The Defense Directorate of Defense Research & Development (DDR&D) at the Israel Ministry of Defense (IMOD) hosted a unique DefenseTech Leaders Day event showcasing Israeli innovation shaping global security's future. Seven breakthrough startup companies collaborating with the DDR&D were presented, providing a unique opportunity for industry leaders, investors, and professionals to get an up-close look at breakthrough Israeli technologies shaping the operational field - from electric aircraft to revolutionary laser computers, from smart defense systems to advanced medical technologies. All in an intimate and exclusive meeting with the entrepreneurs and innovators building the future of defense and technology.
Head of the DDR&D, Brig. Gen. (Red.), Dr. Daniel Gold: "During the war, 137 small companies and startups received orders from the DDR&D totaling approximately 1.2 billion NIS, to develop and upgrade operational capabilities. We work in parallel on different solutions for various problems arising from the field, and every few months, we challenge companies to find new solutions to evolving threats. Additionally, we bring ideas from civilian worlds, such as autonomy and laser technology, to our systems. We have significantly reduced bureaucracy to deliver relevant solutions in real-time and adapted ourselves with a green track for startups that facilitates their entry into defense sectors."
Participating companies: AIR, Prisma Photonics, Regulus, GrayMatters Health, Kela Technologies, LightSolver, and Lingacom Ltd
