Digest #281      

Thank you to Patrick Reilly, IP Society, for your partnership support!    
 
Ontera, Aeroasis, Murj? These are three new names in the local scene, although one is a rebrand rather than a new startup. In my role, it's one of my great pleasures to introduce you to local startups. Dig in and learn something new. 
 
As usual, scroll down and start reading!
