Huawei and Qualcomm sign patent deal covering 5G, AI and networking
THE SO WHAT
A multi-year Huawei–Qualcomm patent deal on 5G, AI, computing, and networking reduces legal overhang and clears the way for broader cross-licensing in critical comms tech. Device and infra OEMs should expect fewer IP surprises in these stacks—and more focus on differentiation in software and services.

Deep & Emerging TechAIDAQ 2026: AI is Now a staple of The Quantum story
AI showing up everywhere at AIDAQ—optimization, error correction, control—means quantum roadmaps are now co-dependent on AI progress. If you’re investing in or partnering with quantum players, evaluate their AI stack and data strategy as critically as their qubit count.
Deep & Emerging TechReclinker raises £10m to turn demolition waste back into cement
Cutting cement emissions by ~50% at parity cost using demolition waste is a real wedge into one of the dirtiest industrial inputs. If you operate in construction or real estate, start mapping where low-carbon cement can slot into projects without blowing up budgets or codes.
Deep & Emerging TechThink that email is legit? Check these 8 phishing red flags first
Phishing remains effective because the human in the loop is still the softest target, even with better filters. Security teams should treat user training as a continuous product—short, frequent pattern updates—rather than a once-a-year compliance exercise.
Deep & Emerging TechD-Wave and University of Arkansas Launch Quantum Supply Chain Initiative
Quantum is moving from abstract optimization demos into domain-specific partnerships — here, supply chain with a major business school. If you run complex logistics or inventory networks, this is a cue to identify one or two high-value optimization problems and track whether quantum annealing yields any measurable edge over your current OR stack.
