Once an arena for spectacle and celebrity, the global luxury event industry has quietly evolved into a marketplace of precision, strategy, and emotional capital. At the center of this transformation stands Maxim Berin, founder of Berin Iglesias Holding and creative force behind Arte Glacis (Articlesias) — a brand that has turned high-end cultural events into a new form of business intelligence.

Global Presence and Strategic Locations

Headquartered in Monaco, Berin Iglesias Holding operates 18 offices worldwide. Key locations include Forte dei Marmi, Porto Cervo, Monaco, Dubai, Capri, Courchevel, and St. Moritz — each chosen for its cultural resonance and network value. From private galas to international festivals, the company’s events merge art, gastronomy, and diplomacy in a single curated experience.

The Shift from Entertainment to Influence

Over the past decade, luxury events have shifted from entertainment to influence. Clients no longer measure success in guest numbers or red-carpet coverage — but in context, impact, and continuity. The so-called experience economy has become the fastest-growing segment of the global luxury market, driving nearly 40% of sector growth in 2025, according to industry analysts. Berin’s approach anticipated this shift years ago. Each Art Iglesias production functions as a micro-universe where music, gastronomy, and cultural storytelling merge into one narrative. Whether hosted in Monaco, Forte dei Marmi, Dubai, or Courchevel, the format remains consistent: curated intimacy, flawless logistics, and high emotional yield.

A Legacy of Reliability and Precision

In a field known for volatility, Berin Iglesias Holding has maintained an exceptional record: not a single major event cancellation in more than two decades of operations. Behind this success lies a disciplined structure of precision planning and long-term partnerships with Michelin-starred chefs, world-class artists, and cultural institutions. Berin’s flagship, the Big Art Festival, has featured legends such as Andrea Bocelli, Elton John, Robbie Williams, José Carreras, and Eros Ramazzotti — not as performers on mass stages, but as co-creators of an exclusive, story-driven experience for investors, patrons, and diplomats.

The Philosophy of Quiet Authority

“Luxury today isn’t about volume,” Berin says. “It’s about accuracy, trust, and coherence — the right moment, the right place, the right people.” That philosophy has turned the holding into a benchmark for reliability and made the brand synonymous with what analysts call quiet authority — influence earned through consistency rather than exposure.

Events as Strategic Assets

Luxury events are no longer viewed as entertainment expenses, but as strategic assets. A single well-executed gala can yield the reputational and relational returns of a marketing campaign or an international business summit. Berin’s model integrates these dimensions seamlessly — transforming each cultural experience into a long-term investment in visibility, partnership, and trust. In this sense, Art Iglesias represents a new generation of cultural enterprise: agile, cross-sector, and borderless. Its success lies not in size, but in significance — in creating experiences that endure long after the spotlight fades.

Conclusion: The Enduring Currency of Credibility

As the event industry continues to mature, the most valuable currency is no longer attention — it is credibility. Maxim Berin’s trajectory demonstrates that the true art of modern luxury lies in precision: knowing how to orchestrate people, time, and meaning with surgical accuracy. In a world saturated with noise, the brands that will lead the next decade are not those that shout the loudest, but those that curate silence with purpose. And in that quiet precision, Berin Iglesias Holding has found its enduring power.

As people search for better ways to manage their money and as global financial systems change, a new wave of AI-powered digital calculators is transforming how people plan, compute, and improve their finances. From income projections to refund forecasts, tools like the Pay Calculator, Tax Refund Calculator, and Salary Estimator are quietly but significantly changing how people view and manage their financial results. These innovations are redefining financial confidence worldwide among the digital generation. These tools are revolutionizing modern finance with precision, accessibility, and insight.

