The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) is evaluating a potential bid to acquire the Cyprus Stock Exchange (CSE), which is valued at 20-40 million euros. This move is part of Cyprus's privatization efforts for the unprofitable exchange. TASE sees the acquisition as a strategic opportunity to gain a foothold in the European market, aligning with its growth strategy.

Israeli Startup Phantom GI Raises $5 Million for Minimally Invasive Bowel Stoma Device

Israeli startup Phantom GI has raised $5 million to develop a device that creates a bowel stoma through a single puncture without surgery or general anesthesia. Founded by surgeons Eran Shlomovitz and Eliyahu Bechor, and CEO Ido Sadan, the company aims to provide a less invasive option for patients with bowel obstructions. The device is in preclinical trials, with human studies planned for early 2027 in Canada, followed by FDA approval efforts. This technology could significantly reduce treatment complexity and expand patient access.
