The Human Research Program for Civilian Spaceflight (HRP-C) congratulates Jared Isaacman on his confirmation as Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. His appointment marks a significant moment for the future of human space exploration and reflects a growing recognition of the important role commercial spaceflight now plays in advancing scientific understanding and technological progress.

Mr. Isaacman’s leadership across Inspiration4, Polaris Dawn, and other deep-technology initiatives demonstrates a rare combination of operational experience, technical skill, and long-term vision. He has shown a consistent commitment to expanding human participation in space while upholding the principles of safety, scientific rigor, and ethical responsibility that anchor NASA’s highest traditions. His background positions him to guide the agency as it navigates an era defined by commercial partnerships, new human-research frontiers, and increasing global interest in space activity.

As a space biomedical research organization, HRP-C is committed to advancing the health, safety, and performance of civilian space travelers, guided by our mission: “To make it possible for everyone who wishes to enter space to realize that dream through advanced science.” In keeping with HRP-C’s founding principles, our work is research focused, leaving the matters of space medicine practice and regulatory concerns to others. 

We view Administrator Isaacman’s confirmation as an opportunity to deepen collaboration across government, academia, industry, and the growing community of civilian explorers. His personal experience of crew preparation, biomedical risk, operational realities, mission-focused human research, and innovative technology development aligns closely with the scientific priorities that will shape sustainable long-duration human presence beyond Earth.

Administrator Isaacman’s tenure provides a crucial window of opportunity to reinforce these goals. His experience highlights the importance of responsible access to space and the value of generating high-quality human-research data to inform future missions. HRP-C looks forward to contributing to this collaborative ecosystem and supporting NASA’s pursuit of a safe, ethical, and sustainable future for human exploration.

“Jared Isaacman brings a unique understanding of both the human and technological dimensions of spaceflight,” said Dr. Michael Schmidt, President at HRP-C. “His leadership will help ensure that NASA remains a steward of scientific excellence while embracing the innovation that is essential to advancing human presence in space.”

About Human Research Program for Civilian Spaceflight (HRP-C)

The Human Research Program for Civilian Spaceflight (HRP-C) is the foundational program to address the health, safety, and performance of civilian space travelers in the commercial space sector. Various government organizations such as NASA, JAXA, ESA, ASI, CSA, Roscosmos, and others have foundational human research programs addressing the needs of professional astronauts engaged in exploration missions. However, to date, there has been no dedicated effort with sufficient scope to address the widespread needs of civilian space travelers. The HRP-C has been established to fill this gap.

In creating the first comprehensive foundational human research program for civilians, the HRP-C recognizes the numerous organizations and programs that currently address specific forms of human research within the civilian space medicine community. The HRP-C effort welcomes collaborations with these groups. Where HRP-C differs is in the comprehensive spectrum of needs that are addressed for civilian space travelers of all nations and for the space industry as a whole. This presents the opportunity for harmonization of methods across mission types and flight providers, yielding the ability to more reliably compare findings from disparate mission conditions. These capabilities are expected to more rapidly accelerate and scale advances in the field to the benefit of our emergent space traveling population. Key among these is the continual development of new countermeasures aimed at supporting civilian health, safety, and performance in space.

Buying backlinks means paying to have a link placed on someone else’s website. You exchange money for the potential SEO benefit. This is a common business practice intended to accelerate a site’s visibility in search results.

A lot of people are doing it. Recent research from the SEO community shows this clearly. In a survey of over 500 specialists conducted by Editorial.Link, a staggering 91.9% believe their direct competitors are buying links. This belief is common across freelancers, in-house teams, and agency staff.

If so many professionals think the other side is doing it, your choice of supplier becomes critical. You need a provider that is reliable and fits your workflow. We looked at the current options to identify key players for buying backlinks in 2026.

You might want to consider these providers:

• INSERT.LINK operates as a self-service marketplace for link insertions and guest posts.
• Editorial.Link offers a fully managed, performance-based link building service. 
• Siege Media focuses on content-led organic growth and digital PR. 
• Fatjoe provides scalable, white-label link building services. 
• Page One Power specializes in custom manual outreach and strategic campaigns.

1. INSERT.LINK

INSERT.LINK is a link building marketplace. It connects you directly with a large inventory of websites where you can buy backlinks. The platform specializes in two main services: link insertions into existing content and traditional guest posting.

It uses a natural language search to help you find relevant pages across over 45,000 vetted websites. You can filter results by metrics like domain rating (DR), traffic, country, and language. The process is straightforward. You enter a topic, browse the list of matching pages, and place an order for your link. This setup gives you direct control over where your links will appear.

INSERT.LINK works with upfront account credits. You add funds, then spend them. A basic link insertion might cost you $30–$40. For a link on a powerful, busy website, you could pay $400–$500. If you want a full guest article or press release, expect to spend at least $70. Top-tier spots on the most sought-after sites reach about $1,500.

It's best for SEO pros, smaller companies, or agencies — those who want to pick and buy links themselves, quickly. They cover common fields like tech, online stores, finance, law, and health.

2. Editorial.Link

Editorial.Link is a managed link building service. Its model is built on a pay-for-performance basis. You only pay for the backlinks that are successfully secured and published. This removes the financial risk of paying for outreach that might not work.

A key feature of their service is client pre-approval. Their team researches and proposes specific target websites. You must review and approve each one before any outreach begins. This gives you complete oversight. They report that the average DR of sites they place links on is 67.

Editorial.Link handles tasks like securing standard backlinks, running digital PR, getting you into list articles, and creating content designed to attract links. They work to make you visible in regular Google searches and in newer AI search results. You'll get a custom quote. A common starting point is five solid editorial links for approximately $1,750.

It's best for technology firms, law practices, finance, insurance, property, online retail, and software companies — serious brands in tough industries who would rather write a check than do the work themselves and want guaranteed, high-end placements.

3. Siege Media

Siege Media takes a different route. It is a content marketing agency that uses high-value content assets to earn links organically. With Siege Media, you're not shopping for individual links. You're paying them to create remarkable content like original research, detailed studies, and custom graphics that journalists and bloggers naturally want to reference and link to.

They create data-driven reports, studies, and custom visuals designed to attract media coverage and links from reputable outlets. This "content-as-a-link-building engine" approach aims for consistency. Successful campaigns can generate hundreds of links per month for clients.

This is no quick fix. They tell clients not to expect the first links until month four. Momentum really builds around month six. Running this kind of creative engine costs a lot. They use monthly retainers, and the going rate for these is steep. You'll typically see numbers from $10,000 to over $30,000 each month. That puts them in the luxury tier of this market.

It's best for software, financial tech, and major online stores — companies with serious cash to spend. They're looking to grow steadily through exceptional content and media relations, not just buy a bunch of links.

4. Fatjoe

Fatjoe offers a scalable, hands-off link building service popular with marketing agencies. They handle the entire process, from finding relevant sites to securing the placement, and their services are fully white-label. This means your clients only see your brand.

