    <summary>The state Innovation Agency plans to dismiss 55 employees by the beginning of December 2026, including 41 management and organisation analysts and six accountants; according to the employment service the dismissals run from 9 Oct to 9 Dec 2026. The trigger is the new structure under the 2026-2030 strategy, which affects almost all departments and dissolves or merges some of them (tv3.lt citing 15min, 9 Oct 2026). — Source: https://www.tv3.lt/naujiena/naujienos/darbo-neteks-kelios-desimtys-darbuotoju-skelbia-apie-atleidimus-inovaciju-agenturoje-n1558331</summary>

    <summary>Danish defence group Terma announced on 17 Aug 2026 the full acquisition of Danish encryption specialist Dencrypt for a 'three-digit million' (DKK) sum; Terma aims to build Dencrypt's secure-communication technology into a market-leading solution amid growing defence demand. The exact purchase price was not disclosed, so the volume is uncertain and may be below the EUR 100m threshold (source: Stiften.dk, 17 Aug 2026); included as a structurally notable consolidation move in the European defence/cybersecurity market. — Source: https://stiften.dk/erhverv/terma-koeber-dansk-selskab-for-trecifret-millionbeloeb-har-store-ambitioner-paa-nyt-felt</summary>

    <title>📉 NSAI closes its medical-device division, cutting up to 20 jobs (Ireland)</title>

    <summary>Ireland's state standards body NSAI is closing its medical device testing and certification division, with up to 20 staff to be made redundant. According to the Department of Enterprise the board took the closure decision on 30 July 2026; the union Unite was only informed at the end of the following week. The announcement landed in the middle of an industrial dispute: staff in the section were already working to rule over a previously planned compulsory redundancy of one clinician. Unite considers the use of compulsory redundancy by a public sector employer unprecedented in recent times and points to already heavily reduced staffing that had created a backlog of work. Talks between the authority's management and the union were expected the following week. Update (31.08.2026): According to a regulatory services firm, NSAI plans to transfer its medical devices unit to an established testing, inspection and certification organisation rather than simply wind it down; no buyer has been named (Advena, 31.08.2026: https://www.advenaltd.eu/2026/08/nsai-to-withdraw-from-medical-device-certifications/). — Source: https://www.irishtimes.com/business/work/2026/08/08/national-standards-authority-of-ireland-plans-up-to-20-redundancies/</summary>
