PITAKA Introduces iPhone 18 Case Collection Featuring Advanced Protection and Refined Design

The Edge and Guard series combine lightweight aramid fiber with enhanced protection, innovative craftsmanship, and an expanded palette of nature-inspired patterns.

HONG KONG, Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the successful debut of its "Signals in the Wind" brand event in Berlin on September 4, where PITAKA presented its latest designs inspired by nature, the brand today introduced its latest case collection for the iPhone 18 series. The recognition comes on the heels of PITAKA's NYPDA Gold Award win, with the brand earning an IFA Innovation Award Honoree 2026 designation during IFA 2026, where its product was showcased, as well as a Best of IFA award from Yanko Design. Featuring two distinct lines — Edge and Guard — the collection combines premium aramid fiber with enhanced drop protection and a broader range of woven patterns, bringing PITAKA's signature material approach to Apple's latest lineup.

"With this collection, we wanted every material decision to say something — not just protect the phone, but change how it feels in your hand," said James Zheng, Founder of PITAKA. "Edge and Guard represent two different answers to the same question: how do you add protection without losing the thing that made aramid fiber worth using in the first place — the way it feels, moves, and ages with you."

Edge Series: Lightweight and Close-Fitting Protection

The Edge Series emphasizes a minimal profile, utilizing woven aramid fiber to provide everyday scratch and drop protection without adding bulk. Its textured surface offers natural friction for an ergonomic, non-slip grip.

The case integrates PitaTap™, PITAKA's proprietary capacitive camera button, built by seamlessly embedding a sensor into less than 1mm of aramid fiber through a one-piece molding process. To boost impact absorption without compromising weight, the case incorporates Mammoth Resin™ — a proprietary compound developed over 14 months through 300 formulation iterations and more than 400 drop tests, delivering up to twice the drop resistance of PITAKA's previous resin. A subtle P-angle corner design further simplifies installation and removal.

Guard Series: Enhanced Impact Resistance and Seamless Craftsmanship

The Guard Series introduces two distinct models — Cairn and Summa — tailored for users seeking higher levels of defense:

- Cairn Case: Combines woven aramid fiber with impact-resistant TPU and an upgraded Bow-Arc Corner Buffer 2.0. Inspired by outdoor gear structures, this design reinforces corner protection against severe drops while giving the case a rugged aesthetic.

- Summa Case: Leverages 3D thermoforming technology to wrap aramid fiber smoothly around the edges, resulting in a continuous woven surface with virtually no visible seams. It features a high-toughness resin core and a built-in lanyard anchor for added everyday security.

Expanded Color Palette and Nature-Inspired Patterns

The collection expands PITAKA's woven lineup with new design categories:

- Wind Over Wheat Series: Available in Golden Drift, Surging Awn, and Berlin Nocturne.

- Argyle Finishes: Offered in Lava Black, Abyss Blue, Burgundy, and Blue's Red.

- Moment Series: Featuring updated iterations of classic weaves alongside new seasonal patterns.

Stay tuned for even more series and patterns coming soon.

Each pattern draws inspiration from elements in nature — light, movement, and natural textures — woven directly into the structural aramid fibers.

Beyond Phone Cases: Expanding the Ecosystem

Under the design motif "What Else Can It Be?" the iPhone 18 launch also marks an expansion of PITAKA's broader product ecosystem. The brand is applying its aramid and carbon-fiber craftsmanship to everyday tech essentials, including carbon-fiber watch bands, bi-fold wallets, and MacBook protective cases.

Pricing and Availability

The iPhone 18 case collection starts at $59.99 and is available today on the official PITAKA's Official Website and Amazon. Cases for Apple's first foldable device, the iPhone Ultra — including front covers, back covers, and full combination sets — range from $54.99 to $109.99.

About PITAKA

PITAKA is a material technology and lifestyle brand exploring how materials, craftsmanship, and design can transform interaction with everyday technology. Guided by its philosophy of Material & Sense, PITAKA crafts aramid-fiber cases, MagSafe accessories, and ecosystem solutions for Apple and Samsung devices.