Their flagship service is Blogger Outreach. You provide the topic and target URL, and their team conducts manual outreach to place a guest post or niche edit. They emphasize working with "real blogs" and offer a lifetime guarantee on the links they build. This guarantee means they will replace a link if it is removed.

Fatjoe has fixed prices. One guest post placement generally starts at $199. You can also buy monthly plans or bundles that come with content writing. Knowing the exact cost upfront helps agencies plan their spending for different clients.

It's best for marketing agencies and freelancers — people who need someone else to build the links reliably. They then put their own brand on the work and deliver it to their clients. Simple packages with clear promises make that process smooth.

5. Page One Power

Page One Power doesn't want to be just another supplier. They talk about being a strategic partner. Their team, based entirely in the U.S., does everything by hand. They concentrate on forming real connections with website owners. Their motto sums it up: they "build links, not buy them," following Google's rules carefully.

Their service is highly customized. They begin with an SEO blueprint that addresses technical issues and content strategy alongside link building. Each client gets a dedicated account manager and an SEO engineer. The process involves creative strategies like digital PR, linkable asset creation, and custom content development to earn authoritative links.

All that personalized attention costs more. A standard price you'll hear for a single backlink is about $600. This rate covers any link type, whether it's placed in an existing article or on a resource page.

It's best for bigger, stable companies in fields with fierce competition — clients who need a full-scale SEO ally for the long run, not a service that just sells them a few links.

Now that you have an overview of the main players, some practical questions usually come up about the process of buying backlinks itself.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are the most popular platforms for buying backlinks?

The providers discussed in this article are among the most popular and established options. Platforms like INSERT.LINK and services like Fatjoe are frequently cited for their specific models. For a broader industry view, trusted publications like Search Engine Land and Search Engine Journal publish regular roundups and guides on available services.

Where can I find reliable sources to buy high-quality backlinks?

Good starting points are established industry publications. They often put together reviewed lists. Look for articles with titles like "8 link building services to consider for higher rankings in 2025" on Search Engine Land, or "How To Choose Link Building Services For 2026" on Search Engine Journal.

Don't stop there. Take any service name from those lists and check it on Clutch or G2. These sites collect user reviews. See what past clients really say about their experience.

Are paid backlinks effective for SEO and AI Search rankings?

Links still matter for Google. For AI search results, the connection works a bit differently. Those systems often pull information from sources they deem trustworthy. A link from a respected site in your field can signal that your brand is one of those credible sources. This might make an AI tool more likely to reference your content.

How much do quality paid links for SEO usually cost?

You can find simple guest posts for less than $100. A link from a leading industry news site often costs more than $1,000. What you pay directly ties to the linking site's reputation, how many people visit it, and how closely it matches your topic.

What are the best places to buy backlinks safely?

"Safe" here comes down to a few things. Work with providers who follow accepted SEO practices. They should show you the exact website where your link will go before you pay. They must steer clear of shady private blog networks. Also, check that they have plenty of positive feedback on independent review sites like Clutch. The providers we've listed here follow these principles.

Should I buy backlinks directly or use a platform or service?

It depends on your resources and preferences. A direct marketplace like INSERT.LINK gives you control and speed. A managed service like Editorial.Link or Page One Power handles the complex work of outreach and negotiation for you. An agency-focused option like Fatjoe offers scalability for client work. Your choice balances control, time, and budget.

Conclusion

Your decision on where to buy backlinks comes down to how you prefer to work and what you need to achieve. Need to pick pages yourself and move fast? A self-serve marketplace makes sense. 

Maybe you want to outsource everything and pay only for links that go live. A managed, performance-based agency suits that. If you need consistent, scalable work for your own clients, find a service with fixed-price packages and white-label reports.

All these models exist for a reason. Pick the provider whose way of working matches how you operate. Their output quality should meet your needs, and the cost should make sense for what you're trying to achieve.

Verdent AI today announced major updates to its standalone desktop app, an AI-powered coding tool designed to help human developers juggle parallel tasks with unrivaled speed and clarity. Engineered to support the way developers naturally think and work, the app preserves full context across tasks, enabling seamless, instant, switching between codebases, features, bug fixes and experiments, without losing progress or momentum. This release marks a significant leap forward in developer productivity, establishing Verdent AI as a key enabler of faster, smarter, and more human-centered software creation.

"At Verdent, we believe the future of software development is both more autonomous and more human," said Zhijie Chen, co-founder and CEO of Verdent AI. "Developers shouldn't have to fight their tools. They should be supported by AI that understands complex workflows, keeps every thread of context alive, and works alongside them like a true partner. Our standalone app is smarter, faster and fundamentally more intuitive."

Key features of the desktop app include:

• Seamless multitasking with context reservation: Modern development rarely happens one task at a time — and Verdent is built for that reality. The standalone app allows users to move effortlessly between multiple projects, features, and fixes while keeping every detail in mind. With Verdent’s context‑preserving AI, each task remains fully “alive,” so when users switch focus, they can continue exactly where they left off — without reloading files, retracing logic, or mentally starting over.
• Run parallel tasks without interference: Intelligent workspace orchestration ensures each agent functions in its own isolated environment. Developers can explore different approaches, test alternatives and merge the best results, without conflicts or cross-contamination. No more tangled dependencies or accidental overwrites. When the user is ready, they can easily compare outcomes and merge only what works best. It’s experimentation with confidence and iteration without compromise.
• Parallel agent execution acts as a personal dev team: The system deploys multiple agents simultaneously across different tasks, functioning like a coordinated micro-team. Processes that would take a single agent hours can now be completed in minutes, accelerating complex project cycles 10x times faster than previously. It’s like adding more hands to a user’s workflow — without adding complexity. The user stays in control, while Verdent handles the heavy lifting in the background.

"Developers should be supported by AI that understands complex workflows, keeps every thread of context alive, and works alongside them like a true partner," Chen concludes.

The Wyatt Fertility Foundation and the Conceive Fertility Foundation, two national nonprofit organizations committed to expanding access, education, and research in fertility care, today announce the five recipients of their 2025 Fall IVF Grant Program.

Each recipient will receive a $15,000 IVF grant to help offset the cost of IVF treatment. In addition, recipients will receive $1,000 toward preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), generously provided by CooperSurgical, a long-standing leader in fertility and women’s health.

The national grant program first launched in 2024, and the fall campaign drew more than 450 applications from across the United States. Each story reflected the emotional, physical, and financial realities faced by individuals and couples navigating infertility. The recipients were selected following a comprehensive review process and represent diverse family-building journeys.

“While every applicant’s story was deeply personal, a common thread emerged — infertility often brings profound emotional strain alongside physical and financial challenges,” said Dr. Alice D. Domar, health psychologist, chief compassion officer at Inception Fertility, and director of the Inception Research Institute. “Programs like this help shine a light on the lived experience of infertility and reinforce the urgent need for greater access to compassionate, comprehensive fertility care.”

