Target: Bloomberg L.P. Research date: 22 October 2026 Scope: Bloomberg L.P.; Bloomberg Tradebook LLC; BloombergNEF; Bloomberg Beta and associated venture funds; founder and controlling principal Michael R. Bloomberg; separately operated Bloomberg Philanthropies where relevant to controlling-principal attribution.

Supply Chain & Sourcing Relationships

Business activity and relevant commercial supply chain

BloombergNEF describes itself as part of Bloomberg L.P. and provides strategic research concerning energy, commodities, transport, industry, buildings and agriculture. This establishes a financial-information and research business relevant to the target’s supply-chain assessment.1

Direct Israeli agricultural suppliers

No public evidence identified of Bloomberg L.P. purchasing produce from Mehadrin, Hadiklaim, Galilee Export, Agrexco successors or other Israeli agricultural exporters.

Importer-of-record structure

No public evidence identified of a Bloomberg-controlled entity importing Israeli agricultural products into the United Kingdom, United States or another market.

Seasonal procurement

No public evidence identified of seasonal purchases of Israeli dates, citrus, avocados, potatoes, herbs or other agricultural products.

Third-party sourcing, distribution and white-label arrangements

No public evidence identified of Israeli-origin agricultural goods being procured by Bloomberg through intermediaries, distributors or private-label arrangements.

Financial-market infrastructure supplied to Israel

[pre-2020] On 13 July 2005, Globes reported that Bloomberg had been selected to supply the primary-market auction system for Israeli government shekel bonds. The named government counterparty was Israel’s Ministry of Finance. The system allowed participating dealers to enter bids through Bloomberg Professional terminals, automated allocation and distributed auction results. Globes reported that the service was available to Bloomberg users without an additional charge. Whether the arrangement continued after 2020 is unknown.2

Electronic-trading services

Bloomberg Professional Services publishes a Bloomberg Tradebook compliance page listing a General Permit from the Israel Securities Authority. The October 2026 archived page establishes a documented regulatory connection between Bloomberg’s electronic-trading operations and Israel, but does not disclose the value of transactions executed in Israel or identify Israeli government customers.3

FINRA’s BrokerCheck report identifies Bloomberg Tradebook LLC as a Delaware limited liability company with its main office at 731 Lexington Avenue, New York. The report records its formation date as 28 March 1996. It does not identify this entity as incorporated in Israel.4

Israeli commercial intermediaries and defence procurement

No public evidence identified of a named Israeli Bloomberg reseller supplying Bloomberg technology to the IDF, Israeli Ministry of Defence or settlement authorities.

No public evidence identified of a Bloomberg supplier agreement with an Israeli defence manufacturer.

Product Origin, Labeling & Regulatory Compliance

Country-of-origin requirements

No public evidence identified of Bloomberg importing, distributing or retailing settlement-origin agricultural products subject to country-of-origin labelling requirements.

Settlement-origin products

No public evidence identified of Bloomberg-branded goods produced in Israeli settlements or the occupied territories.

Regulatory findings

No public evidence identified of DEFRA, UK customs authorities or another regulator finding that Bloomberg mislabelled Israeli or settlement-origin products.

Corporate sourcing or labelling policy

No public evidence identified of a Bloomberg L.P. corporate policy specifically addressing the sourcing or labelling of agricultural products originating in Israeli settlements.

Financial-services regulatory position

Bloomberg Professional Services’ compliance materials list a General Permit from the Israel Securities Authority under Bloomberg Tradebook’s general documentation. The reviewed page does not specify a current transaction volume or an Israel-specific revenue amount.3

Territorial mapping and data classifications

No public evidence identified establishing that Bloomberg’s financial-data products use a particular official classification for Israeli settlements, East Jerusalem or the occupied Golan Heights.

No public evidence identified of an Israeli government directive requiring Bloomberg to change territorial classifications in its products.

