DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, February 26, 2026. Financing to support the UAE-based steelmaker’s expansion in low-carbon steel production Emirates NBD, a leading banking group in the Middle East, North Africa and Türkiye (MENAT) region, has successfully structured and completed a green facility for Arabian Gulf Steel Industries (AGSI). This financing will support the expansion of low-carbon steel production by AGSI, a leading private sector steel manufacturer and recycler in the UAE, noted for its low-emission production technology. AGSI, which operates with one of the lowest carbon footprints in the Middle East, will use the facility to increase low-carbon steel production capacity in response to rising demand for green steel from the real estate and construction sectors. As a pure play green company, AGSI has achieved significant milestones including being recognised as the first net-zero steel manufacturing plant in the MENA region and the first in the world to achieve carbon neutrality. The transaction, classified as ‘green’ under Emirates NBD’s Sustainable Finance Framework, strengthens the Bank’s position as a regional leader in sustainable finance and reflects its commitment to supporting the UAE’s transition to a low-carbon economy. Steel production accounts for 8% of global CO₂ emissions, making its decarbonisation central to achieving net-zero goals. As the industry continues its shift towards lower-emission iron, this transaction reflects Emirates NBD’s contributions to the UAE’s Net-Zero by 2050 agenda through sector-diverse green financing. Ahmed Al Qassim, Group Head of Wholesale Banking at Emirates NBD, said: “By structuring this green facility, we are setting a clear precedent for sustainable industrial finance. AGSI's verified status as one of the lowest carbon footprint steel producers in the region highlights its leadership in sustainable production. This collaboration between Emirates NBD and AGSI reflects a benchmark for sustainable industrial practices that is in line with the UAE’s national ambitions in green manufacturing.” The financing is aligned with the Green Loan Principles of the Loan Market Association (LMA), with strict requirements on use-of-proceeds, ongoing environmental monitoring, and annual impact reporting. This ensures market transparency and accountability, while demonstrating how financial institutions and private companies can co-create value through environmentally responsible financing solutions. Asam Hussain, CEO and Founder of Arabian Gulf Steel Industries, said: “This facility reflects growing confidence in the role industrial companies must play in delivering measured decarbonisation. Continued access to green financing supports our ability to scale low-carbon steel production responsibly, while remaining deliberate in how we invest, operate, and grow. Partnering with Emirates NBD, the leading financial institution in the region, reinforces the importance of aligning shared industrial priorities with credible financial frameworks.” Vijay Bains, Chief Sustainability Officer and Group Head of ESG, Emirates NBD , added: “Our Sustainable Finance Framework aligns each green financing facility with international standards, supported by rigorous monitoring and reporting requirements. This provides stakeholders assurance that financing delivers genuine climate benefits. The facility reflects how Emirates NBD collaborates with a wide range of industries to support the transition to a low-carbon economy.” Source Link: https://www.emiratesnbd.com/en/media-center/emirates-nbd-provides-green-facility-to-arabian-gulf-steel-industries Alexander Solomon Report is a socio-corporate media platform of highlights on company news and industry events.

ALABAMA, Unites States of America. January 23, 2026 JPMorganChase today announced new philanthropic funding to grow workforce training programs in Alabama’s advanced manufacturing and energy sectors – an initiative designed to help more Alabamians gain the skills needed for in-demand jobs. JPMorganChase’s $350,000 commitment to Alabama Possible, a nonprofit focused on expanding economic and educational opportunity for underserved communities, will strengthen Alabama’s workforce at a time of rapid business growth and rising demand for skilled talent. “A prosperous job market is the foundation of a strong economy,” said Victoria Adams Phipps, Vice President, Global Philanthropy. “Through this initiative with Alabama Possible, we’re helping to close the skills gap and ensure more Alabamians have the opportunity to obtain high-quality jobs and build stronger economic futures for themselves and their families.” The funding to Alabama Possible will support: Opening Doors to Advanced Manufacturing Careers: Alabama Possible will expand its collaboration with the Alabama Community College System, including Historically Black Community Colleges (HBCCs) and Predominantly Black Community Colleges (PBCCs), on eight career advancement programs. These programs help individuals pursuing post-secondary education develop the skills for in-demand jobs in aviation, steel and aerospace. Providing Hands-On Training for High-Demand Trades: Alabama Possible will team up with community colleges to develop two accelerated training programs for HVAC technicians and utility line workers. The new 11-week programs, developed in collaboration with Alabama Power, seek to prepare workers for in-demand jobs in the energy sector. "Alabama’s workforce future depends on expanding pathways that ensure more people step into high-wage, high-demand careers. This investment from JPMorganChase allows us to do exactly that,” said Chandra Scott, the executive director of Alabama Possible. “By strengthening skilled-trades training and elevating STEM opportunities for adult learners – especially across Alabama’s Historically Black and Predominantly Black Community Colleges – we are building a stronger, more inclusive talent pipeline for our state.” In 2025, the firm announced a philanthropic effort to help small businesses and entrepreneurs, especially in underserved communities. JPMorganChase in 2025 contributed more than $3.6 million in philanthropic funding to support small business growth, financial health and workforce development in Alabama. “Our state is growing – there are more opportunities in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure,” said Jennifer DiSalvo, the head of Chase branches in Alabama. “At the same time, many employers need more skilled workers to fill these jobs. These training programs will help people get the skills they need, build a stronger workforce, and support Alabama’s future.” A recent JPMorganChase PolicyCenter and Center for Geopolitics report, “ Working to Win: Rebuilding America’s Workforce for an Age of Geopolitical Competition ,” underscores that America’s talent shortage is now a national security risk – constraining growth in advanced manufacturing, energy, and defense. The report calls for large-scale, coordinated efforts to rebuild the nation’s skilled workforce, with a focus on critical industries like defense, energy and advanced manufacturing. “Alabama’s workforce is the backbone of our economic future,” added DiSalvo. “By investing in skills training and career pathways, we’re not only supporting local communities – we’re also helping to address the national challenge of building a resilient, competitive workforce for the industries that matter most.” Today’s announcement comes a few days before the ribbon-cutting ceremony at Chase’s Mountain Brook location, and it follows branch openings in Florence and Huntsville in December. Chase announced in 2025 that it would triple the number of branches in Alabama by 2030, expanding access to financial services and creating more than 170 new jobs. The branch openings and philanthropic support are part of the firm's larger commitment to expanding banking services for customers and helping drive a stronger economy across the state. JPMorganChase in Alabama Since 1973, JPMorganChase has fostered economic opportunity and leveraged its resources and expertise to deepen its support across Alabama. Our support includes: Offering resources including mentorship and access to capital to more than 25,000 small business customers. Supporting more than 15 state and local government, higher education, healthcare and nonprofit clients. Helping more than 20 local financial firms serve communities.

