he has made."

2026 International Day of Older Persons: Dimora Medical Supports Dignified Longevity with Advanced Home Wound Care

NEW YORK, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As the world observes the 2026 United Nations International Day of Older Persons under the theme "The Age of Longevity: Rethinking Systems for Longer Lives," global attention is turning toward how societies can adapt to support healthier, more dignified aging. Longer lives bring unprecedented opportunities, yet they also demand a fundamental rethinking of how health systems, home care, and public policies support people throughout the life course. Against this backdrop, Dimora Medical, a pioneer in professional wound care, is making home care easy through innovation, empowering elderly wound care with professional, convenient solutions that enhance the quality and dignity of daily wound management for seniors.

Addressing Home Care Challenges for Older Persons

Elderly individuals often face fragile skin, reduced mobility, and complex health conditions that make them highly susceptible to pressure ulcers and chronic wounds. For caregivers and family members, managing these conditions at home is fraught with challenges. Traditional wound dressings frequently fail to handle moderate to heavy exudate, leading to leakage, maceration of surrounding healthy skin, and painful dressing changes that cause further trauma to vulnerable tissue. These issues not only prolong recovery but also diminish the quality of life and dignity of older persons.

Dimora Medical responds to these challenges with its silicone foam dressing powered by the MegaSorb™ Dual‑Action Absorption System, a versatile wound care solution designed for moderate to high exudate wounds, precisely matching the needs of common elderly conditions such as pressure ulcers and chronic wounds.

- High-absorption, dual-action mechanism: The system uses MegaSorb™ Foam, an innovative high-porosity polymer material with an open-cell structure reaching up to 90%, capable of absorbing up to 15 times its own weight in wound exudate.

- Lock-in within one second: Exudate is rapidly and stably retained within the dressing in as little as one second, effectively reducing the risk of leakage and backflow.

- Protecting fragile skin: By minimizing leakage and backflow, the system significantly lowers the risk of skin irritation and infection associated with conventional dressing changes, while its gentle silicone adhesive enables painless removal.

Supporting A Dignified Life for Older Persons

Dimora Medical is dedicated to making home wound care more manageable for older adults and their caregivers. Through its MegaSorb™ technology, the brand aims to reduce the challenges associated with wound management while supporting greater comfort and quality of life.

As the global community strives to build age-inclusive systems, Dimora Medical remains committed to its mission of making home care easy. By providing professional, convenient, and scientifically backed products, Dimora Medical helps alleviate the physical and emotional burden on both patients and caregivers. This International Day of Older Persons, Dimora Medical stands with families worldwide to ensure that every elder can enjoy a later life filled with health, participation, and unwavering dignity, truly embodying the promise of dignified longevity.

Award-winning digital proofing for metal packaging delivers precise color and opacity matching on actual cans, helping brands achieve target colors, reduce proofing cycles, and accelerate approvals.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- X-Rite Pantone, Sun Chemical, and CMA Imaging today announced the commercial availability of the CanJET digital proofing ecosystem for North America. Designed for beverage brands, can makers, and packaging converters, the connected workflow brings measurable color and opacity matching to actual cans, offering a faster, more flexible alternative to conventional pilot-line proofing and prototyping. The solution helps packaging teams reduce iterations and accelerate design approvals before production begins.

Recognized with the Bronze Innovation Award at METPACK 2026, the CanJET workflow brings together CMA Imaging's CanJET printing system, Sun Chemical extended color gamut inks, PantoneLIVE™ digital color references, and X-Rite measurement technology.

"On metal, matching a color also means matching its opacity, because the reflective surface contributes to the final appearance," said Gerardo Cerros, Founder and CEO of CMA Imaging. "By bringing together our patented reflective technology and AI-powered color matching with PantoneLIVE, X-Rite color measurement and Sun Chemical's ink expertise, CanJET transforms a traditionally complex, equipment-intensive proofing process into a connected digital workflow. Brands can measure, refine, and validate both color and opacity directly on the can against shared digital targets, reducing repeated sampling and enabling faster, more confident design decisions."

"We use the CanJET digital proofing workflow because we need accurate proofs and flexibility in color development. It allows us to explore new color references with brands and assess Pantone® colors directly on metal cans, making color research part of the design and printability conversation," said Renaud van Cauter, Operations Director, KCP Connexion (KCP), a global packaging design and premedia company headquartered in Belgium.

