For global investors, entrepreneurs, and professionals who care about Israel’s economy, security, society, and future, this is your trusted lens into the country’s most consequential sector—decoded by someone with deep roots in the ecosystem. In a market that’s often impenetrable to outsiders—due to language barriers, distance, tight-knit networks, and a scarcity of reliable information—this publication connects the dots to offer clarity, credibility, and connection.

This AI-generated image—a reimagined AI mixing of the famous portrait of Theodor Herzl on a balcony in Basel with a tech entrepreneur overlooking Tel Aviv’s buzzy startup scene—hopefully captures the core of what this newsletter is about: the future viability and strength of this country relies on a mix of determined national vision, entrepreneurial grit, global connectivity, and sustained innovation.

As Herzl said: “If you will it, it is no dream”.