About the Security & Resiliency Initiative JPMorganChase’s commitment to workforce development in Alabama reflects the firm’s broader strategy to strengthen America’s economic resilience and competitiveness. In late 2025, the firm announced its Security & Resiliency Initiative , a $1.5 trillion, 10-year plan to facilitate, finance, and invest in industries critical to national economic security and resilience — including advanced manufacturing, defense and aerospace, energy, frontier and strategic technologies, and pharma and healthtech. As part of this initiative, the firm will make direct equity and venture capital investments of up to $10 billion to help select companies primarily in the U.S. enhance their growth, spur innovation, and accelerate strategic manufacturing.

CHICAGO, USA. January 29, 2026. The University of Chicago and health care investment firm Deerfield Management announced today the launch of Hyde Park Discovery, a collaboration to advance the development of new drugs and other life-saving treatments for disease. Leaders from the University of Chicago and Deerfield Management came together to formalize the agreement and establish Hyde Park Discovery. From left to right: Nadya Mason, Dean of Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and Interim VP for Science, Innovation and Partnerships, UChicago; Nadim Shohdy, Deerfield; Frank Nestle, Deerfield; Jennifer Ponting, AVP for Research Administration, UChicago; and Bill Slattery, Deerfield. Over the next ten years, Deerfield will provide up to $130 million in targeted funding, as well as operational and scientific expertise to advance UChicago discoveries with the potential to improve disease treatments. The signing ceremony took place on January 28th “The Biological Sciences Division at UChicago and the UChicago Medicine health system comprise a distinct environment that brings together basic researchers studying fundamental biology and physicians who provide advanced patient care. It is crucial to have the kind of support and innovative capabilities that Deerfield brings to accelerate discoveries and create meaningful results for our community and the world,” said Mark Anderson, dean of the Biological Sciences Division and the Pritzker School of Medicine and executive vice president for Medical Affairs at UChicago. In addition to this new collaboration, UChicago is also part of several other initiatives that further enhance the commercialization ecosystem on the South Side of Chicago. Other efforts include the UChicago Science Incubator at Hyde Park Labs , a strategic agreement with Orange Grove Bio to catalyze biotech innovation, and the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Chicago , through which nine UChicago-led projects were recently awarded a total of $7.2 million to support visionary early-stage research. Samir Mayekar, associate vice president and managing director of the Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation shows Deerfield Investment leaders around the offices at Harper Court, including the new Hyde Park Labs building currently under construction and set to open later this year. “Bringing innovative ideas and technologies from the University of Chicago ecosystem to the world is the mission of the Polsky Center, and collaborations such as this help us make this goal a reality,” said Samir Mayekar, associate vice president and managing director of the Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, which houses the University’s official technology transfer office. “Backed by Deerfield’s scientific capabilities, we are optimistic that this agreement and the work that follows will result in new potential treatments and cures getting into the hands of the patients who need them.” Nadya Mason, dean of the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and Interim VP for Science, Innovation and Partnerships was among the signatories. A joint steering committee made up of leadership from UChicago, the Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, and Deerfield’s scientific team will evaluate projects based on several criteria with the goal of achieving Investigational New Drug readiness on an accelerated timeline. This operating model has the potential to bring new drugs to the market more quickly and cost-effectively. “Our partnership with the University of Chicago and the Polsky Center underscores Deerfield’s conviction in the significant translational potential of the research that takes place there,” said James Flynn, managing partner at Deerfield. “In joining forces, we look forward to advancing compelling therapeutics together.” Several partners joined for the event. The University of Chicago is on the forefront of groundbreaking research and clinical development with a leading academic medical system, more than 160 interdisciplinary institutes and centers, and 50 state-of-the-art core facilities. World-class faculty bring together the fundamentals of medicine and advanced technology breakthroughs, along with expertise in computer science, AI, materials science, chemistry, and more. Last year, these researchers brought in more than $750 million in federal research awards. “We are thrilled about partnering with Deerfield in the pursuit of commercializing discoveries made at the University of Chicago that have the potential to impact patient care,” said Scott Oakes, professor and vice dean of clinical science research in the Biological Sciences Division at UChicago. “This investment attests to the incredible science being done here and helps to advance our mission of bringing the fruits of that research to the world.” Source Link: https://polsky.uchicago.edu/2025/01/29/up-to-130-million-to-fuel-drug-discovery-and-development-at-the-university-of-chicago/ Alexander Solomon Report is a socio-corporate media platform of highlights on company news and industry events.
