Held on Wednesday, the conference highlighted advancements across artificial intelligence, health care, cybersecurity, property technology and dual-use. The program combined keynote presentations with startup demonstrations, creating an environment that blended strategic insight with tangible solutions to global challenges. The conference held a variety of high-profile speakers that provided context on how innovation intersects with markets, risk and industry transformation. Keynote speaker, Prof. Amir Yaron, Governor of the Bank of Israel, spoke about Israel’s economic resilience analyzing the macro data in the face of the ongoing turbulent events of the last two years, stating: “The resiliency of the Israeli people is unmatched. We had a huge drop in the economy when October 7th happened. But two months later we saw people going to the movies, enjoying dinners out with their families. We persevere.” Christopher Lochhead, bestselling author, master marketer and founder of Category Pirates, spoke to the founders about the importance of designing new markets for products and not just blending into existing ones. He said, “Market the problem, not your product. When you market my problem I think you want to help me. When you market your product I think you want my money. All entrepreneurs should be obsessed with your problem, not the solution.” He also spoke of his emotional connection to Israel and the amazing innovation the country has created over the years.