Investment, Capital & Financial Exposure

Corporate ownership

UK Companies House registers Bloomberg L.P. as a United States limited partnership incorporated under Delaware law, registration number 2110234. Its UK overseas-entity registration is OE018811, registered on 27 January 2023. The correspondence address is 731 Lexington Avenue, New York.5

Companies House identifies Michael Rubens Bloomberg as an active beneficial owner with significant influence or control as a member of the firm. The register records a notification date of 9 December 1986 and confirms active beneficial-ownership statements dated 26 January 2026.6

On 28 July 2026, Semafor reported that Michael Bloomberg remained the majority shareholder and controlled Bloomberg L.P. The article cited an estimated ownership interest of approximately 88% and reported transfers of some personally held shares to Bloomberg Philanthropies. A Bloomberg spokesperson stated that Michael Bloomberg controlled the firm and had no plans to sell it. The estimated percentage is a reported figure rather than a directly audited ownership breakdown.7

Bloomberg Beta - financial backing and group attribution

Bloomberg Beta’s official investment manual identifies Bloomberg L.P. as its investor and describes the venture firm as financially backed by Bloomberg L.P. The manual describes five $75 million venture funds and a further $75 million opportunity fund, representing approximately $450 million under management. Bloomberg Beta states that it selects investments independently and invests for financial return.8

A Bloomberg L.P. corporate disclosure statement filed in litigation identifies Bloomberg Inc. as the firm’s general partner and states that Bloomberg L.P. has no parent. It identifies Bloomberg Beta L.P., Bloomberg Beta Management LLC, Bloomberg Beta 2016 L.P., Bloomberg Beta 2019 L.P., Bloomberg Beta 2022 L.P. and Bloomberg Beta Opportunities 2022 L.P., together with associated general-partner entities, among Bloomberg L.P.’s subsidiaries and affiliates.9

The Bloomberg Beta investment manual and Bloomberg L.P.’s corporate disclosure establish financial backing and a formal group relationship. Neither document supplies a transaction-by-transaction capital account or identifies the precise investment vehicle used for every portfolio financing.8, 9

Intuition Robotics - initial investment

[pre-2020] On 14 February 2017, Intuition Robotics announced financing involving iRobot and OurCrowd, bringing its total disclosed financing to $6 million across various instruments. The announcement identified Bloomberg Beta among the company’s original investors, alongside Terra Venture Partners, Maniv Mobility and other investors.10

[pre-2020] On 11 July 2017, Intuition Robotics announced a $14 million Series A round led by Toyota Research Institute. Bloomberg Beta was named among existing seed investors participating in the round.11

Bloomberg Beta’s published investment portfolio identifies Intuition Robotics among the original investments associated with its 2013 fund, which covered new investments from 2013 through 2016. This establishes the historical portfolio classification but does not identify the exact legal subscription entity for every subsequent financing.8

Intuition Robotics - February 2020 follow-on investment

On 13 February 2020, Intuition Robotics announced a $36 million Series B round co-led by SPARX Group and OurCrowd. The company named Bloomberg Beta among the additional investors participating in the round, alongside Toyota AI Ventures, Sompo Holdings, iRobot and others.12

The February 2020 announcement reported cumulative company funding of $58 million. This represents Intuition Robotics’ total financing at that date rather than the amount supplied by Bloomberg Beta.12

The identified 2017 and 2020 financing announcements do not disclose Bloomberg Beta’s individual contribution, equity percentage, share class or transaction-specific legal investment vehicle.10, 11, 12

No public evidence identified establishing the exact value of Bloomberg Beta’s Intuition Robotics holdings on 22 October 2026.

No public evidence identified establishing a completed sale or disposal of Bloomberg Beta’s Intuition Robotics investment.

No public evidence identified establishing the exact percentage of Intuition Robotics shares still held by Bloomberg Beta on 22 October 2026.

Intuition Robotics - Israeli operating footprint

[pre-2020] Intuition Robotics’ February and July 2017 financing announcements identified Ramat Gan, Israel, as the location from which the company issued its statements. The announcements described its development of social-companion technologies and cognitive robotics.10, 11

In February 2020, Intuition Robotics reported approximately 85 employees and offices in Israel, San Francisco and Greece. The company was developing digital-companion technology, including the ElliQ product and related cognitive AI systems.12

The 2020 disclosure establishes an Israeli operating presence at that date but does not separately quantify the Israeli workforce, Israeli R&D expenditure, corporate tax contributions or the current October 2026 operating footprint.12

No public evidence identified of Bloomberg Beta controlling Intuition Robotics’ Israeli operating business.