Lorex Connect Expands V Series Lineup with Professional-Grade 4K Security Solutions for Homes and Businesses

The new V7 4K PoE Camera and VF 16-Channel NVR feature enhanced low-light performance, intelligent detection and improved system capacity, expanding the Lorex Connect V Series' range of versatility.

TORONTO, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lorex Technology, a generational leader in privacy-first security, announced today the release of the V7 4K PoE Camera and VF 16-Channel NVR while spotlighting the V Series connected ecosystem. The new side-by-side releases take another bold step in shaping the Connect V Series around premium hardware and powerful software control.

Designed for both residential and commercial properties, every V Series camera leverages Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology to carry power and high-definition video over a single cable. Building on this reliable, simplified practicality, the V7 camera introduces a new upper tier of video performance, backed by the VF NVR's upgraded capacity, channel count, and feature support to enable robust, commercial-grade video security in a wide variety of settings.

V7 4K PoE Camera: Premium Video Capture Headlining a Dynamic Lineup

The new V7 camera introduces the V Series' best low-light performance and wide-area coverage yet. Able to capture clear, vivid color footage in dark environments without relying on bright spotlights, it ensures crucial details remain visible any time of day or night. An ultra-wide viewing angle allows a single unit to monitor expansive spaces like long driveways, commercial storefronts, or large parking lots that would normally require multiple cameras.

When paired with the new VF NVR channel, the V7 delivers premium license plate and facial recognition capabilities, providing actionable updates when familiar people and vehicles enter the property, regardless of lighting or weather conditions. The V7 also features Lens Distortion Correction, which is enabled when paired with a compatible NVR and reduces the curvature caused by wide-angle footage, helping keep straight lines straight for a clearer, more true-to-life view.

Designed with an IP67-rated all-weather housing, the V7 delivers reliable, high performance outdoor security built to last, whether monitoring your home or business.

Supporting the Lorex Connect V Series' versatile utility are the existing V3 and V5 cameras. The foundational V3 provides essential high-definition protection through clear video in light and dark scenes, smart alerts based on person and vehicle detection, and a warning light and siren for active deterrence. The V5 raises the bar by implementing intrusion, line-crossing, and tampering detection to protect both an extended area of a property and the security system itself. It also upgrades low-light performance using AI-supported image processing for better color accuracy while adding custom deterrence lighting colors, which provide benefits such as improved visibility and stronger deterrence.

With the release of the V7, these high-level detection and low-light processing features are now offered at the highest tier of Lorex Connect V Series cameras. Together, the tiered options let homeowners and businesses craft the ideal security system tailored to specific needs across entire properties.

VF 16-Channel NVR: Centralized Control with Expanded Onboard Storage

For straightforward, continuous recording and scalable system capacity, the new VF NVR serves as a central hub for larger residential or commercial spaces. It manages up to 16 active camera channels and wields the processing power required to support the V7's face and license plate recognition capabilities. Generous, expandable local storage lets users enjoy the flexibility of retaining weeks of secure footage directly on device with no mandatory cloud subscription fees.

Despite its professional-grade storage and performance, the VF NVR operates quietly in the background utilizing QuietTek fanless cooling technology, maintaining pristine living spaces and quiet work environments.

The new 16-channel VF joins the existing VC NVR and its 8-channel configuration, ideal for smaller security deployments. Along with comparable, subscription-free local storage and quiet operation, the VC NVR implements smart search tools that can easily locate specific events to avoid hours of poring over stored video.

Lorex Connect V Series: Top-Tier Home and Business Security with User-Friendly Control

Lorex Connect V Series cameras and NVRs are quick and easy to install and manage. Every step, from connecting the NVR to mounting and angling the cameras, can be completed with ease. Through the Lorex Connect app, users can also just as easily configure detection zones, enable and customize deterrence features, and set up quick response messages and two-way talk.

