  • DealFlow Events Launches the DealFlow Discovery Conference – A Rebrand of the Microcap Conference

    DealFlow Events Launches the DealFlow Discovery Conference – A Rebrand of the Microcap Conference

    What’s New for 2026?

    ATLANTIC CITY, NJ / ACCESS Newswire / August 6, 2025 / DealFlow Events today announced the launch of the DealFlow Discovery Conference, an expanded version of its flagship event formerly known as The Microcap Conference. Set to take place at the Borgata Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, January 28-29, 2026, the newly branded conference reflects a broader focus on capital formation – now welcoming both public and private high-growth companies to connect with investors, strategic partners, and capital markets professionals.

    While the name has changed, the mission remains the same: to connect emerging companies with institutional and retail investors in an investment-focused environment. The 2026 event will be the largest yet, offering unlimited one-on-one meetings, expert-led discussions, and unmatched networking.

    “The DealFlow Discovery Conference is where high-growth companies come to be discovered,” said Steven Dresner, Founder of DealFlow Events. “This evolution of the Microcap Conference was driven by what investors want – more access to pre-IPO and late-stage private companies.”

    What’s New for 2026

    This conference opens the door to a wider range of investment opportunities, expanding beyond public microcap companies to feature:

    • Venture-Backed Companies – early-stage innovators raising capital and seeking strategic relationships

    • Private Equity-Backed (Pre-IPO) Companies – growth-stage businesses preparing for the public markets

    • Public Companies – U.S.-listed issuers focused on investor engagement and capital raising

    • Foreign Companies – international firms seeking U.S.-based capital and exposure

    This expansion responds to a growing trend: institutional interest in private market opportunities. By including private and pre-IPO companies, the DealFlow Discovery Conference is now even more valuable for investors – and for companies looking to raise capital.

    Attendees can still expect the high standards, streamlined format, and energy that have defined the event since its inception. For those who’ve attended in the past, it’s a bigger, broader version of the conference they already trust. For new participants – especially private companies – it’s a chance to connect directly with serious investors in a format built for fundraising.

    For more information and to apply to attend or present, visit www.DealFlowDiscoveryConference.com.

    BluWave-ai Accelerates Global Energy Transition and Data Leadership with Expanded Patent Portfolio to 43 Filings and 11 Granted

    Expands AI-ready Atlas Data Vault to >20B Global Electricity, Transport and Weather Records

    OTTAWA, ON / ACCESS Newswire / August 6, 2025 / BluWave-ai announced significant milestones in the company’s intellectual property and data capabilities. The Ottawa-based company is a leading provider of artificial intelligence (AI) software for renewable energy and transport electrification at the forefront of the global energy transition. BluWave-ai has expanded its patent portfolio to 11 patents granted and 43 patent applications filed in various countries, alongside growing the proprietary BluWave-ai Atlas data platform to over 20 billion AI pre-processed records.

    These achievements underscore the company’s innovation in developing the software systems critical for the future of renewable energy and electric transport. The expanded patent portfolio protects the company’s cutting-edge technologies using AI to optimize energy grids, manage electric vehicle (EV) charging, and enhance energy storage. This patent portfolio serves as a foundational strategy to manage the fluctuating grid-level electricity load and renewable generation with batteries and EVs, a capability that will be increasingly required by system operators globally as EV and renewable deployment continues around the world.

    As of the end of 2024, the global EV fleet had reached almost 58 million vehicles, a number projected to surpass 250 million vehicles by 2030 (Source: Neklar, July 2025). This growth will be complemented by significant expansion in renewable energy infrastructure, with global wind power capacity projected to reach around 2,100 GW by 2030 (Source: Ember, August 2024, citing IEA, BNEF, and GWEC forecasts) and solar power capacity expected to exceed 7,000 GW by 2030 (Source: SolarPower Europe, May 2025).