Connecting Color from Target to Approval

PantoneLIVE metal decoration libraries provide more than 4,000 achievable color options across metal packaging formats and finishes, giving brands and their supply chain partners objective digital targets for color development. Using spectral data captured with the X-Rite Ci64 handheld spectrophotometer, Colorportal's cloud-based platform enables remote proofing and uses AI-powered color matching to optimize color and opacity against PantoneLIVE references or customers' own brand color libraries. CanJET then combines high-resolution direct-to-can printing with Sun Chemical extended color gamut inks to produce proofs and prototypes directly on open, closed, and necked cans. Packaging teams can assess appearance on the actual can before it goes into production, supporting faster, more confident approvals.

Powered by Sun Chemical inks and color expertise, CanJET forms part of Sun Chemical's SunDigiProof service within SunColorBox, its integrated color management toolkit. SunDigiProof enables color-accurate inkjet swatches and mock-ups to be printed onsite and on demand, allowing brands and supply chain partners to explore color and design options and verify achievability.

"PantoneLIVE provides a shared digital color target based on what can realistically be achieved in metal decoration," said Jason Campbell, Product Manager, X-Rite Pantone. "When paired with spectral measurement and direct-to-can proofing, it helps align design intent with production expectations."

"As part of our SunDigiProof service, CanJET helps packaging producers reduce trial work, improve control over color approval and protect their customers' brand equity," said Richard Hayden, Sales and Business Development Manager, Sun Chemical.

See the Digital Proofing Workflow at IMDPA

The companies will introduce the commercially available CanJET proofing ecosystem at the IMDPA Annual Conference, September 29 to October 1, 2026, in Itasca, Illinois.

Raf Mulla, Metal Packaging Specialist at X-Rite, will present "Advances in Managing Digital Color for the Metal Dec Sector" during the October 1 general session.

Research From More Than 8,300 Family Members Reveals How Trust, Relevant Communication, and Visible Student Impact Can Strengthen Engagement and Philanthropy

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Encoura®, an industry-leading educational technology, marketing, and research organization, and CampusESP, a leading provider of AI-powered parent and family engagement solutions for higher education, today announced the release of Drivers of Family Giving: The 2026 National Study, a new research report showing that family philanthropy is rooted in student success, trust, and meaningful relationships — not simply in receiving a fundraising appeal.

Conducted in May 2026 through CampusESP's parent and family engagement platform, the study includes responses from 8,353 family members across 77 colleges and universities. It examines how communication, engagement, and the student experience influence families' connection to an institution and their willingness to give.

Key Insights:

"We went straight to the source to uncover what families really want from the colleges and universities their students attend," said Sarah Kleeberger, senior vice president of consulting fundraising management at Encoura. "More than 8,300 family members told us what they value, what builds trust and connection, and what can lead to deeper engagement and giving. Their message is clear: when institutions help families see that students are supported and succeeding, they create the foundation for lasting relationships."

"Family giving doesn't start with a fundraising appeal. It starts with student success," said Dave Becker, CEO of CampusESP. "When families see their student thriving and feel informed and connected along the way, colleges build the kind of relationship that can naturally lead to giving."

The study translates the findings into a checklist for institutions: build trust before asking for engagement or gifts; lead with student outcomes; communicate for relevance rather than volume; create opportunities to participate beyond writing a check; tailor engagement for distinct family audiences; and focus on "not yet" families who may be open to a future relationship.

The research also reinforces that family engagement extends beyond enrollment and does not end at commencement. By sharing meaningful student outcomes, showing the impact of support, and creating authentic opportunities to participate, institutions can make giving a natural extension of an established relationship built on a shared commitment to student and alumni success.

The full study can be downloaded from Encoura's website: https://www.encoura.org/resources/papers/2026-drivers-of-family-giving-report/.

HONG KONG, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As the newest addition to Ruko robot toys family, the newly launched R1 Mini Robot Dog transforms interactive play for children ages 3 and up. Built into a compact form, it combines self-righting, acrobatic 4-way flips, and gesture sensing into a dynamic companion ready for action anywhere.

When most toys tip over, someone always has to bend down to pick them up. The R1 eliminates that hassle with an automatic self-righting mechanism that quickly brings the dog back onto its feet whenever it tumbles or lands upside down.

Playful variety is at the heart of every routine, the robot dog is packed with fun stunts and tricks. It performs 4-way flips—forward, backward, left, and right—alongside over 10 playful routines, including dancing, push-ups, and swimming. Through the built-in programming mode, children can sequence their favorite moves into custom combinations, naturally blending interactive play with early STEM logical thinking.

