Radio headset plus health monitor
Israel’s Silynxcom (see previously) has added vital life signs monitoring to its ruggedized communication headsets. They provide crucial health insights and two-way real-time alerts in combat or high-risk environments, alerting command centers, even when the user is incapacitated.
Green technology for New York
The New York Power Authority (NYPA) and Israel’s Phinergy (see previously) were awarded a $1.5 million U.S. grant from US-Israel BIRD Foundation (see previously) to demonstrate a clean alternative to emergency generators based on aluminum-air technology.
Taking border security to the next level
Israel’s RT Aerostat Systems (see previously) is showcasing its innovative mobile advanced aerostat (air balloon) platforms to U.S. Customs and Border Protection and other security agencies at the Border Security Expo in Phoenix. They are designed for extreme weather conditions.
US reinforces Israel’s defense systems
The US has transferred a second THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense System) anti-missile defense battery to Israel (see previously). It has also reportedly provided additional Patriot anti-missile defense systems.
Agrotech conference in the North
“Bringing Good News to the North” is the excellent title of the Sunnyside Migal Annual Conference for Agriculture of the Future. 400+ farmers, agrotech innovators, and more, gathered to exhibit agriculture and food production technology, and to plan the future of agriculture in the Galilee.
Top Greentech companies
Many Israeli startups appear in the Time and Statista’s World's Top GreenTech Companies of 2025. I spotted Ormat, Redefine Meat, TIPA, Beewise, Aleph Farms, CropX, H2Pro, Addionics, Exodigo, and StoreDot, but there could be others.
Predicting lightning-induced fires
Scientists at Israel’s Bar-Ilan University have developed an AI-based model that can predict where and when lightning strikes are most likely to cause wildfires. It analyzes high-resolution historical satellite data, weather patterns, vegetation, and topography, achieving over 90% accuracy.
Multiple green energy projects
Israel’s Enlight Renewable Energy is to build a $1.1 billion 100MW per hour solar-power plant and data center in Ashalim, southern Israel. It has also signed contracts for NTA (Tel Aviv Metro), Big, SodaStream, Applied Materials, Amdocs and others, who will buy green electricity from Enlight.
Storing data as DNA
Researchers at Israel’s Technion Institute have developed DNAformer – a technology for encoding, retrieving, and rapidly reading data stored in DNA molecules. DNA takes up 100 million times less space, lasts hundreds of millennia, saves energy and emissions, and is thousands of times faster to process.
A quality code-generator
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being widely used to create computer code, but the code generated is often over-complex, full of bugs and security flawed. Israel’s Qodo (see ) sets a new standard for efficiency in code understanding, enabling AI systems to work with code at any scale.
