Twenty-five years ago, carrying your data meant lugging around floppy disks or burning CDs — today, terabytes (TB) of information fit into a device no larger than a key. That transformation was recently celebrated at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology with a special event marking 25 years since the invention of the USB […]
Led by a repeat founder and a world-renowned robotics pioneer, the Israeli startup EndoCure has developed a robotic platform capable of producing 3D images with 10 times the density of an MRI. “Current imaging methods, MRI, CT, and manual ultrasound, often fail to detect small or deep tumors, are highly operator-dependent, and are either expensive, invasive, or inconsistent,” says EndoCure. “This creates major gaps in diagnosis, delays in treatment, unnecessary surgeries, and poor patient outcomes.” Founded in 2023 by Dr. Hadas Ziso, a repeat founder with 20 years of MedTech experience, and Prof. Moshe Shoham, a robotics pioneer who was…
If New York City hopes to maintain its international reputation as a technological powerhouse, then it must recognize and accelerate the vital role international collaboration plays in its progress. Cornell Tech and the Joan & Irwin Jacobs Technion–Cornell Institute on Roosevelt Island make clear the undeniable local and global benefit of academic collaboration across borders and how its impact extends far beyond the sum of its parts. In 2010, when the city requested proposals from leading universities to create an academic hub focused on applied sciences, entrepreneurship and job creation, Cornell University and the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology…
SpaceX has transformed the aerospace industry with its reusable rockets — radically lowering the cost of lifting satellites into space while bringing internet service to all corners of the globe with its Starlink network. Now, Elon Musk’s privately held company is eyeing what could be the largest initial public offering ever as it faces multiple challenges — including landing Americans on the moon, satisfying the billionaire’s ambitious if quixotic desires to colonize Mars and potentially putting AI data centers into orbit. The company is seeking to raise more than $30 billion with an IPO perhaps late next year that would…
Israel’s quantum computing sector is experiencing a breakout year. In 2025 alone, five Israeli quantum companies have raised almost $500 million, an influx of capital that places the country among the most active and diversified quantum hubs in the world. The companies – Quantum Art, Classiq, QuamCore, Qedma, and Quantum Machines – span nearly every layer of the quantum stack, from hardware and scaling architectures to control systems and error-correction software. Quantum Art announced a $100 million Series A, bringing its total funding to $124 million. The round was led by Bedford Ridge Capital with participation from Battery Ventures, Destra…
LeanCon, an AI startup seeking to overhaul one of the construction industry’s most entrenched bottlenecks, has raised a total of $6 million, doubling its original Seed target. The round was led by Ibex Investors, with participation from Fusion VC, Newman Architects, TCA LA, Connecticut Innovations, Siegel Capital, and a group of sector-focused angel investors, including Phil Bernstein, former Autodesk executive and Deputy Dean at the Yale School of Architecture. Founded by engineers Ziv Levi and Sapir Tubul, LeanCon is positioning itself as the world’s first AI-powered pre-construction engineering team, offering a platform that aims to convert one of the industry’s…
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…
The Technion’s Role in National Security Levy credits the Technion not only for his own success but also for the strength of Israel’s entire defense sector. “The Technion’s role in producing world-class engineers is crucial for Israel’s security and economic prosperity,” he said. Today, IAI collaborates closely with the Technion on cutting-edge research in space, […]

On Wednesday, October 29, Michael Kagan did not deviate from his planned schedule. He attended the Nvidia conference in Washington along with ten thousand other people. But here and there, between lectures, meetings, and mingling, he received an update: Nvidia’s value had passed the $5 trillion mark, less than four months after reaching $4 trillion. No company has ever reached such a valuation, and Nvidia has held the title of the world’s most valuable company since June 2024. It achieved these numbers in large part thanks to its connection with Israeli company Mellanox, which means it also owes much of…
