Frayed ties between the US and China leaves the door open for other research alliances, such as with the UK, India, or Israel.

Last year, Google’s Care Studio inked a deal with major health system Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIMDC) to let clinicians try the tech giant’s clinical search tools.

Recent buyouts of competitors—including PayPal buying Curv in March and Coinbase snapping up Israel-based Unbound Security in November—may mean opportunities arise for a big-money takeover of Fireblocks as payments giants look to grow their crypto custody infrastructure.

Apple brought its mobile wallet to nine new markets in 2021—including Colombia, Israel, and Mexico—bringing its global footprint to nearly 60 countries and regions.

In April, Google teamed up with major health system Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) to let providers use the tech giant’s clinical search tool, Care Studio. Google’s tech provides clinicians with a central way to access patient records. BIDMC isn’t the first major health system to try out Google Studio.

Leading the charge is Israel-based Eviation, which recently announced a production version of its electric aircraft that it claims could seat nine passengers and two crew and fly with a range of 440 miles. Meanwhile, other firms like MagniX are focused on creating electric motors, which they hope can be used to convert smaller gas-powered planes to electric.

We also expect that Amazon will make moves internationally, having filed “Amazon Pharmacy” trademarks or patents in the following markets: Canada, the UK, Australia, Brazil, China, Egypt, the EU, India, Israel, Japan, Mexico, Singapore, Taiwan, Turkey, and the UAE. While that doesn’t indicate imminent moves, it does signal Amazon’s intention to scale its online pharmacy beyond US borders.
