Indiana company says new drone regulations will speed improvements to package delivery security for Americans

INDIANAPOLIS, IN / ACCESS Newswire / August 6, 2025 / Arrive AI (NASDAQ:ARAI), an autonomous delivery network anchored by patented AI-powered Arrive Points™, celebrated the Trump administration’s proposed new rule regarding drones flying Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS), that it said would unleash American innovation and safely integrate unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) into the national airspace system.

The proposed rule would eliminate individual flight waivers and introduce key safety roles like Operations Supervisor and Flight Coordinator, helping commercial drone flights take off nationwide. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy said the move would “unleash American drone dominance.”

The announcement, made late yesterday, comes as Arrive AI is poised to roll out its solution for longstanding issues of security within the package delivery industry, a $191 billion market in the U.S. alone. Arrive AI’s patented Arrive Points anchor the company’s connected delivery network and proprietary technology, which enables secure, verifiable, and contactless delivery for drone, ground robot, or traditional human driver. The platform provides a secure chain-of-custody, ensuring every delivery is tracked and authenticated from the moment it enters an Arrive Point until it is retrieved.

“This is a watershed moment,” said Dan O’Toole, founder and CEO of Arrive AI. “The proposed BVLOS rule brings us significantly closer to a future where drones, robots and AI-powered, smart delivery points work together to move goods securely, efficiently, and autonomously, particularly in healthcare, public safety, and rural last-mile logistics.”

Arrive AI officials have long sought to loosen federal restrictions in the industry. “Other countries are ahead of us in using drones for delivery, and in the few cases in the U.S. where it’s been allowed, consumers love it,” O’Toole said.

Arrive AI is already working with Skye Air Mobility, India’s dominant and rapidly expanding hyperlocal drone delivery platform. Skye Air currently makes about 6,000 deliveries per day in suburban New Delhi. The companies expect to have 500 Arrive Points across Skye Air’s service areas in the future, serving a population exceeding 33 million.

FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford said normalizing drone flights “is key to realizing drones’ societal and economic benefits” for package delivery” and other uses.

O’Toole said he is eager to see the rule approved and for Americans to have the same fast, convenient, more sustainable form of delivery.

“This is the way of the future,” he said. “Arrive AI will make that last inch of the delivery process so much better for the delivery industry as well as users, who’ll be able to receive and return items with the touch of a button. They’re ready for this, and so are we.”

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.

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.

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.
