The Israeli government plans to launch a new national program in health technology in the hope of increasing the number of companies in the field and foster the growth of heath-tech Israel, which now often goes by the name “bioconvergence.”
The goal is to encourage the formation of companies that combine engineering, hardware and software to develop biological and health technology.
For example, formulating new drugs using AI and 3D printing of human tissue and organs, nanorobotics that transport drugs through the body, genetic bio-engineering (for example, CAR-T, in which immune systems undergo genetic engineering to attack cancer cells) and others.
