Venemergencia Group has been consolidating a network of strategic alliances with prominent national organizations and institutions, and recently with Peace Winds Japan, to offer comprehensive relief to those most in need following the earthquakes that occurred on June 24. This collaboration aims to maximize response capacity, medical care, and support for affected citizens.

This united effort allows us to combine expertise, human talent, and technical resources under a single front of action. The alliances are integrated as follows:

Strengthening the Health Response

“To expand our operational capacity on the ground, we have integrated efforts with high-level medical and academic institutions”:

• Kummis ULA: Medical students from the University of Los Andes are joining our brigades to provide joint care to those affected.
• COESBICOP: An organization linked to the School of Medicine at the University of Carabobo, whose members are joining our ranks as specialized volunteers.
• Clínica Santiago de León in Caracas: In a show of institutional solidarity, the clinic has provided an ambulance and a multidisciplinary health team (medical and nursing staff) to reinforce our work on site.

Psychological support and well-being

Understanding that emergencies also require specialized emotional support, we have established the following partnerships to assist those affected:

• Psicodata (UCAB): In partnership with the psychological support service of the Andrés Bello Catholic University, we provide psychological support through our platform, assisting victims and their families during this vulnerable time.
• Banco del Libro: Aware of the emotional impact, we have joined this renowned institution to implement a support program through storytelling. This initiative aims to provide educational and engaging tools to help children process trauma and find emotional relief amidst the situation.

Efficient and constant support

Emergency response requires an efficient and constant support network. We appreciate the collaboration of key partners who facilitate the operational capacity and well-being of communities and volunteers:

• Lloyd Aviation: Operational partner for the implementation of helicopter rescues in the most affected areas.
• Lloyd Aviation: Operational partner for the implementation of helicopter rescues in the most affected areas. • Cestaticket and Yummy: Key partners for personnel mobilization and logistical support.
• Trailstart – AWS: A strategic partner providing technological solutions for real-time data management, vital for decision-making at the Command Center.

Joining forces with Peace Winds Japan to expand assistance

This strategic alliance, coordinated with the Venezuelan-Japanese Chamber of Commerce, combines technical and humanitarian capabilities to offer comprehensive medical care, diagnostic services, and psychological support to the residents of La Guaira following the recent seismic events.

This cooperation network reaffirms our commitment to the country and demonstrates that, by working as a team, our capacity to respond to any adversity is strengthened.

Bancamiga, one of the most dynamic and innovative financial institutions in the Venezuelan banking system, celebrates its 19th anniversary this Thursday. These nearly two decades have been marked by profound processes of change and growth, all guided by the same purpose: to offer the country innovative products and services that meet the needs of Venezuelans.

“Reaching 19 years with 1,221,000 clients is a direct result of a strategy focused on offering services designed to boost the financial growth of children, teenagers, and adults, as well as entrepreneurs, merchants, and business owners, regardless of their location. This strategy achieved $26.963 billion in transaction volume in 2025,” stated José Simón Elarba, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bancamiga.

Since its inception, Bancamiga has been a tireless advocate for financial inclusion. Its portfolio has set the standard in the market with solutions that are now commonplace for millions, such as Interbank Mobile Payments, foreign currency account management, and the introduction of contactless point-of-sale terminals, according to a statement from the bank.

One of its flagship products, the Bancamiga Mastercard Debit Card, has transformed the consumer experience by allowing payments in both bolivars and foreign currency, while also facilitating access to streaming platforms and international e-commerce purchases. This offering is complemented by Bancamiga Suite, a mobile application that has evolved to offer practical, functional, and, above all, secure operation through tools such as the Virtual Lock and ID Check.

The value of human capital and trust

For José Simón Elarba, the success of these 19 years lies in the synergy between customer trust and the dedication of a team of 1,351 people, 73 % of whom are women, all committed daily to providing solutions that improve the quality of life for society.

Following this strategy, Bancamiga has installed more than 203,000 modern point-of-sale terminals, which, in addition to providing the basic transaction function, allow users to pay and top up phone and TV services, validate lottery tickets, and play the lottery. This has made Bancamiga the second bank in the financial system with the largest presence of terminals in the national market.