The five grant recipients include aspiring parents who have persevered through a wide range of challenges, including pregnancy and infant loss, failed IUI cycles, endometriosis, and male factor infertility. Despite these obstacles, each remains devoted to their hope of building a family.

The Wyatt Fertility Foundation is the nonprofit arm of Inception Fertility™, the largest provider of fertility services in North America. A 501(c)(3) organization, the foundation is dedicated to helping individuals and couples achieve their dreams of parenthood through assisted reproductive technology (ART). The organization was founded by Inception Fertility CEO TJ Farnsworth and his wife, Margaret Farnsworth, who welcomed their first child, Wyatt, through IVF.

“We are honored to support this program and the individuals whose resilience and determination inspire everything we do,” said Margaret Farnsworth, executive director of The Wyatt Fertility Foundation. “As the year comes to a close, we are proud to help provide meaningful support to these recipients as they continue their family-building journeys in 2026.”

The Conceive Fertility Foundation is the nonprofit arm of Caden Lane, a direct-to-consumer lifestyle brand centered around the birth of a child. A 501(c)(3) organization, the foundation supports individuals impacted by infertility through education, advocacy, and financial assistance. Caden Lane CEO Katy Mimari launched the foundation following her own experience with infertility and a desire to help reduce the financial barriers faced by so many hopeful parents. A portion of Caden Lane’s proceeds supports the foundation’s work. 

“At Caden Lane, family is at the heart of everything we do,” said Katy Mimari, CEO of Caden Lane and The Conceive Fertility Foundation. “We are deeply grateful to partner once again with The Wyatt Fertility Foundation to help make parenthood possible for these recipients. As we head into the holiday season, we are honored to support their next steps and celebrate the hope ahead.” 

About Wyatt Foundation

Wyatt Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping individuals and couples achieve their dream of building a family through assisted reproductive technology (ART) by reducing the financial barriers to IVF through scholarships awarded based on financial need and clinical factors determining potential success. The foundation has two main goals: to provide financial assistance to individuals and couples who cannot afford fertility treatments and to fund research in the field of infertility.

The organization was started by TJ Farnsworth the founder and CEO of Inception Fertility™ and his wife Margaret who successfully conceived their first child through IVF. Upon the birth of their son Wyatt, TJ reflected back on his family's experience as patients. He realized that many aspiring parents were carrying the same emotional burden that he and his wife had — and that few fertility clinics took a holistic approach to consider the physical, psychological, financial and mental aspects of infertility.

Slurry pumping has become one of the most crucial processes in today's industrial age. It is the process of transferring a mixture of solid particles and liquids, where the solid particles can vary in their size, shape, and nature. The types of solid particles vary by industry and application. This mixture of liquid and solid particles is transferred using specially designed slurry pumps.

The principal mechanism of these pumps is to generate high centrifugal force using rotating impellers to push the accumulated slurries along the pipeline to the desired location or disposal site. These slurry pumps are uniquely designed to be different from other pumps. They are usually made up of wear-resistant materials to withstand harsh pumping conditions. They feature an open-impeller design to prevent clogging and to allow coarse or large particles, abrasive slurries, and dense mixtures to pass efficiently.

Why is Slurry Pumping Crucial?

Industries such as dredging, mining, agriculture, and wastewater treatment rely heavily on slurry pumping, as this process enables them to transfer abrasive, corrosive slurries. Since most slurries in these industries contain particles such as sand, rocks, chemicals, mud, tailings, or other industrial waste, they can damage pumping equipment or cause production interruptions. Other damages may include overheating of the pumps, increased energy consumption, seal failures, increased downtime, and more. Furthermore, environmental concerns escalate alarmingly if slurries are not disposed of properly.

Hence, removing these solid-laden slurries is crucial to maintaining operational efficiency, reliability, and ecological balance throughout the process.

Are Traditional Pumps Enough for Pumping Slurries?

Though traditional pumps have been in use for decades now, they are not efficient enough to pump or transfer slurries. These pumps often fail to withstand the varied nature, size, and shape of slurries and the particles they contain. In most cases, the solid particles present in the slurries cause wear and tear in the pump's internal components. This results in the degradation of pump components, such as impellers, inner linings, casings, pump seals, and other parts. As a result, the pump requires frequent repairs and parts replacement.

Also, since the size of the solid particles in the slurries varies, traditional pumps often clog, increasing downtime and operational costs. Clogging is also a reason pumps overheat over time, resulting in internal damage, leakage, high pressure, poor cooling conditions, and repeated operational failures. Considering all these conditions with the traditional pumps, the overall cost for parts replacement and operational maintenance increases over time, making the slurry pumping process extremely challenging and cost-inefficient.

Introducing EDDY Pump — Globally Trusted for Slurry Pumping

EDDY Pump Corporation is an American pump manufacturer known for its innovation in the dredging and pumping industry. The company is known for its patented pump technology that harnesses the power of synchronized 'eddy current' rather than relying on traditional impellers. This enables EDDY Pump to handle abrasive, large particles, and viscous slurries efficiently.

Today, EDDY Pump is globally known for its range of slurry pumps, including submersible slurry pumps, flooded suction pumps, and self-priming slurry pumps. These pumps are widely used and trusted across industries such as mining, dredging, oil and gas, wastewater management, construction, and others.

The unique design, patented technology, and robust build of these slurry pumps allow them to deliver maximum power with almost zero failures and minimal downtime. With continuous innovation, high-quality manufacturing, and successful project delivery worldwide, slurry pumps from EDDY Pump have earned the trust of industry leaders worldwide.

EDDY Pump Slurry Pumps in Brief

As a global leader in slurry pumping, EDDY Pump offers a range of slurry pumps designed to handle the toughest of slurries across industries. Their line-up includes: submersible slurry pumps, flooded suction pumps, and self-priming slurry pumps (electric, hydraulic, and diesel)

1. Submersible Slurry Pumps

The submersible slurry pumps from EDDY Pump are designed to operate fully submerged. Meaning, they can operate while being fully submerged in the liquid or source that needs to be pumped. They are designed to eliminate priming and reduce the risk of cavitation. Thus, they are ideal for pumping slurries with high solid concentrations. Additionally, their robust, heavy-duty construction enables them to withstand even the most challenging conditions. Thus, they are ideal for harsh environments and applications such as mining, dredging, and wastewater treatment.

The EDDY submersible slurry pumps range in size from 1 to 16 inches and deliver flow rates up to 12,000 GPM. These pumps can generate heads of up to 350 feet and a solid passage of 15 inches, depending on the model.

2. Flooded Suction Pumps

The flooded suction pumps are designed to operate with the fluid source positioned above the pump. This allows gravity to push or feed the slurry into the pump's suction. As a result, the pump remains primed, resulting in continuous slurry transfer with high efficiency. These flooded suction pumps are ideal for dredging, transferring highly viscous or abrasive material, and handling sludge, muck, and paste. This type of slurry pump can be installed in various configurations to suit the pumping environment, ensuring high efficiency, long service life, and minimal maintenance. They can also be customized with a variety of options to fit specific pumping needs. This makes them a versatile choice in environments that require high output.