"With the Lorex Connect V Series, we set out to close the gap between premium security hardware and everyday usability," said Steve Hong, VP, Global Sales and Marketing at Lorex Technology. "The addition of the V7 camera and VF NVR gives properties the advanced capture and scalable storage they need to build a comprehensive, wired system tailored to their specific environment."

The Lorex Connect V Series includes the V3, V5 and V7 4K PoE Cameras, offering options to meet a range of security needs, along with 8- and 16-channel NVRs for flexible system configurations.

HONG KONG, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from chinadailyhk.com:

High-level officials and society leaders gathered in Hong Kong on Thursday for a major conference on integration of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, with keynote speakers highlighting the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's role as a "super connector" between the Chinese mainland and global markets amid rapidly shifting geopolitical and technological landscapes.

The conference, themed "New Dynamics in Asia-Pacific Cooperation, New Opportunities for GBA Connectivity", was co-organized by China Daily and the Hong Kong Coalition, bringing together nearly 300 government officials, consuls general, business leaders and representatives from think tanks, academia and media, as well as public-private sector experts from across Asia.

Leung Chun-ying, vice-chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said that collaborative initiatives unveiled recently in data and healthcare between Hong Kong and Nansha in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, underscore the unique role of Hong Kong as a partner and super connector linking the Greater Bay Area with the rest of the world.

He said the steps to be taken are clear and necessary — to promote better government-to-business and business-to-business interactions between Hong Kong and Guangdong.

"The new momentum generated in recent months through cooperation between Guangdong cities in the Greater Bay Area and Hong Kong will benefit other Asia-Pacific countries and regions," Leung said.

Hong Kong SAR Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu said in a video speech that the Greater Bay Area is fast becoming one of the most dynamic and integrated economic powerhouses in the world, underscoring Hong Kong's role as the only world city that converges both the China advantage and the global advantage.

Lee said that this role takes on new significance this year, as the 33rd Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Economic Leaders' Meeting will be held in Shenzhen, Guangdong, in November, a historic first for the Greater Bay Area, and Hong Kong will host the APEC Finance Ministers' Meeting in October. He added that the region is ready for the spotlight.

Lee said that Hong Kong has a deep and liquid market and a strong pool of financial and professional talent, and the city has become Asia's premier fundraising, asset management and risk management hub.

He said the Hong Kong Park of the Hetao Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone is key to turning cutting-edge ideas into tangible outcomes and world-class research into products, by bringing together Hong Kong's research excellence and the Chinese mainland's advanced manufacturing capabilities.

He added that talent is central to Hong Kong's innovation and technology push, while highlighting the "one town, five elements" framework for the Northern Metropolis University Town Area — a hub where universities, research institutes and industries will be set up together to integrate the five elements of education, technology, talent, industry and urban development.

"Integrating into and serving overall national development, Hong Kong brings together ideas, capital and talent across boundaries, and connects the Greater Bay Area with global markets. Together, we are not just building the Greater Bay Area. We are shaping a more connected, innovative and prosperous future," Lee said.

Qu Yingpu, publisher and editor-in-chief of China Daily, said that the China Daily Hong Kong Edition has chronicled Hong Kong's remarkable voyage — enduring storms, celebrating triumphs and now recording a new era of transformation from stability to prosperity, aligned with the vibrant rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

"Amid shifting communication landscapes and unprecedented global change, we will continue to share the living story of and contribute to this 'one country, two systems', the dynamism of the Greater Bay Area and China's unwavering commitment to an open global economy," he said.

Qu also said that he believes that Hong Kong will continue to innovate, leap forward and forge new heights of achievement with its first five-year plan, which is scheduled to be published on Sept 16.

Hong Kong SAR Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po stressed connectivity and Hong Kong's role in connecting the world in an age of profound change driven by geopolitics and technological transformation.

