The food-tech industry is BUZZING with innovation, especially for this Yeda spinoff company called "FreezeM" - which recently raised €6.3M to help better position black soldier flies as an alternative protein source for animals and humans!

According to FreezeM CEO, Yuval Gilad, “The world is facing an unprecedented food crisis, with the global population expected to reach 10 billion people by 2050, thus new technologies are needed urgently to sustainably produce, store and transport animal protein feed.”

No more fuzzy photos! Have you ever zoomed in with your phone-camera only to discover poor, blurry or pixelated image quality? We’ve all been there. Fortunately, Prof. Michal Irani and her research team have developed an innovative Zero-shot Super-resolution (ZSSR) approach to help enhance camera zoom technology and achieve “crystal clarity” - without prior data training!

Good news for cardiac sonographers who are reliant on highly accurate, non-invasive cardiac imaging and transthoracic echocardiography solutions, thanks to a breakthrough in AI! Yeda’s spinoff company, UltraSight, was developed based on patented research conducted at the Weizmann Institute of Science in order to help streamline and optimize internal team processes as demonstrated in a recent landmark study.

When life gives you Carbon, make Carbonade! - With the global energy demand on the rise, mitigating CO2 emissions remains a major challenge for businesses everywhere. To reach a Net Zero goal, serious efforts are being made to help reduce new CO2 fossil-derived emissions.

AO and Liposphere Ltd. are proud to announce a joint program to make next-generation joint lubrication technology available to patients and physicians.
