These are the descriptions of the presenting companies:

BioLight (TASE: BOLT) directly invests in, manages and commercializes biomedical innovations by focusing on groups, or 'clusters,' of technologies that explore different aspects of the same medical condition.  BioLight's two current clusters include ophthalmology, through its 100% owned subsidiary XL Vision; and cancer diagnostics via its 29% ownership of Micromedic (TASE:  MCTC). 

Bone Biologics was founded by University of California professors in collaboration with an Osaka University professor and a USC Surgeon in 2004.  Bone Biologics is a privately-held company with proprietary, patented technology that has been clinically proven in non-human primate models to facilitate bone growth. The company is currently focused on bone regeneration in spinal fusion using its recombinant human protein, known as UCB-1 (or Nell-1). UCB-1 is an osteoinductive orthobiologic: a recombinant protein that provides control over bone regeneration. This patent protected technology has been exclusively licensed to Bone Biologics from UCLA.

Advanced Bifurcation Systems (ABS) has developed a novel technology to enable effective stenting of coronary arteries at their branch points (bifurcations). Every year millions of patients around the world with heart disease present to doctors who find they are faced with either a PCI or CABG procedure.  A quarter of those requiring stenting will have bifurcation lesions, meaning a build-up of plaque that is blocking or about to block blood flow to the heart at a place where the blood vessel divides in two.  ABS was founded in late 2008 with the vision to facilitate the stenting of bifurcation disease so that its percutaneous treatment becomes the standard of care at bifurcated lesions.