"As the country's most internationally connected region, the Greater Bay Area presents a strong value proposition for Asia-Pacific collaboration," Chan said. "It rests on a simple conviction: When we partner, we do not merely add up our strengths — we multiply them and extend their reach well beyond Asia."

The conference also featured three panel discussions on Hong Kong's financial opportunities in the changing Asia-Pacific landscape, the synergy in commercial aerospace development between the HKSAR and Shenzhen, and education in the artificial intelligence era.

Panelists highlighted how Hong Kong can seize opportunities arising from deeper Asia-Pacific economic and trade cooperation to enhance its influence as a global financial hub.

Discussions also centered on harnessing the Greater Bay Area's manufacturing capabilities and Hong Kong's strengths, exploring ways to build a collaborative commercial space ecosystem.

Panelists also examined how the education sector can reinvent its model with AI to cultivate talent that serves the Greater Bay Area and the Asia-Pacific market.

NetActuate makes NETINT Quadra VPU acceleration available as a service on a global anycast network as an industry alternative to hardware procurement and hyperscaler clouds.

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NetActuate, a leading provider of global infrastructure and network services in more than 45 locations worldwide, today announced that NETINT Quadra Video Processing Units (VPUs) are now live in 15 of its global points of presence, with additional locations available for custom deployments. The expansion builds on the companies' February partnership announcement and will be on display at NETINT's booth, 1.D49, throughout IBC 2026.

NetActuate's VPU-as-a-Service offering provides the infrastructure needed to give engineering teams direct, self-service access to purpose-built video-processing silicon without the need to secure any servers or VPU cards themselves. Customers attach a NETINT VPU directly to a virtual machine, or managed Kubernetes node in NetActuate's network through a secure passthrough, with full pipeline control, tooling, metrics, and observability. Integrations with bare metal servers are also available.

Where a hyperscaler's black-box transcoding service means submitting jobs into someone else's pipeline and accepting its pricing and turnaround, NetActuate's model puts the VPU directly in the customer's own VM or Kubernetes node, deployable in seconds rather than days or weeks. The VPU works with the encoding software teams already run, open source or commercial, so nobody has to give up a pipeline to get the economics of dedicated silicon. Teams attach a VPU and keep the workflow they trust, at a fraction of general-purpose cloud compute cost, with no lock-in to a single provider's proprietary transcoding API. NETINT's own Bitstreams software and Bitstreams Manager run on the VPU for teams that want a complete platform from one vendor.

"Streaming teams want the performance of dedicated video silicon without losing control of their own workflow," said Randal Horne, Chief Revenue Officer at NETINT Technologies. "NetActuate's expansion to 15 locations, combined with self-service deployment and now the Marketplace, gives teams a fast, low-risk way to prove out VPU-based encoding on real infrastructure before committing to scale."

"NETINT built the VPU category, and this is what deploying on it should feel like: you pick your compute, you attach the accelerator, and you're running your own pipeline in seconds instead of negotiating with a black box," said Mark Mahle, CEO of NetActuate. "Pairing that with the Marketplace means a customer can build a complete stack with encoding, streaming, delivery from software they already trust, running in markets of their choice."

Media Marketplace

The NETINT partnership also now extends to the NetActuate Media Marketplace, which runs on the same global network as VPU acceleration. Customers can pair NETINT's own Bitstreams encoding software with a partner appliance to assemble a full video processing stack from ingest to delivery, without a proprietary hyperscaler service getting in the way.

Now Available

VPUaaS is available now as a turnkey offering on NetActuate's platform: a VPU-enabled virtual machine or Kubernetes node deploys in seconds from the NetActuate portal or API, with pre-installed capacity live today in 15 locations and custom hardware builds available in other markets on request.

NetActuate is available to discuss deployment options for any workload size and will set up a no-charge evaluation deployment for qualified prospects evaluating VPU-based encoding. Talk to the team at IBC to scope a deployment, or visit NETINT at booth 1.D49 during IBC 2026, September 11 to 14 in Amsterdam, to see the integration live.

