Henning Bundgaard, a professor and senior physician at Rigshospitalet in Denmark, led a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine revealing that arterial calcification is far more widespread than previously assumed. [^1]

On 2026-04-12, Solita announced the acquisition of Copenhagen-based AI and data firm Heyra, marking the company's ninth acquisition in nine years. [^2]

Andreas Richter, an ecologist at the University of Vienna, secured a grant of up to 10 million euros from the Novo Nordisk Foundation for his new project ActiveSOIL. [^3]

Henning Bundgaard stated that cardiovascular diseases kill one out of three people globally, and for the vast majority of these deaths, arterial calcification is the most common single cause. [^4]

The study found that there is a 50 percent chance that a 40-year-old man has arterial calcification, which can lead to very serious heart disease. [^5]

The study revealed that every 13th person between the ages of 18 and 29 had arterial calcification, which Professor Bundgaard described as the most surprising finding. [^6]

In 2025, Solita's operating profit fell 65 percent to 7.2 million euros, though adjusted operating profit was 36 million euros. [^7]

Solita CEO Ossi Lindroos stated that the acquisition reinforces the company's position as one of Europe's leading AI and data firms. [^8]

Solita CEO Ossi Lindroos stated that the core of the deal is strengthening AI expertise and that Heyra's operational AI skills offer significant potential. [^9]

Andreas Richter stated that soil is not a renewable resource and that losing nutrient-rich soil with high biodiversity cannot be restored within human timescales. [^10]

Richter described the current political response to the climate crisis as 'complete political failure' and emphasized the need for natural soil management. [^11]

The ActiveSOIL project will run for six years to examine the activities of microorganisms in soils and their impact on nutrition and climate change. [^12]
