The New Pioneers: Growing Israel’s AI Advantage

​Co-hosted by AI21 Labs & Vintage Investment Partners

Israel has earned its place as one of the world’s leading technology hubs, but that position can’t be taken for granted in the age of AI. Talent and audacity, the assets that built Israeli tech, now compete against sovereign compute funds, hundred-billion-euro national AI programs, and private infrastructure budgets that redraw the map every quarter. This is a deep-tech race that plays by different rules than the software and cyber waves that made the Startup Nation.

​The next generation of models and the systems built around them, the research behind them, the infrastructure beneath them, the optimization engines that make them economical to run, and the global companies built on top - will shape not only economic leadership, but national security and technological sovereignty. Israel has the minds and ambition to lead, but it must act with urgency to turn that potential into lasting advantage.

​Hosted by Vintage Investment Partners and AI21, this evening will convene leading founders, technology executives, and investors for a candid conversation about the choices ahead: where Israel can lead, what capabilities it must build, and how its global connections can help turn ambition into enduring AI leadership.
