ARLINGTON, Va., Dec. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Venture capital firm Energy Innovation Capital (EIC), global digital and AI transformation consulting firm A&MPLIFY by Alvarez and Marsal, world class engineering and research university Virginia Tech, leading cloud and AI platform Amazon Web Services (AWS), and DC region real estate owner and developer JBG SMITH today announced the launch of the Virtus Innovation Center (Virtus) in National Landing ( www.virtusinnovation.com ). While Washington, DC is the epicenter for energy policy and national security, there is untapped potential in the market and a lack of innovation programs that effectively bridge capital formation, incubation, and acceleration for early-stage companies. Once funding is secured, Virtus’ differentiated platform aims to leverage the collective expertise of its partners to provide startup companies the physical resources, capital, and strategic support they need to develop innovative national security and energy technologies. The plan for Virtus’ integrated approach includes: The Virtus Innovation Center will be an independent organization managed by a board of directors comprising sponsors and partners. It is being developed by principals from EIC and A&MPLIFY by Alavarez and Marsal. It is supported by JBG SMITH, AWS, and Virginia Tech. EIC invests across industrial and energy technologies and managing a portfolio with $350 million AUM. A&MPLIFY by Alvarez and Marsal brings its digital, AI, innovation, federal, and energy expertise. Virginia Tech provides distinguished research capabilities and human capital with critical skills, and JBG SMITH will provide the physical space for the incubator alongside high quality amenities, both physical and digital, it is delivering across the National Landing neighborhood. “Over the last 20 years the team at EIC has invested in 150 industrial technology companies enabling electrification, decarbonization, AI, autonomy, and critical technology onshoring. The convergence of these sectors has created significant national security and energy resiliency innovation opportunities,” said Andrew Lackner, Managing Partner of EIC Virtus. “The Virtus Innovation Center will enable startups to leverage DC’s defense and energy ecosystem to accelerate the commercialization of dual-use technologies. We look forward to collaborating with startups, corporations, federal agencies, and other investors to accelerate technologies critical to the national interest of the US.” “We’ve seen the success that is possible when startups and corporations work together to find better technological solutions, and Virtus Innovation Incubator is an exciting opportunity to accomplish that in an established and global industry,” said Bob Ghafouri, Co-Founder and Managing Director at A&MPLIFY by Alvarez & Marsal. “Large, forward-thinking companies are engaging successfully with startups, looking at startups as discovery arms and co-collaborators for innovation.” “With the increasing importance of supporting the growth and energy demand of Artificial Intelligence, the intersection of energy and defense has become a national security priority,” said Matt Kelly, JBG SMITH CEO. “As the incubator partner of the Virtus Innovation Center, we are well-positioned with our physical space near the Pentagon and AI infrastructure to collaborate and scale innovation across the startup community to create new solutions for defense and energy.” Virtus aims to meet the heightened demand for technological advancement in energy and security, driven by various factors including: increased geopolitical activity and the evolving complexity of physical and digital threats; the multi-decade shift to lower-carbon energy; and the exponential growth of data, large language models, data centers, and widespread digitalization across sectors that has transformed how work is done. Virtus will also directly benefit from its strategic location in National Landing, which offers a high concentration of defense-tech and adjacent industries, all of which are clustered together with immediate proximity to the Pentagon, Amazon HQ2, Virginia Tech’s $1B Innovation Campus and dozens of relevant private enterprises and government agencies, including seven of the ten largest recipients of federal defense spending. “Virginia Tech could not be more excited to collaborate with Virtus and partners to ensure cutting-edge technologies with dual-use applications including artificial intelligence, integrated communications and networking, and quantum information and sensing reach the marketplace to support the pressing needs of the nation,” said Eric Paterson, Virginia Tech National Security Institute Executive Director. “With proximity to the nation’s Capital, the institute and Innovation Campus bring vast expertise, unique research facilities, and mission-oriented initiatives, which position us to assist partners in the curation of new startups that seek to solve emerging national security challenges.” Learn more about the Virtus Innovation Center: www.virtusinnovation.com About A&MPLIFY by Alvarez & Marsal A&MPLIFY is the artificial intelligence and digital transformation unit of Alvarez & Marsal.

