"This is the future." Our portfolio company, Oncotest by Rhenium Group, has launched the Galleri test— the world’s first and only blood test capable of detecting 50 types of cancer early. This test marks a significant breakthrough in early detection, particularly for aggressive types of cancer that account for 70% of cancer deaths, as well as for cancers that currently have no screening tests and are typically discovered only at an advanced stage when symptoms appear. As Prof. Ido Wolf, Director of the Oncology Department at Ichilov hospital in Tel Aviv, Israel, explains: "What makes this test special is its ultra-sensitive technique, capable of detecting tiny fragments of DNA from cancer cells in the blood—an amount so small that, until just a few years ago, testing for it seemed impossible.” Designed for individuals at higher risk—such as those aged 50 and older or with a family history of cancer—early diagnosis can save lives, significantly improve survival rates, simplify treatment, and enhance patients' quality of life.

Got milk? Synergy’s got it— straight from the robot! Our portfolio company Afimilk Ltd, a leader in dairy farm automation, is revolutionizing the industry with the launch of Synergy—a breakthrough robotic solution for cow milking. "The market for milking robots generates almost two billion dollars and grows by 15% every year, and we want a piece of it," says Afimilk Ltd CEO, Yuval Rachmilevitz. Leveraging years of data from their successful solutions like smart collar sensors, Afimilk Ltd has developed an algorithm that precisely calculates each cow's food requirements for optimal milk yield, reducing manual labor by over two-thirds. “Improving efficiency in dairy farming not only boosts milk production but also significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions. A 10% increase in efficiency can save tens of tons of methane gas annually – equivalent to planting 17,000 trees every year for a decade,” adds Oren Drori, VP of Marketing & Product Management.
