Nexus International’s expansion history is a study in pace, not haste. While many iGaming operators spread resources thin across multiple geographies in pursuit of rapid market share, Nexus’s approach under Gurhan Kiziloz has been deliberately selective. The company’s $546 million in H1 2025 revenue was not the result of launching in every possible market, but of doubling down on the regions that have consistently delivered strong returns. This philosophy has kept operational strain low and decision-making cycles short. Rather than pursuing several large-scale market entries at once, Nexus initiates one expansion project at a time, ensuring that infrastructure, compliance, and…
In an era of increasing political polarization, few figures have demonstrated the ability to build bridges across ideological divides quite like Adam Milstein. The Israeli-American philanthropist, born in Haifa in 1952, has spent over two decades creating unlikely alliances between conservatives and progressives, Christians and Jews, and Americans and Israelis—all united around shared concerns about antisemitism and threats to democratic values. The Pragmatic Foundation Milstein’s approach to coalition building emerged from his unique biographical position. As an Israeli who became an American citizen he understood both societies intimately. His military service during the Yom Kippur War of 1973, when he…

Deep in rural Mozambique, the partnership between the university and Gorongosa National…
Nexus International’s rise into the global Top 100 iGaming companies in 2025 is more than a story of rapid growth. It is a case study in how precise revenue concentration can dictate infrastructure and market decisions. With $546 million in H1 2025 revenue, the company’s performance reflects more than a broad-based push across dozens of jurisdictions. Instead, its growth has been driven by outsized returns from a select group of high-performing markets, with Latin America, and particularly Brazil, standing out as a core revenue engine. This density of earnings in specific geographies has shaped Nexus’s operational map. Rather than adopting…
Droughts are among the most devastating natural disasters on Earth. They arrive slowly but have long-lasting consequences for agriculture, water supply, energy production, and ecosystems. Often stretching over months or even years, droughts quietly drain resources and economies, leaving communities vulnerable and in search of sustainable solutions. As climate change intensifies weather extremes, the need for accurate and timely drought monitoring has never been more urgent. Droughts Monitoring with Satellite Data In recent decades, satellite data has transformed the way we detect and monitor droughts. Traditional ground-based methods often lack coverage and consistency, especially in remote or politically unstable areas.…
