Four Israeli tech companies have been named in this year’s annual list of Time magazine’s Best Inventions for creations “that are changing how we live, work, play and think about what’s possible,” the publication said.
The global list of the 300 groundbreaking inventions includes Apple’s iPhone Duo, AI software that lets non-coders build websites, and a breakthrough treatment for pancreatic cancer.
The Israeli-founded startups that shone in the global list of inventions that the magazine said “are making the world better, smarter and even a bit more fun” are: SpotitEarly, which trains dogs to detect cancer-related scent signatures in human breath samples; Beewise, a developer of robotic beehives using AI; Bria AI, which helps artists earn royalties when their work is used as part of AI-generated content; and Aidoc, the developer of a clinical AI reasoning engine designed to analyze medical images and clinical data to identify urgent findings and prioritize cases in real time.
Two Israeli innovations featured on TIME magazine’s Best Inventions list — AI-powered robotic beehives and medical AI technology — have ties to The Technion – Israel Institute of Technology alumni Nir Shachar and Elad Walach.