Instead of passive screen time, the R1 invites children to move through three intuitive control methods. With the wearable gesture-sensing watch, kids steer the robot and trigger flips simply by tilting their hands. For classic navigation, the 2.4GHz remote fits comfortably in smaller hands, while touch sensors along the dog's back trigger affectionate, pet-like responses.

Measuring just 6.3 × 4.1 × 3.4 inches, the R1 is thoughtfully sized for both indoor play and travel. Its compact build maneuvers effortlessly through small bedrooms, hallway rugs, and around living room furniture without cluttering the home. When heading outside, it tucks neatly into a child's backpack for park visits, playdates, and road trips.

As day turns to night, the R1 shifts from high-energy stunts into a soothing bedtime companion. Its built-in storytelling feature adds a quieter way to play, giving children calming stories to enjoy before bedtime.

Recent reviews on tech blogs and YouTube have praised the toy's performance. As one tester put it: "One of the first things I noticed is how agile it is without needing a huge amount of open space. The self-righting ability and stunt flips make it feel far more interactive than a basic remote-controlled toy."

The Ruko R1 Mini Robot Dog is now available on Amazon. To celebrate the season ahead, Prime members can unlock a special 15% savings event during Amazon Prime Big Deal Days (October 6–7). Find yours by searching "Ruko R1 Robot Dog" on Amazon or clicking through to the Amazon Product Page to grab this crowd-pleaser before deals end.

In the news release, Depth Over Breadth: Multiplier Proves Durability of the Global Exchange for Work, Reaching $100M ARR, issued 29-Sep-2026 by Multiplier over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that the 6th paragraph, 3rd sentence, and "About Multiplier" section, 3rd sentence should read "$1.81 billion" rather than "$181 billion" as originally issued inadvertently. The complete, corrected release follows:

Depth Over Breadth: Multiplier Proves Durability of the Global Exchange for Work, Reaching $100M ARR

Rejecting the all-in-one Employer-of-Record approach, the company's focus on native infrastructure fuels impressive growth, with North America driving 60% of total revenue.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- While the broader human resources technology category races toward building all-in-one, broad-but-shallow HR platforms, Multiplier has taken a deliberately contrasting path. The company was founded on a distinct bet: diving deeply into compliant global hiring and the money movement that powers it and building the technology backward from the customer's actual experience of hiring and paying someone in another country, rather than the inverse.

Instead of absorbing every adjacent HR workflow in-house, Multiplier focuses on its core infrastructure and sourced best-in-class partners for the rest. Modeled after similar ecosystem-led platforms that have dominated other categories, Multiplier works deeply with the rest of the stack, rather than attempting to own it all.

Today, Multiplier is sharing the proof of that structural bet as it officially passes $100 million in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) just six years from its inception, while maintaining an 80% year-over-year growth rate and a 115% Net Revenue Retention for its core business. This scale is offered not as a headline sprint to a number, but as evidence of institutional durability, exceptionally strong retention, and real, operational infrastructure that ensures customers are safely insulated from local compliance and currency frictions that can be a substantial hurdle.

"Multiplier has been a supportive partner in our growth by evaluating our unique circumstances and offering tailored solutions that meet our specific needs," said Anita Punjabi, Head of People and Culture, Rare Beauty. "With their help, we have been able to build teams in six countries and counting in a span of less than three years."

While Multiplier originated in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region out of Singapore, its depth-first approach has triggered significant global adoption across more than 160 countries. In particular, while many industry peers have scaled back their U.S. presence, North America has become Multiplier's primary growth engine:

- 60% of Current Revenue: North America now accounts for the clear majority of Multiplier's total revenue.

- 47% of All Expansion: Companies with U.S. headquarters drove nearly half of all Multiplier's expansion across Q4 2025 and Q1 2026, signaling that established customers are facing a critical challenge for scaling internationally.

Multiplier's substantial growth and trajectory in the world's largest markets is powered by a multi-product business model, not a single-wedge product. Today, 20% to 30% of the company's revenue comes from products beyond its flagship Employer of Record (EOR) offering. Driven by over 20 native HRIS integrations with platforms like Workday, BambooHR, and SAP SuccessFactors, Multiplier now processes over $1.81 billion in annual payroll.

