ANTWERPEN, BELGIUM, Oct 22, 2026 - OMP, a leader in AI-powered supply chain solutions, recently honored six global brands at its conferences held earlier this month in Singapore and Shanghai. The recognized companies - Procter & Gamble (P&G), Nestlé, Mars, AstraZeneca, ITC, and Bekaert - were celebrated for driving decision velocity, co-innovation, and impactful business results.
Supply Chain Innovation & Excellence Award: Nestlé and Bekaert
Nestlé, one of the world's largest food and beverage companies, and Bekaert, a global market and technology leader in material science of steel wire transformation and coating technologies, received OMP's Supply Chain Innovation & Excellence award for their breadth of deployment and depth of co-innovation.
Nestlé aligns its supply network at the strategic, tactical, and operational levels on OMP's Unison Planning™ platform, connecting forecasting, planning, and replenishment end-to-end. As more routine work becomes touchless, planners can focus on the decisions that drive the business, and Nestlé continues to roll out best practices throughout the organization.
Bekaert integrated scenario planning directly into its S&OP, shifting teams from reactive firefighting to proactive, value-driven conversations. In its green hydrogen business, what-if modeling protects mid- and long-term strategic control. Furthermore, planners use Unison Companion, OMP's generative AI assistant, to generate tables, compare scenarios, and retrieve information in natural language.
"This award recognizes the ongoing transformation of our end-to-end supply chain planning," says Bo Yang, Senior Manager, Global Supply Chain Process Management at Bekaert Rubber Reinforcement. "We've moved from manual Excel calculations and individual experience to standardized planning on OMP's Unison Planning™ platform. Our decisions are now backed by data, and our planning accuracy has improved significantly."
Long-Term Partnership Award: P&G and AstraZeneca
P&G, with operations in approximately 70 countries, joins global biopharma leader AstraZeneca in accepting the award for proving that value compounds the longer the partnership runs.
P&G celebrates 27 years of partnership with OMP dating back to 1999, and operates a planning network spanning more than 100 manufacturing sites and 200 distribution centers. The company has consolidated overlapping planning processes, with the majority of planning now handled touchlessly.
"Receiving OMP's Long-Term Partnership Award reflects years of trust and teamwork between our teams," says Jen Aberilla, Director, Regional Supply Network Operations Planning at P&G. "We're proud of what we've achieved together and look forward to building on it."
AstraZeneca has been working with OMP since 2021, replacing siloed, spreadsheet-based planning with a single capacity-constrained network plan. Most recently, the company has been collaborating with OMP on AI‑driven planning and advanced scenario modeling, allowing planners to focus on scenarios and exceptions. This has resulted in improved supply reliability and service levels, inventory reduction, and productivity savings.
Community Engagement Award: Mars and ITC
ITC's Paperboards & Specialty Papers Division, part of the Indian multi-business enterprise ITC Limited, and Mars, a global giant in confectionery, food products, and pet care services, received the Community Engagement Award for their active role in OMP Community events and councils.
ITC was recognized for its commitment to openly sharing its planning transformation with the wider supply chain community. By presenting its experience to industry peers, ITC has given them a candid look at how its journey unfolds in practice, with lessons other planning teams can apply.
Mars is a committed participant in the OMP Community councils and in governance through the executive board. Working with OMP, Mars has lowered inventory, consolidated its warehouse network, improved factory equipment effectiveness, and increased forecast accuracy.
"The world's most demanding manufacturers plan with OMP, and it is a privilege to see those relationships deepen over 10, 20, and 27 years. The results they achieve through this community are concrete: inventory goes down, forecast accuracy goes up, and decisions happen faster. Congratulations to each of them!" says Philip Vervloesem, Chief Commercial and Markets Officer at OMP.

Santa Cruz, CA Thursday Oct 22, 2026 @ 6:00 AM Pacific —
Young adults across Santa Cruz County have a new opportunity to earn money, gain professional experience, and launch their careers. Santa Cruz Works, in partnership with Cabrillo College and the City of Santa Cruz, is offering more than 10 paid internship opportunities with local businesses and nonprofit organizations.
The Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Internship Opportunity Program is designed for young adults, particularly those living in underserved communities. Participants will gain hands-on experience in fields including technology, marketing, media, sustainability, business operations, and community services.
Unlike unpaid internships that can be financially out of reach for many young people, these positions offer wages, flexible schedules, professional mentorship, and valuable career connections.
