SpaceX and Elon Musk are seeking to solve the impending AI data storage bottleneck problem by launching up to a million solar-powered satellites. They will be well-served to contact Lior Bar-Shalom of Arbell Energy LTD, whose revolutionary technology doubles the efficiency of current solar energy capture. Just this past week, Arbell - a recent graduate of CREATION-SPACE's Expand accelerator - won the Audience Choice Award at Israel Space Forum's IL Space Pitch 2026 in Tel Aviv. #solarenergy #Israelitech #startupnation #accesstospace #spacetech #ai #spacex #energyefficiency https://lnkd.in/eZJkaYC5

Impressive progress from our portfolio Array Labs with a $20m Series A to scale radar manufacturing and prepare for launch. Designing radar systems for mass manufacturing, borrowing from consumer electronics and telecoms, is a powerful unlock for cost, speed, and deployment at scale. The traction speaks for itself: nine-figure contracted revenue, multiple government awards, and expanding product lines. Exciting to see this next phase of execution begin.

Ceto announces a $4.8M USD seed round led by Dynamo Ventures with participation from Howden Ventures, Signal Ventures , Motion Ventures, and Chaucer Group.  "Maritime has long relied on reactive maintenance practices with planned maintenance systems (PMS) only really gaining in popularity from around the 17th Century although those systems looked very different to the PMS we’re used to seeing on modern day ships. Either way prevention is the first logical step however it was difficult to do this without having an idea on what information was important. Fast forward to modern day shipping and we have amassed a huge volume of operational data and there lies the key to transition the industry from those ancient reactive practices to the predictive solutions offered by Ceto today."