    The massive scale of the BluWave-ai Atlas data platform complements the company’s innovative technologies by providing an unparalleled foundation for training and deploying highly accurate AI models. This powerful combination of cutting-edge AI and a robust data infrastructure ensures the solutions from BluWave-ai are not only groundbreaking, but also highly effective and scalable, enabling superior performance and faster deployment, delivering significant value to clients from day one worldwide.

    “Our continued growth in both patent protection and data scale reflects our unwavering commitment to empowering the global energy transition,” said Devashish Paul, CEO of BluWave-ai. “By securing our innovations and building an immense, AI-ready data foundation, we are accelerating the development and deployment of solutions that make renewable energy more reliable and electric transportation more efficient. This positions us as the foundational tech provider to the electricity and electrified transport industry for managing energy in real time.”

    “BluWave-ai’s innovative technologies are empowering the global evolution of traditional electrical grids toward more sustainable, efficient, and resilient software-defined smart grids in the face of growing energy demands and climate changes,” said Thomas Triplet, VP of Technology at BluWave-ai, “Our portfolio covers foundational inventions of AI driven systems management for our utility and transport customers.”

    Adding to this sentiment, Mike McLean, CEO of Innovation Asset Collective, stated, “At IAC, we know that when innovators own their ideas, they unlock real growth. This equips Canadian businesses with the funding, tools, and knowledge to prioritize IP ownership, and compete on the global stage.”

    “BLG is proud to work with this exciting, dynamic Canadian success story, assisting BluWave-ai to build a robust and diverse IP portfolio, to mine and protect their multiple innovations, to increase their shareholder value, and to open up new opportunities nationally and overseas,” said Jeff Coghlan, lawyer and partner at the Canadian law firm BLG, “BluWave’s strong and growing patent portfolio is a validation of its cutting-edge technology. We look forward to expanding our collaboration with BluWave-ai, as the company ushers in a new era of energy transition and transportation electrification.”

    The patent portfolio is embedded in the advanced AI-powered software platform of BluWave-ai which is designed to address key real time challenges in the electricity sector, supporting its product initiatives in:

    • Smart Grid Optimization: This AI platform revolutionizes energy grid management, allowing utilities, independent power producers, and system operators to optimize renewable energy assets, predict energy demand, and make data-driven decisions in real-time. This leads to reduced operational costs, lower carbon footprints, and enhanced grid stability.

    • EV Everywhere: Empowers EV drivers with intelligent control over their charging, optimizing energy consumption for cost savings and reduced carbon emissions. It intelligently shifts charging to align with lower electricity rates and cleaner energy sources, while also supporting grid stability through demand response capabilities.

    • EV Fleet Orchestrator: Designed for electrifying fleet operations, this product intelligently manages EV fleet charging and dispatch. By integrating factors like energy price, peak demand constraints, and local generation from solar and battery energy storage and vehicle schedules, it optimizes energy use across mixed fleets, significantly reducing operating costs and emissions.

    • Energy Storage Autopilot: This AI-driven platform provides automated, real-time optimization for battery energy storage systems (BESS). It is grid-aware, enabling BESS to participate effectively in energy markets, manage peak demands, and seamlessly integrate fluctuating renewable energy sources, maximizing the value and lifespan of energy storage assets.

    With a growing global footprint globally deployed in Japan, the Middle East, India, Europe, and throughout North America, BluWave-ai is poised to continue its leadership in building the intelligent software foundation essential for a sustainable, electrified future.

    Customers can access the company’s extensive patent portfolio and the BluWave-ai Atlas data platform through product purchases, or directly via an IP usage license for specific applications.

    Additionally, customers may acquire direct licenses to use the BluWave-ai Atlas data platform via a SaaS subscription model.

  • Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. Announces Reverse Stock Split

    Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. Announces Reverse Stock Split

    HOUSTON, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / August 6, 2025 / Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. (NASDAQ:EVTV) (the “Company” or “Envirotech”), a leading provider of electric commercial vehicles, today announced that it has resolved to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock and has determined the ratio to be 1-for-10. The Company’s stockholders approved the reverse stock split and granted the Company board of directors the authority to determine the exact split ratio and when to proceed with the reverse stock split at the Company’s Special Meeting of Stockholders held on May 1, 2025.

