Israel Active

Cyber Week at Tel Aviv University is internationally acclaimed as one of the top cybersecurity events in the world, with 9,000+ attendees from more than 80 countries. South California organizations wishing to participate or join a delegation, should contact asap.

Mobileye announced that its autonomous vehicles are on track to launch in Israel and Germany later this year. the company released a 40-minute video showing its Robotaxi driving around Jerusalem at night.

Israel’s Pentaxi is developing an electrical vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicle. Available in cargo and 4-passenger models, they will be able to carry up to 880lbs for nearly 200 miles at around 150 mph. It has 5 engines (hence Pentaxi) for safety purposes.

Israel’s ART AI has developed an interface that allows users to create art, in seconds. It uses a "text-to-art" generator that uses AI to create new designs based on the users' texts. ART AI’s algorithms produce unique otherworldly images that are sold and printed only once.

Israel’s Enervibe develops and produces lithium-free kinetic energy harvesters that convert movement into electrical energy. Its innovative, environmentally friendly technology can power wireless sensors and IoT devices in many industries, e.g., automotive, electronics and wearables.

Omer Zur, founder of Israel’s Paratrek (see previously) has developed the Trekker, so that his wheelchair-bound father can enjoy hiking. The slogan of the Paratrek is “Where there’s a wheel, there’s a way.”

Israel’s Sency uses AI, computer vision, and mobile technologies to target ways to “improve human body conditions.” Sency’s tech gets to know the person by tracking and charting his or her movements in real-time. The tracking is done via the use of a smartphone camera.

Israel’s Sonovia (see previously), manufacturer of Coronavirus-killing facemasks, is diversifying. It is partnering Italian denim manufacturer PureDenim to develop an eco-friendly reduced energy, water, and chemical manufacturing dyeing process to transform the outdated, polluting, indigo dyeing industry.

Hebrew University of Jerusalem scientists studying nanomaterials just 100 atoms thick, discovered that they retain magnetism only some 10 nanometers from their edge. The discovery could lead to the development of low energy, high functioning nano-electronic devices.

Scientists at Israel’s Ariel University have invented a new solar storm forecasting method, dubbed the Convolutional Neural Network. It combines AI deep learning of past radiation bursts with X-ray measurements from Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) satellites.
