Founded in 2010, Stargo is a private company that aims to revolutionize the freight forwarding and supply chain industry by automating and optimizing routing and pricing in real-time in seconds. Using our Decision Support System (DSS) with extensive artificial intelligence capabilities, we offer dynamic optimized pricing and guaranteed payment (through a global banking network), maximizing the efficiency of the cargo shipping quote generation process and eliminating negative working capital on successful quotes. We use proprietary cloud-based big data, machine learning and optimization engines to optimize prices from tens of thousands of global carriers, as they rapidly change. Our artificially intelligent engine is the one way to make sense of the time-consuming and labor-intensive traditional pricing practices. Our vision is to see the freight forwarding, shipping and logistics industries experience a digital transformation, making them epically more efficient, profitable, reliable and robust.

Founded in 2017, FortePhest is a biotechnology company focusing on crop protection. The Company develops innovative products to control both regular weeds and weeds which are resistant to herbicides. They do this mainly by exploring novel Mechanisms of Action (MOA) discovered in plants. Inspired by natural plant protectors, our products are intended to provide potent, environmentally friendly, and sustainable solutions that may eventually improve crop productivity. Our technology is based on research of world-class teams of scientists from Cornell University, The Weizmann Institute of Science and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Global demand for live video over the cellular network is growing due to market drivers such as Facebook live, Instagram live, Autonomous vehicles, and smart city video surveillance. However, the capability to transmit live video, the most bandwidth-hungry data, on cellular networks is limited due to their lack of bandwidth, creating a global communication bottleneck. By adapting the video stream to a cellular network in real-time, Telicomm's software platform enables transmitting live video over any cellular network. While it has numerous potential applications, Telicomm has decided to initially focus (Go-to-market strategy) on enabling smart city HD cameras connectivity over cellular networks, breaking through their traditional boundaries of limited cellular bandwidth.

SOOS develops an incubation system that affects the sex development process in poultry embryo and turns genetic males into functional female chicks. The company's solution is an incubation system (AI-driven software controlling a customized incubation cell) that controls the sex development process in chicken embryos and uses genetic male layers to produce functional female layers that can lay eggs.
