The New Center Of Technology - Israel's mega projects for the next 12 year

[Mindful]

Since Israel receives roughly $3.8 Billion in aid from the United States while purchasing roughly $12.2 Billion in goods and services from the United States

So the U.S. has to bribe Israel with $3.8 billion of taxpayer money to buy our products? Quite the racket Israel has going on.
Maybe I should see if WalMart and Target will pay me money to shop at their stores?
I wonder if Harvard teaches this business model to their students majoring in economics? ...

Yes, but not "cash up front" before you buy. ...

 

[rylah]

I have to ask this question. ...

Why do the Israeli's still beg the U.S. every year for billions of tax payer dollars, when they clearly have plenty of money to fund all of these cutting edge technology projects?

That's the American way to control,
to make Israel reliant on US politics and military industry, and limit or otherwise supervise key decisions in development of competitive technology though contracts with local developers.

No one begs for it, you think it's a threat, but it's only about 1% of Israel's GDP.

Israeli woman on Fast Company ‘Most Creative People’ list

Inna Braverman, founder and CEO of Israeli clean-energy company Eco Wave Power, is the only Israeli on the 11th annual Fast Company list of Most Creative People in Business honoring 74 women and men from such companies as Netflix and Google.

Braverman cofounded Eco Wave Power in 2011 at the age of 24. Its wave energy generation technology is installed in Israel and Gibraltar, and next will be introduced in Portugal. She led the public listing of Eco Wave Power on Nasdaq Stockholm, thereby becoming the first Israeli company to list on this exchange.

“I am honored to be included in such an impressive list of creative individuals, and it is incredibly gratifying to see Eco Wave Power recognized for the pioneering work that we are doing,” said Braverman.

“Since [cofounder] David Leb and I began this journey in 2011, our goal has always been to revolutionize the renewable energy sector. As climate change presents an increasingly urgent challenge, we need lots of creative thinking, to preserve our planet and aid the fight against climate change.”

Braverman was previously recognized as CNN’s “Tomorrow’s Hero,” Medium.com’s “100 makers and mavericks,” Wired’s list of “Females Changing the World” and MSN.com’s “30 most influential women of the 21st century.”

Yes, in this case the policy involved, but anyway it doesn't seem as if the US just donates the money to Israel.

I agree with you 110%.
Israel gets 3.8 Billion and delivers back 10 Billion in technology.
Israel should refuse the money and simply charge the US 10 Billion.

Israeli Conference on Contending with Desertification Attended by UAE, Iran

Nearly 2,000 people are participating virtually in Ben-Gurion University’s 2020 Drylands, Deserts & Desertification Conference (DDD) which began on Monday and will address one of the most pressing worldwide issues, “Feeding the Drylands: Challenges in a Changing Environment.”

Desertification refers to a process of degradation in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas as a result of human activity, climate change and various additional factors. More than 40% of the Earth’s landmass is considered drylands, and that percentage rises every year.

The world’s largest desertification-focused conference is being held virtually with participants from 103 countries, including from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Iran.

The number of registrants has quadrupled since the previous DDD conference.

Another Giant Step in Establishing Israel’s “City of Health”

A cornerstone for the Israel Center for Advanced Nuclear Medicine and Radio-Pharmacy was laid at a ceremony on Dec. 8 at the Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer.

The new facility is expected to make Sheba one of the most advanced global centers for nuclear medicine, imaging and radio-pharmacy. The new facility is made possible thanks to the generous support and contribution of businessman and philanthropist Roman Abramovich.

Along with the most state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging devices, and a large complex for innovative radioactive treatments, the new center will also feature a cyclotron – the largest and most advanced in Israel – that will allow the development and production of more accurate and rapid cancer diagnosis and treatments.

With the help of the cyclotron, Sheba Medical Center will be able to develop and produce within its own research laboratories new research materials to diagnose other maladies such as heart disease, inflammatory ailments, and Alzheimer’s, as well as to produce innovative medications and treatments for local and global use.

Dr. Liran Domchevsky, Director of the Institute of Nuclear Medicine at Sheba Medical Center said, “Today the cornerstone was laid for a groundbreaking center with the ability to diagnose and treat patients with all types of diseases. The new center will provide advanced and better treatment, and will promote the production and development of new materials that will affect the way medicine will look in the future.”

Prof. Yitshak Kreiss, Director General of Sheba Medical Center added, “The establishment of the new center is a revolution in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and other diseases. Today, we took another giant step in establishing Israel’s City of Health and implementing a new vision for patient care at Sheba Medical Center.”

StoreDot Batteries Pass 5-Minute Electric Vehicle Hurdle

Israeli startup StoreDot announced this week that it has produced 1,000 of its XFC extra-fast-charging electric car batteries.

StoreDot’s proprietary lithium-ion batteries can be charged to full capacity in just five minutes, compared with 30 to 40 minutes for other electric car batteries, including those from high-flying companies such as Tesla.

If StoreDot’s XFC batteries can be mass produced over the course of the next three years, as professor Chao-Yang Wang of the Battery and Energy Storage Technology Center at Pennsylvania State University predicts, it could be game over for the internal combustion engine.

