FDA cleared and U.S. manufactured implant system positions SINTX to enter billion-dollar U.S. market SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Oct. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SINTX Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SINT) (“SINTX” or the “Company”), a leader in advanced ceramics specializing in biomedical applications of silicon nitride (Si₃N₄), today announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for the SINAPTIC® Foot & Ankle Osteotomy Wedge System, enabling SINTX’s commercial entry into reconstructive foot and ankle surgery in the United States. SINTX plans a U.S. commercial launch in Q1 2026, leveraging its U.S.-based manufacturing to drive revenue acceleration and operating efficiency. The SINAPTIC implant system combines SINTX’s proprietary silicon nitride biomaterial with surgeon-informed implant designs and a planned sterile, single-use instrument kit engineered to enhance surgical efficiency, precision and reproducibility. By combining differentiated material science with practical surgical innovation, the SINAPTIC implant system exemplifies SINTX’s strategy to leverage its unique biomaterials platform into scalable, high-value medical solutions that address unmet clinical needs and drive long-term growth. “Orthopedics is evolving beyond traditional materials,” said Lisa Marie Del Re, Chief Commercial Officer. “With growing demand for non-metal solutions, the SINAPTIC system delivers the proven performance of silicon nitride to foot and ankle reconstruction—elevating expectations for surgical outcomes.” As cleared under the FDA submission, some of the material claims of SINTX’s silicon nitride relevant to the device include: Pro-osteogenic: Unique surface chemistry mechanisms have demonstrated superior protein absorption and osteointegration when compared to traditional biomaterials. Bacteriostatic: Surface properties have been shown to actively repel and/or inhibit the growth of various types of bacteria in a laboratory and animal studies. Hydrophilic: Attracts fluids, further deterring bacteria colonization and enhancing bone-building mechanisms. Enhanced visibility on imaging: Unlike metal implants, silicon nitride allows for clear visualization of the surrounding tissues in X-rays and CT scans. “FDA clearance of

Golpo AI secures oversubscribed seed round to transform communication through interactive AI videos SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Golpo, the AI-powered platform that transforms documents and prompts into interactive explainer videos, announced today it has raised $4.1 million in a heavily oversubscribed seed round led by BNVT Capital (spin out from the Gates Foundation and Hedosophia), alongside Emergence Capital, Y Combinator, Afore Capital and others. The raise attracted overwhelming investor demand, forcing the founders to turn away significant additional capital. Golpo was founded by brothers Shraman Kar (19) and Shreyas Kar (20) who dropped out of their computer science degrees at Stanford to realise their vision of making AI video communication practical, scalable, and accessible to everyone. “One year ago, I was sitting in my final high school class, thrilled to be heading to Stanford,” said Shraman Kar, co-founder of Golpo. “If you told me then that I’d drop out a year later to build a company with my brother, I’d have laughed. But some problems are too important to ignore.” The brothers saw a fundamental gap in the AI video landscape. Current generation models like Sora and VEO 3 excel at short, cinematic, and flashy videos (“a dog dancing on the moon”), but fail at practical communication tasks like explaining a 10-step onboarding workflow or teaching multivariable calculus. Their reliance on scaling compute-heavy approaches is both unsustainable and misaligned with real-world use cases. Golpo AI takes a different path. It is purpose-built for explainer videos: Up to 30 minutes of coherent, interactive video (vs. <10 seconds in other models) World’s first customisable AI video platform with frame-by-frame editing, turning one-shot AI generations into controllable, reliable workflows. For the first time, AI videos can actually be reliable 45x cheaper than existing AI video models like VEO Technically

With the Saudi Future Investment Initiative (FII9) as the next stop HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 October 2025 – The Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP), in collaboration with the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), recently led 22 Hong Kong technology companies to two premier innovation events, GITEX Global and Expand North Star, on Oct 12-17 in Dubai.

​HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 October 2025 – Paul Chan, Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), visited the United States last week (October 14-17) to attend Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank Group (WBG). Mr Chan also updated government officials from various countries, as well as key financial and economic figures in New York and Washington, DC, on the latest developments and business environment in Hong Kong. On Friday (October 17), Mr Chan attended the plenary session of the Annual Meetings of IMF and WBG. He also joined an in-conversation session organised by the Institute of International Finance, where he shared insights on the current state of Hong Kong’s economy, its strategy of development as a financial centre, opportunities in innovation and technology—particularly artificial intelligence—the development of digital assets, and the building of a patient capital ecosystem. HKSAR’s Financial Secretary Paul Chan (right) joins an in-conversation session organised by the Institute of International Finance Mr Chan highlighted Hong Kong’s unique advantages under the “one country, two systems” arrangement, including free flow of capital, a freely convertible currency pegged to the US dollar, a highly internationalised market, and close alignment with international best practices. Despite rising global economic uncertainties in recent months, Hong Kong has continued to see capital inflows, reflecting international investors’ confidence in the city’s investment environment and opportunities, Mr Chan said. Delivering a keynote speech at a business luncheon co-hosted by the US-China Business Council and the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Washington (Washington ETO), he stressed that the “one country, two systems” arrangement is a significant advantage for Hong Kong and that the Chinese government has made it clear that this good system will be upheld in the long run.
