The Israeli Innovation Authority (IIA) is an independent statutory authority entrusted with promoting innovation as a lever for inclusive and sustainable economic growth in Israel.
The 2022 IIA report, lists the significant achievements and challenges the authority is facing, focusing on the Israeli high-tech industry. On the other hand, it emphasizes that the State of Israel was ranked 15th in the Global Innovation Index (GII) in 2021 (down 5 places from the previous year).
Another angle on the subject can be seen in an interview given by Dror Bin, CEO of the Israeli Innovation Authority, to Bruce Hahn on his South Korean show “Global Signs”. Mr. Dror Bin was interviewed following a recommendation and contact made by Prof. Yesha Sivan.
Dror Bin spoke about Israel’s “secret recipe” to high-tech success, the Israeli government’s role in this success, the business model it operates by, and the cooperation between Israel and South Korea.
He was asked what is the new “wave” on which everyone is expected to “ride” on, and how to catch it. To answer, Bin opened with the topic of AI and continued with smart agriculture, food tech, clean energy, and smart transportation.
