AINewsWire Editorial Coverage : The money that has been flowing into AI robotics for the past two years is now producing results that show up in hard numbers rather than slide decks. Industrial robot installations totaled 542,000 units globally in 2024, more than twice the level recorded a decade ago, and the International Federation of Robotics (“IFR”) notes that the market value of those systems reached a record $16.7 billion. As the capital behind this sector matures, the market is starting to draw a sharper line between companies that are still proving out their technology and those that are earning revenue from real deployments. Nightfood Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: NGTF) ( Profile ), operating as TechForce Robotics, is working to plant itself firmly in the second group. The company recently announced that TechForce has executed a letter of intent with Singapore-headquartered NBR Intelligence Pte.

VERAXA Biotech (NASDAQ: VRXA) was featured in a recent article highlighting how its collaboration with AI-focused research organization Ardigen could strengthen the company’s oncology pipeline as artificial intelligence plays an increasingly important role in drug discovery. By combining Ardigen’s expertise in AI, computational biology and bioinformatics with VERAXA’s proprietary BiTAC(R) platform, the companies aim to use AI to identify optimal dual-target combinations for T-cell engagers and antibody-drug conjugates while improving target validation and reducing development risks. VERAXA’s “AND-gated” approach, which activates therapies only when two cancer-associated targets are present on the same cell, may be particularly well suited to AI-driven analysis of complex genomic, proteomic and clinical datasets. The technology could also enable researchers to revisit historical clinical and preclinical data and potentially identify safer applications for targets or therapies previously abandoned because of toxicity concerns.

Greenland Mines (NASDAQ: GRML) was featured in an American News Group commentary examining the need for Western-aligned critical minerals supply chains spanning mining, processing, logistics and downstream markets.

In November 2025, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (“NICE”) recommended HealthOST and a previous version, HealthVCF, among five AI technologies for National Health Service (“NHS”) use as options to aid opportunistic detection of vertebral fragility fractures.

Every energy technology that eventually becomes “bankable” has to survive an awkward middle stage first, the point where the tech has been proven in a lab or pilot but hasn’t yet run at commercial scale long enough for lenders to trust it. These first-of-a-kind (“FOAK”) projects are demonstration- and deployment-stage projects being brought to final investment decision for the first time, without the operating history conventional lenders rely on. These projects can’t be financed like conventional infrastructure. There’s no historical performance data, technology risk is higher and it’s harder for lenders to feel comfortable. The fix isn’t a single loan or investor, but a layered capital stack, with each layer priced for a different piece of the risk. Helping sponsors assemble and negotiate that stack is where firms such as Market Street Capital come in, working across debt, equity and structuring as sponsors pursue a financing that lenders will support.

Nightfood Holdings (OTCQB: NGTF), doing business as TechForce Robotics, is positioning its AI-enabled robotics business around real-world deployment as the global robotics industry shifts from prototypes toward commercially viable systems. The company recently signed a letter of intent with Singapore-based NBR Intelligence Pte.
