AXL teams with RSM Canada to build AI solutions for Canada's future
Article content TORONTO — AXL, a Canadian venture studio transforming world-class applied AI research into high-growth companies, and RSM Canada LLP ('RSM'), a leading global provider of assurance, tax and consulting services, have entered into a strategic collaboration. Together, the two organizations are driving innovation by challenging existing models and reimagining what's possible in professional services by integrating AI advancements with real-world business needs. Article content As part of the collaboration, RSM will serve as the exclusive provider of accounting, tax and consulting services to AXL, offering strategic guidance, compliance expertise, and growth planning support. Additionally, RSM will act as a preferred provider of these services to AXL's portfolio of startup companies. Article content RSM is also one of several leading Canadian organizations participating in AXL's AI Catalyst program, a corporate partnership initiative designed to validate and accelerate breakthrough ideas driven by real industry demand. The goal is to fast-track the commercialization of high-potential AI applications and ensure Canadian innovations are built into the country's economic future, rather than being exported before they scale. Article content 'Canada doesn't have an innovation gap, it has a commercialization gap,' says Dr. Daniel Wigdor, co-founder and CEO of AXL. 'With RSM, we're taking demand signals from the market and moving fast to turn that into scalable, enterprise-ready solutions. This is execution over hype. This is how Canada leads—not just in ideas, but in outcomes.' Article content Canada leads in AI academic research but struggles to retain its economic benefits, as much of its advancements are commercialized internationally. Article content Fewer than 20 per cent of mid-sized Canadian companies have begun adopting AI, according to the OECD, citing barriers such as limited technical talent, high costs and an uncertain return on investment. These findings are echoed in RSM's 2025 Middle Market AI Survey, which highlights similar challenges and underscores the need for practical, scalable AI solutions tailored to the middle market. Article content Meanwhile, nearly 75 per cent of AI patents from Canada's top institutes are acquired by international tech firms, with only 7 per cent remaining in the country. The United Nations also estimates that fewer than half of Canada's top AI innovations are ever patented, highlighting a critical disconnect between invention and impact. Article content By integrating real-time industry feedback, the AXL-RSM collaboration advances Canadian AI venture growth, commercialization and talent development, ensuring solutions scale domestically and drive lasting economic impact. Article content 'We're seeing incredible momentum around AI and the value it can unlock,' said Harry Blum, national managing partner at RSM Canada. 'With AXL as a strategic collaborator, we're accelerating innovation—helping businesses move beyond legacy models and positioning them to grow, compete and thrive in a future-ready economy, while embedding AI across our own solution sets.' Article content The relationship represents a direct commitment to Canada's AI ecosystem, powering homegrown innovation while reinforcing a shared commitment to helping Canadian businesses lead in the digital economy. RSM recently committed US$1 billion globally to AI, with a focus on helping middle market businesses adopt AI, especially those ready to innovate but lacking scale or resources. This initiative by RSM further aligns with AXL's vision of positioning Canada as a global leader in applied AI by bridging the gap between research and commercialization. Article content Together, AXL and RSM aim to unlock the next wave of AI-driven economic growth, bringing AI solutions that empower Canadian businesses and proving the benefit of AI not just in theory but in practice.

