\nFutures Lab identified 45+ therapeutic opportunities on a $33,000 budget, expands to 12 university partners with 100% retention, and uncovers assets representing more than $500 million in prior industry investment.<\/b><\/p>
RUTHERFORD, N.J. & LA JOLLA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Glucotrack (NASDAQ: GCTK) today announced the continued expansion of the ai\u00b2 Futures Lab\u2122<\/a> operated through its wholly owned subsidiary, L\u014dkahi Therapeutics\u2122 Inc. During its first year, the ai\u00b2 Futures Lab\u2122 identified more than 45 therapeutic opportunities on a budget of approximately $33,000 and advanced five into active company discussions. These assets represent more than $500 million in prior biopharmaceutical investment and include opportunities with human clinical data, positive efficacy signals, and meaningful remaining exclusivity. The ai\u00b2 Futures Lab\u2122 is expanding from six university collaborations to 12 universities for the 2026-2027 academic year while achieving 100% retention of inaugural university partners.<\/p> \nThe pharmaceutical industry discontinues thousands of assets each year due to portfolio reprioritization, funding constraints, strategic shifts, or organizational decisions. L\u014dkahi believes significant value remains trapped within many of these programs. The ai\u00b2 Futures Lab\u2122 leverages strategic university partnerships and standard pharmaceutical due diligence processes to identify therapeutic assets that may be candidates for acquisition, advancement, partnering, or monetization. Students work directly with L\u014dkahi leadership and industry experts through structured 8- to 10-week engagements, gaining real-world exposure to biopharmaceutical business development while the Company builds a continuous pipeline of late-stage asset opportunities with minimal incremental cash outlay.<\/p> \nThe model is designed to convert prior industry investment into strategic optionality. Rather than relying solely on traditional business development channels or high-cost external consulting engagements, L\u014dkahi uses the ai\u00b2 Futures Lab\u2122 as a distributed asset origination engine. Student teams apply structured diligence across clinical, commercial, regulatory, intellectual property, financial, and strategic workstreams, with findings reviewed by L\u014dkahi leadership for potential company action. The result is expanded analytical capacity, earlier visibility into overlooked opportunities, and a capital-efficient mechanism for identifying assets with potential strategic value.<\/p> \nFirst-Year Results<\/p> \n\u201cOne of the biggest inefficiencies in biopharma is that companies spend enormous amounts of capital creating potential value and then walk away from it,\u201d said Erik Emerson, Chief Executive Officer of Glucotrack. \u201cThe ai\u00b2 Futures Lab\u2122 is built on a simple premise: one company\u2019s discard may be another company\u2019s opportunity. If an asset has human safety data, positive efficacy signals, and a viable path forward, we believe it deserves rigorous evaluation rather than being forgotten. Through a disciplined, repeatable due diligence process, we identify overlooked assets, determine whether value remains, and evaluate pathways for advancement, partnership, acquisition, or monetization. We believe this model can fundamentally change how biopharma thinks about building a pipeline.\u201d<\/p> \n\u201cWhat makes the ai\u00b2 Futures Lab\u2122 unique is that participants work on real-world opportunities and contribute to a structured decision-making process with real-world implications,\u201d said Andrew H. Potter, Director of the Office of University Experiential Learning and Head of the Innovation District\u2019s Student Industry Fellows Program at the University of Georgia. \u201cIt is a compelling example of how university and industry partnerships can simultaneously create educational value and support meaningful industry innovation.\u201d<\/p> \nL\u014dkahi views the ai\u00b2 Futures Lab\u2122 as a strategic extension of its Discover, Advance, Monetize operating model. The platform is designed to identify distressed, shelved, or under-prioritized assets, evaluate clinical, commercial, regulatory, intellectual property, and strategic fit, and move the most promising opportunities into company review. Each project expands the Company\u2019s intelligence network, strengthens its evaluation framework, and supports a more continuous approach to sourcing potential late-stage asset opportunities.<\/p> \nOne company\u2019s discard may be another company\u2019s opportunity.