The EDDY Pump flooded suction slurry pumps come in 1- to 16-inch sizes, with flow rates up to 12,000 GPM. These pumps have a head capability of up to 350 feet and a solids handling capability of up to 70% solids by volume.

3. Self-Priming Slurry Pumps

The EDDY Pump Self-Priming Slurry Pump is available in three variants — electric, hydraulic, and diesel. As these pumps don't require manual priming, they are highly efficient for applications that require mobility. They are ideal options for emergency dewatering, construction sites, and environmental cleanup applications that require frequent starts and stops.

The electric self-priming slurry pump is ideal for locations or environments with available power options. This pump ensures zero-emission pumping, long runtime, and 24/7 operation. It is a perfect choice for controlled environments with consistent loads. The electric self-priming slurry pump is available in 1- to 16-inch options with a power of 2.5–2000-HP. These pumps can generate a flow up to 12,000 GPM with a head range of up to 350 feet.

The hydraulic self-priming slurry pump is often considered the ideal slurry pump for power and control. As external HPUs power this variant, they can be mounted in remote locations or in mobile operations with limited power options. The hydraulic self-priming slurry pump is available with a power range of 2.5–2000-HP. These pumps can generate a flow up to 12,000 GPM with a head of up to 350 feet.

The diesel-powered self-priming slurry pump is a great combination of power and portability. It is ideal for heavy-duty applications in challenging environments, such as remote mining zones, flood-hit areas, and disaster response operations. The diesel self-priming slurry pump is available with an engine output of 20–2000-HP. Their flow rate can reach 12,000 GPM with a head of up to 350 feet.

EDDY Pump Slurry Pumps vs. Traditional Pumps

Slurry pumps from EDDY Pump stand out for their patented open-rotor technology. While traditional pumps operate with semi-open or closed impellers that typically have tight clearances, EDDY slurry pumps use a non-clogging rotor design. This unique design allows wider clearance between the rotor and valve, enhancing reliability and durability in harsh pumping conditions.

As a result, while traditional pumps become prone to clogging, slurry pumps from EDDY Pump can easily allow solids measuring up to 15 inches in diameter or 30%–70% solids by volume. This technology in the EDDY Pump reduces the contact between the moving parts and abrasive slurry, minimizing wear and maintenance requirements.

Thus, while traditional pumps often break down or require repairs, EDDY Pump slurry pumps operate seamlessly, reducing maintenance costs. With EDDY Pump, there is no frequent repair, downtime, or low efficiency.

All EDDY Pump slurry pumps are self-priming by design, construction, and nature. Meaning they can run dry for more extended periods, enabling easy startup and operation in challenging conditions. On the other hand, traditional centrifugal pumps require constant priming and are highly prone to damage if they run dry for long.

EDDY Pump also stands out for the materials used in its slurry pumps. Unlike traditional slurry pumps, EDDY slurry pumps are constructed from premium materials, including chrome, polyurethane, and stainless-steel alloys. The metals used in these pumps are engineered to withstand the most abrasive conditions and resist the corrosive nature of the toughest industrial wastes and slurries. This results in extended pump life, reduced downtime, and almost zero maintenance costs.

Mining Industry Use Cases

EDDY Pump slurry pumps play an essential role in mining by keeping the production line moving. Be it an open-pit or an underground mine, these slurry pumps keep transferring slurries and other materials that could halt the entire production line. The mining slurry pumps from EDDY Pump are designed to handle challenging conditions and ensure continuous operations and sustainability.

• Ore transportation: The mined ore is transported from the mining site to processing facilities using mining slurry pumps. These pumps further help remove abrasive particles from the ore mixture and maintain a continuous flow of the extracted ore.
• Tailings management: Once the valuable minerals are extracted from the ore mixtures, the remaining waste materials are discharged as a slurry foam called tailings. Mining slurry pumps from EDDY Pump help significantly transfer tailings to the tailings pond and other designated sites.
• Hydro transport: Mines that require transferring extracted materials across long distances use the mining submersible slurry pumps for hydro transport.
• Coke slurry handling: Since coke is an important component in the steel industry, especially in iron production, it requires careful handling and transportation. The mining slurry pumps handle these coke slurries, enabling efficient transport.
• Dewatering: EDDY Pump slurry pumps are designed to remove excess water from mining pits, excavation sites, and other areas, facilitating optimal working conditions.

EDENA Capital Partners has secured an investment of up to $100 million via an EDENA utility token purchase agreement from GEM Token Fund ISA Ltd. ("GEM" or the "Fund"). GEM's sponsor and majority GP shareholder is GEM Group, a $3.4 billion alternative investment group based in Paris, New York, and the Bahamas — with a 30-year track record of 570 transactions across 70 countries. 

The funding will accelerate EDENA's rollout of government-approved Security Token Offering (STO) exchanges in Indonesia and Egypt, designed to transform real estate, carbon credits, corporate equity, bonds, and commodities into regulated digital securities starting at $10.

GEM's investment is structured to support EDENA's multi-year roadmap. The funding will accelerate the rollout of government-approved STO exchanges in Indonesia and Egypt, with planned investments in carbon credit project acquisition, the development of a real estate pipeline through the BEK Group partnership, platform liquidity, and technology infrastructure delivered through partners such as UI Networks and Group KS. These initiatives form the foundation for EDENA's expansion across ASEAN, MENA, and Africa and support the launch of fully regulated digital securities markets in both jurisdictions.

The investment comes as global real-world asset tokenization is projected to reach $16 trillion by 2030. EDENA positions Indonesia as its ASEAN hub, leveraging its approvals to build a regulated STO market in Southeast Asia. Through its joint venture with BEK Group, led by former Egyptian Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab, EDENA is also building Egypt into its MENA and Africa hub.

"GEM's commitment is a strong validation of our thesis that digital securities infrastructure, when built directly with governments and local exchanges, provide compliant access to emerging market assets," said Wook Lee, CEO and founder of EDENA Capital Partners. "With this investment, we are moving from vision to implementation. Indonesia and Egypt will launch as fully regulated STO exchanges, with real assets in the pipeline. Our goal is to make institutional-grade investments in climate, infrastructure, and real estate accessible to ordinary investors, while giving global capital a compliant way to enter high-growth markets."

EDENA plans to use the new capital to deliver several milestones between 2026 and 2030. The company expects to launch its Indonesia STO exchange and generate first revenues in Q1 2026, followed by the Egypt exchange launching later in 2026. The target is 20 to 30 STOs across both markets in 2026, and to begin IPO preparation in 2027. By 2030, EDENA aims to be active in more than 30 countries with over $10 billion in tokenized assets.

