The Bermuda Business Development Agency (BDA) Leads Economic Growth as EIRC Initiative Surpasses $500 Million Milestone

Bermuda Business Development Agency

October 10, 2024 – The Bermuda Business Development Agency (BDA) is pleased to announce that the Economic Investment Residential Certificate (EIRC) initiative has surpassed $500 million in investments. This milestone reinforces Bermuda’s position as a premier destination for global investors, showcasing the EIRC’s pivotal role in driving sustained economic growth while enhancing the island’s appeal to high-net-worth individuals seeking both exceptional investments and an unmatched island lifestyle. Since its launch in 2021, The BDA has successfully provided concierge services for all EIRC applicants, guiding them through each phase of the process and ensuring a smooth, seamless experience. This tailored approach has been instrumental in driving economic growth, attracting affluent investors from around the world, including the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Spain. With a minimum investment of $2.5 million, participants gain permanent residency in Bermuda and the flexibility to invest in real estate, new and existing local businesses, Government bonds (previously offered), or social causes. To date, 58 approved applications have driven substantial capital into local enterprises and the property market. The EIRC does however offer more than financial benefits; many certificate holders are drawn to Bermuda because of personal connections, whether through birth, marriage, or long-standing relationships with the island. As a result, these stakeholders are not solely investing capital—they have become part of Bermuda’s community. Data shows that nearly half of a country’s economic growth typically originates from individuals already embedded in the community, and Bermuda is no different. By becoming part of the island’s fabric, these stakeholders unlock even greater opportunities for investment and growth, driving Bermuda’s continued economic success. The Honourable Jason Hayward, Minister of Economy and Labour, commented on the programme's success: "The EIRC initiative has proven to be a vital tool for stimulating economic development in Bermuda. By attracting high-net-worth individuals who are not only investing but also establishing Bermuda as their home, we are creating long-term opportunities for the island. Surpassing the $500 million mark is a significant achievement, and we are confident that the BDA and EIRC programme will continue to contribute positively to Bermuda’s economic growth." Kyle Rogers, Research and Intelligence Manager at the BDA, is also responsible for overseeing the concierge service that supports applicants throughout the entire EIRC process. He ensures seamless management of the certificates, providing crucial guidance from initial inquiry, through comprehensive candidate evaluation, to final approval. He stated, "Reaching $500 million is a testament to Bermuda’s unique offering as both a business hub and an exceptional place to live. The EIRC initiative continues to generate significant value by attracting capital and new residents who are committed to the island’s long-term success. We are excited about the programme’s growth and the bright future ahead." Of the total $500 million investment, $212 million has been directed towards new businesses, $231 million into real estate, $49 million into existing local enterprises, $2.6 million into Government bonds, and $6 million into social ventures deemed beneficial to Bermuda and subject to the Minister’s approval. Jonathan Halata, a developer, investor, and successful EIRC applicant, shared his experience: "As Canadians and Brits, my family has been connected to Bermuda since the 1970s. The EIRC wasn’t just about investing money; it was about building a life for my husband and daughter, and contributing to the community my family has become part of." "My investment in Bermuda extends far beyond financial returns—it's about contributing to the development of premier assets like hotels and tourism infrastructure. Island Realty projects like Azura and Nautilus have brought something unique to Bermuda and created dozens of jobs, which are vital for both airlift and the livelihoods of Bermudians. "I see a direct link between the EIRC programme and Bermuda’s future growth. It’s not just about selling homes—it’s about creating lasting opportunities. Multiplying our experience by 10, 50, or 100 could generate significant new jobs for Bermudians." "The EIRC certificate process was much easier than I expected, especially knowing the complexities with immigration and work permits. The BDA’s white-glove service, with Kyle’s personal attention to detail, made a tremendous difference. They delivered exactly what was promised, with a ribbon on top."

