Mediktor Acquires Sensely and Consolidates Its Position as a Leader in AI Healthcare Solutions

BARCELONA, Spain and SAN FRANCISCO, June 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mediktor, the leading digital healthcare company, has announced the acquisition of Sensely, a San Francisco–based digital healthcare provider that pioneered an empathy–driven conversational platform to support hospital systems and insurance services with world–class member engagement. This consolidation of two world–leading artificial intelligence–driven solutions providers marks a major medical technology milestone, extending Mediktor’s global presence to more than 35 countries and expanding its footprint in the United States.

The merger creates one of the largest global providers of AI–based solutions in the healthcare ecosystem. The new organisation will be driven by an enriched conversational healthcare platform to help increase efficiency and reduce costs through its complementary technologies, including the company's AI medical assistant. According to a recent survey of insurance customers, 54% of patients who used it were satisfied with the medical advice it provided and did not need additional services or follow–up from a physician.

“This acquisition is a transformative step for Mediktor, reinforcing our commitment to digital health innovation. By joining forces with Sensely, we will be able to offer a leading, best–in–class AI solution to multiple companies, ultimately improving access to healthcare for millions of people,” said Cristian Pascual, Chief Executive Officer of Mediktor.

As a result of the integration, Mediktor will acquire Mayo Clinic's educational healthcare content developed under a pre–existing agreement with Sensely. Mayo Clinic will also become a shareholder in the combined company and will have an observer seat on the board of directors.

MTIP, a leading Swiss–based growth equity firm and long–time partner of Mediktor, has reaffirmed its confidence in the company's vision and direction. As a member of Mediktor's Board of Directors, MTIP has communicated its unwavering financial and strategic support for the company's acquisition of Sensely and its overall growth strategy.

At the same time, Aliath Bioventures, a venture capital firm that has been supporting Mediktor since 2018, also played a significant role in facilitating this acquisition. Aliath remains deeply committed to supporting Mediktor’s strategic growth, strengthening its market leadership, and long–term success.

“Mediktor and Sensely represent the perfect synergy between AI–based symptom assessment and empathy–driven, patient–centric virtual assistance,” said Adam Odessky, co–founder and CEO of Sensely. “The combination of these two organisations provides customers with a strong, comprehensive suite of technology services that are proven to increase efficiency and reduce overhead costs for institutions, while delivering unparalleled personalised engagement services to patients and plan members. We're excited to share Mediktor's vision of becoming a leading player in an evolving and competitive digital healthcare environment.

Mediktor plans to integrate Sensely's current staff and management team into the new organisation, with Mr. Odessky taking on the role of Chief Product Officer, bringing his extensive experience and leadership to the team.

تحتفظ تركيا بتصنيف “الدولة الأكثر تعقيدًا في الشرق الأوسط من حيث ممارسة أنشطة الأعمال” للعام الثاني على التوالي في تقرير GBCI 2024

لندن،, June 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — أطلقت اليوم TMF Group، وهي المزوّد الرائدة للخدمات الإدارية والامتثال، النسخة الحادية عشرة من تقرير مؤشر تعقيد الأعمال العالمي Global Business Complexity Index (GBCI). يستند التقرير إلى 292 مؤشراً رئيساً للأعمال عبر 79 منطقة، ليقدم نظرة شاملة وعامة على التحديات المختلفة التي تواجه المستثمرين عند ممارسة أنشطة الأعمال حول العالم.

تتصدّر تركيا التصنيف العالمي في منطقة الشرق الأوسط باعتبارها الدولة الأكثر تعقيداً في المنطقة من حيث ممارسة أنشطة الأعمال، حيث تأتي في المرتبة 6 في المؤشر الذي يرتب دول العالم وفقاً لسهولة ممارسة الأعمال التجارية بها. وتشكّل التغييرات المتكررة التي تفرضها الدولة على قانون الضرائب وعملية تقديم الطلبات والمستندات المعقدة ومتطلبات رأس المال الجديدة الخاصة بقطاعات محددة، بعضاً من أبرز العوامل التي ترفع من مستوى التعقيد. على سبيل المثال، غالباً ما يتخلى أصحاب الشركات عن الاستفادة من الإعفاءات الحكومية من ضريبة القيمة المضافة بسبب الإجراءات البيروقراطية المعقدة المرتبطة بها.

وفي ما يتعلق بباقي المنطقة، طرحت مصر (التي تحتل المرتبة 28) نظام ’الرخصة الذهبية‘ لتقليل المتطلبات المختلفة للحصول على الموافقات واختصارها ضمن موافقة واحدة، في حين تحتل المملكة العربية السعودية المرتبة 37، وقد دخلت حديثاً إلى مؤشر GBCI هذا العام. هذا وقد تراجع تصنيف دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة من المرتبة 53 إلى المرتبة 40 في ترتيب هذا العام، إلا أنها لا تزال تشكّل أحد أهم وأبرز المراكز التجارية والسياحية والمالية في المنطقة.

وفي هذا السياق، قال Stewart Adams، رئيس شؤون السوق في منطقة الشرق الأوسط وإفريقيا في TMF Group:

“يتميز قطاع الأعمال في هذه المنطقة بكونه ديناميكياً للغاية وإيجابياً بشكل عام، حيث بدأنا نلمس تحوّلاً نحو التنوع الاقتصادي وزيادة الاستثمارات والعلاقات المتنامية بين مختلف المناطق. ومع ذلك، سيواصل المستثمرون مواجهة التحديات الناجمة عن عدم الاستقرار الجيوسياسي والحواجز التنظيمية، وهذا ما يعزز الحاجة إلى فهم بيئة الأعمال هذه بشكل دقيق.”

