TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, April 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- One promising Israeli startup will have the chance to win a $1 million investment, as Axis Tel Aviv 2025 teams up with Silicon Valley-based Pegasus Tech Ventures to host the regional competition for the prestigious Startup World Cup. The selected company will represent Israel at the global Grand Finale in San Francisco in October 2025.The pitch competition for Israeli startups will take place during the 12th annual Axis Tel Aviv conference, set for May 22, 2025, at the Peres Center for Peace and Innovation in Tel Aviv. The event is supported by key international partners including Fox Rothschild, IE University, NRW.Global Business, and media partner Zecomms.
In addition to this competition, Axis Tel Aviv will feature another high-profile pitch session, where 15 selected Israeli startups will present their innovations directly to a curated audience of international investors, offering significant opportunities for funding and strategic partnerships.
Over the past decade, Axis Tel Aviv has earned a reputation as one of the most effective platforms for connecting startups with global investors. Since its inception, startups pitching at the conference have collectively raised over $1 billion, with 14 successful exits.

Commemorating Three Decades of ERA Environmental Software Solutions
MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA, April 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- It was Thursday, April 27th, 1995, when Sarah Sajedi and Gary Vegh officially cofounded ERA Environmental Consulting, Inc. (now branded as ERA Environmental Software Solutions). What began as a bold idea 30 years ago has since steadily grown into one of North America’s most respected EHS software providers, whose web-based, multi-modular solution for environmental and H&S compliance is trusted by Fortune 500 companies and SMEs alike.The first version of the software was built in North Carolina alongside NCSU’s School of Engineering. There being no widespread Internet access at the time, it consisted of a desktop application called REGMET (for Regulatory Material Emissions Tracking) that generated Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) and Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP) emissions reports locally. Companies in the wood furniture, kitchen cabinet, and wood building industries were its primary users.After an initial period of success, Sarah and Gary decided to move the company to Montreal, the home of their alma mater (Concordia University). They raised $5 million for the construction of new offices and a server room that allowed them to provide their own hosting services, shortly after which they migrated the desktop application to a more accessible web-based software, becoming pioneers in the use of VB.NET in the process. This foundation in place, ERA began to offer Health and Safety compliance assistance, starting with Incidents Management, and to build its Master Chemical List (MCL), which supports its regulatory-driven modules, such as SDS Management and SDS Authoring. It was also around this time that the company acquired the first of many automotive clients: Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada.The following years would see ERA undergo various changes to its services. Among the most impactful were the adoption of a third-party, cloud-hosted, never-versioned, multitenant Software as a Service (SaaS) model and the release of the dynamic platform for process management. These two developments, undertaken in the first half of the 2010s, opened the door to bigger and more specialized modules. While ERA had a solid foundation in environmental management and reporting, the new infrastructure led to the inception of the Tanks emissions tracking, Sustainability, and Compliance modules (to name a few), as well as closer business ties with industry leaders and consultants, culminating in two ERA-hosted Ingenuity at Work conferences (held in Montreal).A vital component of ERA’s track record of innovation is its commitment to research and development. For example, the company’s partnership with Concordia University (and, more recently, with the University of Waterloo) is now entering its seventh year and has given rise to four AI-driven projects that expand the frontiers of regression testing, unit testing, anomaly detection, and performance regression identification at the industrial level. ERA is utilizing these innovations in artificial intelligence to better serve its clients. Both Sarah and Gary are also actively involved in advancing the electric vehicle (EV) and lithium-ion battery industries in Quebec through their PhD research, which includes the pursuit of a sustainable NMC cathode supply chain in North America.Presently, ERA has grown into an ERP software that handles all kinds of regulatory reporting, including TRI, NPRI, Tier II, NEI, Biennial Hazardous Waste, and OSHA reports. Its clients range from Fortune 100 companies to small and medium businesses that benefit from ERA’s fair pricing strategy, made possible by ERA’s unique multitenant software architecture that keeps development costs affordable. For a full presentation of ERA’s automotive backbone and its diverse client base across 30+ industries, please read last year’s anniversary article.As ERA enters its fourth decade, it looks forward to exciting advancements in environmental management and compliance, corporate sustainability, artificial intelligence, and circular EV and EV battery manufacturing.

Rząd zapowiada nową strategię wspierającą polski kapitał. Rodzimym firmom przyda się promocja ze strony instytucji państwowych
Premier Donald Tusk podczas otwarcia wiosennej odsłony Europejskiego Forum Nowych Idei zapowiedział nową politykę gospodarczą, opartą na odbudowie i repolonizacji krajowej gospodarki. Przy wyborze wykonawców w państwowych inwestycjach mają być promowane polskie firmy, a zadaniem administracji ma być dbanie o interes narodowy. – Wydaje mi się, że powinniśmy jednak przede wszystkim patrzeć na to, kto i jak skutecznie będzie wspierał polskie firmy, inwestycje, bo to jest to, czego potrzebujemy – ocenia dr Henryka Bochniarz, przewodnicząca Rady Głównej Konfederacji Lewiatan.
Niepewność gospodarcza rosnącym zagrożeniem dla firm. Sytuację pogarszają zawirowania w światowym handlu
Duża zmiana w organizacji pracy w firmach. Elastyczność wśród najważniejszych oczekiwań pracowników
Sztuczna inteligencja napędza innowacje, ale pochłania ogromne ilości prądu. Rośnie potrzeba bardziej energooszczędnych rozwiązań
Obciążenia regulacyjne uderzają w branżę nowych technologii i start-upy. To może hamować innowacje
Polskie firmy przemysłowe zwiększyły konkurencyjność. Pomogły inwestycje w maszyny i wyższa sprzedaż

Członek RPP spodziewa się obniżki stóp procentowych już w maju, może nawet o 50 pb. Potem dyskusja o kolejnej obniżce możliwa w lipcu
Nie najlepsze dane z gospodarki w I kwartale roku oraz inflacja o połowę niższa niż w chwili ostatniej obniżki stóp – to zdaniem Ludwika Koteckiego, członka RPP, wystarczająco mocne powody przemawiające za cięciem kosztu pieniądza już na majowym posiedzeniu. W grze może być nawet 50 punktów bazowych na początek, a do końca roku dwa razy tyle. Podwyższona niepewność w globalnej gospodarce spowodowana polityką administracji w Waszyngtonie to dodatkowy czynnik, który powinien wesprzeć decyzję o poluzowaniu polityki pieniężnej.

Trwają prace nad nową ustawą o Rzeczniku MŚP. Urząd zyska nowe kompetencje
Zgodnie z procedowaną ustawą Rzecznik Małych i Średnich Przedsiębiorców stanie się Rzecznikiem Praw Przedsiębiorców i zyska nowe uprawnienia. Wśród nich najważniejsze to możliwość reprezentowania wszystkich przedsiębiorstw, niezależnie od ich wielkości, i rolników, a także inicjatywa ustawodawcza. Ustawą w kolejnych tygodniach ma się zająć rząd.