About NetActuate

NetActuate delivers edge infrastructure and network solutions in more than 45 locations worldwide, enabling customers to deploy workloads with low latency, resiliency, and security. The Open Network Edge (ONE) IaaS platform supports VMs, Kubernetes, cloud, colocation, bare metal, and storage infrastructure with Anycast connectivity. NetActuate provides 24x7 support, expert consulting, and flexible solutions engineered for scalability and performance. For more information, visit netactuate.com.

About NETINT

NETINT Technologies is the 2024 Tech Emmy Award winner for "Design & Deployment of Efficient Hardware Video Accelerators for Cloud" and the founder of the VPU category. With more than 225,000 VPUs deployed, encoding over 1.1 trillion minutes of video, the world's largest streaming services rely on NETINT to cut energy and OPEX by up to 20x.

Cheetah Mobile Announces Second Quarter 2026 Unaudited Consolidated Financial Results

- Services of cloud and AI infrastructure revenue increased 83.1% year over year and 26.2% quarter over quarter, accounting for 72.8% of Global Enterprise Services revenue and 22.2% of total revenues and making a positive contribution to the adjusted operating results of Global Enterprise Services.

- Robotics and others revenue increased 72.5% year over year and 6.4% quarter over quarter, accounting for 20.5% of total revenues.

BEIJING, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cheetah Mobile Inc. ("Cheetah Mobile" or the "Company") (NYSE: CMCM), a China-based IT company with a commitment to AI innovation, today announced its unaudited consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Financial Highlights

- Total revenues were RMB266.1 million (US$39.2 million) in the second quarter of 2026, representing a decrease of 9.9% year over year and an increase of 2.7% quarter over quarter.

-

- Advertising agency services revenue, which is included in the Global Enterprise Services segment, decreased 70.0% year over year and 15.0% quarter over quarter to RMB22.0 million, primarily due to changes in rebate policies implemented by a major global advertising platform. Its contribution to total revenues declined to 8.3% from 24.9% in the same period last year. Revenues excluding advertising agency services were RMB244.1 million, increasing approximately 10.1% year over year and 4.7% quarter over quarter. The decline in advertising agency services revenue was a significant factor in the year-over-year increase in the Company's operating loss in the second quarter of 2026.

-

- In the Global Enterprise Services segment, revenues from services of cloud and AI infrastructure increased 83.1% year over year and 26.2% quarter over quarter to RMB59.1 million, accounting for 72.8% of Global Enterprise Services revenue and 22.2% of total revenues, compared with approximately 10.9% of total revenues in the same period last year. The increase was driven by growing demand from enterprises expanding overseas for cloud resources, computing power and AI model services.

- Robotics and others revenue increased 72.5% year over year and 6.4% quarter over quarter to RMB54.5 million, accounting for 20.5% of total revenues, driven by an increase in sales volume of our robotic products. The year-over-year increase benefited from the contribution of UFACTORY, a provider of lightweight robotic arms acquired by the Company on July 29, 2025.

- Internet value-added services revenue, which is included in the Internet Services segment, increased 6.7% year over year and 2.9% quarter over quarter to RMB101.2 million, accounting for 77.6% of segment revenue, and 38.0% of total revenues, due to increase in user base and distribution channels.

Balance Sheet

- As of June 30, 2026, the Company had RMB1,271.0 million (US$187.3 million) in cash and cash equivalents.

Management Commentary

Fu Sheng, Chief Executive Officer of Cheetah Mobile, commented: "During the second quarter, we continued to evolve our business mix, with revenue from services of cloud and AI infrastructure within Global Enterprise Services growing 83.1% year over year, driven by demand from enterprises expanding overseas for cloud and AI infrastructure services, accounting for 22.2% total revenues in the quarter. Gross billings[1] from services of cloud and AI infrastructure exceeded RMB500 million during the quarter, compared with about RMB200 million in the same period last year and about RMB300 million in the previous quarter, reflecting the rapid expansion of customer demand and business scale. Robotics and others revenue increased 72.5% year over year and accounted for 20.5% of total revenues in the quarter, with new initiatives such as smart mobility beginning to contribute revenue. The growth of these AI-related businesses underscores the progress of our AI-driven transformation.