No public evidence identified of Intuition Robotics operating a production facility in a West Bank settlement, East Jerusalem settlement or the occupied Golan Heights.

No public evidence identified of a direct military procurement relationship arising from Bloomberg Beta’s Intuition Robotics investment.

Stampli - investment relationship

On 3 October 2023, Stampli announced a $61 million Series D financing led by funds managed by Blackstone, with participation from Insight Partners, SignalFire, Bloomberg Beta and NextWorld Capital. The company reported that the financing brought its cumulative capital raised to more than $148 million.13

Stampli’s own October 2023 company announcement independently identifies Bloomberg Beta among the existing investors participating in the Series D financing. The company described its AI-powered accounts-payable platform and reported more than 1,300 customers.14

CTech reported on 3 October 2023 that Stampli had been founded by Eyal and Ofer Feldman, operated from California and Tel Aviv, employed approximately 250 people and maintained its development centre in Tel Aviv.15

The 2023 announcements establish Bloomberg Beta’s participation in a financing round involving a business with documented Israeli software-development operations. They do not establish Bloomberg Beta’s individual dollar contribution or ownership percentage.13, 15

Stampli - continuing Israeli operations

On 3 February 2025, Calcalist published a company-profile article reporting that Stampli employed approximately 300 people, including about 80 at its Tel Aviv R&D centre. The article reported that the centre had been upgraded and expanded and that the company was recruiting for additional development positions.16

The February 2025 report establishes Israeli research and employment activity after the ICJ advisory opinion of 19 July 2024 and the ICC arrest warrants of November 2024. It does not identify Bloomberg Beta’s percentage ownership at that date.16

No public evidence identified establishing Bloomberg Beta’s precise October 2026 shareholding in Stampli.

No public evidence identified establishing Bloomberg Beta’s controlling ownership of Stampli or its Israeli operating entity.

No public evidence identified of a completed Bloomberg Beta disposal of its Stampli investment.

GONG! and Gong.io - identity verification

No public evidence identified establishing that a historical Bloomberg Beta portfolio reference to a company styled GONG!, described as a personalised news platform, refers to Gong.io, the revenue-intelligence software company.

No public evidence identified sufficient to attribute an investment in Gong.io to Bloomberg Beta through that historical GONG! reference.

Direct investment and acquired Israeli operating subsidiaries

No public evidence identified of Bloomberg L.P. acquiring an Israeli factory, manufacturing site, logistics centre, Israeli real-estate portfolio or controlling interest in an Israeli operating company.

No public evidence identified of an Israeli operating company acquired or controlled by Bloomberg L.P.

Bloomberg Beta’s documented minority venture-investment relationships with Intuition Robotics and Stampli do not establish acquisitions of those companies as wholly owned or controlled Bloomberg L.P. subsidiaries.10, 12, 13

Consequently, no acquisition date, acquisition purchase price, controlling ownership percentage or Israeli manufacturing-site details can be established for an acquired Bloomberg-controlled Israeli operating subsidiary.

Research and innovation activities

On 3 April 2022, Bloomberg Philanthropies and the Sagol Family announced the Bloomberg-Sagol Center for City Leadership at Tel Aviv University. The programme was designed to provide leadership development, executive education and institutional support to Israeli municipal governments. The initiative is attributed to Bloomberg Philanthropies and its partner rather than to a disclosed capital investment by Bloomberg L.P.17

Tel Aviv University’s associated US support organisation confirmed the launch on 4 April 2022 and identified Michael Bloomberg, university president Ariel Porat and Yossi Sagol in connection with the announcement.18

The centre’s own institutional description identifies three areas of activity: a mayoral leadership programme, a research centre and an innovation track. These activities establish an ongoing Israeli academic and municipal collaboration involving Bloomberg Philanthropies.19

