At Cyber Week 2024, participants actively discussed current cybersecurity issues in seminars, sessions, and roundtables, emphasizing the need for joint solutions to challenges in this important area.

AI Week 2024, in turn, focused on showcasing cutting-edge achievements in artificial intelligence research and the application of intelligent systems. The conference attracted leading industry representatives and academic centers, providing a unique opportunity for active communication and experience sharing.

As part of a report presented by the Israel Innovation Authority, impressive achievements of the country in the startup and artificial intelligence sectors were announced.
