WASHINGTON, April 22, 2026 — Australian construction software company Render Networks announced $14.3 million in private equity growth funding alongside the acquisition of mPower Innovations.
The move allows Render to join the expected utility infrastructure buildout as developers race to stay ahead of AI grid demands. BlackKite Partners is an Australian private equity firm which launched in March of this year.
As part of the acquisition, Render will transition their digital modeling platform to Esri’s ArcGIS system, widely used by urban developers and governments. mPower Innovations founder Greg Calcari and CEO Jason Brown will stay on with Render in senior leadership roles.
The patent Bell filed in 1876 never described a speaking telephone. His lawyers later argued it did.
The FCC's drone ruling, once aimed at China-based DJI, now covers all foreign components, and industry experts warn the broad scope may backfire on American drone dominance.
Among the 10 companies blacklisted by China are AVEOX in Simi Valley, California; Red Cat Holdings and Teal Drones, both in South Salt Lake, Utah; and IMSAR in Springville, Utah.
Society has no choice but to change in the advent of AI, although Huang has been optimistic about the technology’s potential.