Historical municipal funding

[pre-2020] Bloomberg Philanthropies announced on 15 December 2014 that Jerusalem and Tel Aviv-Yafo had been selected for its first international Innovation Teams grants. The commitment formed part of a wider $45 million programme, and the original grants were intended to fund municipal innovation capacity for up to three years. Continuation of these original grant agreements is unknown.20

Municipal innovation funding after October 2023

On 18 April 2024, the Jerusalem Post reported that Michael Bloomberg and Bloomberg Philanthropies were launching a regional municipal recovery initiative for Israeli cities affected by the war. The programme involved innovation hubs and assistance for local-government institutions.21

On 6 December 2024, eJewishPhilanthropy reported that Bloomberg Philanthropies had committed $27.8 million, approximately NIS 100 million, to support local-government capacity in 65 Israeli cities and towns. The report described the Bloomberg Philanthropies Regional Initiative as operational. It did not establish an equivalent investment by Bloomberg L.P. or identify payments to Israeli military organisations.22

Continuing investments in institutional programmes

Bloomberg Philanthropies’ annual programme materials describe continued leadership development for mayors in Israel, alongside related programmes in Africa, Europe and the United States. The material establishes that the Israeli initiative remains part of its international city-leadership programming.23

In January 2026, the Bloomberg-Sagol Center announced its third leadership cohort, comprising 20 Israeli mayors and 39 senior municipal officials. This provides evidence that the programme continued beyond 19 July 2024 and November 2024.24

Portfolio holdings

Bloomberg Beta’s identified investments include Intuition Robotics, an Israeli-operating robotics business, and Stampli, a financial-software company with substantial Israeli R&D operations. The investment relationships are supported by company financing announcements from 2017, 2020 and 2023.10, 11, 12, 13

No public evidence identified establishing the precise current equity interest, portfolio valuation or disposal status of these investments on 22 October 2026.

No public evidence identified of Bloomberg L.P. holding proprietary equity investments in Israeli defence companies, Israeli sovereign bonds, settlement-active companies or Israel-focused investment funds.

No public evidence identified establishing that Bloomberg Philanthropies’ charitable commitments were financed through a specified portfolio of Israeli securities.

Financing the Israeli state

[pre-2020] The 2005 Ministry of Finance relationship concerned the Bloomberg primary-market auction system used to conduct Israeli government shekel-bond auctions. The identified source does not establish that Bloomberg L.P. purchased the bonds, underwrote issuance, served as a lead arranger or received underwriting fees.2

No public evidence identified of Bloomberg L.P. underwriting Israeli sovereign debt, marketing Development Corporation for Israel bonds, financing Israeli defence manufacturers or providing settlement-related lending facilities.

Controlling-principal investments

Michael Bloomberg’s January 2020 campaign statement described longstanding philanthropic support for Israeli institutions, including the Magen David Adom emergency medical centre and Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem. The statement did not disclose commercial equity holdings in these institutions.25

A separate February 2020 campaign statement documented Bloomberg’s political support for Israel and opposition to the BDS movement. These were statements made in his personal capacity as a presidential candidate, rather than announcements of Bloomberg L.P. financial commitments.26

No public evidence identified of a quantified personal equity investment by Michael Bloomberg in a named Israeli defence, technology, agricultural or settlement-operating company.

Operational Presence & Market Activity

Israel-based news and information activities

No public evidence identified within the reviewed admissible sources sufficient to establish the current registered legal entity, precise office address or headcount of Bloomberg L.P.’s Israeli commercial operations.

Financial-services activity

Bloomberg Professional Services lists an Israeli securities-regulatory permit within its Bloomberg Tradebook documentation. This provides direct evidence of an Israeli regulatory connection for its electronic-trading services, although the page does not establish the number of active Israeli customers or local employees.3

[pre-2020] Bloomberg’s primary-market auction technology was selected in 2005 for Israeli government shekel-bond issuance. The original arrangement is documented, while its operating status in October 2026 is unknown.2

Israeli workforce

No public evidence identified establishing Bloomberg L.P.’s current Israeli employee count, employment costs or payroll-tax contribution.

