Key sectors ripe for synergy: farming efficiency, water conservation, medical advancements, and digital transformation. The ongoing ‘India-Israel Innovation Bridge’ is accelerating joint R&D to address pressing global issues.
Highlights included IQCC’s quantum machines, Classiq’s dev tools, Ai.SAP’s handheld AI ultrasound, and the government’s ‘Tech Scout’ AI for strategic foresight. Mobileye’s crash-prevention chips, Check Point’s cyber defenses with India focus, Watergen’s air-to-water tech, N-Drip’s drip systems, NOF’s sustainable farming hacks without power.
Further demos: Remilk’s fermented dairy proteins, Barilgi’s algae production via ML, Minor Bio’s plastic converters, GII’s resource mapping models, and Israel Aerospace’s compact comms sats with radar integration.
PM Modi’s proactive outreach positions India as a prime destination for Israeli ingenuity, fostering economic multipliers and innovation corridors between the two dynamic economies.
