A box, to save lives
For this measuring device cardio scale received from Israel the first prize
A small box of Israeli Startups cardio scale, could save many lives, landed at number one. You strap it around like a blood pressure device. It measures five different values of blood pressure, pulse, number of Breaths per Minute, oxygen levels and carbon dioxide levels in the body.
“With a developed algorithm, we can say in advance whether someone will soon fall into a state of shock,” explains the company’s founder, Maoz Ben-Ari.
So you bypass a body’s own mechanism to compensate for certain measurement values such as blood pressure for some time, and so, for example, in the case of a terrorist attack, internal bleeding could hide. Only shortly before the collapse of the real condition of the patient, but then it was often too late.
The idea had almost ten years ago, the doctor Uri Gabbay, Ben-Aris father-in-law, and electrical engineering from Ben-Zion Bobrovsky. However, in 2012 the two wanted to let the project fall because they couldn’t market it simply.
Ben-Ari stopped them. The business man that had sold for ten years, diamonds, founded a Startup and made a contract with the Israeli army. In the elite unit he had served in his twenties as a General. Since then, Ben-Ari is the face of the company and do not regret the career change.
To make “this project is incredibly difficult. There is a constant need to convince people of our ideas and try to get new funds,” he says. “But the opportunity to save a life, is better than money and everything else. It’s worth getting up in the morning.”
The three founders have so far invested around a Million dollars in the company and hope to write in two years, first in the black.

Wind power and solar energy for the Green Pack of Inergys from Limoges, there were the third prize
The Green Pack is so small – a little higher than five meters – that could be him up there, where not a conventional wind turbine for the right fit. And the combination of Solar and wind energy complementary. “At night there is no sun, but often the Wind”, so Lamidieu.
Inergys already has six customers, including large companies such as energy giant Engie (formerly GDF Suez) and the telecommunications provider Orange. A further 30 could follow. So far, Lamidieu can 1.7 Million Euro to collect. But he need, once again, about two million, he says: “We have reduced our production costs by a third, but we need to halve again.” Thus, the company could be in two to three years to be profitable.

Five years ago, in the first edition, there were only 50. “It’s just great that more and more people join in,” says Pinchas Goldschmidt, CER President and chief Rabbi of Moscow. “Our winners help, the price is often a breakthrough to do more Good.”
The three price want to the carrier immediately. Cardio scale is to be financed with the money of the measuring devices for paramedics for rescue services in France and Israel. Munevo wants to donate the premium to more than a dozen glasses of paralyzed children at Alyn hospital in Jerusalem, Israel. And Inergys pins a Green Pack to a village in a developing country. The company is currently in search of a non-governmental organization that could provide it.
