28 August 2026 Tekcapital plc ("Tekcapital" or the "Company") Portfolio Company Update Guident Corp. & Florida State College at Jacksonville Launch Autonomous Mobility Training Center Tekcapital plc (AIM: TEK), the UK intellectual property investment group focused on creating valuable products that can improve people's lives, is pleased to announce that Tekcapital portfolio company Guident CORP, a leader in autonomous vehicle remote monitoring and human-in-the-loop operations, has announced a strategic collaboration with Florida State College at Jacksonville (https://www.fscj.edu), ("FSCJ"), to advance workforce development for the rapidly evolving autonomous transportation industry. The partnership will support the development of an autonomous vehicle remote monitoring and control training program at FSCJ's Downtown Campus. The program gives students, faculty, and transportation professionals practical exposure to the technologies, workflows, and operating models required for transportation systems to transition from conventionally driven vehicles to autonomous and human-supervised mobility services. As a first major milestone, Guident has installed its GuideOn™ remote monitoring and operations technology at FSCJ, establishing the college as Guident's sixth Remote Monitor and Control Center (RMCC) location globally and marking the sixth GuideOn vehicle integration through the addition of FSCJ's "Olli" autonomous shuttle. The Olli autonomous shuttle will be incorporated into the training environment to provide hands-on experience for students learning remote assistance, analytics, safety procedures, and operational oversight. As autonomous vehicles become more common, the workforce will evolve beyond traditional drivers and maintenance technicians to include new roles focused on remote supervision, incident response, mobility data analysis, safety monitoring, and autonomous fleet operations. The partnership combines FSCJ's workforce-development mission with Guident's experience in human-in-the-loop autonomous vehicle operations and is designed to help prepare students and transportation professionals for the next generation of mobility jobs. It also supports a local talent pipeline for public transportation, campus mobility, airports, ports, logistics, municipal services, and commercial robotics.
