After operating in near-total secrecy for more than eighteen months, Israeli startup Moonshot Space is emerging with an ambition rarely seen outside government laboratories. The company is developing a high-power electromagnetic launcher designed to propel objects to hypersonic speeds using electricity rather than chemical propellants, a technology it believes could reshape both orbital logistics and the global race for hypersonic capabilities. Moonshot has raised $12 million to date, led by Angular Ventures, including a $1 million grant from the Israel Innovation Authority. Founded in 2024, the company brings together a senior group of industry, defense, and government veterans: Hilla Haddad…
NeuroKaire’s offices on Yigal Alon Street in Tel Aviv are about as far as one can get from the gleaming workspaces of a typical Israeli high-tech company. The parking lot is dark and dirty, the elevator creaks, and there is no doorman, nor a sea view, unlike the surrounding luxury towers. The surprise begins only after stepping through the wide office doors: giant microscopes, highly sophisticated robots, and some of the world’s most advanced medical equipment, all enabling one of the most complex biological feats in existence, turning ordinary blood cells into human brain cells. “We could have been, like…
In a 1966 Hollywood film “Fantastic Voyage”, screenplay by Isaac Asimov, scientists are shrunk to a few millimeters and injected into the bloodstream of a dying scientist who has vital information. Their mission: Navigate to his brain and destroy a blood clot before returning to normal size. Fast forward: On sabbatical in Boston in the early 1980s, Rafael rocket engineer Gabriel Iddan encounters Israeli gastroenterologist, Eitan Scapa. “I can’t reach the small intestine with my endoscope,” he says. Jokingly, to Iddan: “Can you shrink a camera and transmitter small enough to swallow and travel through the intestines?” Iddan’s Israeli startup…
President Isaac Herzog this evening, (Wednesday, 22 October 2025), conferred the Israeli Presidential Medal of Honor upon nine distinguished laureates from diverse fields, in recognition of their lifelong contribution to the State of Israel and the Jewish people.

Initiated in 2012 by the Ninth President of Israel, Shimon Peres, the Israeli Presidential Medal of Honor is awarded to those “who, by virtue of their skills,…
Technion graduates have a high likelihood of success according to two recent independent studies. The first report, which came out earlier this year, concluded that the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, is the leading provider of talent for major tech companies in Israel and abroad. The second report, released in September, ranked the Technion in the top ten worldwide for entrepreneurial success for undergraduates. The release of these rankings is especially timely, as the Technion begins the academic year with a new cohort of international students participating in an immersive four-year bachelor’s degree program. The Technion is a prestigious…
“Most shipping companies lack the tools to make data-driven voyage decisions in real time,” explained THETIS AI. “THETIS AI is democratizing access to advanced voyage planning for a wide range of operators, accelerating digitalization and sustainability efforts in a traditionally conservative industry.” Launched in 2025, THETIS AI was founded by former Israeli Navy officer Roei Shaham, who recognized the significant inefficiencies and environmental costs of traditional voyage planning, and teamed up with deep-tech entrepreneur Ohad Levin to address them. “THETIS AI’s mission is to drive a more efficient, sustainable, and intelligent future for global shipping,” they said.

This week, two Israeli neuroscientists have rolled out a blood test in the US and Israel that they say can measure the responsiveness of a patient with major depressive disorder to common antidepressants. Depression is one of the most common forms of mental disorder, affecting more than 330 million people worldwide. Treatment methods rely primarily on a taxing trial-and-error process to find the right prescription drug, which can take years. In Israel, the psychological toll of 23 months of war and counting has made the need for effective mental health treatment felt more than ever. The blood test, created by…

Dr. Eyal Orion did not dream of being an entrepreneur, certainly not a serial entrepreneur. He knew little about economics or entrepreneurship. By the age of 30, he had not yet decided what he truly wanted to do in life. Even while on a seemingly safe path at the Technion’s medical school, doubts about whether medicine was the right choice never gave him any rest. Today, nearly two decades later, he is one of the most prominent figures in Israel’s medical device industry. He spent his childhood in Ramat Efal as one of four siblings. His parents still live in…
