UST Spark

*Throwback to an Insightful Discussion* In September, as part of the ARC Innovation summit events, we had the privilege of hosting a fascinating fireside chat at our UST TLV office (UST Spark) in partnership with aMoon Fund. The discussion, led by Yaron Daniely, General Partner at aMoon, and Raj Gorla, UST's Global Head of Healthcare Provider, focused on Navigating provider challenges in the US and the transformative role of AI. Though this post is a bit delayed, the insights shared remain as relevant as ever, especially for startups targeting the US healthcare sector. A big thank you to Yaron, Raj, and everyone who made this session a success. Here's to fostering innovation and collaboration! #USTSpark, #Innovation, #aMoon