Israeli employment supported by a Bloomberg Beta portfolio company

Intuition Robotics reported 85 employees across its offices in Israel, San Francisco and Greece in February 2020. The source does not allocate those employees among the three locations.12

A February 2025 Calcalist company-profile article reported approximately 80 employees at Stampli’s Tel Aviv R&D centre, within a total workforce of approximately 300. These employees worked for Stampli, a Bloomberg Beta portfolio investment, rather than an identified Bloomberg L.P. subsidiary.16

Commercial market position

No public evidence identified of Bloomberg publicly ranking Israel as a strategic growth market or publishing a separately quantified Israeli commercial revenue segment.

Municipal and academic presence through the controlling principal’s philanthropy

The Bloomberg-Sagol Center at Tel Aviv University describes itself as a programme for mayors and senior officials from Israeli municipalities. Its institutionally documented activities include training, applied research and an innovation programme.27

The centre reported the launch of its third cohort in 2026, with 20 mayors and 39 senior municipal leaders participating in an initial seminar in Herzliya. The opening event included Yossi Sagol and Bloomberg Philanthropies representative Fatima Shama.28

A Jerusalem Post report published in 2026 separately described the third cohort as involving 20 mayors and approximately 40 senior municipal officials and identified the Sagol Family and Bloomberg Philanthropies as institutional supporters.29

Governmental relationships

[pre-2020] Israel’s Ministry of Finance was identified as the customer for Bloomberg’s government-bond auction technology in July 2005. The record establishes a named historical government relationship without establishing the current contract value or duration.2

Bloomberg Philanthropies’ 2024 Regional Initiative involved providing support and expertise to Israeli municipal governments. The reported $27.8 million commitment concerned municipal recovery and governance capacity, rather than a disclosed Bloomberg L.P. commercial contract.22

Defence and military operations

No public evidence identified of Bloomberg L.P. maintaining an office on an Israeli military base, directly supplying an identified IDF system, operating a defence manufacturing facility or employing staff specifically under an Israeli defence contract.

No public evidence identified in the reviewed Intuition Robotics or Stampli investment announcements of an IDF procurement contract or direct Israeli military customer relationship arising from the investments.

Settlement presence

No public evidence identified of a Bloomberg L.P. office, branch, warehouse or operational facility in an Israeli settlement in the West Bank, East Jerusalem or the occupied Golan Heights.

No public evidence identified establishing that a municipality receiving Bloomberg Philanthropies funding under the programmes reviewed was an Israeli settlement authority.

No public evidence identified establishing that Intuition Robotics or Stampli operated facilities in an Israeli settlement during the evidenced investment periods.

Post-July and post-November 2024 continuity

The December 2024 report on Bloomberg Philanthropies’ $27.8 million Regional Initiative documents activity continuing after the ICJ advisory opinion of 19 July 2024 and after the ICC warrants issued in November 2024.22

The Bloomberg-Sagol Center’s documented 2026 cohort establishes further continuity of Israeli municipal-leadership programming after both dates.24

The February 2025 Calcalist report establishes continuing Israeli research and employment activity at Stampli after both dates. The available records do not establish whether Bloomberg Beta made an additional investment after November 2024.16

The latest reviewed primary financing announcement naming Bloomberg Beta as a Stampli investor dates to October 2023. It does not independently establish the size or status of Bloomberg Beta’s ownership interest in October 2026.13

Corporate Structure & Foundational Ties

Founding and incorporation

[pre-2020] Bloomberg L.P. was founded in the United States in 1981 by Michael Bloomberg and his associates. Current UK registration records identify the entity as a limited partnership governed by Delaware law, with its principal correspondence address in New York. Its founding relationship remains part of the continuing corporate structure.5

Bloomberg L.P.’s documented US registration and New York address provide no basis for classifying it as an Israeli-founded or Israeli-headquartered company.5

Beneficial control

Companies House identifies Michael Rubens Bloomberg, an American national, as exercising significant influence or control over Bloomberg L.P.6

Semafor’s July 2026 report corroborates his continuing majority ownership and control. The reported transfer of some personally held equity to Bloomberg Philanthropies did not establish a change in the firm’s controlling principal.7