'Bond vigilantes' are taking aim at Japan market ahead of critical election
The bond vigilantes are sharpening their knives, and this time the target of the fixed income crusaders could be Japan. With a crucial election looming just days away that is set to determine the course of the fiscally troubled nation, a market storm is brewing. As rates hover around record levels for Japanese government bonds, the potential for not only turbulence in yields there but across the globe is gaining investors' attention. Bond yields move inversely to their prices. "We've got an election coming up in Japan where it looks like the upper house may be taken over by those who intend to increase federal spending," said Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist for tax consultancy RSM US. "It's an interesting confluence of events that will impact yields across the international economy." Indeed, Japan is serving as a bit of a global microcosm while it battles issues that are both common to developed nations and unique to a country struggling with pesky inflation, a rising debt load and an unsettled political climate. JP10Y 1Y mountain Japan 10-year bond yield over the past year The situation is even raising the possibility that "bond vigilantes" are on the horizon. The term refers to fixed income buyers who suddenly go on strike when they decide that the reward for a country's sovereign debt isn't worth the risk it requires. That such a dilemma could come to Japan was once unthinkable, as the central bank holds more than half the government's debt and yield-curve control was a staple of monetary policy. However, changing dynamics, including the aforementioned inflation and debt problems along with the uncertainty associated with President Donald Trump's tariffs , have altered the investing landscape substantially. Veteran investor Ed Yardeni coined the term "bond vigilantes" in the 1980s and sees the specter of similar fixed income trouble on the horizon. In a Yardeni Research note this week, the firm cited as one of several factors spelling trouble for the Japanese bond market "the high odds that the next Japanese government turns to tax cuts and increased spending in ways that trigger the Bond Vigilantes. This pivot could have a typically calm debt market sending turbulence around the globe." All market eyes will be on Sunday's election, which will serve as a referendum on Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and his coalition government. Japanese long bond yields at the 30- and 40-year maturities have risen nearly one percentage point apiece over the past year, so further turmoil could start to spread if conditions remain unstable. "It's a preview of coming attractions as the U.S. has to address competing demands for scarce federal dollars which typically result in increased government spending, higher interest rates, higher yields and higher inflation," said Brusuelas, the RSM economist. "This really is at the heart of the issues across advanced economies."

Russian Investor Attacked in Bali: Alleged Immigration Link
By Fery Fadly – Bali's senior journalists report for Hey Bali – Today In Bali Bali, Indonesia – July 16, 2025 A Russian national residing legally in Bali was reportedly assaulted and extorted by an armed group in Jimbaran late Wednesday night, triggering serious concerns about the safety of foreign investors in Indonesia. The incident, which allegedly involved impersonators of immigration officials and suspected Ukrainian nationals, has raised questions about data security and law enforcement integrity on the island. According to verified sources, the incident occurred around 11:00 PM local time at the private residence of the victim, identified by the initials RSM (42). RSM, a long-term legal resident and investor in Bali, was attacked by four individuals—two wearing uniforms resembling those of Indonesian immigration officers, and two others masked, believed to be Ukrainian nationals. The victim suffered significant physical injuries during the assault and was reportedly extorted for USD 150,000 (approximately IDR 2.4 billion). RSM later claimed that his personal and sensitive data may have been leaked or sold by elements within Indonesia's immigration system to the criminal syndicate involved. Kombes Pol Ariasandiy SIK The Bali Regional Police, via spokesman Kombes Pol Ariasandiy SIK, confirmed that a formal complaint has been received and a preliminary investigation is underway. Authorities have begun collecting witness statements and relevant evidence. As of this publication, no official response has been issued by the Immigration Office in Bali regarding the alleged involvement of internal personnel. The silence has amplified public calls for transparency and institutional accountability—particularly in light of rising global scrutiny on Indonesia's treatment of foreign nationals. The full version of this investigation — including digital nomad safety advice — is available on Hey Bali, a platform reporting on the realities behind the postcard. This is not the first reported case of violent crime targeting expatriates in Bali. In December 2024, Ukrainian national Igor Iermakov was abducted and extorted for crypto assets valued at IDR 3.2 billion. The case implicated suspects allegedly tied to Russian criminal networks. One of the main perpetrators, Khasan Askhabov, was apprehended at Ngurah Rai International Airport in January 2025 while attempting to flee the country. Together, these cases point to a concerning trend of transnational crimes aimed at expatriate communities—particularly investors and individuals involved in digital finance. The added possibility of collusion with domestic officials deepens the reputational risk for Indonesia's legal and immigration systems. As Indonesia continues to position Bali as a leading destination for global tourism and foreign investment, incidents like these threaten to undermine investor confidence in the rule of law and personal safety on the island. Legal experts and civil society groups are urging a full-scale investigation—not only into the criminal actors involved but also into systemic vulnerabilities within immigration and law enforcement institutions. Foreign embassies are also closely monitoring the case, which may influence diplomatic relations and tourism advisories. This incident serves as a clear warning signal to Indonesian authorities to reevaluate oversight mechanisms, improve institutional transparency, and enforce robust safeguards for all residents—both local and foreign. An internal source close to the victim summarized the gravity of the situation: 'This isn't just about one foreigner being attacked. It's about the integrity of a nation's promise to protect those who live and invest within its borders.' ✍️ Reporting by Fery Fadly ✒️ Written and Edited by Giostanovlatto TIME BUSINESS NEWS
