Israel’s Dynamic InsurTech Map
Insurance is a means of protection from financial loss. It is a form of risk management, primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent or uncertain loss. Technology is the sum of many techniques, skills, methods, and processes used in the production of goods or services or in the accomplishment of objectives, such as scientific investigation. The idea of the Dynamic InsurTech Map came about when The Digital Insurer (TDI) realised there was a lack of easily accessible information about InsurTechs – and a map without links is not a very useful map in a digital world! https://www.the-digital-insurer.com/dynamic-insurtech-maps/israel/

A "Smart Air" Device or Two for Every Classroom
Covid 19 is an invisible air-born battle that "Smart Air" manufacturers fight against with technology. Given the closing of schools and businesses, teleworking, and public fear of contracting infections in indoor spaces, in May 2020, Aura Air developed and tested a "smart air" device to purify indoor air of viral and other pathogenic particles. With a successful campaign, Aura Air is now targetting schools - 1 or 2 air purifiers for every classroom - depending on size - will give parents peace of mind that their child will be safe in schools.