Real Jobs. Real Pay. Real Experience
Interns will work approximately 10 to 20 hours per week for up to six months, depending on the position. Each participant will work alongside an experienced supervisor, contribute to meaningful projects, and develop practical skills that can lead to future employment.
The program offers several important benefits:
Paid employment: Earn wages while gaining valuable professional experience.
Flexible schedules: Work 10 to 20 hours per week, allowing time for school and other commitments.
Professional mentorship: Receive guidance and feedback from experienced professionals.
Career development: Build a resume, develop workplace skills, and establish professional connections.
Local opportunities: Work with businesses and organizations throughout Santa Cruz County.
All internships must conclude by June 1, 2027.
More Than 10 Local Organizations Offering Opportunities
Participating organizations represent a diverse range of industries, offering young adults the chance to explore different career paths while contributing to their community.
Organizations offering internship opportunities include:
Clean Oceans International
Coastwoods Real Estate / Legacy Property
GeoPulse Solutions Inc.
KRML
Mission Hill Creamery
People First of Santa Cruz
Sarah Marschall Strategy
Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation
Santa Cruz Children's Museum of Discovery
Tannery World Dance and Cultural Center
Treeswax
United Way of Santa Cruz County
Positions and responsibilities vary by organization, providing opportunities for students and young adults with different interests, skills, and career goals.
Who Is Eligible?
The program is open to young adults 18 years and older who live in underserved communities in Santa Cruz County.
Priority is given to residents of neighborhoods including Beach Flats, Lower Ocean, Live Oak, Watsonville, San Lorenzo Valley, and the Pajaro Valley.
Applicants do not need extensive professional experience. The program is intended to help young people develop the skills, confidence, and connections necessary to enter the workforce.
There is no cost to apply.
From Internship to Career
The program builds on the success of its first cohort, which placed young adults with local businesses and nonprofits.
Previous participants gained experience in software engineering, marketing, communications, video production, and community outreach.
Yuliana Morales-Galvan, a software engineering intern at Nurbli, helped improve digital tools supporting Indigenous families. Emily Ramirez developed social media and outreach skills at Clean Oceans International, while Elsa Tamayo gained marketing and communications experience at Siena House.
These experiences demonstrate how a paid internship can provide more than a paycheck. Interns build confidence, develop professional relationships, and gain experience that strengthens future job and college applications.
How to Apply
Young adults interested in exploring available positions are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.

Agreement Expands tZERO’s Infrastructure-as-a-Service Business, Pairing Temple’s Proprietary Onchain Trading Technology With tZERO’s Regulated Broker-Dealer and ATS Capabilities
NEW YORK, NY - October 22, 2026 - tZERO Group, Inc., the Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) company powering tokenized financial markets, today announced that Temple Digital Group has engaged tZERO Securities, LLC to serve as the registered broker-dealer and alternative trading system (ATS) operator for Temple’s proprietary tokenized securities trading platform on the Canton Network.
Under the agreement, Temple will support its trading technology with tZERO Securities’ regulated operating infrastructure, including client onboarding and transaction services. This lets Temple bring tokenized securities trading to its clients without building its own broker-dealer and ATS capabilities.
“Institutions building tokenized markets need a regulated operating foundation that can work with their technology and business model,” said Alan Konevsky, Chief Executive Officer of tZERO. “Temple has developed one of the most powerful trading systems on Canton. By bringing our broker-dealer and ATS capabilities to that system, we can help Temple deliver its offering to clients while expanding the reach of tZERO’s Infrastructure-as-a-Service footprint as we focus on powering broker-dealers and other financial institutions at scale.”
Temple’s trading system includes a proprietary matching engine, an RFQ module and a central limit order book for tokenized National Market System (NMS) securities and exchange-traded products. It also includes a front-end user interface and settlement infrastructure designed to support atomic delivery-versus-payment and repurchase agreement settlement on Canton. Temple has executed over $1.6B in volume for Canton and is the largest platform by transaction volume on the network.
“We’re focused on developing regulated, onchain trading technologies for tokenized assets,” said Evan Varsamis, Chief Executive Officer of Temple Digital Group. “Working with tZERO allows us to combine our solutions with an established broker-dealer and ATS operator, providing the regulated infrastructure needed to support securities on our platform at scale.”
tZERO Securities, an SEC-registered broker-dealer and FINRA/SIPC member, will operate the dedicated platform. Implementation is pending; launch timing and product availability will be announced separately.
