As a result of the war, the Israeli defense industry and defense-tech companies have been at the forefront. In a recent article he wrote for @Calcalist, @Ofir Gomeh @Capital Nature CEO explains how we can leverage significant investments made in defense industries to achieve environmental sustainability and overcome climate change. Dual-use technology refers to technologies that can be used for both military and civilian purposes, thereby maximizing the advantages of advanced technologies. A drone is a great example of dual-use technology – on one hand, it can be used for military surveillance, and on the other hand, it can also be used to monitor climate-related changes such as methane and other GHG emissions monitoring, weather patterns, etc. In the article, Ofir provided more examples of dual-use technologies, including satellite technologies and green transportation. Defense industries and Israeli defense-tech companies can play a central role in dual-use technology. Investing in dedicated bodies like Capital Nature can provide the necessary network and market access for these technologies. This can revolutionize both sectors and drive progress towards a safer and more sustainable future. #DualUseTechnology #Defensetech #ClimateCrisis

4% of the Israeli #companies generate a quarter of the state's #income from #taxes - this amazing figure is the strength of the Israeli #hightechsector. But the more interesting figure concerns what is the contribution of the corporate tax and who generates most of it: only 15% of the hi-tech contribution to the country's treasury comes from #Corporatetax and the rest from #taxation on #employees' #salaries. There are many reasons for this, among them: the fact that #humancapital is the basis of the #technologicalindustry, and the high wages that its employees receive, along side the low corporate tax that countries (#Israel among them) offer to #technologycompanies in order to attract them to their territory. Will the united global taxation proposed to prevent the competing on the companies turn the tide? https://lnkd.in/ec4QgfsD (For the English version - Just use #GoogleTranslet) * The #data in the #article is based on the 'high-tech contribution to the state treasury' report made by the Israel Innovation Authority רשות החדשנות the The Chief Economist Department - אגף הכלכלן הראשי at the Israel Ministry of Finance - משרד האוצר #Technologysector #technologyIndustry #InnovationIndustry #Innovationeffect #Economy #Economy2024 #EconomyInsight #2024Insights

In today’s fast-paced and uncertain environment, accessing top tech talent often means expanding internationally. At COMMIT Offshore, with 200+ team members across four global centers, I’ve found that thriving in global hiring depends on two main factors: 🔑 Cultural Compatibility: Embracing cultural diversity is key. For instance, Israel’s direct style can differ greatly from the more reserved approach of Ukrainian, Armenian professionals. 🤝 Emphasis on Soft Skills: Technical expertise is critical, but it’s the adaptability, communication, and teamwork skills that truly bind a team. Identifying and understanding personality types can transform team dynamics: 🔍 The Analyst – Detail-oriented, thorough, and structured. Perfect for roles that need data-driven decisions and precision. ✅ The Task-Oriented – Mission-focused, efficient, and punctual. Ideal for tasks with tight deadlines and clear objectives. 🎤 The Promoter – Charismatic and engaging, they light up the room. Great fit for Sales and Marketing! 🤝 The Supporter – Calm, empathetic, and reliable. Perfect for roles in care-giving and customer support. Creating successful international teams goes beyond recruitment—it's about building a shared culture that resonates globally.

🔔 The Hidden Consequences of the ICC Arrest Warrants In a Maariv Online interview, Dr. Daphné Richemond-Barak, a Senior Researcher and Head of the International Law Desk at the International Institute for Counter Terrorism (ICT), and an Associate Professor at the Lauder School of Government, Diplomacy and Strategy at Reichman University, provides insight on the arrest warrants issued against Israeli leaders by the International Criminal Court (ICC), delving into the legal and political ramifications of these warrants, exploring how they impact Israel’s international standing and its leaders’ ability to conduct foreign relations effectively. Dr. Richmond-Barak further discusses the broader implications for Israel’s strategy in handling international legal disputes and the potential future consequences for Israeli military personnel. Dr. Richmond-Barak emphasizes, “The allegations about the court’s lack of authority are unfounded. The ICC has jurisdiction over the territories of its member states, and this includes prosecuting crimes committed within those territories.” She further elaborates, “The broader consequences of these arrest warrants are significant. They highlight how Israel is increasingly being isolated in the international community. This isn’t just about travel restrictions for our leaders; it affects our national administration and foreign relations on a fundamental level.” For the full interview: https://lnkd.in/d4jZG_FQ #CounterTerrorism #InternationalLaw #LegalAffairs #Israel #ICC

I published this week in ynet an article (https://lnkd.in/dgp2T945) calling to stop the construction of new gas-fired power plants. Here is an English translation - in 3 parts. part 1: The construction of new gas-fired power plants is a colossal waste. About half a year ago, the Minister of Energy made the final decision to cease electricity generation at the Reading station in the heart of Tel Aviv. This followed years of zigzagging decisions, accompanied by threats from industry professionals of "doomsday darkness scenario", a professional term that has become commonplace. In its place, a battery storage facility will be built. It is fitting that a similar decision be made to scrap plans for the construction of new gas‑fired power plants, such as the Kassem and Reindeer power stations. The development plan for the electricity sector prepared by Noga, the Israeli independent system operator, after examination under extremely conservative assumptions, determined that (barely) two additional gas‑fired stations are needed by 2030. These stations are de facto already in development - in Sorek and Eshkol - so there is no need for additional ones. A recent decision made by the National Planning Council, encouraged by the Ministry of Finance and the Planning Administration and opposed by the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Environmental Protection, is just plain wrong. Every additional gas‑fired station is a waste of public funds, leads to pollution, locks us into continued greenhouse gas emissions, and harms public health and the environment. Noga’s conservative assumptions did not consider additional options for dealing with peak demand: 1. It is already clear that even if we do not meet the 2030 renewable energy target of 30%, we will not be far from it. Therefore, we will not even need the two gas-fired stations whose construction has already begun. 2. The electrification of vehicles, which was a source of concern for Noga, is proving, as I have previously argued, the opposite in recent days, when the WEVO, a company which manages the charging of thousands of electric vehicles, showed that it was able to significantly reduce the electricity consumption of vehicles during peak hours through flexible pricing. In this matter as well, Noga’s concerns are proving to be unfounded. 3. The entry of private suppliers - companies that consumers can be connected to in order to reduce the cost of electricity - makes the possibility of demand management, which was not considered at all in the development plan, feasible. Suppliers will strive in the coming years to reduce peak demand, as their profits depend on it.

Hila Markovich has been in the tech industry for two decades, breaking boundaries and paving the way for future generations of women. With a background in computer science and extensive leadership experience, Hila embodies innovation and resilience, attributes that drew her to the field of technology. Her journey started with a desire to stay connected to the latest developments in tech, and she found herself naturally drawn to roles where she could make an impact. Despite being one of the few women in meeting rooms filled with men, Hila sees this as an opportunity to stand out, bringing fresh perspectives and unique insights to the table. On Women in Tech: While Hila hasn't personally experienced discrimination, she recognizes that biases and cultural barriers still exist. A shortage of female role models and sometimes-biased recruiting processes create a “male-dominated” perception of the industry, which can discourage women from pursuing or persisting in tech careers. Hila’s insights remind us that greater support for women can foster a more inclusive industry, where diverse viewpoints lead to richer innovation and growth. Let’s celebrate and support the women who are shaping the future of technology! Learn more: https://lnkd.in/guGERNuE #womenintech #diversityintech #empowerment