The Digital Shift: Empowering Individuals Through Intelligent Financial Tools

Global financial knowledge has dramatically increased over the last ten years. However, conventional spreadsheets and hand calculations no longer meet the needs of today’s flexible workforce. Whether it’s calculating gross pay, understanding deductions, or projecting post-tax income, digital calculators powered by artificial intelligence and real-time tax algorithms are bridging this gap by simplifying complex financial decisions. Pay Calculator and other tools help people see in a flash their overall income, tax obligations, and net income. It not only improves transparency but also helps professionals and companies make smarter financial decisions and negotiate salaries more effectively. By eliminating human error, these technologies are ushering in a new era of financial accuracy. They are reshaping how individuals interact with money in daily life.

Redefining Tax Planning: The Rise of Smarter Refund Insights

Traditionally, tax season has been a challenging period for both freelancers and employees, made even more complex by multiple tax brackets, deductions, and allowances. However, the introduction of automated tools, such as the Tax Refund Calculator, has simplified this process by quickly providing refund estimates based on income, expenses, and regional tax regulations. This innovation represents more than just convenience—it reflects a broader shift toward data-driven financial literacy. By enabling users to simulate various scenarios, including different income levels or job offers, such tools empower individuals to optimize their financial outcomes well before tax season begins, promoting a more proactive and intelligent approach to personal finance management. These advancements redefine how people plan, predict, and perfect their finances.

AI Meets Accuracy: How Automation Enhances Financial Confidence

Financial self-management has entered a new era with the integration of artificial intelligence into digital calculators. Unlike conventional fixed tools, AI-powered systems analyze regional tax rules, income variations, and dynamic deduction criteria to deliver real-time, location-specific accuracy. Tools such as Salary Calculator utilize this technology to provide comprehensive salary breakdowns that include post-tax take-home pay, pension contributions, and bonuses. This detailed insight enables professionals to set long-term financial goals—such as savings, investments, and debt repayment—while making informed career decisions. Moreover, automated calculators reduce reliance on external financial advisors for basic tasks, placing financial knowledge and control directly in the hands of the end user. It marks a turning point in modern financial empowerment and independence.

Trust and Transparency: Building a Smarter Financial Ecosystem

Modern consumers today demand not only speed and accuracy but also trust and transparency in financial tools. Platforms like Salary Calculator and Tax Refund Calculator meet these expectations by using open, verifiable algorithms that prioritize data security and compliance with privacy laws. Each calculation is backed by publicly accessible tax data and audited logic, ensuring reliability at every stage. This commitment to transparency reflects the financial sector’s growing emphasis on open data ecosystems. As regulators worldwide continue to strengthen data protection standards, responsible digital finance solutions are setting new benchmarks for user safety and accountability—paving the way for a more equitable and trustworthy financial landscape. Such innovations are shaping a safer, smarter, and more transparent economy.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Personalized Financial Automation

The rapid advancement of AI-powered financial tools signals the beginning of a broader transformation in personal finance. As automation and predictive analytics continue to evolve, calculators are set to become comprehensive personal finance dashboards, seamlessly integrating payroll data, tax regulations, investment forecasts, and spending analytics into one intelligent interface. Future versions of these tools will likely connect directly with banks, employers, and tax authorities to deliver real-time updates and personalized financial recommendations for every user. The ultimate goal is clear: to ensure that everyone—from entrepreneurs to employees—has equal access to financial knowledge and can make informed, confident decisions in an increasingly complex economic world. This evolution defines the next frontier of intelligent personal finance management.

Conclusion:

Pay Calculator, Tax Refund Calculator, and Salary Calculator—AI-driven calculators—are leading the way as the lines between technology and finance continue to blur, driving better, data-backed personal finance control. These systems let consumers confidently take control of their financial decisions by simplifying complex computations, improving transparency, and providing real-time financial insights. Such smart tools will be at the forefront of a financial system that emphasizes accuracy, inclusiveness, and trust as invention speeds up, thereby enabling people everywhere to make more informed economic decisions.

The global trading landscape is evolving faster than ever. Margin pressure, rising regulatory expectations, and the entry of new fintech players are transforming how CFD and securities brokers compete. Once-dominant firms now face a new reality where differentiation depends less on product variety and more on regulatory trust, technology, and transparency.