Internet Services remained a stable foundation for our business. Internet value-added services revenue increased both year over year and sequentially and represented 77.6% of segment revenue. While advertising agency services revenue within Global Enterprise Services remained under pressure, growth in services of cloud and AI infrastructure and Robotics and others supported the Company's return to sequential revenue growth while strengthening our foundation for future growth."

Thomas Ren, Chief Financial Officer of Cheetah Mobile, commented: "Second-quarter revenue increased 2.7% sequentially. Operating loss was RMB33.6 million, compared with RMB28.3 million in the previous quarter, while non-GAAP operating loss remained relatively stable at RMB25.6 million, compared with RMB22.5 million in the previous quarter.

The sequential movement in non-GAAP operating loss reflected higher adjusted operating profit in Internet Services, offset by lower adjusted operating profit in Global Enterprise Services resulting from lower advertising agency services revenue, as well as a wider adjusted operating loss in Robotics and others. Adjusted operating profit from Internet Services increased 14.2% year over year and 67.2% sequentially, with adjusted operating margin improving to 19.4%. Services of cloud and AI infrastructure continued to scale rapidly. However, the growth of cloud and AI infrastructure services partially offset the negative impact of lower advertising agency services revenue on the segment's adjusted operating profit. We ended the quarter with US$187.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, providing us with the flexibility to invest prudently in our AI and robotics businesses."

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Total revenues decreased 9.9% year over year and increased 2.7% quarter over quarter to RMB266.1 million (US$39.2 million).

- Internet Services revenue decreased 17.3% year over year and 3.4% quarter over quarter to RMB130.5 million (US$19.2 million).

-

- Within the segment, internet value-added services revenue increased 6.7% year over year and 2.9% quarter over quarter to RMB101.2 million, accounting for 77.6% of segment revenue.

- Online advertising revenue decreased 53.5% year over year and 20.2% quarter over quarter to RMB29.3 million, accounting for 22.4% of segment revenue.

- Global Enterprise Services revenue decreased 23.3% year over year and increased 11.5% quarter over quarter to RMB81.1 million (US$12.0 million).

-

- Services of cloud and AI infrastructure revenue, which is included in this segment, increased 83.1% year over year and 26.2% quarter over quarter to RMB59.1 million, accounting for 72.8% of segment revenue.

- Advertising agency services revenue decreased 70.0% year over year and 15.0% quarter over quarter to RMB22.0 million, accounting for 27.2% of segment revenue.

- Robotics and others revenue increased 72.5% year over year and 6.4% quarter over quarter to RMB54.5 million (US$8.0 million).

Operating loss was RMB33.6 million (US$5.0 million), compared with RMB11.1 million in the same period last year and RMB28.3 million in the first quarter of 2026.

Non-GAAP operating loss was RMB25.6 million (US$3.8 million), compared with RMB2.1 million in the same period last year and RMB22.5 million in the first quarter of 2026. The year-over-year increase primarily reflected lower advertising agency services revenue within the Global Enterprise Services segment.

- Adjusted operating profit from Internet Services was RMB25.4 million, increasing by 14.2% year over year and 67.2% quarter over quarter. Adjusted operating margin for the segment expanded to 19.4%, compared with 14.1% in the same period last year and 11.3% in the first quarter of 2026.

- Adjusted operating profit from Global Enterprise Services was RMB9.3 million, decreasing by 80.7% year over year and 32.0% quarter over quarter, primarily reflecting lower advertising agency services revenue.

