The "Top 100 Drone Defense Companies in 2025," by Defense Post" website includes eight from Israel (second in the world after the US). Elbit Systems ranked in fifth place, further reinforcing Israel's role as a leading player in the international arena on drone technology.

Israel’s Carbyne (see previously) has joined with AT&T to launch APEX Continuity, a solution to keep 9-1-1 emergency call handling operational during network disruptions, cyberattack, or evacuation. APEX reroutes calls to continuity backup support facilities.

Israel’s Beamr Imaging (see previously) has developed high-performance, high-quality video compression. It is specifically designed for autonomous cars which produce terabytes of video data daily. Beamr’s Content-Adaptive Bitrate (CABR) technology reduces sizes up to 50%.

Israel’s Weavy (see previously) has launched a new AI-powered platform for image and video editing. NVIDIA, Wix, Taboola, eToro, etc., use Weavy’s browser-based workspace to integrate traditional editing tools with AI models, such as OpenAI, Runway, and Kling.

Israel’s ai.work provides companies with autonomous AI workers designed for internal operations - IT, HR, Procurement, Legal and beyond. These digital teammates automate all regular tasks across an enterprise, enforcing policies etc., but escalate to humans where necessary.

The AI-driven financial planning platform from Israel’s Quinn gives financial companies the ability to service more clients. Its military grade machine learning embeds directly into systems of banks, brokerages, and fintech platforms, generating detailed, self-checked, financial plans in seconds.

Hirundo is building a “machine unlearning” system, designed to surgically remove unwanted data and behaviors from already-trained AI models. These include hallucinations, plausible-sounding but wrong outputs, plus embedded biases and adversarial vulnerabilities.

HP has selected the 10H AI accelerator from Israel’s Hailo (see previously) to power its all-new HP AI Accelerator M.2 Card which will be the basis for HP’s next generation point-of-sale solutions. It brings high-performance AI directly to the point of transaction and interaction.

Tel Aviv University researchers have developed a genetic editing method suitable for crop plants, enabling them to influence a wide range of traits in tomatoes. It can help develop new plant varieties with improved resistance to drought and disease, better taste, and more nutrients.

Mor Peretz, an injured IDF veteran-turned professor, has founded CaPow and developed a way to power robots “en route” eliminating the need to stop for recharging. It eliminates charging processes and downtime, plus backup robots, while ensuring constant 100% throughput.