    The reverse stock split will become effective on August 6, 2025 at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, and the Company’s common stock is expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) as of the open of trading on August 8, 2025 under the existing ticker symbol “EVTV”. The new CUSIP number for the Company’s common stock will be 29414V 308.

    When the reverse stock split becomes effective, every ten (10) shares of Envirotech’s issued and outstanding common stock will be automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock without any change in the par value per share or the total number of authorized shares. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of outstanding shares of Envirotech’s common stock from approximately 35.3 million shares to approximately 3.5 million shares.

    No fractional shares would be issued if, as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, a registered stockholder would otherwise become entitled to a fractional share. Instead, stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of shares not evenly divisible by the final ratio will automatically be entitled to receive an additional share of Common Stock. In other words, any fractional share will be rounded up to the nearest whole number. Envirotech’s transfer agent, Issuer Direct Corporation, will serve as the exchange agent for the reverse stock split. Registered stockholders holding pre-split shares of the Company’s common stock electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares. Those stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or in “street name” will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, subject to each broker’s particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split.

    Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or vesting of Envirotech’s outstanding stock options and warrants, as well as the applicable exercise prices, and to the number of shares issuable under the Company’s equity incentive plan and other existing agreements.

    Additional information about the reverse stock split can be found in Envirotech’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2025, a copy of which is available at www.sec.gov.

  • Health Economic Study Shows That enVVeno Medical’s VenoValve(R) Would be a Cost-Effective Treatment Option for Patients with Severe Chronic Venous Insufficiency

    Health Economic Study Shows That enVVeno Medical’s VenoValve(R) Would be a Cost-Effective Treatment Option for Patients with Severe Chronic Venous Insufficiency

    Clinical data and cost-effectiveness analysis demonstrates the VenoValve would provide both better health outcomes and lower costs compared to current standard of care treatments

    The VenoValve could potentially save $5.9 billion annually in healthcare costs for the approximately 2.5 million U.S. patients with severe CVI

    Company to host live webcast with lead author of the cost-analysis manuscript, today, August 6th, at 12:00 PM ET; Access the Webcast Here

    IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / August 6, 2025 / enVVeno Medical Corporation (Nasdaq:NVNO) (“enVVeno” or the “Company”), a company setting new standards of care for the treatment of deep venous disease, today announcedpreliminary findings from a VenoValve health economic study, which indicate that the VenoValve would be a cost-effective treatment option for patients with severe Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) caused by deep valvular incompetency. The Company announced it will host a live webcast to discuss the cost-effectiveness analysis results today, Wednesday, August 6th at 12:00 PM ET (details below).

    Key Findings from the Study Include:

    • VenoValve was dominant relative to standard of care (i.e., lower costs, higher quality-adjusted life years):

      • Cost savings: $32,442 per patient over 5 years

      • Clinical benefit: 2.2 ulcers avoided per patient

      • Quality of life: 0.33 additional QALYs gained per patient

    • Additional economic value associated with use of the VenoValve:

      • $14,912 saved per each venous ulcer avoided

      • $4,101 cost per each rVCSS point improvement

      • Break-even achieved between years 2-3

    Results remained consistent across multiple sensitivity analyses and scenarios (different age populations, various assumptions), confirming the model’s reliability.

    Mark H. Meissner M.D., surgeon at the Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Clinic at University of Washington (UW) Medical Center, a UW professor of Surgery, and the lead author of the manuscript added, “There remains a significant need for better treatment options for patients with severe, deep venous CVI, an advanced disease that affects millions of Americans annually and accounts for 1-2% of total healthcare expenditures, roughly ~$90 billion. These comprehensive economic analysis results, coupled with the robust clinical data demonstrated in the VenoValve U.S. pivotal trial, well positions the VenoValve to address the significant treatment gap while providing substantial economic value to the healthcare system.”

