At MarketScale, we've always believed in the power of B2B media and the importance of experts sharing their knowledge as creators. Today, we're thrilled to share that this approach to creating valuable, educational, and engaging content is being recognized. We are honored to announce that MarketScale has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing companies again.

This recognition is not a testament to our growth but a reflection of the reality that experts need to be at the forefront of B2B media creation. In a world saturated with information, genuine expertise stands out, and we've made it our mission to ensure that it's heard, seen, and valued.

In a world saturated with information, genuine expertise stands out, and we've made it our mission to ensure that it's heard, seen, and valued.

Make it Easy for Experts to become Creators

From our inception, MarketScale has championed the idea that those with deep industry knowledge should be the ones crafting the narratives. It is the job of the marketing team to elevate the experts in their communities and give them a voice – not to speak for them. It's not just about producing content; it's about producing content that resonates, informs, and drives industries forward. By placing experts at the helm of content creation, we ensure that the B2B media we produce is both authentic and impactful.

The Inc. 5000 recognition underscores the fact that our approach is not only innovative but also highly effective. As industries evolve, there's an increasing demand for content that's both insightful and authoritative. At MarketScale we have dedicated ourselves to being at the forefront of making it easy for B2B companies to meet this demand. The continued development of MarketScale Studio has made it the flagship platform for simplifying the creation of community-generated content. This year we have focused on adding new features while keeping the platform extremely simple to use. Highlights from the additions this year include: Proofing rooms for adding notes to specific timestamps in videos, shortened editing turnaround through the addition of the editing queue, AI-powered transcriptions for videos and podcasts, the magic edit button and edit form for faster & better edit requests, and an updated request media feature that includes an open link. These additions have helped to reduce friction in the media creation process and empower people who never thought of themselves as creators to start creating. We're proud to see our efforts and the efforts of all of our partners being acknowledged in this manner.

Gratitude to Our Partners

While this is a significant accomplishment for our team here at MarketScale, we recognize that our journey has been a collaborative one. Our success is intertwined with the success of our partners – the B2B industry-leading businesses that have trusted us to help guide and create their media.

We are deeply thankful to our partners who have been instrumental in our growth. By engaging their communities, they've not only enriched the B2B media landscape but have also played a pivotal role in creating community-generated content. This content, rooted in real-world experiences and challenges, has been a game-changer, offering unparalleled insights and fostering genuine connections.

Our partners' willingness to move beyond traditional marketing and share their expertise, stories, and innovations has proven that the B2B world wants more valuable, industry and topic-specific media that is truly educational – not just an ad.

This commitment to sharing, educating, and bringing a personal touch back to B2B has been the cornerstone of all of our collective success. Together, we are creating communities where knowledge is not just shared but celebrated.

Looking Ahead: The Future of B2B Media

As we celebrate this recognition, we're also looking ahead. The B2B media landscape is ever-evolving, and we're excited about the future as more and more businesses commit to building and engaging their communities through community-generated content. Our commitment to our philosophy remains unwavering, and we're continually exploring ways to simplify the process of amplifying the voices of experts even further.

We envision a future where B2B media is not just a tool for information but a platform for inspiration. A future where businesses don't just consume content but actively participate in its creation. With our partners by our side and our community's continued support, we're confident that this vision will become a reality.

But Back to Today…

Being named to the Inc. 5000 list for another year is a significant win, and we're honored by the recognition. It's a testament to a lot of hard work, our partners' trust, and our community's engagement. As we celebrate this milestone, we're reminded of the journey that brought us here – a journey marked by collaboration, innovation, and a relentless pursuit of a higher level of community engagement for the B2B world.

To our partners, our community, and everyone who's been a part of our story – thank you. This recognition belongs as much to you as it does to us. Here's to many more milestones, collaborations, and breakthroughs.

Bestway Cement now gets over a quarter of its plant power from solar

Bestway Cement now gets over a quarter of its plant power from solar

Bestway Cement's Chakwal plant in Pakistan now gets over a quarter of its electricity from 26 MW of solar and is adding 6.34 MW by year end, the Financial Times reports. Its general manager calls solar the only way to compete. Global solar capacity reached almost 1.2 TW at end-2025, per the Energy Institute. The case shows what solar can cover at one cement plant.

  • 01A cement plant producing over 3 million tonnes a year is covering more than a quarter of its electricity with 26 MW of its own solar, a rare public benchmark for self-generation in heavy industry.
  • 02Bestway's general manager frames solar as a competitive necessity because rivals have already gone in this direction, which shifts the question for energy-intensive plants from whether solar pays back to what a competitor's power bill looks like.
  • 03Global solar capacity of almost 1.2 TW is roughly three times the nuclear fleet on paper, but sunlight availability means output is a fraction of nameplate, so capacity numbers overstate delivered energy.

Shell is the first Gulf operator cleared to self-approve offshore drone flights

Shell is the first Gulf operator cleared to self-approve offshore drone flights

Shell has flown a drone-in-a-box system from its Mars floating production unit in the US Gulf, the Journal of Petroleum Technology reported on September 11, 2026. No other Gulf operator holds FAA approval to self-approve offshore beyond-visual-line-of-sight flights. Whether other operators can follow the same route is the open question.

  • 01A US Gulf operator now holds FAA approval to self-approve offshore beyond-visual-line-of-sight drone flights, which gives peers a concrete regulatory reference point instead of a hypothetical.
  • 02September's JPT coverage pairs field autonomy with caution: panelists at the SPE Subsea Well Intervention Symposium pressed engineers to judge for themselves where AI is useful and where risk remains.
  • 03The signal to watch is who becomes the second Gulf operator with the same approval, and whether the pathway Shell used is one others can follow.

Power and utility deals hit a record $205 billion in the first half of 2026

Power and utility deals hit a record $205 billion in the first half of 2026

Power and utilities M&A hit a record $205 billion across 92 deals in the first half of 2026, Deloitte reports. NextEra Energy's $124 billion Dominion Energy merger led the way. PwC says buyers are paying for gas, grid and dispatchable assets that add capacity faster than new builds. Who pays for grid upgrades is now the open question for data centers and large loads.

  • 01Two megadeals, NextEra Energy's $124 billion merger with Dominion Energy and the $48 billion AES take-private, drove Deloitte's record $205 billion first-half total, according to Deloitte, so the headline figure says more about the largest players than about the 92-deal field as a whole.
  • 02PwC says buyers now favor assets with contracted offtake or direct exposure to large-load customers, alongside those with clear cost recovery, which makes contracted cash flows and who pays for grid upgrades questions a data center or plant operator should raise at its next utility meeting.
  • 03Where a jurisdiction assigns large-load costs (directly to data centers, through general rates, or through new contractual models) is becoming a valuation input for acquirers, so the tariff dockets being drafted now will shape both the power bill and who owns the utility.