MedCognetics Introduces the First Embedded AI Cancer Detection System for Mammography Imaging

MedCognetics

MedCognetics, Inc., a company focusing on medical imaging AI, today announced the successful testing and implementation of the first embedded AI image processing and cancer detection system for mammography. The system utilizes the NVIDIA IGX Orin TM medical-grade edge AI platform alongside MedCognetics’ advanced AI-enabled software, CogNet AI-MT, which was developed in collaboration with clinical leaders worldwide. CogNet AI-MT has been trained on a diverse global dataset to enhance the performance of radiologists and help improve patient outcomes worldwide. Incorporating MedCognetics’ new system would allow for AI-driven image enhancement and cancer detection to occur in real-time within the mammography device itself. The embedded solution eliminates latency, delivering immediate, high-quality image analysis, a significant improvement over traditional setups that require external workstations or cloud-based processing. This approach is poised to improve patient outcomes through faster results, enhanced image quality and reduced hardware costs. “Embedding our CogNet AI-MT software directly into mammography imaging equipment means we can enhance image quality and provide immediate cancer detection without the need for costly hardware upgrades,” said Debasish “Ron” Nag, CEO of MedCognetics. “Using the NVIDIA IGX platform, we’re advancing medical imaging technology, making high-quality diagnostic tools more accessible to radiologists and imaging centers around the world.” The NVIDIA IGX Orin platform combines enterprise-level hardware, software, and support. It is purpose-built for industrial and medical edge computing. The platform delivers the performance, durability, security, and safety required for advanced AI applications and features programmable safety extensions, commercial OS support, and powerful AI software. These capabilities, equip organizations to confidently deploy AI safely and securely for enhanced human and machine collaboration. The embedded AI system developed by MedCognetics offers several key benefits: On-Premises Device: Rapid, complete analysis right in the radiology workflow. Enhanced Image Quality: AI-driven enhancements improve the clarity and detail of images without requiring high-end, expensive hardware. Immediate Results: Processing occurs within the device, providing instant analysis and reducing the wait time for results. Cost Efficiency: Medical device manufacturers can achieve high-end image quality at a fraction of the cost by utilizing AI rather than upgrading hardware. Workflow Optimization: Enables worklist prioritization and clinic-determined workflow optimization, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of radiologists and imaging centers. Easy Upgrades and Maintenance: Software-based solutions are easier to update and maintain, helping to ensure that medical imaging equipment remains cutting-edge without frequent hardware replacements. Earlier this year, MedCognetics was awarded a groundbreaking patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its inclusive, unbiased medical imaging AI technology in mammography. Its expertise in embedded engineering, combined with the NVIDIA IGX platform, is poised to significantly advance medical imaging technology. This work underscores the importance of integrating AI into medical devices to enhance diagnostic capabilities and patient care.

Edit Suits Co. Introduces New Service to Help Men Build Flexible Business Casual Wardrobes

Rev Up Marketers

As more companies shift towards business casual dress codes, Edit Suits Co. is pleased to announce the launch of a new style advisory service. This service aims to assist men in creating versatile wardrobes suitable for both formal and business casual occasions. With the decline of formal dress codes, the traditional suit is no longer a daily necessity. However, this has introduced a new challenge for men: finding coordinated and stylish combinations of jackets, trousers, and shirts. To address this, Edit Suits Co. has developed a service focused on three key principles to ensure every wardrobe remains adaptable and fashionable: Choose Softer Jacket Fits: To achieve a wardrobe that transitions effortlessly from formal to casual, opt for softer fits with soft shoulders and construction. Structured jackets are typically reserved for formal wear, while softer styles work well in both formal and casual settings. Select Textured Fabrics: Fabric selection is crucial when wearing separates. Worsted wool, commonly used for formal suits, may seem out of place when worn as separates. Instead, textured fabrics such as high-twist wool, hopsack, linen, flannel, or brushed cotton are ideal for creating versatile and intentional separates. Opt for Versatile Colours: When building a flexible wardrobe, stick to timeless colours such as blues, greys, browns, and greens. Midnight blue jackets, charcoal trousers, and light beige separates can be easily mixed and matched, ensuring a sharp appearance for any occasion. To experience the new style advisory service and create a personalised, versatile wardrobe, visit one of the Edit Suits Co. showrooms in London, Birmingham, Manchester, or Leeds. About Edit Suits Co.: Edit Suits Co. is a leading provider of custom menswear that specialises in crafting bespoke wardrobes, versatile custom suits, jackets, trousers, and shirts. Their experienced team work closely with each client to create a wardrobe that combines style and confidence in every setting.
