Israel Prioritizes Deep-Tech To Secure Leadership

Dror Bin, CEO of the Israel Innovation Authority, argues on February 8, 2026 that Israel must prioritize deep-tech (AI, synthetic biology, quantum, materials) to maintain global leadership. He cites about 1,500 deep-tech companies that raised over $28 billion from 2019–2025 and calls for national-scale investment, industrial infrastructure, and cross-sector alignment. The initiative aims to translate science into market-ready solutions addressing climate, aging, and food security.
