CASE STORY - PART II ------- We are on with the second part of story about our implementation to Tel Aviv Medical Center - T.A.M.C Ltd. This time it's more detailed, and tells about how we moved this medical center from 6 systems to one. All-in-one is one of the basic concepts of our software. We really thing, that using multiple solutions (sometimes over 30) only make your clinic way less efficient. If you have a software mess in your medical center or chain of clinics - that one is for you 😊 https://lnkd.in/eQM-tNK8

An initiative, established by Sheba Impact, ARC Innovation, and Ofakim LaAtid ("Future Horizons")—and led by Amir Hasson, a dedicated member of the Sheba team and the Druze community—connects talented Druze entrepreneurs with mentors and resources. Five innovative entrepreneurs recently showcased their solutions at a breakthrough panel, marking the beginning of this transformative program. "If we, as civil society and hospitals, don't lead the change, it simply won't happen. That's why we started this initiative," shares Prof. Arnon Afek, Associate Director General at Sheba.

"AR computing!" Say goodbye to traditional laptops. An Israeli entrepreneur has innovated a technology that bids farewell to our traditional laptops. Tamir Berliner- founder of Sightful and the innovator behind the Spacetop G1! What is the Spacetop G1? Spatial computer that seamlessly integrates the functionality of a laptop with the capabilities Of Augmented Reality (AR). A 100-inch virtual workspace replaces the need for a physical screen. Spacetop G1 adapts to various environments, whether at home, in the office, or on the go. This represents a step forward in integrating AR technologies with daily tasks. Spatial with AR transforms how we interact with digital content, personally and professionally. The real test will be in its execution. The usability of the AR interface, the battery life, the comfort of AR glasses, etc., are crucial. I believe Sightful has managed to address these practical concerns effectively. And I am awaiting the official release in india. Congrats to Tamir Berliner and the team for their bold move and fantastic innovation. The Spacetop G1 is an evolution in how we think about personal computing.

Joe Hayon on the Role of Israeli Startups in the Global High-Tech Ecosystem: “Israeli startups in so many sectors are globally acknowledged for innovation and resilience. With the challenges of operating in a complex geopolitical region with a world influenced by biased and disproportionate media coverage, we are often too accustomed with having to consistently defy the odds to bring unique idea and develop new technologies and solutions in a highly competitive world. I believe Israeli startups aren’t just part of the global ecosystem; but rather they are the pinnacle of the most influential technological developments of our world, with Israeli startups having a distinct ability to innovate under pressure and within time periods and budgets that other view as “mission impossible” A recent report by Startup Nation Central sheds light on Israel’s growing prominence, particularly in the AI sector, securing 47% of total funding, underlining the strong global confidence in Israeli tech. Read more about how Israel is shaping the future of AI and driving global innovation in the latest report:  https://lnkd.in/dTeSsr-D What do you think sets Israeli startups apart on the global stage?

Joe Hayon shares his candid thoughts on the Israeli government's strategic role in the high-tech sector: ״The government needs to dial back on global politics and take on a more hands-on approach in managing the economy. It's time to shift focus and provide more substantial support to the startups that have real potential and as they are important to the Israeli economy, attracting foreign investments and creating jobs. The Israel Innovation Authority currently offers grants of hundreds of thousands of dollars to thousands of startups and does an excellent job of helping to lift these startups. However, founders still need risk management and business management tools, training, and coaching, meaning that having a great idea is not enough to build a business that can develop technology and market a new product.The concept that the core tech is so great that someone will buy the company, is what causes founders to refrain from ongoing learning of the addressable markets needs, often developing a product that nobody will want to use or even needs. The market is your workplace, and not the tech lab. Founding a startup does not come with work instructions, so the complexity of building a startup is often underestimated, while the value of an idea, initial prototype or proof of concept based on academic research is greatly overestimated. It often takes years and tens of millions of dollars to reach a break-through product, and thousands of startups will have a low probability of raising funds beyond the grant or a seed investment. I believe it's better to allocate more resources to fewer companies that demonstrate strong growth opportunity, with a key component being the potential of the founders. I believe that this approach will leave more companies in Israeli control, meaning that they will grow into larger entities, to further strengthen in the Israeli economy and the dependence of the global markets on Israeli based technologies and business corporations.״ In an industry as dynamic as high-tech, strategic investment and professional support by people with a track record are crucial for startup survival and growth. Joe's perspective challenges us to look at funding capabilities, and business management skills as what define the core potential of a startup. He believes that without them, even the best of startup ideas and core technologies will dry up. What are your thoughts on government support programs for startups? Is it better to spread resources across many or concentrate them on the most promising few? Let’s discuss.   #HighTech #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #GovernmentPolicy #Startups #IsraelTech