GBCI 2024: Turkey remains the most complex Middle Eastern country in which to do business for the second year running

LONDON, June 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TMF Group, a leading provider of compliance and administrative services, has today launched the 11th edition of the Global Business Complexity Index (GBCI). Based on 292 key business indicators across 79 jurisdictions, this report provides an overview of the challenges investors face when operating businesses around the world.

Within the Middle East, Turkey tops the rankings as the most complex country in the region in which to do business, coming in at 6th in the global standings. The country’s frequent tax law changes, elaborate document submission processes and new capital requirements for specific sectors contribute to its complexity level. Government VAT exemptions are also often left unutilised by business owners due to a complex bureaucratic process.

Across the rest of the region, Egypt (ranked 28th) has introduced golden licenses to reduce differing approval requirements., while Saudi Arabia, a new entry in this year’s GBCI, ranks at 37th. Meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has dropped from 53rd to 40th in this year’s standings, but remains a significant trading, tourism and financial hub within the region.

TMF Group’s Market Head of Middle East & Africa, Stewart Adams said:

“The business landscape in this particular region is quite dynamic and overall, positive. We are seeing economic diversification, increasing investments, and growing relations among the jurisdictions. However, there will still be challenges to be faced by investors due to geopolitical instability and regulatory barriers, so a nuanced understanding of this business environment is very much needed.”

Top and bottom ten (1= most complex, 79= least complex)

1 Greece 70 Jamaica
2 France 71 British Virgin Islands (BVI)
3 Colombia 72 Jersey
4 Mexico 73 United Kingdom
5 Bolivia 74 The Netherlands
6 Turkey 75 New Zealand

Surge in Foreign Interest in Chinese Investments: EBC Financial Group (UK) Ltd CEO David Barrett Shares Insights with Yi Cai

LONDON, June 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — David Barrett, CEO of EBC Financial Group (UK) Ltd, recently shared his insights on the burgeoning interest in Chinese investments during an in–depth interview with Yi Cai. Barrett explored the factors driving major investors toward Chinese markets and offered his outlook on the future of these investments.

Surge in Foreign Interest

In recent months, there has been a notable increase in foreign interest in Chinese stocks, driven by high–profile investors. Michael Burry, well–known for his predictions during 'The Big Short,' has significantly raised his investments in JD.com and Alibaba. Similarly, David Tepper's hedge fund has heavily invested in technology and Chinese markets. This growing interest is reflected in the performance of the Nasdaq Golden Dragon China Index, which surged by 14.86% from April 22 to May 3, achieving its largest two–week gain since January 2023. On May 16, the Index closed up by 2.49%, marking its highest level since September 2023.

Barrett attributes this renewed interest to the relative value Chinese markets offer. “Chinese indexes have struggled since the property–led bust in 2021, causing a significant dip in foreign direct investment and domestic confidence. However, this has led to extreme pricing discrepancies, making Chinese stocks an attractive option for value–focused investors,” Barrett explained. “Investors like Burry and Tepper are known for their strategic focus on high–concentration portfolios, and their significant investments in Chinese companies signal strong confidence in the potential upside of these markets.”

Future Prospects of Chinese Investments

Looking ahead, Barrett remains optimistic about the continued growth of Chinese markets. “There are several indicators suggesting that the Chinese government is taking effective measures to stimulate economic growth and restore market confidence,” Barrett noted. “Efforts to support vulnerable areas of the economy, encourage domestic investments, and stabilize the financial landscape are beginning to show positive results.”

He emphasized the crucial role of domestic policy in sustaining this growth. “Policies aimed at reducing property–related risks, supporting the semiconductor industry, and encouraging state–owned enterprises to strengthen their financial positions are essential. Additionally, initiatives to increase dividend payouts among Chinese companies are likely to attract more foreign investors seeking yield in a higher interest rate environment.”

Promising Sectors and Global Asset Allocation

Barrett highlighted the technology sector as a key area for investment within the A–share and Hong Kong stock markets. “Chinese tech companies are at the forefront of innovation, and with substantial government backing, they are well–positioned to navigate global challenges,” Barrett asserted. “For instance, if China faces headwinds in purchasing semiconductors, they have the capability to develop their own. Given the impressive profit margins seen in companies like NVIDIA, there is a strong incentive for Chinese firms to produce competitive, lower–cost chips. With significant government support and investment, the resilience and growth potential in this sector are considerable.”

He also identified the electric vehicle (EV) industry as a promising sector. “EVs as a topic has been grabbing a lot of column inches of late,” Barrett observed. “However, it's uncertain how well Western brands will perform in mainland China, and vice versa, how Chinese brands will fare in the global market. Despite these challenges, Chinese tech remains on the cutting edge, and any progress, especially amid geopolitical tensions, will likely bolster domestic investment. This increased focus on local innovation and development will enhance the industry's growth prospects.”

From a global perspective, Barrett advises a diversified asset allocation strategy, cautioning against overreliance on US stocks. “While US markets have experienced substantial growth, it is crucial to consider opportunities elsewhere, such as in China, where valuations are compelling,” he explained. “Given the recent run–up in US stocks, there is a need to be cautious and diversify. Commodities like gold remain attractive as a store of value and a hedge against economic and geopolitical uncertainties. As central banks continue to manage liquidity and interest rates, maintaining a balanced portfolio that includes undervalued international assets and tangible commodities could provide stability and growth potential.”
