For many Israelis entering tech, the hardest part isnā€™t the code.
Itā€™s the conversation.

As Yitzik Crombie of MeGo explains, for those who grew up without English TV shows, music, or movies, speaking English in a team meeting can feel like a bigger challenge than learning Python.

MeGo is helping bridge that divide, giving more ultra-Orthodox Israelis the tools and the voice to thrive in global tech.

How old tech became the eyes of autonomous cars.

Radar isnā€™t new. Itā€™s been around since World War II.
But what happens when you take that century-old idea and rebuild it for the autonomous era?

Kobi Marenko, CEO of Arbe, explains how their radar technology sends and receives millimeter waves to create a high-resolution map of the world around a vehicle - rain, fog, or shine.

Unlike cameras or lidar, radar never blinks.
It sees through the elements, giving vehicles a reliable sense of their environment in any condition.

When investors chase you, the meeting feels different.

As Nina Raab of Lionrun Consulting explains, the real power dynamic flips when funds compete to get into your round instead of the other way around.

But for most founders, it starts with one meeting, one data room, and one chance to stand out. And when that ā€œnoā€ comes, itā€™s not the end. Itā€™s your best chance to learn.

From beer tanks to biotech breakthroughs.

Insulin, a lifeline for millions, isnā€™t brewed in a factory; itā€™s grown in genetically engineered yeast and bacteria.

That same idea - turning living cells into mini-factories - is now powering a new generation of biomanufacturing in Israel.

Eran Miller of MNDL Bio explains how scientists are taking strands of DNA, inserting them into microbes, and producing valuable proteins that medicine once couldnā€™t reach.

What started with insulin could soon reshape how we make everything from food to pharmaceuticals.

Netanyahu Names AI Chief to Orchestrate Israelā€™s National Artificial Intelligence Strategy

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has appointed Brig.-Gen. (res.) Erez Askal as the first head of Israelā€™s National AI Directorate, a new body within the PMO tasked with turning Israel into a world leader in artificial intelligence.

The Directorate will drive a nationwide AI strategy - spanning innovation, regulation, research, and infrastructure - and promote cooperation across government and industry. It will also advance Israelā€™s supercomputing and energy infrastructure to support next-generation AI development.

Askal, who previously led the IDFā€™s elite Visual Intelligence Unit 9900 and the Digital Transformation Directorate, brings decades of experience at the intersection of defense, data, and technology.

The move signals a major step in Israelā€™s ambition to cement its place among the global AI powers.

When you join a startup, youā€™re not just writing code - youā€™re writing the companyā€™s DNA.

Fabrix CEO Raz Rotenberg says the early days are less about titles and more about showing up, building, deciding, and shaping. Every choice, every late night, every bit of energy you bring becomes part of what the company stands on.
