Frontier IP Group CEO on H1 highlights, €25m 2D Photonics funding round

Frontier IP Group PLC (AIM:FIPP) CEO Neil Crabb talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s half-year results and how its portfolio has continued to attract investment and commercial traction despite difficult market conditions. Crabb highlighted a €25 million funding round for 2D Photonics (formerly CamGraphIC), backed by major names including Sony, Bosch, NATO’s Innovation Fund, and Italy’s CDP. The company is developing graphene-based technology to enhance silicon performance in data centres and potentially defence applications. He noted broader progress across the portfolio, including funding raised by DeakinBio for its novel materials, and commercial wins for Alusid, such as new floor tile launches with Topps Tiles. GraphEnergyTech has partnered with institutions in Taiwan on graphene electrode technology, a move Crabb described as “a really broad spectrum of interest.” Crabb also emphasised the importance of cost-efficiency alongside innovation, noting, “It's a cost that's at the heart of this.” Frontier IP looks for technologies that can deliver real-world economic benefits, from solar panel efficiency to energy-saving USB-C power tech by Pulsiv. He also pointed to companies like Cambridge Raman Imaging and Nandi Proteins as part of a portfolio seeing strong investor interest, with corporate VCs, public sector groups and angel networks all engaging.

Candel Therapeutics shares positive survival data for investigational immunotherapy in NSCLC

Candel Therapeutics CEO Dr. Paul Peter Tak joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce final survival data from a Phase 2a clinical trial evaluating the company’s investigational immunotherapy in patients with stage III/IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who had an inadequate response to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment. The study reported a median overall survival (mOS) of 24.5 months in 46 evaluable patients who received two courses of the investigational therapy. In a subset of patients who had progressive disease at baseline despite ICI treatment, mOS was 21.5 months. Historically, similar patients receiving standard-of-care chemotherapy have had mOS between 9.8 and 11.8 months, with published studies rarely exceeding 12 months. With a median follow-up of 32.4 months, the data demonstrated long-term survival benefits, with 37% of patients who had progressive disease despite ICI therapy still alive two years after treatment. Based on these positive results, Candel Therapeutics will continue advancing the development program, including preparations for a potential registrational trial in patients with non-squamous histology NSCLC. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has previously granted Fast Track Designation for the investigational therapy in combination with an antiviral agent and ICI therapy for patients with stage III/IV NSCLC who are resistant to first-line PD-(L)1 inhibitors and do not have activating molecular driver mutations or have progressed on targeted therapy. These findings support the therapy’s potential as a new treatment option for NSCLC patients with limited alternatives. #proactiveinvestors #candeltherapeuticsinc #nasdaq #cadl #CancerTreatment #ViralTherapy #ProstateCancer #PancreaticCancer #Glioblastoma #PaulPeterTak #ClinicalTrials #BiotechNews #Immunotherapy #Oncology #CancerResearch

Itaconix CEO on 2025 strategy and profitability goals

Itaconix PLC (AIM:ITX, OTCQB:ITXXF) CEO John Shaw joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company’s progress following its strategic restructuring and to discuss what lies ahead for 2025. Shaw highlighted that the company ended 2024 with strong momentum, achieving nearly $3.7 million in revenue in the second half, marking one of its highest-ever earnings periods. The restructuring initiative focused on enhancing profitability, with a significant emphasis on reshaping the customer base. Shaw noted, “We actually increased our gross profit margin from about 31% to almost 35% last year.” Despite experiencing lower revenue in some areas, the company was able to maintain steady gross profits due to its emphasis on margin improvement. Shaw also discussed significant product developments, including the launch of Itaconix TSI 422, a new detergent ingredient that is gaining traction in North America and Europe. He further explained how the SPARX program, introduced in October, is helping accelerate customer collaboration in key product categories, positioning the company for continued growth. In addition to product development, the company has made strategic investments in its operations, marketing, and regulatory capabilities to support its growth trajectory. Shaw expressed confidence in the company’s production team and infrastructure, stating, “We really have everything in place we need right now to have a great run over the next 24 months.” While tariffs remain a consideration, Shaw believes any impacts will be manageable, and in some cases, could even be beneficial to the company. #proactiveinvestors #itaconixplc #aim #itx #otcqb #itxxf #SustainableChemicals #CleanTech #TSI422 #SPARXProgram #SpecialtyChemicals #JohnShaw #InvestorUpdates #ProactiveInvestors #GreenChemistry #DetergentInnovation #GrossProfitMargins #RestructuringSuccess

Abacus Global Management CEO on 2024 highlights and 2025 targets

Abacus Global Management (NASDAQ:ABL) CEO Jay Jackson takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company’s strong financial performance in 2024 and its strategic outlook for 2025. The pioneering alternative asset manager reported 69% year-over-year revenue growth for 2024, with the fourth quarter alone seeing a 40% increase. Jackson noted that 2023 was already a record year, and 2024 surpassed that benchmark by over 50%. The company has issued guidance for 2025 that anticipates adjusted net income to rise by between 51% and 68%, driven by continued demand for non-correlated assets. Founded over 20 years ago, Abacus recently rebranded from Abacus Life to better reflect its identity as an alternative asset manager. Jackson explained, “We're an asset manager... and we also own a large institutional asset manager in Luxembourg,” underlining the firm’s expanding global footprint. Growth drivers include strategic acquisitions, expansion of its financial advisor channel, and development in its technology division. Jackson emphasized the role of AI in analyzing health and lifespan data to support financial planning, stating, “Think about the billion scenarios in someone's lifespan… AI helps us understand more accurate outcomes.” Jackson believes 2025 will bring increasing attention to the firm’s asset management operations, complementing its origination and technology capabilities.
