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. Israel ranks third in the world in the number of startups specializing in artificial intelligence, with 83 companies in the Gen AI sector, trailing only the USA and the UK.

Global activity in artificial intelligence investments highlights the strategic importance of this field for future development. The plans of the Innovation Authority include investments of about 600 million shekels by the end of the current year as part of a national program, the total volume of which amounts to one billion shekels. This emphasizes the need for close cooperation between government bodies, industry, and the academic community to strengthen Israel’s position as a global leader in the field of artificial intelligence.
