Amid ongoing conflict, this year’s event was a powerful reminder of Israeli resilience and global connection. With support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Israel, we welcomed guests from 12 countries who joined us for the conference and a 3-day innovation tour across the country to experience Israeli innovation firsthand.

A huge thanks to our star MC, Yoel Israel with IsraelTech, and our generous sponsors Fox Rothschild LLP, NRW.Global Business Israel, IE University, and DLA Piper.

With their support, we hosted four themed sessions — ⚙️ Industry 4.0, 🛡️ Dual Use, 🤖 AI, and 🌱 Sustainability — plus the Israel Qualifier in partnership with Pegasus Tech Ventures.

🎉 Big congrats to Intuition Robotics, who will represent Israel in California this fall for the $1M prize!

And a huge shoutout to our incredible presenting startups, brilliant panelists and moderators, and international attendees — you made this year unforgettable.

Finally, thank you to our amazing team - Ed Frank, Darina Khanina, Eric Laufer, Talia Reynolds, and Samuel Suss - without whom this event wouldn't have been possible.

🇮🇱 See you in 2026!
