US tech giant Nvidia has teamed up with the Israel Innovation Authority and business development center MATI Haifa to set up an innovation hub in Haifa to encourage artificial intelligence-based entrepreneurship in Israel’s north.
The Road2 hub, named after the highway that connects Tel Aviv to Haifa, was officially launched on Wednesday, in the presence of Nvidia officials, Dr. Ami Appelbaum, the chairman of Israel Innovation Authority; Prof. Rafi Beyar, former director of Rambam Hospital; and Mooly Eden, a former senior VP at Intel Corp. and head of Intel Israel.
A new innovation hub named Road2, aimed at encouraging AI-based entrepreneurship, was launched last week in the northern city of Haifa. Road2 was established through a collaboration between the business development center MATI Haifa, computer system and service company NVIDIA, and the Israel Innovation Authority (IIA).
The launch was celebrated with a live, in-person event as Israel opens its physical spaces again following a successful vaccination rollout and somewhat of a return to normalcy within the country. The event was attended by industry leaders such as NVIDIA’s Arik Kol, Dr. Ami Appelbaum, Chairman of Israel Innovation Authority; Mooly Eden, Former Senior V.P at Intel Corporation. President of Intel Israel; and Ruth Alon, founder and former CEO of NetVision, among others.