A portion of the investment will be used to acquire and warehouse core assets, including Indonesian carbon credits, Egyptian real estate, corporate equity, bonds, and commodities. These assets will seed liquidity for the exchanges at launch, giving both institutional and retail investors access to high-quality, government-aligned offerings on day one.

The investment also builds on EDENA's regulatory track record. The EDENA token has been officially approved by the Indonesian government for listing on domestic exchanges. EDENA is an OJK sandbox applicant in Indonesia, a partner of the Securities and Exchange Regulator of Cambodia (SERC), and operates a cross-border digital securities joint venture in Egypt. The company's core strategy is to co-develop infrastructure with public authorities, operating only within approved securities frameworks.

EDENA's token is an ERC-20 asset on Ethereum that serves as the required payment method for STO investments, with trading fee discounts of up to 50%, staking rewards, and governance participation. The token is currently listed on eight exchanges globally, including Indodax in Indonesia, MEXC, BingX, Pionex US, Mercado Bitcoin in Brazil, Coinstore, Mobee, and Pionex. EDENA expects the platform to channel increasing volumes of capital into climate and infrastructure projects over the next five to ten years, including Indonesian energy transition and carbon projects.

About EDENA Capital Partners

EDENA Capital Partners is pioneering government-approved digital securities infrastructure across emerging markets. The company builds and operates regulated Security Token Offering (STO) exchanges that transform traditionally illiquid real-world assets — real estate, corporate equity, carbon credits, bonds, and commodities — into accessible digital securities starting from $10. Headquartered in Singapore, EDENA operates in Indonesia as its ASEAN hub and Egypt as its MENA/Africa hub through a strategic partnership with BEK Group, led by former Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab. This network covers 2.6 billion people across 70 countries with a $250M+ asset pipeline. The EDENA token, officially approved by the Indonesian government, serves as the primary payment method for all STO investments on the platform.

In recent years, a quiet but powerful trend has emerged in small and medium-sized businesses: an exodus of companies from high-tax, high-regulation jurisdictions like California, New York, Michigan, and Illinois, and into more business-friendly environments — chief among them, Florida and Texas. For owners of limited liability companies (LLCs), corporations, and partnerships seeking a fresh start, the favorable tax climates and pro-entrepreneurial legal frameworks of the Sunshine and Lone Star states make them prime destinations.

This trend has been amplified by the recent, high-profile elections of Zohran Mamdani in New York City and Abigail Spanberger in Virginia. Large ventures including Coinbase, Tesla, and SpaceX have announced they are redomiciling out of Delaware to greener pastures.

While transferring a business to a new state might sound as simple as filing a form or updating an address, the legal process — variously known as redomestication, redomiciling, transfer, or conversion — is far more nuanced and often misunderstood because of the conflicting, and frequently misleading, information available online and on social media.

What is redomestication?

Redomestication refers to the legal process of transferring a business entity's state of incorporation or formation from one state to another, such as moving a Delaware corporation, New York limited liability company, or California partnership to another state, thereby making that new state the entity's home jurisdiction. Crucially, it allows the company to retain its federal Employer Identification Number (EIN), bank accounts, contractual obligations, business credit history, and — most importantly — its legal identity.

In short, a redomesticated company is the same company in the eyes of the law, just governed under the laws of a new state. This process differs substantially from foreign qualification, where a business simply registers to do business in a second state without leaving the original one, and from mergers, which require combining legal entities and often trigger taxable transactions or new EINs.

Why Florida and Texas?

Florida and Texas both offer an unusually business-friendly legal and regulatory environment. These jurisdictions impose no personal income tax, no franchise or income tax on most business entities, and minimal regulatory overhead. When coupled with strong asset protection statutes and a robust, technology-forward state government, the legal infrastructure is designed to encourage business migration.

These benefits are not merely theoretical. Cummings & Cummings Law, a law firm led by a dually-licensed attorney and CPA, reports a significant uptick in inquiries from business owners based in California, New York, and Delaware, many of whom cite burdensome state tax laws and administrative inefficiencies as their reason for leaving: "We see companies of all sizes and structures — LLCs, corporations, subchapter S entities, and others — seeking to transfer their businesses," says Chad D. Cummings, Esq., CPA, the firm's principal attorney. "They're not just chasing tax savings; they're looking for a jurisdiction that respects entrepreneurs."

Advantages of Redomestication Over Other Methods

Redomestication carries several structural and legal advantages over foreign registration or mergers. While every situation is different, these generally include:

• Preserving EIN and Business Credit: Because the legal entity remains continuous, there's no need to apply for a new EIN or rebuild business credit — an invaluable asset for companies with longstanding vendor or banking relationships.
• Retaining Legal Identity: The redomiciled business keeps its legal identity intact, maintaining continuity of contracts, licenses, and litigation history.
• Avoiding Multi-State Compliance: Unlike foreign registration, redomestication allows a business to dissolve its nexus to the former state, eliminating the need to file duplicative annual reports or pay ongoing franchise taxes in the former state of domicile.
• Bypassing Taxable Mergers: Unlike a merger, which may involve asset transfers and complex tax consequences, redomestication is a non-taxable transaction under the Internal Revenue Code when properly executed.
• Operational Continuity: Redomestication avoids the operational disruption that typically comes with forming a new entity or merging existing ones, including the need to notify clients, amend contracts, or restructure internal ownership documents.

Why Legal Counsel Matters

Because of the state and federal legal and tax implications, redomestication is not a "do-it-yourself" project. Unlike forming a new LLC, the redomestication process involves drafting and filing multiple legal instruments: a Plan of Conversion, Articles of Conversion, Articles of Formation, and a Unanimous Written Consent of the owners. Mistakes — particularly those involving timing or filing sequence — can result in IRS scrutiny, state-level penalties, or even inadvertent dissolution of the company when moving a business to Florida or transferring a company to Texas.

Furthermore, failure to properly redomesticate may result in the business being penalized by the Secretary of State for operating without approval and against state law.

Cummings & Cummings Law warns against relying on non-attorney online platforms for such high-stakes transitions. "We routinely assist clients who tried to handle the redomestication process on their own or through a non-lawyer service, only to find themselves in a quagmire of rejected filings, duplicate entities, or worse — accidental dissolution," says Cummings. He continues: "These 'clean-up' jobs, regrettably, take far longer and cost far more to resolve than if we had been retained at the outset."

Final Thoughts

As companies continue to flee high-cost states in search of better tax policy, regulatory efficiency, and legal certainty, Florida and Texas have emerged as beacons for small and mid-sized businesses. But migrating a business requires more than good intentions; it requires competent legal and tax guidance to ensure compliance, continuity, and protection.

Whether you operate a closely held LLC or a multistate corporation, the process of redomesticating your business should not be left to guesswork. For business owners eyeing Florida or Texas as their next base of operations, redomestication may be the smartest — and least expensive — way to make the move.