1- Regulation Has Become a Competitive Advantage

Over the past decade, regulatory tightening has reshaped the brokerage industry. From MiFID II in the EU to new ESMA leverage caps and disclosure rules, compliance is no longer just a legal requirement – it’s a market signal.

Clients increasingly choose brokers who demonstrate regulatory credibility and operate within recognized jurisdictions. Investors are more aware of licensing status, data protection standards, and fund-segregation requirements. In this environment, obtaining and maintaining proper authorization — whether under CySEC, FSC Mauritius, or Labuan FSA – can turn compliance from a cost into a competitive edge.

2- Technology Defines Client Experience

Today’s retail and professional traders expect institutional-grade execution and intuitive design. Platforms that integrate fast order routing, multi-asset access, and mobile UX are attracting a younger generation of investors.

Artificial intelligence is also reshaping risk management and client engagement. AI-driven tools can identify suspicious trading patterns, detect margin risk early, and personalize user education. For brokers, technology is not only about innovation but also operational efficiency and regulatory safety.

3- Expanding Across Jurisdictions – The Smart Way

Many brokers aim to reach new markets by acquiring offshore entities or licensing in secondary jurisdictions. However, shortcuts in regulatory expansion often lead to reputational damage or frozen bank relationships.

Instead, forward-looking firms build their cross-border presence through licensed, compliant structures with clear AML/CFT controls. This ensures seamless cooperation with payment providers and liquidity partners while satisfying the growing scrutiny from European and Asian regulators alike.

4- The Role of Strategic Advisory Firms

Navigating multi-jurisdictional licensing is complex. Requirements differ between financial centers, and regulators now demand detailed business plans, compliance manuals, and AML frameworks.

Professional regulatory consultants such as Zitadelle AG assist brokers in designing robust licensing strategies, preparing regulatory documentation, and communicating with authorities. With experience across Europe, the UAE, Mauritius, Labuan, and Vanuatu, Zitadelle AG helps fintech and brokerage firms align their business models with international best practices.

5- Building Long-Term Trust

Ultimately, the future of CFD and securities brokerage depends on trust and sustainability. Traders prefer institutions that combine transparency, fair execution, and consistent regulation. Firms that embrace compliance, invest in secure technology, and focus on client-centric innovation will remain resilient despite market volatility.

In summary:
The modern brokerage industry rewards those who adapt — not only through trading technology but also through governance and credibility. Partnering with experienced advisors like Zitadelle AG, a global regulatory licensing and compliance consultancy, can help firms secure licenses efficiently, manage AML obligations, and stay competitive in a post-MiFID and MiCA world.

Despite a cooling trend across many technology sectors, the investment environment for artificial intelligence and cybersecurity startups remains resilient in 2025. Industry reports indicate that investor confidence in these sectors continues to hold steady, reflecting growing demand for innovation in digital protection and intelligent automation.

For Glilot Capital, this aligns with what the firm is already seeing on the ground. “The climate for our focus on cyber and AI is very strong,” said Kobi Samboursky, one of Glilot Capital’s founding partners. “This year has been a record one for us, showing just how high the demand is.”

Co-founder Arik Kleinstein added that the market is maturing in ways that benefit investors who prioritize value creation over hype. “The noise of the market has quieted down, which means investors can now focus on real innovation and business fundamentals,” he said. “That’s where Glilot has always excelled: backing teams that combine vision with execution.”

Playing the Long Game

While some investors pursue quick wins, Glilot takes a patient, long-term approach. “Good investors always play the long game,” Samboursky said. “The potential today is huge. AI and cybersecurity are disrupting existing markets and creating entirely new ones, but that kind of transformation takes time.”

That philosophy has defined Glilot’s investment strategy since its founding. With 23 successful exits to date, the firm’s track record underscores the strength of its approach. “We’ve been able to prove that you can build big companies while also generating significant liquidity,” Samboursky added. “That balance allows us to think long term while still delivering strong DPI to our investors.”

