AI translation tech: Straker CEO talks IBM partnership

Straker Ltd CEO Grant Straker talked with Proactive at AIM"S Small and Midcap Conference about how the company is leveraging artificial intelligence to reshape the global language services industry. Straker explained how the business evolved from early content management systems into a leading AI-powered translation platform over the last 15 years. The company focuses on blending machine learning with human expertise to deliver high-quality, cost-effective language services. A key milestone has been the integration of its platform by IBM, which now uses Straker’s technology for all its internal translations. “They’ve gone from a multi-vendor traditional model to just us,” Straker said, highlighting how the move has streamlined IBM’s operations while reducing costs. He also discussed the company's proprietary "Terry" language model and its innovative quality estimation* system. This tool evaluates translated content for accuracy, determining whether it needs human review—improving efficiency and boosting gross margins. Straker outlined a clear investor case, emphasizing three pillars: financial strength, innovation, and global distribution. The company is targeting revenues of AUD 45 million for the year, with no debt, AUD 12 million in cash, and annual R&D investment of AUD 7 million. With operations in ten countries and strategic alignment with IBM’s AI stack, Straker positioned the company as well-placed to scale quickly through operating leverage in AI. #AI #StrakerLtd #GrantStraker #LanguageTech #TranslationAI #IBMPartnership #ArtificialIntelligence #InvestorUpdate #MachineTranslation #TechStocks #ASXStocks #TerryModel #QualityEstimation #ProactiveInvestors #SmallCapASX

Cordiant Digital Infrastructure Management chair on capital strategy & growth focus

Cordiant Digital Infrastructure Ltd (LSE:CORD) Chairman Steven Marshall talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s capital allocation strategy and growth outlook, particularly in the context of rising interest rates and macroeconomic pressures. Marshall highlighted how Cordiant Digital has strategically invested in cash-generative assets within two of Europe’s fastest-growing economies—Poland and the Czech Republic. “We can actually buy small bolt-on businesses, we can invest in organic growth, which actually is at a much lower cost than actually the buyback rates that we're getting,” Marshall said. The company has balanced yield and reinvestment, maintaining a dividend yield just under 5%, which is currently covered 1.8 times by free cash flow. Marshall explained the business has focused on acquiring quality mid-market assets with strong management teams and brand value. Looking ahead, Cordiant Digital aims to continue growing its portfolio through bolt-on acquisitions and organic investments, such as expanding distributed antenna broadband networks in Prague and Warsaw, and further developing data centre and mobile tower infrastructure in Poland. Marshall indicated the company is unlikely to pursue additional share buybacks in the short term, preferring to direct capital towards growth opportunities offering better long-term returns.

Genflow Biosciences CEO welcomes new investment; outlines dog longevity trial

Genflow Biosciences PLC CEO Dr Eric Leire talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about a pivotal new direction for the company as it initiates a clinical trial focused on improving aging in dogs. Leire described the trial as a natural evolution from Genflow's previous success in mice, noting the commercial appeal of the canine market. “There is nothing to improve really the quality of life of our aging dogs,” he said, adding that the study meets a significant unmet need. The trial will run for one year, with six months of treatment followed by six months of assessment. It's being managed by independent contract research organisation Syngene. Leire emphasised the scientific rigour of the trial, which is controlled, randomised and includes both aesthetic and biological endpoints. These include coat quality, mitochondrial function, and methylation clocks — all of which have potential crossover value for human applications. Leire also highlighted the company’s differentiated approach compared to US competitors using repurposed drugs like metformin. Genflow, he said, is pursuing gene therapy with the potential for greater impact. The investment supporting the trial, although limited in size, is seen as a strategic vote of confidence, bringing in credible investors from outside the UK, including the US. Leire described the initiative as a major step that could generate near-term revenue and redefine the company’s biotech positioning. For more company updates, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

MP Evans posts record 2024 results, eyes growth

MP Evans Group PLC (AIM:MPE) CEO Matthew Coulson takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company’s record results for 2024 and the strong start to 2025. MP Evans Group reported a robust financial performance in 2024, with Coulson confirming a record profit and a 66% increase in earnings per share. “It’s been a fantastic year for the group,” Coulson said, noting that high pricing supported the result, with prices averaging around $820 per tonne for the year. The company processed 1.6 million tonnes of crop in 2024, maintaining output despite weather-related challenges in Indonesia. Coulson highlighted this achievement in context: while Indonesia saw a slight national decline in crop yield, MP Evans sustained high volumes, reflecting operational resilience. Planting activity also continued across its operations, particularly in South Sumatra and East Kalimantan. The company expects to exceed 11,000 hectares planted at its Musi Rawas estate in early 2025, while its ABK site in East Kalimantan is set for more extensive development this year. Coulson also noted a milestone in sustainability, with over 250,000 tonnes of certified sustainable output processed across the company’s six mills in 2024. Looking ahead, he said 2025 had started positively, with pricing in the first two months averaging $870 per tonne, and the company is actively exploring acquisition opportunities.