Genevate, the leading research, analytics, and marketing firm focused on Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), today released a new research report on the transformative impact of GEO on the industrial real estate sector. The report, which focuses on the highly competitive South Florida market, reveals that a strategic focus on GEO is enabling top commercial real estate brokers to dominate AI search engine results, leading to increased visibility and high-quality lead generation.

Genevate analyzed over 200 AI search queries across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini to determine broker ranking patterns. The research highlights a significant shift in consumer behavior, with high-intent searches increasingly moving from traditional search engines to AI-powered platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. According to a recent Bain & Company study, 80% of consumers now rely on “zero-click” AI-generated summaries for at least 40% of their searches, reducing organic web traffic by an estimated 15% to 25%. This trend is particularly pronounced in high-stakes industries like commercial real estate, where decision-makers are leveraging AI for in-depth research and to identify top-performing brokers.

“The mechanics of consumer discovery are shifting from traditional search results to AI-generated summaries,” said Brett Kleinberg, CEO of Genevate. “As generative AI plays a growing role in decision-making, businesses must influence how their authority and reputation are interpreted and presented by these systems. Our data indicates that brokers investing in GEO are positioning themselves as the default authorities in AI-driven responses, strengthening their lead-generation performance.”

The South Florida Industrial Real Estate Market: A Case Study in GEO Authority

The South Florida industrial real estate market is one of the most dynamic and competitive in the United States. With vacancy rates at historic lows and demand for industrial space surging, competition among brokers for visibility and client attention has intensified. Genevate’s research found that while many firms continue to rely on traditional marketing tactics, a select few are achieving unprecedented visibility by optimizing for AI search.

Larry Genet: A Model of GEO Success

Genevate’s analysis identified Larry Genet, Vice Chairman at CBRE, as the most prominent example of GEO success in the South Florida industrial market. Genet is the top-ranked industrial real estate broker in South Florida across major generative AI platforms, including ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, for queries such as “top South Florida industrial brokers,” “Miami warehouse broker,” and “industrial real estate expert Florida. 

AI platforms frequently cite Genet for his data-driven market insights, consistent media coverage, and longstanding digital footprint, which are key attributes generative systems weigh when ranking subject-matter authorities. Genet’s leadership in AI search visibility mirrors his offline performance; many industrial broker of the year awards, Fortune 500 clients, and more than 20 million square feet of listings for lease or sale across South Florida’s industrial real estate market.

An analysis of Google’s AI Overviews reveals that Genet is the only individual broker specifically named in the “Specialized Brokers” category, a testament to his strong digital presence and focused GEO strategy. The AI summary highlights him for his “industrial specialization” and “success in the industrial sector.”

This top ranking is no accident. In a recent interview around the evolving intersection of digital authority and client trust, Genet emphasized the shift toward generative AI visibility stating, “Today, it’s about showing up online where people search the most, whether that’s through Google searches or generative engines like ChatGPT. When someone types in ‘industrial warehouse broker Miami,’ we want our team to be part of that conversation. It’s how trust is built before a client even picks up the phone.”

Genevate’s research shows that brokers applying structured GEO principles see an average 230% increase in AI-summary visibility within six months. Among those, Genet ranked highest for authority consistency and AI citation frequency across all tested platforms. This measurable impact demonstrates why forward-looking professionals like Genet are emerging as default authorities across generative platforms. Genet remains the only broker consistently named by multiple AI systems for his industrial specialization, reinforcing his position as South Florida’s default AI-recognized authority in industrial real estate.

How We Ranked the Top 5 Gold IRA Companies

To build a trustworthy and accurate list of the Top 5 Gold IRA Companies in 2025, we followed a strict evaluation process based on the most important factors for long-term investors. Our rankings are not influenced by hype or promotions — they are based on real performance, transparency, and customer satisfaction.

Below are the key criteria we used to rank each company:

1. Trust and industry reputation: Trust is the foundation of any Gold IRA investment. We evaluated how long each company has been in business, its brand credibility, public reputation, and complaint history. We also reviewed Better Business Bureau (BBB) ratings, customer dispute records, and overall industry standing. Companies with a clean track record and long-term market presence ranked higher.
2. Fees and pricing transparency: We closely examined how clearly each company discloses its setup fees, annual maintenance charges, storage costs, and markup policies. Gold IRA investments are long-term, so even small hidden fees can significantly impact returns. Companies with upfront pricing, written disclosures, and no surprise charges received higher rankings.
3. Storage and security: Since Gold IRAs involve physical metals, secure storage is critical. We reviewed whether each company uses IRS-approved depositories, the level of insurance coverage, and the availability of segregated vs non-segregated storage. Companies offering fully insured storage with top-tier vault security and regular audits ranked the highest.
4. Customer support and experience: We analyzed thousands of real customer reviews to understand the quality of support provided. This included response time, professionalism, clarity of communication, and long-term account support. Higher rankings were given to companies that offer dedicated account representatives and ongoing customer assistance, not just support during setup.
5. Ease of setup and rollover process: Many investors use a401(k) or IRA rollover to fund their Gold IRA. We evaluated how smooth and beginner-friendly this process is, including paperwork handling, coordination with custodians, and transfer timelines. Companies offering a fully guided, low-stress setup process ranked much higher.
6. Product quality and IRS compliance: Only companies offering IRS-approved gold and silver products were considered. We verified metal purity standards, product authenticity, and compliance with federal IRA laws. Companies with a strong focus on quality, compliance, and investor protection earned top positions.

Who Should Invest in a Gold IRA in 2025?

A Gold IRA is best suited for investors who are focused on long-term wealth protection rather than short-term profits. In 2025, with rising inflation and global economic uncertainty, Gold IRAs continue to be a strong retirement diversification tool.

A Gold IRA is ideal for:

• Retirees who want to protect their life savings from inflation and stock market volatility
• Inflation hedgers seeking to preserve purchasing power during economic instability
• Portfolio diversifiers who want to reduce dependence on stocks, bonds, and paper assets
• High-net-worth individuals looking for stable, physical asset protection
• Long-term investors who do not need quick liquidity and can stay invested for years

Gold IRAs are especially useful for investors who prioritizestability, security, and retirement protection over aggressive growth strategies.

Risks of Gold IRA Investments

While a Gold IRA is a powerful tool for long-term wealth protection, it is important to understand that no investment is completely risk-free. Gold offers stability and inflation protection, but investors should still be aware of the key risks involved before making a decision.