“The number one barrier to the adoption of electric vehicles is no longer cost,” explained StoreDot CEO Doron Myersdorf. “It is range anxiety. You’re either afraid that you’re going to get stuck on the highway or you’re going to need to sit in a charging station for two hours. But if the experience of the driver is exactly like fueling [a gasoline car], this whole anxiety goes away.”

At the 2019 Ecomotion conference in Tel Aviv, StoreDot showed off a live five-minute recharge of a motorcycle. And last year, StoreDot revealed that it had adopted its fast charging battery technology to work with autonomous drones.

“We are releasing engineering samples from a mass production line,” Myersdorf told The Guardian newspaper. “This demonstrates it is feasible and it’s commercially ready.”

StoreDot replaces the graphite used in traditional lithium-ion batteries with germanium-based nanoparticles into which ions can pass quickly and more easily. StoreDot plans to transition to silicon—which is less expensive than germanium—next year to bring the cost equal to lithium-ion batteries.

StoreDot is working with BP, the British petroleum company, on repurposing thousands of existing gasoline service stations into charging stations for the batteries.

Wang notes that for fast charging to be economically viable, it must be repeatable at least 500 times without degrading the battery. Myersdorf said StoreDot’s batteries can be recharged for 1,000 cycles while retaining 80 percent of their original capacity.

The sample battery cells—which will now be distributed to electric vehicle manufacturers for testing—were produced by StoreDot’s strategic partner in China, EVE Energy. The batteries are designed to be produced on existing lithium-ion production lines, which should further keep the price down.

Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Herzliya, StoreDot has raised $130 million from investors including Daimler AG, TDK Corporation and Samsung Ventures, as well as BP Ventures.

“We’re on the cusp of achieving a revolution in the electric vehicle charging experience that will remove the critical barrier to mass adoption,” said Myersdorf.

Israeli and Emirati companies sign deal to bring greentech innovation to region

Gulf-Israel Green Ventures (GIGV) and the UAE’s United Stars Group have signed a first-of-its-kind deal that will bring Israeli green technologies to the UAE and the wider Gulf region, and Emirati technologies to Israel. The historic deal is focusing on sustainable development projects in the broader Gulf region.

The deal was signed by Gulf-Israel Green Ventures Chief Executive Officer Asher Fredman and United Stars Group Founder and President Omar Al Suwaidi. Following in the footsteps of the historic Abraham Accords, the terms call for delivering environmental innovation to sustainable development in the region and beyond. The new memorandum calls for GIGV to help promote sustainable development goals in Israel and the Gulf in addition to working to reduce emissions while building more environmentally friendly economies and societies. These goals are to be achieved through various types of cooperation including people-to-people, business, and economic. This memorandum is widely expected to be the first of more similar arrangements to come in the future.

One of the initial projects within the framework of the MoU will be to work to integrate Israeli urban green technologies into commercial and residential real estate projects, including one currently being developed on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai.

“The Gulf is experiencing explosive growth in several submarkets and we could not have found a better partner to bring Israeli greentech innovation to development in the region than the United Stars Group. Already, we have identified and begun work on several large projects that we believe will quickly accelerate our growth,” said Fredman.

“We have had our eye on Israeli greentech and cleantech technologies for quite some time and were looking for a partner with deep expertise in this sector in Israel. Gulf-Israel Green Ventures is a wonderful partner for us,” said Al Suwaidi. “There is tremendous opportunity presented before us to help promote environmentally friendly and sustainable projects that will stand to benefit future generations. This is the true spirit of the Abraham Accords.”

For Third Year in Row, Israel’s Sheba Medical Center Ranks as One of World’s ‘Top 10’ Hospitals

For the third consecutive year, Newsweek magazine has ranked Sheba Medical Center among the “Top 10 Best Hospitals in the World,” placing it at #10 in 2021.

The magazine’s annual “World’s Best Hospitals” survey, which debuted on the Newsweek.com site on Wednesday, once again cited Sheba’s superior health care, in addition to its medical innovation and cutting-edge research.

Sheba faced stiffer global competition this year, as the annual Newsweek/Statista ranking featured far more countries, expanding from 1,000 hospitals in 2019 to 2,000 in 2021. Despite doubling the number of participating hospitals, Sheba still placed in the “Top 10.”

“To be nominated and ranked among the Top 10 World’s Best Hospitals for three consecutive years, underscores Israel’s image as a small country with world-class medicine and what we call ‘Sheba Global Impact,’ ” said Professor Yitshak Kreiss, CEO of Sheba Medical Center, the largest facility of its kind in Israel and the Middle East region.

“This honor is also a testament to our dedicated staff, which has worked tirelessly to utilize cutting-edge medical treatments, treating patients from all walks of life during these challenging times, offering hope without boundaries,” he added.

Sheba is located on a 200-acre campus and is home to 11 of Israel’s national health centers, four hospitals, two institutes, expansive research laboratories, 159 medical departments and clinics and diverse educational facilities.