Legal structure and Bloomberg Beta entities

Bloomberg L.P.’s corporate disclosure statement identifies Bloomberg Inc. as its general partner and lists Bloomberg Beta investment partnerships, their general-partner entities and Bloomberg Beta Management LLC among its subsidiaries and affiliates. The disclosure includes the 2016, 2019, 2022 and Opportunities 2022 investment entities.9

Bloomberg Beta’s investment manual identifies Bloomberg L.P. as its investor and states that Bloomberg Beta selects investments independently. This establishes a funded venture-investment relationship within the Bloomberg group.8

Subsidiaries and associated businesses

BloombergNEF describes itself as part of Bloomberg L.P., providing research on energy-transition technologies and commodity markets.1

Bloomberg Tradebook LLC is separately identifiable in FINRA’s BrokerCheck records as a Delaware limited liability company with its main office in New York.4

Bloomberg Beta’s Intuition Robotics and Stampli investments establish relationships with Israeli-operating technology companies. The reviewed announcements do not identify those portfolio companies as wholly owned or controlled Bloomberg L.P. subsidiaries.10, 12, 13

No public evidence identified that BloombergNEF or Bloomberg Tradebook LLC was founded in Israel or constituted an acquired Israeli manufacturing company.

Israeli-Nexus Floor: founding

No public evidence identified of Bloomberg L.P. being founded or originally incorporated in Israel.

Israeli-Nexus Floor: headquarters

No public evidence identified of Bloomberg L.P.’s headquarters or principal place of management being located in Israel.

Israeli-Nexus Floor: tax residence or preferential status

No public evidence identified that Bloomberg L.P. holds Israeli tax residence or Preferred Technology Enterprise status.

Israeli-Nexus Floor: beneficial ownership

The active UK beneficial-ownership register identifies Michael Bloomberg as the controlling natural person, and available records do not identify an Israeli controlling shareholder.6

Acquired Israeli operating identities

The reviewed financing announcements establish investment participation by Bloomberg Beta in Intuition Robotics and Stampli. They do not document an acquisition of control, merger into Bloomberg L.P. or transfer of either company’s operations into a Bloomberg-controlled subsidiary.10, 11, 12, 13

No public evidence identified of a Bloomberg L.P. controlling acquisition of an Israeli operating company.

Structural governance and state involvement

No public evidence identified of an Israeli government golden share, government-appointed Bloomberg L.P. director or charter provision requiring the company to advance Israeli state policy.

No public evidence identified of an Israeli state ownership stake in Bloomberg L.P.

Controlling-principal institutional relationships

In 2022, Bloomberg Philanthropies and the Sagol Family created an Israeli local-government leadership initiative housed at Tel Aviv University. University-affiliated material identifies Yossi Sagol as the relevant family representative and describes development of the programme beginning in 2018.18

The continuing Bloomberg-Sagol Center has an institutional relationship with Tel Aviv University and supports Israeli municipal leaders. It is distinct from a controlling Israeli equity investment in Bloomberg L.P.19

Public political and philanthropic positions

In January 2020, Michael Bloomberg’s presidential campaign described his past financial support for Israeli medical and civic institutions.25

In February 2020, the same campaign documented his opposition to the BDS movement and support for maintaining US assistance to Israel. The statement represents a personal political position from 2020, not an identified Bloomberg L.P. board resolution or corporate governance requirement.26

Profit Repatriation & Economic Contribution

Revenue attributable to Israel

No public evidence identified of Bloomberg L.P. separately disclosing Israeli customer revenue, EBITDA, operating profit or tax payments.

Commercial revenue flows

[pre-2020] Bloomberg’s selection as the Israeli Ministry of Finance’s auction-system provider established a historical financial-infrastructure service relationship. The contemporary report stated that the auction functionality was available to Bloomberg users without an additional charge, but did not disclose subscription revenue generated from Israeli customers. Current commercial continuation is unknown.2

Profit repatriation

Bloomberg L.P. is registered as a Delaware limited partnership with a New York correspondence address. Its US legal structure alone does not establish the amount or direction of profits remitted by any Israeli operations.5

No public evidence identified showing that Bloomberg L.P. remits global profits into an Israeli parent company or transfers a separately disclosed Israeli profit stream to a foreign parent.