- Adjusted operating loss from Robotics and others was RMB34.0 million, narrowing by 35.5% from RMB52.7 million in the same period last year, but widening from RMB26.9 million in the first quarter of 2026, as the Company continued to invest in the development and commercialization of its robotics businesses.

Governor Kehoe Joins United WE to Celebrate New Law Removing Barriers to Work

HB 2974 makes it easier for qualified professionals from across state lines to get licensed and put their skills to work in Missouri, including health care workers providing telehealth

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe joined United WE – a nonpartisan think-and-do tank working to strengthen the economy by increasing women's labor force participation – at its Kansas City headquarters for a ceremonial signing of House Bill 2974 (HB 2974). The bill was formally signed into law on July 13 and effective August 28. Missouri House Speaker Dr. Jon Patterson and Rep. Sherri Gallick also attended and spoke at the event.

The new law shortens the wait for qualified professionals licensed in other states to begin working in Missouri.

Missouri has recognized out-of-state professional licenses since 2018, including for military spouses. HB 2974 builds on that foundation in two ways:

- Telehealth. The law resolves a question the old statute left open: a health care provider who receives a Missouri license based on an out-of-state license is fully licensed here, including to treat Missouri patients by telehealth.

- Three more interstate licensing agreements. Missouri has joined nine health care licensing compacts since 2016, covering everyone from nurses and physical therapists to counselors and EMTs. HB 2974 adds physician assistants, athletic trainers and dietitians, bringing the total to twelve. Professions without a compact are still covered by Missouri's general recognition law.

HB 2974 builds on Missouri's broader efforts to reduce barriers to licensed work. The Archbridge Institute's 2026 State Occupational Licensing Index ranks Missouri as having the lowest occupational licensing burden in the country, with Kansas second-lowest. The new law continues that focus by making it easier for qualified professionals to put existing credentials to work in Missouri.

HB 2974 was sponsored by Rep. Melanie Stinnett of Springfield and handled in the Senate by Sen. Jamie Burger of Benton. It cleared the House Professional Registration and Licensing Committee 21-0 and the Rules-Administrative Oversight Committee 6-0 before passing both chambers. United WE was among the organizations that testified in support of the bill in committee.

"As a small businessman at heart, my administration is always looking for ways to cut unnecessary red tape and get government out of the way for employers to thrive in Missouri," said Governor Mike Kehoe. "This legislation does just that by helping qualified professionals get to work faster, expanding opportunities for telehealth, and adding new interstate licensing compacts. I want to thank the Missouri General Assembly for getting this commonsense solution to my desk, and the many organizations like United WE that continue to support efforts to modernize occupational licensing."

Having to get a new professional license after a move can delay people from returning to work even when they are already qualified. That can be especially disruptive for military spouses, caregivers returning to the workforce and professionals pursuing new opportunities. United WE has studied these barriers and supported policy changes in multiple states aimed at improving license portability, streamlining requirements, and identifying where licensing requirements are necessary and where they can be modernized. Because women are especially likely to work in licensed or certified occupations, these barriers can have an outsized effect on their ability to enter, reenter or remain in the workforce. In 2025, 25.1% of employed women held a professional license, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

"A qualified professional who moves to Missouri should not have to spend months proving again that she can do a job she's already qualified to do," said Wendy Doyle, President and CEO of United WE. "Our research has shown that unnecessary licensing barriers can keep skilled people—especially women—from entering, reentering or advancing in the workforce. HB 2974 shows what can happen when research, policymakers and employers come together around a practical solution: remove the barrier without lowering the standard, and we are grateful to Governor Kehoe and to Rep. Stinnett and Sen. Burger for getting it done."

In 2025, United WE began a multi-year research initiative examining how occupational licensing barriers affect career mobility, entrepreneurship, and workforce access. In April 2026, United WE launched a national taskforce bringing together leaders from policy, research, and industry to identify additional opportunities to modernize Missouri's occupational licensing practices. This initiative is supported by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.
