Tech & Software · Week of Oct 26, 2026
Deals and divestitures dominate: the week in tech and software
Acquisitions, divestitures, a SPAC letter of intent and channel deals dominated the week, with AI-driven demand cited in energy and data center releases.
Deal activity set the tone this week. FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem said it completed its acquisition of Faraday Future's robotics business, CAE agreed to sell its Flightscape airline operations software unit to SITA, and Vertiv closed its purchase of King Environmental Services Ltd. GigCapital9 signed a non-binding letter of intent with a carbon capture company, and 111, Inc. said its special committee of three independent directors has appointed an independent financial advisor and legal counsel.
Artificial intelligence surfaced as a demand driver beyond software. GigCapital9 tied its proposed combination to power demand from AI applications, while Vertiv framed its acquisition around thermal services for high-density and AI-driven environments. Elsewhere, companies expanded distribution and customer relationships: Docusign's agreement management products will be sold as SAP Solution Extensions, and DarioHealth extended a contract with a regional grocery retailer.
