Connecting the sun and the soil
Israel’s agRE.tech is developing an AI-powered robotic system for solar farms that incorporate agricultural farms. The robots perform precise spraying, pruning, autonomous picking, and more, alongside automatic control and maintenance of the solar fields.
Empowering the deaf to use the phone
Israeli-founded Nagish allows the deaf to talk on the phone. The solution uses AI to enable real-time transcription, adjustment of the text display to the user's needs, and an intuitive interface. There are about one billion hearing impaired people worldwide.
Accident prevention software unveiled
Israel’s CorrActions (see previously) has developed AI software that determines a driver’s cognitive state – sleepy, inebriated or simply distracted. Its Driver NeuroMonitoring (brain analysis) System integrates with motion sensors in the steering wheel, seats etc.
Lasers to stop hair loss
Israel’s Lumenis (see previously) has launched FoLix – its FDA-approved breakthrough laser system designed to combat hair loss. FoLix’s unique technology delivers precise pulses of laser that leverage the body’s natural processes to stimulate hair follicles.
Enhanced cowpea approved
Israel’s BetterSeeds (see previously) has received US Department of Agriculture approval for PeaMAX - its gene-improved cowpea. The new high-protein, hardy variety has a shorter growing season and is easier to harvest. Ideal for summer cultivation by soybean farmers.
Post-grad course in green energy
The Hebrew University of Jerusalem is launching a new master’s program focused on green energy technology. It will incorporate eco-friendly materials, creating green energy production devices, and tackling challenges in energy storage and management.
Combating mosquitoes
Israel’s Hebrew University is developing a natural mosquito repellent; it is also using genetics to make sterile male mosquitoes; Haifa University is working to synthesize fish microbiota for use as a mosquito repellent; meanwhile Israel’s Senecio (sterile males, see previously) is partnering with Rentokil.
Groundbreaking polymer for 3D printing
Israel’s Nexa3D (see previously) has launched Xyon, a groundbreaking carbon-fiber filled plastic 3D printing filament. Xyon is versatile, durable, high performing, and cost-effective, designed for numerous 3D printing applications.
The best speech to text
Israel’s aiOla (see previously) won the “Best Speech to Text Solution” award at the annual AI Breakthrough Awards. aiOla’s Natural Language Processing and Automatic Speech Recognition accurately interprets complex jargon, acronyms and accents in 100 languages, regardless of background noise.
Turning wastewater into protein
Israel’s Fabumin (see previously) purifies the wastewater discharged from the vegetable processing industry, extracting the “mud” to make “aquafaba” – an egg substitute. Clean water and “no-chicken” eggs.