These POS terminals, developed in partnership with Soluciones Integrales Tecnológicas (SITCA), are wireless, Global Band compatible, and feature Wi-Fi, a touchscreen, and allow for electronic, secure, and immediate cashback payments to customers.

There are already 51 Bancamiga branches

In a challenging digital environment, security is the cornerstone of Bancamiga’s innovation. After four years of rigorous work, the institution became the first bank in Venezuela to obtain PCI DSS certification version 4.0, the most demanding global standard for payment card data protection.

This certification confirms that Bancamiga’s processes comply with the strictest international security standards, guaranteeing confidentiality and professionalism in the handling of its users’ sensitive data.

As part of its expansion, Bancamiga opened its 51st branch this year in San Felipe, Yaracuy state, adding another physical service point to its network, which also includes nine non-bank correspondents, one affiliated branch (Viva Supercentro Hypermarket), three external branches (Plumrose, Corpoelec Maracaibo, and the José Antonio Páez University in San Diego, Carabobo state), and the Bancamiga Mobile unit, which in almost three years of operation has traveled more than 40,000 kilometers and is a key element in expanding banking services and reaching a wider audience.

In these 19 years, Bancamiga has not only grown as a bank but has also forged a deep bond with Venezuela through its unwavering commitment to sustainable development. Their Corporate Social Responsibility programs have focused on health, education, the environment, and culture, with training as the driving force behind positive and lasting change in our communities. In 2025 alone, Bancamiga supported 4,061 entrepreneurs with training programs that opened doors for them and transformed their dreams into realities.

“But our true engine of growth has been our human talent, a committed team full of passion for Venezuela. That is, without a doubt, the heart behind our achievements, transforming challenges into opportunities,” concluded José Simón Elarba.

A team of economic and oil experts has developed a proposal to rescue the Venezuelan economy, according to economist Gustavo García, former professor at the Institute of Advanced Studies in Administration (IESA) and former official at the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The expert spoke about the initiative during the discussion “Oil Fiscal Policy and Growth for Venezuela,” held virtually by the Ideas for Venezuela Group, led by engineer Elías Matta.

The project’s main objective is “the revitalization of the oil sector by attracting private investment and implementing profound tax reform. A team of economic and oil experts has developed the project.”

“This achievement, combined with average economic growth of 10 % annually for 15 years, would allow the nation to recover its 2013 GDP level,” García stated, adding that the oil sector will be the driving force behind this growth, emphasizing “competitive advantages such as low extraction costs and an existing infrastructure that only requires repair and modernization.”

According to the economist, the goal is to achieve a production of 4 million barrels per day within 10 years. To achieve this, it is necessary to open the sector to 100 % private investment, “eliminating the mandatory partnership with PDVSA. Incentives such as accelerated depreciation and amortization are proposed as key tools for early investment recovery in a high-risk environment,” García emphasized.

On the other hand, he argued that the State should prioritize investment in human capital, “delegating operational recovery and investment in the oil sector to global private capital.”

This rescue plan for the Venezuelan economy will lay the foundation for sustained growth, the massive creation of formal employment, and the return of Venezuelan talent.

The goal is to publicly present the plan in the coming months after reaching a consensus.

The business climate in Germany’s digital startups has improved markedly and returned to the 2019 level, reported consulting firm PWC and the German Start-up Association in Berlin.

These results are reflected in the number of employees, which currently stands at an average of 18 per company, four more than a year ago. According to the report, the firms also want to hire more staff than before.

The data collected indicates that the proportion of women is also growing, although at just under 18 % it continues to be very low. More than a fifth, it means 22 %, of the founders of these startups have foreign origins.

“The study shows that our startup ecosystem is on the right track in terms of growth and diversity,” said the association’s executive director, Franziska Teubert.

“In view of international competition, things have to move much faster in both areas,” she said.

The new digital companies consider that their main obstacles are, in addition to the search for talent, obtaining capital and access to data.