    “There are several factors that need to align in order to promote wide adoption of a first-in-class medical device. Two of the more important factors are good clinical results, and a willingness to pay for the device and the procedure. This health economic study provides evidence that the VenoValve would be extremely cost-effective, resulting in substantial health cost savings over time. This cost-effectiveness data, together with the strong clinical evidence from the pivotal trial, make a compelling package for commercial payors such as private health insurance providers and employers, that often make coverage decisions based upon both clinical and cost-effectiveness data”, added Robert Berman, enVVeno Medical’s Chief Executive Officer.

    While private payors generally make coverage decisions based upon clinical evidence and cost effectiveness, Medicare makes coverage decisions based upon clinical effectiveness to support reasonable and necessary criteria for the Medicare population.

    As part of the health economic study, a de novo cost-effectiveness model was developed to simulate clinical and economic outcomes for patients with deep venous CVI caused valvular incompetence. The model structure was based on health states defined by the revised Venous Clinical Severity Score (rVCSS), which were derived from a post-hoc analysis of the one-year results from the VenoValve U.S. pivotal trial. Key input values for transition probabilities, clinical events, costs of care, and utilities were sourced from the pivotal trial and publicly available sources. Six-month cycles were assumed for the first year, to match the VenoValve pivotal trial, followed by annual cycles; outcomes were compared over a 5-year time horizon.A manuscript describing the full methodology and findings has been submitted for peer review and publication.

    The VenoValve is a potential first-in-class, surgical replacement venous valve for patients with severe deep venous CVI. The Company estimates that approximately 2.5 million people in the United States could be candidates for the VenoValve, including approximately 1.5 million diagnosed with venous ulcers. The Company has submitted a pre-market authorization (PMA) application for the VenoValve to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), with a decision anticipated in the second half of 2025.

    Webcast Details

    The Company will host a webcast presentation to discuss the results for investors, analysts and other interested parties today, August 6, 2025, at 12:00 PM ET. Joining enVVeno management for the event will be Dr. Meissner. The live webcast will be accessible on the Events page of the enVVeno website, envveno.com, and will be archived for 90 days.

    About CVI

    Severe deep venous CVI is a serious and debilitating disease that is most often caused by blood clots (deep vein thromboses or DVTs) in the deep veins of the leg. When valves inside of the veins of the leg fail, blood flows in the wrong direction and pools in the lower leg, causing pressure within the veins of the leg to increase (venous hypertension).

    Symptoms of CVI include leg swelling, pain, edema, and in the most severe cases, recurrent open sores known as venous ulcers. The disease can severely impact everyday functions such as sleeping, bathing, dressing, and walking, and is known to result in high rates of depression and anxiety. There are currently no effective treatments that repair deep venous valve dysfunction, the #1 cause of severe CVI-a disease estimated to cost the U.S. healthcare system in excess of $26 billion each year.

    About enVVeno Medical Corporation

    enVVeno Medical (NASDAQ:NVNO) is an Irvine, California-based, late clinical-stage medical device Company focused on the advancement of innovative bioprosthetic (tissue-based) solutions to improve the standard of care for the treatment of deep venous disease. The Company’s lead product, the VenoValve®, is a first-in-class surgical replacement venous valve being developed for the treatment of deep venous CVI. The Company is also developing a non-surgical, transcatheter based replacement venous valve for the treatment of deep venous CVIcalled enVVe®. Both the VenoValve and enVVe are designed to act as one-way valves, to help assist in propelling blood up the leg, and back to the heart and lungs. The VenoValve is currently being evaluated in the VenoValve U.S. pivotal study and the Company is currently performing the final testing necessary to seek approval for the pivotal trial for enVVe.

    “This book is not about checking boxes. It’s about making fairness part of how organizations lead, operate, succeed.” – Dr. Billy Vaughn