Venture investment capital flows

Bloomberg Beta’s investment manual identifies Bloomberg L.P. as the venture firm’s financial backer and describes investment activity conducted through dedicated funds. The firm’s stated investment objective is financial return.8

Bloomberg Beta’s participation in the 2017 and 2020 Intuition Robotics financing rounds establishes a historical capital-investment relationship with a company maintaining operations in Israel.10, 11, 12

Bloomberg Beta’s participation in Stampli’s October 2023 financing establishes a capital-investment relationship with a company operating a Tel Aviv development centre.13, 15

The $14 million Intuition Robotics Series A, $36 million Intuition Robotics Series B and $61 million Stampli Series D figures represent total company financing rounds. The announcements do not disclose the portion of each round contributed by Bloomberg Beta.11, 12, 13

No public evidence identified establishing the precise portion of Bloomberg Beta investment capital ultimately spent on Israeli salaries, premises, research or taxation.

No public evidence identified establishing the value of distributions, realised profits or proceeds returned from these investments to Bloomberg Beta or Bloomberg L.P. by 22 October 2026.

Direct investment and acquired operating income

No public evidence identified of earnings distributions from a Bloomberg-controlled Israeli operating subsidiary.

Institutional funding through Bloomberg Philanthropies

[pre-2020] In December 2014, Bloomberg Philanthropies committed funding for innovation teams in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv-Yafo. These were municipal programme grants and were not disclosed as investments intended to produce commercial returns.20

In April 2022, Bloomberg Philanthropies and the Sagol Family launched the Bloomberg-Sagol Center at Tel Aviv University, creating an institutional channel for leadership training and applied municipal research in Israel.17

In December 2024, reporting identified a $27.8 million Bloomberg Philanthropies commitment supporting municipal recovery and capacity building across 65 Israeli cities and towns. This represents a disclosed philanthropic commitment associated with the controlling principal, rather than an identified Bloomberg L.P. commercial investment.22

Economic ecosystem role

The Bloomberg-Sagol Center describes its activities as strengthening municipal leadership, facilitating professional networks and supporting applied research for Israeli local government.27

The 2026 third cohort included 20 mayors and 39 senior municipal officials, demonstrating continuing programme operations and institutional reach within Israel’s municipal sector.28

Bloomberg Philanthropies’ wider annual-programme materials place the Israeli leadership initiative within its international work to strengthen municipal administration.23

Israeli technology-sector employment

Intuition Robotics reported a global workforce of 85 employees across Israel, San Francisco and Greece in February 2020. No country-by-country workforce distribution was supplied in that announcement.12

In February 2025, Calcalist reported that Stampli employed approximately 80 people at its Tel Aviv R&D centre and approximately 300 globally. The report described continued development recruitment in Israel.16

Quantified economic contribution

The December 2024 Regional Initiative reporting identified a $27.8 million commitment, approximately NIS 100 million, for Israeli municipal support. The reviewed source did not disclose a complete audited schedule of payments actually disbursed by October 2026.22

Bloomberg Beta’s documented participation in venture-financing rounds establishes historical investment activity, but the reviewed announcements do not quantify Bloomberg Beta’s individual capital contributions or the portion ultimately expended in Israel.10, 11, 12, 13

Israeli government revenue and taxation

No public evidence identified establishing annual Israeli taxes paid by Bloomberg L.P., public procurement expenditure on Bloomberg products after 2020 or the current value of Israeli government subscriptions.

No public evidence identified quantifying Israeli income taxes or payroll taxes arising specifically from Bloomberg Beta’s Intuition Robotics or Stampli investments.

Settlement-related economic contribution

No public evidence identified of Bloomberg L.P. receiving identifiable settlement-derived commercial revenues, holding settlement real estate or making a quantified direct investment in settlement enterprises.

No public evidence identified of a quantified Bloomberg Philanthropies payment to an identified Israeli settlement authority.

No public evidence identified establishing that Bloomberg Beta’s investments in Intuition Robotics or Stampli directly financed settlement construction, settlement businesses or settlement infrastructure.