Calling for cooperation from stakeholders in the state’s security ecosystem towards its fulfilment. “I urge concerned government agencies, citizens, and partners to continue working together to transform this vision into reality. Together, we can ensure that Lagos remains a beacon of safety, progress, and innovation,” the Governor said at the 18th Annual Town Hall Meeting on Security handing over 260 security vehicles, 1000 ballistic helmets, 1000 bulletproof vests 1000 ballistic helmets and other security gadgets to the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF) at the Lagos House, Ikeja on Thursday. The event had security chiefs in attendance, including the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, captains of industries, and other stakeholders in the state’s security ecosystem. Speaking further, Sanwo-Olu emphasised that his government remains committed to offering support to security agencies in the state to ensure the safety and security of citizens, their properties and businesses. At the event themed: “Data and Technology-Driven Security: The Way Forward”, the Governor said: “As we confront the complexities of securing lives, properties, and investments in our dynamic state, it is clear that traditional methods alone cannot address the evolving nature of these issues and that the challenges of modern urban security require cutting-edge solutions.” He reiterated his administration’s “Steadfast commitment to harnessing the transformative power of data and technology to revolutionize how we protect our communities.” The Governor also restated commitment to collaboration with the private sector to enhance and improve the security architecture as well as provide logistics to ensure the safety of all. He noted that the LSSTF, since its inception 17 years ago, has judiciously kept faith with security agencies by bringing initiatives, training, ensuring infrastructural development and deploying technologies to enhance security. While appreciating the management of the Fund, under the leadership of the Executive Secretary and CEO, Abdulrazaq Balogun and his team for their efforts, Sanwo-Olu lauded donors, both individual and corporate. In particular, Zenith Bank and billionaires Femi Otedola and Tony Elumelu donated N1 billion and N500 million, respectively. He urged citizens, both corporate and individual, to play an active role in creating a safer Lagos. “You can contribute by reporting suspicious activities through our emergency hotlines, participating in community safety programs, and staying informed about safety guidelines so that we can build a safer, more secure, and prosperous future for Lagos.” He said. He also said: “Through strategic partnerships, substantial investments, and the collective determination of our government and the people of Lagos, we have achieved notable milestones in enhancing our security framework. “We have deployed 450 Intelligent Video Surveillance Cameras across critical areas in Lagos, all linked to the Lagos State Command and Control Center. These cameras use intelligent video analytics to detect unusual activities, enabling real-time alerts to security agencies for faster and more precise responses. He also said that the Government had launched a digital identification system incorporating biometric technology and digital ID verification. This initiative enhances security in high-risk zones, including schools, markets, government facilities, and transportation hubs, to reduce fraud and impersonation incidents. “We recognize that not all citizens have equal access to digital technology, so to bridge this digital divide, we will establish accessible registration centres across the state, offering assistance with enrollment and providing alternative identification methods for those who lack access to smartphones or other devices. “We are committed to ensuring that everyone benefits from this improved security infrastructure. “Recognizing the rapid evolution of security technology, we are deepening partnerships with tech companies to incorporate cutting-edge innovations into Lagos’ security ecosystem. Cybersecurity Operations Center: To safeguard citizens’ data and prevent breaches in our interconnected systems, we inaugurated a cybersecurity advisory board to strengthen digital security, drive technological advancement and enhance digital security. “The success of these initiatives depends on sustained support, investments, and collaborative efforts. I extend profound gratitude to the donors of the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF), whose contributions have significantly bolstered our security capabilities. Notably, I sincerely acknowledge the outstanding generosity of Zenith Bank Plc and Mr Femi Otedola for their remarkable donations of one billion Naira each, as well as Mr Tony Elumelu for his substantial contribution of Five Hundred Million Naira to the LSSTF this year. In his remarks, IG Kayode Egbetokun lauded the Lagos state government for being proactive in its efforts to safeguard the lives of Lagosians and creating an enabling environment for businesses to thrive. He showered praises on the Sanwo-Olu administration for the conducive environment created for security operatives in the state through the investment in equipment and gadgets.