1. Gold price volatility: Although gold is considered a safe-haven asset, its price can still fluctuate in the short term due to changes in global markets, interest rates, and investor demand. This means the value of your Gold IRA may rise or fall over certain periods.
2. Ongoing storage and maintenance costs: Unlike paper assets, physical gold must be stored in secure, IRS-approved depositories. This comes with annual storage and maintenance fees that continue regardless of market performance, which can slightly reduce overall long-term returns.
3. Limited liquidity compared to stocks: Selling gold inside a retirement account is not as instant as selling stocks or ETFs. The process involves liquidating physical metal, which can take time. For investors who need quick access to cash, this can be a limitation.
4. No guaranteed profits: While gold is effective for wealth preservation, it is not designed for guaranteed or high rapid growth. Its main role in a portfolio is protection, not aggressive profit generation.
5. Long-term investment commitment: Gold IRAs work best as a long-term strategy. Investors who try to trade short-term price movements may face higher costs and lower results. Patience is essential for success with precious metals

Days after the mainnet launch, the MENA region's first and largest institutional L2 has secured partnerships with BlackRock, Mastercard, and Franklin Templeton, demonstrating institutional confidence in compliance-first blockchain architecture.

The Institutional Validation

Each of ADI's latest partnerships targets different infrastructure needs:

• BlackRock signed an MoU with the ADI Foundation to explore accelerating blockchain adoption across financial markets and strengthening the emirate's status as a global digital asset hub. The partnership targets institution-grade tokenized asset structures, improved distribution, and clear regulatory frameworks that support market growth.
• The Mastercard partnership is focused on blockchain-based payments and asset tokenization across the Middle East. The collaboration brings stablecoin settlement, cross-border payments, and digital asset rails to the region with regulatory alignment built in. 
• Franklin Templeton signed an MoU with the ADI Foundation to explore regulated digital asset infrastructure within ADGM. The partnership focuses on building compliant pathways for institutions to create and launch tokenized products, developing digital rails for improved distribution and settlement, and conducting research on stablecoins and tokenized assets that align with regulatory requirements.
• The ADI Foundation also announced a UAE expansion on December 10, 2025, further demonstrating momentum and institutional blockchain adoption in the region. 

Three global institutions partnering within days of launch signal what they need: a blockchain built for regulatory frameworks. These partnerships expand the ADI Foundation's influence, reach, and capabilities, bringing more projects into the ecosystem as enterprises discover ADI Chain through BlackRock, Mastercard, Franklin Templeton, and expanding institutional networks.

Launch and Access

The ADI utility token launched simultaneously with the mainnet across Kraken, Crypto.com, and KuCoin, and became available through Wallet in Telegram and Fasset shortly after.

The market response showed demand for compliance-ready infrastructure: that interest extends beyond institutional players.

The Build Continues

BlackRock, Mastercard, and Franklin Templeton joined an ecosystem spanning partnerships across 20 countries. Over 50 institutional and enterprise projects are in the pipeline for deployment on ADI Chain, with institutional and technology partnerships continuing to expand.

Projects deploying on ADI Chain already demonstrate the network's institutional use cases: 

• Near Protocol's TravAI brings travel management onchain, with payments settled on ADI Chain. 
• ADREC’s strategic partnership with the ADI Foundation targets pilot projects across Abu Dhabi's real estate sector, covering property registration, title validation, transaction management, and shared ownership models.
• Esyasoft Holding's collaboration is focused on energy transition through blockchain infrastructure for governments and utilities. 
• Emirates Driving Company partnered with the ADI Foundation to pilot blockchain solutions across the UAE's driver education ecosystem, streamlining workflows and modernizing payments.

The foundation's strategic partnerships expand its capabilities and market access: ZKsync powers ADI Chain's zero-knowledge proof infrastructure, Alchemy provides national-scale deployment capabilities, WalletConnect enables cross-chain interoperability, and Covalent delivers real-time blockchain data for institutional applications. 

Core infrastructure milestones continue advancing as well. ADI Chain was chosen to host the UAE Dirham-backed stablecoin, which will be issued by two major players in the region: First Abu Dhabi Bank and IHC, and is set to be regulated by the UAE Central Bank. 

Alongside technical infrastructure, the Foundation will launch an educational initiative, ‘Future Tech 4.0’ in partnership with ADGM and leading universities to develop over 10,000 Web3 specialists.

A Year of Building

Most L2 blockchains compete on transaction speed and low fees. ADI Chain took a different approach, building for compliance, regulatory alignment, and government deployment. The thesis was straightforward: emerging market governments and institutions need blockchain infrastructure designed specifically for them.

One year ago, the ADI Foundation announced its formation at Abu Dhabi Finance Week. Last week, it returned to the same stage to announce the ADI Chain Mainnet launch. Twelve months from formation to operational infrastructure, with partnerships confirmed within days.

BlackRock, Mastercard, and Franklin Templeton signed partnerships days after launch, showing they had monitored development closely. When institutions of that scale move that quickly, it validates the category itself. ADI established "institutional L2 for MENA" before competitors could claim the space. 

ADI aims to bring one billion people onchain by 2030. One year in: mainnet operational, partnerships across 20 countries, 50-plus projects ready to deploy, over 500 million people already within reach. The goal now looks less distant.

About ADI Chain

The ADI Foundation is an Abu Dhabi-based non-profit founded by Sirius International Holding, a subsidiary of IHC, dedicated to empowering governments and institutions in emerging markets through blockchain infrastructure. The foundation's mission is to bring one billion people into the digital economy by 2030, building on a foundation of over 500 million people already within its ecosystem reach.

ADI Chain is the first institutional Layer 2 blockchain for stablecoins and real-world assets in the MENA region, providing settlement infrastructure for First Abu Dhabi Bank and IHC's dirham-backed stablecoin, set to be regulated by the UAE Central Bank. The network operates on three pillars: compliance, efficiency, and security — serving governments implementing blockchain infrastructure across the Middle East, Asia, and Africa.

Finding a natural testosterone booster that actually delivers results can be overwhelming, especially with so many products claiming to be No. 1. If you’re new to supplements, it helps to understand how they work, what ingredients matter, and which formulas have earned real trust from customers.

Testosterone plays a huge role in how men feel throughout their lives. It supports strength, muscle mass, mood, energy, and sexual wellness. But like many processes in the body, testosterone production slows with age. Most men begin noticing changes in their 30s and 40s — less drive in the gym, stubborn belly fat, reduced motivation, and a dip in libido. For some, these shifts appear gradually; for others, they come on faster and feel harder to manage.

Natural testosterone boosters aim to support healthy hormone levels before they fall below an optimal range. While prescription treatments exist, many men prefer starting with natural supplements because they’re easier to use, widely accessible, and don’t require a doctor’s visit. Still, it’s important to choose reputable products and consult a healthcare professional if you have underlying conditions.

This guide highlights four of the best natural testosterone boosters available online today — selected for their ingredient quality, customer reviews, manufacturing standards, and overall value.

Understanding Testosterone

Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone responsible for muscle development, bone density, energy, mood stability, and sexual function. It peaks in early adulthood and gradually declines with age — usually by 1–2% each year after age 30.

Low levels can contribute to:

• Decreased libido
• Fatigue
• Muscle loss
• Irritability
• Weight gain
• Poor concentration

The American Urological Association considers 300 ng/dL or lower as clinically low.