Kleinstein agreed, noting that Glilot’s approach is built on trust and partnership. “Our job is not just to fund companies but to help them scale responsibly,” he said. “That’s how we achieve consistent outcomes and maintain alignment with our founders over the long term.”

$500 Million Fund Fuels Next Wave of AI and Cybersecurity Innovation

This long-term vision is being backed by significant new capital. In September 2025, Glilot Capital announced it had raised $500 million to accelerate investments in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. The new funds will be used to support early-stage startups as well as later-stage companies driving innovation in these high-growth sectors.

Standing Out in a Crowded Market

In Israel’s highly competitive deep-tech ecosystem, where AI and cybersecurity innovation are thriving, Glilot’s ability to deliver measurable results helps it stand apart. “Our ability to help portfolio companies is unique,” Samboursky said. “It’s attractive to great founders, which means we win twice by bringing in top talent and by delivering strong returns.”

Kleinstein added that Glilot’s operational involvement gives it a competitive edge. “We don’t just invest; we partner closely with our companies. Whether it’s strategy, hiring, or global expansion, we’re hands-on from day one,” he said.

Samboursky expects the venture capital landscape to evolve over the next few years. “We’re big believers in the specialization model,” he said. “Cybersecurity is a unique domain that requires focused expertise. But we also expect consolidation among larger, generalist funds as new, specialized teams emerge.”

New Frontiers for AI and Cybersecurity

As AI models grow more powerful, so do the risks associated with them. Samboursky sees immense potential across three core areas of opportunity. “We see huge opportunities across three super domains,” he explained. “First, protecting AI itself—the models, data, and tools. Second, using AI as part of cyber operations to counter AI-driven attacks. And third, AI-native companies that can replace older cyber incumbents.”

Kleinstein added that this evolution is reshaping how businesses think about defense. “Security is no longer just about protection; it’s about enabling innovation safely,” he said. “The companies that can strike that balance will lead the next wave of digital transformation.”

Business models are evolving just as rapidly as the technology itself. “The main model will likely remain B2B,” Samboursky said. “But the rise of AI agents opens new possibilities for usage-based or service-style models we haven’t seen before.”

Exit Outlook and Risk Strategy

Even amid slower IPO activity, Samboursky remains confident about the near-term exit environment for cybersecurity and AI startups. “One of the big advantages of cybersecurity investing is its relatively strong exit environment,” he said. “We’re seeing growing M&A activity not just from big cyber players but also from technology firms, service providers, and even mid-sized companies looking to strengthen their defenses.”

Glilot typically invests in around 12 AI and cybersecurity startups per fund, maintaining a focused yet diversified portfolio. “We’ve always believed in a relatively concentrated portfolio,” Samboursky said. “Twelve companies is a good balance, especially given our high hit rate and the returns we’ve achieved with this model.”

To mitigate the risk of technological obsolescence, Glilot backs teams with deep technical insight and adaptability. “We try to identify companies that are running the risk of becoming obsolete early,” Samboursky added. “If needed, we help them find another home before the risk becomes material.”

Kleinstein emphasized that Glilot’s proactive approach to risk is part of what keeps its performance consistent. “We don’t wait for problems to surface; we anticipate them,” he said. “That mindset is critical in fields that move as fast as AI and cybersecurity.”

What’s Ahead for AI

Samboursky believes that the convergence of AI and cybersecurity represents a transformation even greater than the cloud revolution. “AI has a bigger impact on our lives than cloud ever did,” he said. “Already, analysts are identifying multiple sub-domains for AI protection, and this is only the beginning.”

For Glilot, this is not just an investment cycle but the start of a decade-defining opportunity. “The depth and breadth of AI usage are growing so quickly that new attack surfaces appear almost daily,” Samboursky said. “That’s exactly where the biggest opportunities lie.”

Kleinstein agreed, framing this moment as one that will shape the future of digital security. “The next generation of cybersecurity companies will be born from AI itself,” he said. “It’s an incredible time to be building in this space.”