At least 460 fighters from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces were killed in an ambush by the Sudanese army and allied joint forces in the state of North Darfur in western Sudan, according to a military communique. or signup to continue reading In the statement issued on Sunday, Joint Forces military spokesman Ahmed Mustafa said the army and its allied militias ambushed three RSF convoys north of the town of Malit on Saturday afternoon. "The fighting resulted in the death of more than 460 members of the (RSF) militia, including prominent commanders... notably Taha Mudalal, the nephew of militia leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (alias Hemedti)," Mustafa said in the statement. He also claimed that the army and joint forces destroyed more than a hundred RSF military vehicles and seized 60 others that were "in excellent condition." "We report that three convoys of the (RSF) militia have been completely wiped out, causing them heavy human and material losses, while security control in the liberated areas has been strengthened and secured," the statement added. Malit is about 60km north of Al Fasher, the capital of North Darfur and the only army stronghold in western Sudan. The FAR controls four of the five states that make up the Darfur region and has intensified its attacks on North Darfur, which is home to the army's main headquarters and several displacement camps that house tens of thousands of people. The war in Sudan began on April 15, 2023, and has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and made the country the site of the world's worst displacement crisis, with more than 14 million people forced to flee their homes, including more than three million who have fled to neighbouring countries. The Sudanese Armed Forces - under Abdel Fattah al-Burhan - and General Hemedti's RSF were part of the military government that seized power in 2021 and began a political process to return the country to a democratic path that included integrating the RSF into the regular army when tensions flared and all-out war broke out between the two. Several human rights organisations and countries such as the United States have accused both the army and the FAR of committing crimes against humanity and even ethnic cleansing during the war, which both sides have denied. The atrocities are reminiscent of the Darfur genocide when an estimated 200,000 people were killed between 2003 and 2005 Advertisement Sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Even when Penn State quarterback gets some praise, it's usually a backhanded compliment. They say he's a good game manager and stays within himself, or that he doesn't try to do too much. They mention he might not be flashy, but he gives the team a chance to win. And here's the thing about Penn State since Allar stepped under center: The Nittany Lions have won games. A lot of them. Sometimes that's hard to remember considering the lukewarm reception he often gets from fans. “I get it — we have a really passionate fan base and they're a huge part of our success,” Allar said Sunday at media day. “For us, we always want to go out there every drive and end with a touchdown, so when we don't do that, there's nobody more frustrated than us.” The polarizing Allar is having a solid season by just about any standard, completing more than 68% of his passes for 3,021 yards, 21 touchdowns and seven interceptions while leading the sixth-seeded Nittany Lions to a 12-2 record and a spot in the Fiesta Bowl for Tuesday's game against No. 3 seed Boise State. But in a college football world filled with high-scoring, explosive offenses, Allar's no-frills performances often are the object of ire. , led by the talented combo of Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen. “If we had a nickel for every time there was a Monday morning quarterback saying some BS stuff, we'd all be pretty rich,” offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki said. “I think part of being a quarterback, especially at Penn State but really anywhere, is how you respond to and manage criticism.” The 20-year-old Allar has made strides in that department after a trying 2023 season that finished with a 10-3 record. He says that's largely because once fall camp started back in August, he logged off the social media platform X. Allar said negative online experiences wore on him last year, and his phone number was leaked a few times, which added to the stress. He finally realized that controlling outside narratives was impossible, so the best course of action was to eliminate a needless distraction. “I’ve been more mentally free, as much as that sounds crazy,” Allar said. “I think that’s been a huge difference for me this year.” The biggest criticism of Allar — and really Penn State as a whole during the 11-year James Franklin era — is that he isn't capable of winning the big games. He's 0-2 against rival Ohio State and threw a late interception against Oregon in the Big Ten title game earlier this month, . He wasn't great in the CFP's first round, either, completing just 13 of 22 passes for 127 yards as Penn State to advance to the Fiesta Bowl. But the quarterback is confident a better performance — aided by a game that will be played in comfortable temperatures in a domed stadium — is coming. “For me, I just have to execute those (easy) throws early in the game and get our guys into rhythm,” Allar said. “Get them involved early as much as I can and that allows us to stay on the field longer, call more plays and open up our offense more. That will help us a ton, building the momentum throughout the game.” Allar might be a favorite punching bag for a section of the Penn State fan base, but that's not the case in his own locker room. Star tight end Tyler Warren praised his quarterback's ability to avoid sacks, saying that the 6-foot-5, 238-pounder brings a toughness that resonates with teammates. “He’s a football player,” Warren said. “He plays quarterback, but when you watch him play and the energy he brings and the way he runs the ball, he’s just a football player and that fires up our offense.” Now Allar and Penn State have a chance to silence critics who say that the Nittany Lions don't show up in big games. Not that he's worried about what other people think. “I think it's a skill at the end of the day — blocking out the outside noise," Allar said. "Focusing on you and the process and being honest with yourself, both good and bad.” ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up .
