At the Technion, researchers are unraveling the fierce battles our cells wage against viruses, uncovering how gut microbes shift the tide in chronic disease, and revealing the brain’s surprising power to heal broken hearts. From revolutionary dual-target antibodies that outsmart the flu to groundbreaking discoveries in inflammation, these breakthroughs are rewriting the future of medicine — promising lifesaving therapies that arrive faster, hit harder, and change everything.
In a year marked by war, political upheaval, and global economic volatility, Israel’s tech sector continues to defy the odds — and the Technion is once again at the heart of its resilience. Three of the standout companies on Calcalist’s 2025 list of the 50 most promising Israeli startups — Decart, ForSight Robotics, and OX […]
By all appearances, Decart is moving fast. The Tel Aviv-based AI startup has secured $100 million in new funding at a $3.1 billion valuation, just two years after it was founded. It now counts 60 employees and a growing global presence. At the center of its pitch: the belief that AI’s next frontier won’t be text or images, but real-time video. While others rushed to build language models, Decart started with the hardware layer, developing a GPU optimization stack that it quietly licensed to major cloud providers in multi-million dollar deals. That foundation gave the company early revenue, and the…
Israeli startup Scanary.ai is introducing a patented radar and AI-based scanning system for remote mass security screening in open environments. The system, developed by the Tel Aviv-based company, scans individuals in motion from a distance of up to 10 meters — eliminating the need for physical checks or queues common at today’s security checkpoints. To date, the company has raised about $3 million. The scan takes less than two seconds and, if proven effective, could revolutionize crowd security at large-scale events by replacing physical pat-downs and pocket emptying. The system has received regulatory approvals in Europe, including CE and GDPR…
“We couldn’t even begin,” Prof. Horowitz-Kraus said. “There was no school. There was chaos. And when the children finally started coming in a few weeks later, I noticed right away — something had changed.” These six-year-olds were more distracted than the children she had scanned in previous studies. They struggled to focus. Something in their […]
“AI’s role in our organization is primarily augmentation, not replacement, of human labor,” said Itay Ezra, SVP, Global Head of People at Pagaya Technologies. “Where processes were once manual, AI has now introduced automation, allowing us to shift our talent’s focus to tasks that inherently require human insight and creativity.” CTech’s “HR in the AI Era” series explores how the AI revolution is impacting the workforce across Israeli high-tech companies. In this series, we uncover the effects (both personal and professional) that this technology shift has had on Startup Nation. Within Pagaya’s HR department, Ezra says exposure to AI is…