As the digital landscape evolves, Glilot is positioning itself at the intersection of innovation and resilience but also building companies designed not only to defend against tomorrow’s threats but also to define the future of digital security.

When sales teams chase intent signals, they’re usually digging through traffic logs, third-party panels, or content consumption data that hints at interest, but rarely offers clarity.

Onfire, a fledgling AI startup, is positioning itself as a watershed shift: rather than chasing proxies, it claims to deliver contextual, person-level intent by mining developer and technical user behavior in real time. If it works, this could be the first time a sales AI platform combines signal precision with narrative context. It’s not just “who clicked,” but “what trouble they are describing, in their own words.”

Why Context Has Always Been the Missing Piece

Intent data is a thriving industry. According to DataIntelo, the global “Contextual Intelligence Platforms” market reached about $4.7 billion in 2024, and is projected to skyrocket to $36.6 billion by 2033. This growth trajectory is a clear indicator of the increasing demand for more precise signals, faster, to sharpen outreach and shorten sales cycles.

Yet many organizations report that their intent data comes without sufficient context. A survey reveals that 35% of B2B marketers identify maintaining accuracy across multiple sources as their biggest challenge. Another 35% say the harder part is turning intent data into action. Meanwhile, the often-criticized drawbacks of intent tools include misinterpretation (mistaking curiosity for purchase intent), stale or outdated data, and weak matching to relevant roles or technologies.

Onfire’s Approach: Precision + Narrative

Onfire defines itself as an “AI-powered revenue intelligence platform that helps sales teams identify high-intent prospects by analyzing developer activity, detecting real-time buying signals, and enriching target accounts with the right decision-makers and technologies.” The key differentiator is combining what people are saying with who is saying it, along with what technologies it already uses. For example, this could mean posts in technical forums or developer communities.

Instead of issuing alerts when someone visits a whitepaper or researches a broad topic (which many intent tools do), Onfire captures signals like: “seeing memory leaks with framework X,” or “we need horizontal scaling support for architecture Y.” These are far richer than generic interest indicators.

That technical dimension of developer activity, technical signal matching, and decision-maker identity, is what turns raw intent into actionable, contextual intelligence.

The Challenge of Noise, Scale, and Signal Validation

Delivering on that promise, however, demands solving hard problems. To begin with, signal quality: developers discussing bugs, feature requests, or architecture are plentiful, but distinguishing noise (casual commentary, hypothetical discussion) from purchase-readiness is nontrivial. Effective resolution between these is vital.

Then there is source coverage: the breadth of forums, communities, tech stacks, languages, and frameworks to monitor. Gaps in coverage can produce blind spots or bias. According to intent data research, a lack of adequate signal coverage is one of the chief reasons companies struggle with existing solutions.

Also, timeliness matters. The data needs to be real-time (or close to it), and decision-maker enrichment must be accurate and up-to-date. Outdated profiles or mismatched roles diminish value quickly. Research shows that stale data and poor signal verification can degrade the ROI of intent programs.

Market Opportunity & Timing

The macro environment favors what Onfire is doing. With buyer journeys becoming increasingly complex, especially in technical enterprise B2B or developer tools, decision-making is often embedded in technical forums, open-source communities, issue trackers, or developer Q&A sites. Vendors who fail to account for those technical signals risk missing early indicators of interest.

Moreover, the contextual intelligence platforms market indicates that there is room for innovation. In parallel, the “context-aware computing” market (which includes predictive services and real-time analysis of context) is estimated to reach over $122.2 billion by 2030.

What’s New And What’s at Stake

Onfire is doing something rare: it takes real conversations (where people describe their technical problems in everyday language) and connects them to the right decision-makers and technologies. Instead of guessing what people care about, it understands their actual challenges, the words they use, and what’s at stake for them.

For sales teams, that means better timing, more fitting messaging, and potentially fewer wasted outreach cycles. It also promises stronger alignment with product teams, since the details of what issues people are wrestling with emerge more clearly.

