Brazilian SaaS startup Capim has secured $26.7 million in Series A funding to enhance its buy now, pay later (BNPL) services for dental care. Founded in 2021, the company aims to expand its offerings with a new POS terminal and AI-powered tools, while increasing its network of clinics from 6,000 to over 10,000 by year-end. Capim has already assisted over 60,000 Brazilians in accessing dental procedures and reported a tripling of revenue in 2024.
Deutsche Bank has appointed Arlene Schuchard as the new head of its Latin American private banking division in Switzerland. With over 20 years of banking experience across major cities, she will report to Marco Pagliara in Singapore and collaborate closely with the Latin America market leader, Pascal Landrove. Schuchard, who holds an MBA from INSEAD and is fluent in English, German, and Spanish, previously served as Managing Director at Credit Suisse.
Singapore is solidifying its position as Asia's leading cryptocurrency hub by issuing 13 Major Payment Institution licenses in 2024, a significant increase from four in 2023. This risk-adjusted regulatory framework attracts global firms and fosters innovation, outpacing Hong Kong's more restrictive policies. With 1,600 blockchain patents and a supportive ecosystem, Singapore is setting a benchmark for digital finance and blockchain technology in the region.
Switzerland has been ranked the most competitive economy in the world for the ninth consecutive year, according to the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report. The country excels in innovation, education, and a flexible labor market, while also demonstrating a strong capacity to absorb new technologies. As the importance of talent grows in the global economy, Switzerland leads in attracting talent, positioning itself well for future competitiveness.