"Capital markets have dedicated exchanges, but global labor, including the movement of wages and talent across borders, has never had a unified, frictionless infrastructure," said Sagar Khatri, Co-Founder and CEO of Multiplier. "We are building that missing exchange. Reaching $100M ARR is a validating checkpoint, proving that when you focus on solving the hardest compliance and money movement problems seamlessly, the market responds. Our focus remains on mastering the complexity of global employment, ensuring businesses can treat the global talent pool as natively as their local market and with the comfort of knowing they are protected from regulatory and compliance headaches."

This depth-over-breadth thesis has earned significant independent validation across the industry, including being named a Leader in The IEC Group's Global EOR Study for the third consecutive year (2026), with the report naming Multiplier the provider with the "strongest performance improvement" of anyone assessed; being recognized in the Fast Company 2025 Innovation by Design Awards for its frictionless user experience; and recently being honored with a prestigious GPA Award for excellence in cross-border payroll execution.

Multiplier will run a digital ad on the NASDAQ tower in Times Square all day on Tuesday, September 29. To learn more about Multiplier and its global employment infrastructure, please visit https://www.usemultiplier.com/.

Jeeves' revenue has grown 4x in 14 months and volume has tripled year-over-year, crossing $5 billion in annualized volume. Stablecoin volume has gone from zero to $1.5 billion annualized in eight months as Jeeves expands its stablecoin card and payment offering to 10 new countries.

MIAMI, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Jeeves, the stablecoin-native banking platform for global enterprises, today announced $110 million in equity funding and the launch of its proprietary stablecoin wallet with payouts to 190 countries.

The round was led by CoinFund, with participation from AllianceBernstein, Andreessen Horowitz, Coinbase Ventures, CRV, GIC, Global PayTech Ventures, ParaFi, Vista, Wintermute, Y Combinator and others.

Saving global enterprises time and money, Jeeves is the financial operating system for thousands of businesses in sectors such as technology, mobility, financial services, retail, and e-commerce, including industry leaders like BMW, H&M, Lululemon, Burger King, Kavak and XP. Over 80% of customers utilize multiple products, including corporate cards, accounts payable and treasury payments, spend management, and agentic workflows, positioning the company as the default stablecoin-native platform for financial operations among global businesses.

The raise comes as Jeeves surpasses $5 billion in annualized total platform volume across its card and payments products. Stablecoin is the fastest-growing part of that volume. Eight months ago, stablecoin-settled activity on Jeeves was effectively zero. It is now running at $1.5 billion annualized platform volume, driven by enterprises that use Jeeves to move money between markets where correspondent banking is slow or expensive.

Jeeves is expanding its stablecoin card offering from 25 to 35 countries, including Argentina, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Panama, Peru, Paraguay and Uruguay. That expansion means Jeeves covers nearly every market in Central and South America. Combined with its existing coverage across North America, the United Kingdom, and Europe, Jeeves' stablecoin card and spend management platform now reaches 35 countries in total. As part of the announcement, Jeeves is opening an office in Madrid to expand its core stablecoin-native cards and payments offering globally.

"The enterprises that choose Jeeves are global by default, requiring corporate cards, accounts payable, treasury payments, and financial automation that span continents, and every one of them is tired of legacy infrastructure that wasn't built for that. We built Jeeves as a banking platform on stablecoin rails because that's the only way to give companies the same speed and cost structure moving money between São Paulo and Berlin that they get transacting within one country. That is what a stablecoin-native banking platform for global business actually looks like," said Dileep Thazhmon, Founder and CEO of Jeeves.

Alongside the raise, Jeeves is launching a proprietary stablecoin wallet with instant payouts to 190 countries, a global AI spend tracking solution, and an accounts receivable (AR) module. Together, they give companies a single system to move money, track spend, and get paid, without stitching together banks, spreadsheets and point solutions across every market they operate in.

"Stablecoins are fundamentally changing finance for enterprises, but thus far, very few companies have created robust stablecoin-based infrastructure ideally suited to enterprises. Jeeves has built a full enterprise stack that allows enterprises to run their day-to-day operations, corporate cards and invoice payments atop stablecoins, bringing speed, modern money capabilities and much lower costs to their customers. Jeeves has real distribution among companies already operating across Latin America, the United States and Europe, and that combination of technology and adoption is why we led this round." said David Pakman, Managing Partner and Head of Venture Investments at CoinFund.

With this round, Jeeves moves from a payments tool used by finance teams to the banking infrastructure enterprises use to move money everywhere they do business.
