Israel's next-gen inventors aren't building bombs ๐ฃ โ they're doing something far more powerful.โก My experience judging the BioSense Hackathon in Tel Aviv last week revealed a "surprising" truth about Israel's innovation landscape. Contrary to some popular media narratives, the competition finalists shared a common goal: Protect and Defend. Here are some of the standout innovations: ๐ขA portable oxygen generator that replaces bulky, hazardous cylinders, designed to save lives. ๐ขAn app dedicated to aiding PTSD sufferers and their support networks, significantly easing their daily struggles. ๐ขA lightweight, protective neck guard, addressing the 40% of serious battlefield injuries that occur at the neck โ again, saving lives. ๐ขAn AI-powered coating for field vehicles that adapts its colour for better camouflage from drones, enhancing soldier safety. ๐ขAn ingenious partial substitution of cement with recycled plastics, slashing CO2 emissions and helping to save our planet. It's a powerful reminder that innovation can be a force for good, even in complex geopolitical contexts. Yet technology alone can't solve everything. It's crucial to address the immediate crisis: NOW๐๏ธ is the time to bring back the hostages and implement a ceasefire.