Signs of Low Testosterone

Symptoms can vary, but common indicators include:

• Reduced sex drive
• Erectile challenges
• Hair thinning
• Muscle weakness
• Persistent tiredness
• Increased body fat
• Trouble sleeping
• Mood swings or irritability

Some men experience cognitive symptoms such as forgetfulness or lack of focus, which are easy to dismiss or misinterpret.

What Causes Low Testosterone?

Testosterone decreases naturally with age, but certain conditions accelerate this decline:

• Genetic conditions (e.g., Klinefelter syndrome)
• Testicular injury
• Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation
• Pituitary gland disorders
• Autoimmune diseases
• Prolonged illness
• HIV/AIDS
• Long-term medication use

Because the causes vary widely, testing is important for proper diagnosis.

How Low Testosterone Is Diagnosed

Doctors typically evaluate:

• Symptoms
• Medical history
• Physical health
• Total testosterone levels
• LH, FSH, prolactin, estradiol
• Blood glucose and HbA1C (if necessary)
• Vitamin D levels
• MRI scans in specific cases

A combination of tests helps determine whether supplements, lifestyle changes, or medical treatment is appropriate.

Are Natural Testosterone Boosters Legitimate?

Natural testosterone boosters are not medications. They support the body’s own hormone production using nutrients, herbs, and amino acids. According to multiple reputable health sources, these products are best used:

• When testosterone decline is mild to moderate
• As a first step before considering hormone therapy
• Alongside healthy lifestyle changes

If symptoms are severe or persist despite supplementation, medical evaluation is recommended.

Who Should Avoid Testosterone Boosters?

These supplements are not suitable for:

• Teenagers or younger males
• Women
• Individuals with diagnosed hormonal disorders
• People taking hormone medications
• Anyone with major health conditions unless cleared by a doctor

Supplements should not be mistaken for fast-acting performance enhancers. They work gradually and support long-term balance.

Best Natural Testosterone Boosters for Men Over 50: Final Thoughts

Natural testosterone boosters offer a practical way for men to support vitality, strength, and hormonal balance as they age. While they are not a cure for medical conditions, they can make a significant difference in energy, confidence, libido, and overall wellness.

As with any supplement, results take time. Most men see meaningful improvements within three to six months of consistent use. Always review refund policies and purchase directly from official websites to ensure you receive authentic products.

CoeFont, a leader in AI-driven communication solutions, launched the CoeFont Interpreter, an innovative AI-powered tool for simultaneous interpretation that enables seamless, real-time collaboration for international teams. 

For any company expanding globally, the "language barrier" is more than just a hurdle, it is often a ceiling on growth. In the era of remote work, cross-border teams are common, yet true collaboration is frequently stalled by the inability to communicate nuance in real-time.

While text-based translation tools have existed for years, they often fail to capture the context of live business discussions. This leaves companies relying on human interpreters, a solution that is often prohibitively expensive, logistically difficult to schedule, and prone to creating bottlenecks.

CoeFont Interpreter has emerged as a solution to this deadlock, offering AI-powered simultaneous interpretation that allows remote teams to communicate naturally, cost-effectively, and without the lag of traditional translation methods.

How CoeFont Works for International Teams

Unlike standard text-to-speech tools or basic meeting captions, CoeFont focuses on the flow of conversation. It acts as a real-time bridge, listening to speech in one language and instantly delivering it in another with high accuracy.

For remote international teams, this shifts the dynamic from "waiting for translation" to "having a conversation." Key advantages include:

• 24/7 availability: It eliminates the need to schedule human interpreters for late-night or early-morning calls across time zones.
• Context awareness: Unlike basic translation bots, it handles the context of business dialogue better than competitors, reducing the "broken telephone" effect.
• Cost efficiency: Operating at a fraction of the cost of human consultants, it democratizes access to high-quality interpretation for internal meetings and daily stand-ups.

Case Study: Manhattan Associates

The impact of this technology is best illustrated by Manhattan Associates, a U.S.-based SaaS leader providing supply chain solutions. Their Japanese subsidiary, Manhattan Associates K.K., faced a critical talent shortage that threatened their operational efficiency.

The "Unicorn" Talent Problem

Naohide Takatani, representative director of Manhattan Associates K.K., faced a dilemma common in specialized SaaS industries: finding "unicorn" talent. He needed employees who were not only bilingual in Japanese and English but also possessed deep expertise in supply chain logistics.

"Securing talent that meets both requirements is nearly impossible," Takatani explained. Even when bilingual staff were hired, they often lacked the specific industry experience required to handle complex client needs. Conversely, the company had a wealth of global logistics experts in their US and European offices, but they couldn't speak Japanese.

This created a silo where global expertise couldn't be leveraged in the local market.

The "Bridge" Burnout

Before adopting AI, the company relied on hiring spot interpreters or forcing bilingual employees to act as "bridges." This led to significant issues:

1. High costs: External interpreters were expensive and billed by the hour.
2. Inefficiency: Meetings dragged on as participants waited for translations.
3. Employee burnout: Bilingual employees acting as informal interpreters often felt like "punching bags," absorbing frustration from both sides of the conversation when discussions got heated.

"We tried DeepL and Microsoft Teams translation," Takatani noted, "but for live, nuanced business dialogue, they simply weren't accurate enough."

The CoeFont Solution

Manhattan Associates implemented CoeFont Interpreter in late 2025. The results were immediate.

The most significant change was the removal of the "bridge" role. Fortunately, the CoeFont Interpreter was able to cut out the middleman and help foster direct relationships. "Interpreters became unnecessary," Takatani stated. "We no longer wait for translations. Meeting times have been cut to a fraction of what they were."

Masahiro Sawada, Marketing Manager, highlighted the qualitative shift stating, "We can now speak directly with clients and overseas members. We can convey the temperature and nuance of our words without a filter. It allows us to build direct relationships rather than indirect ones."

Secondly, the tool helped unlock global resources, allowing the Japanese team to instantly tap into the company's global talent pool. "We can now assign a product manager from overseas who handles multiple projects to a Japanese case without needing a dedicated translator," Takatani said. "It allows us to utilize global know-how efficiently."

In terms of consistency and cost, the AI provided a consistent quality of translation that didn't fluctuate based on human fatigue or scheduling. At roughly 5,000 Japanese Yen (approximately $35) per hour, the cost was negligible compared to human interpretation, allowing the team to use it freely for internal syncs and late-night calls with its U.S. headquarters.

The Future of Cross-Border Collaboration

Manhattan Associates is now looking to expand the use of CoeFont beyond internal meetings to external marketing events.

"Organizing events with foreign speakers used to be a logistical nightmare involving expensive simultaneous interpreters who sometimes quit mid-event due to technical difficulty," Sawada recalled. "With AI, we can solve that instantly."

For foreign-affiliated companies and remote teams, the lesson is clear: The technology to bypass the language barrier is no longer science fiction. It is here, and it is reshaping how global business gets done.
