This is a mixed bag of applications that impact many different fields. Take, for example, Intuition Robotics, started by yet another graduate from Israel’s military intelligence unit 8200, which earlier this year introduced an artificial intelligence-based robotic device called ElliQ that aims to keep elderly people active and engaged. Medaware, another start-up, watches out for prescription error using machine learning. Cortica uses artificial intelligence image recognizing technology, among others to help autonomous car driving systems recognize what’s happening around them. One more example is RoboTeam, a leading maker of military robots now branching out into home assistants, for which it secured $50 million in funding last year. Read more on CNBC...

Another field in which Israel has been an early adopter, with a historically high percentage, nowadays 90 percent, of homes taking hot water from solar panels. One solar power pioneering company, BrightSource Israel, formerly LuzII, is building the world’s tallest solar tower in the Negev desert. More recent start-ups like SolarPaint have developed waver-thin coating that can turn any surface into a solar panel. In yet another an example of cross-fertilization with the defense industry sector, mPrest, which developed the software driving Israel’s anti-missile system IronDome, raised $20 million last year from among others GE Ventures, to adapt its product to manage smart grids. Battery technology is another field in which advances are being made, particularly by start-up StoreDot, specializing in rapid-charging batteries. Read more on CNBC...