More Than Signals, They’re Stories

OnFire isn’t riding the coattails of “intent” optics or noise-filled dashboards. By building an engine that listens for where technical problems are being discussed, what they are, by whom, and with what technology context, OnFire could mark a turning point in sales tech. The difference may be what separates wasted outreach from resonant, revenue-driving conversations.

For years, bookkeeping was a shoebox of receipts, those thick ledger books and manual data entry an onerous task that was often overlooked as less than unglamorous among companies. Yet the digital revolution has transformed this vital role beyond recognition. Bookkeeping today is not only about recording transactions of the past, but it has become a forward-thinking and always updating reflection of a company’s financial well-being. Questr was born out of this matured vision, and from the new generation technology tools which has become a reality; building together an integrated automated solution that allowed for achieving complete End to End Bookkeeping Management approach that is proactive, comprehensive and intelligent.

The Rise of Automation and Artificial Intelligence

The recent one that will change bookkeeping once and for all is automation, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The time is long gone with everything being manually typed. Current solutions leverage innovations like OCR and machine learning to automate the extraction of data from bank statements, bills, receipts, etc., tagging transactions with a high level of precision. Artificial intelligence and with AI, the more corrections you make, the more it learns and adapts to become better at getting things right. This automation significantly cuts down on manual data entry, which means a recording inaccuracy rate of close to 0%, and importantly frees up business owners and accountants to spend more time on analysis and strategy rather than number crunching. It is only the first step, but an important one for a fully integrated End to End Bookkeeping Management.

Real-Time Financial Visibility and Cloud Accessibility

Proliferation of cloud-based platforms has broken the traditional barriers of time and place. But instead of relying on desktop software that is married to a single computing device, cloud bookkeeping tools offer users real-time, anywhere access to their company’s financial information. Business owners are able to view their cash flow, outstanding invoices and profits anywhere, via any device connected to the internet. This real-time visibility is a game-changer when it comes to decision-making; instead of making decisions based on month-old reports, managers can now make evidence-based strategic decisions based on the company’s financial reality. This round-the-clock connectivity also serves to enable collaboration between a company and its outside accounting partners, with everyone working off a common set of information that’s always current.

Integration: Creating a Cohesive Financial Ecosystem

These days, accounting software doesn’t work in isolation. Their real power is realized from deep integrations with other business-enabling systems. They smoothly integrate with bank accounts and credit cards to automatically log transactions, point-of-sale (POS) systems to record sales effortlessly, payroll providers for ease in processing employee payments, and CRM systems for a full picture of customer financial interactions. This interconnectedness results in one source of truth for all financial information, no double data entry into multiple systems and consistency across the board. This integrated suite of apps is the foundation for an effective End to End Bookkeeping Management solution allowing data to flow seamlessly throughout the business process.

Enhanced Data Security and Disaster Recovery

Although many business owners worry about shifting financial numbers to the cloud, today’s bookkeeping services offer more security than most on-premises systems. Legitimate providers have invested thousands and thousands in enterprise-level security and bank-grade encryption, use secure socket layer (SSL) technology, multi-factor verification, as well as automated backups. That means financial data will be safe from local disasters such as fire or theft and political unrest, far safer than on paper records or a single hard drive. These strong security measures offer peace of mind by making sure a business’s most important asset its financial records, are safe to arrive and can be restored at any time.

From Historical Recording to Predictive Forecasting

The narrative of bookkeeping software has changed from Retroactive Historian to Shrewd Strategist. Secondary Info Systems that utilize the clean, well-organized, and complete data they gather can produce impactful analytics and visualizations which can be a lot more than simple posts, and you’ll be saved by reports from basic profit and loss statements. More advanced an analytics can track spending trends, measure KPIs and could even utilise historical data to forecast future cash flows. This predictive ability to see what’s coming around the corner is empowering for business owners, who not only can proactively address any challenges on the horizon but also can seize growth opportunities and invest with purpose. This shift from looking back to thinking ahead may be the most profound way technology is changing the game.

The Strategic Advantage of Professional Partnership
