Israeli high-tech companies routinely push the envelope in the world of innovation, earning the country an international reputation as a top-notch, vibrant, and avant-garde incubator for ideas that disrupt the tech landscape.
In the fields of health, cybersecurity, automotive, robotics, and agriculture, Israeli entrepreneurs have attracted multinational corporations by the droves in recent years, seeking Israeli-made technology and talent. But some companies and initiatives operate beyond advanced technology to make an impact on the social level.
NoCamels highlights nine Israeli technologies that have made the world a better place this year.
