Although countries of origin aren’t mentioned in TIME magazine’s “Best Inventions of 2024” list, we easily spotted eight products conceived in Israel.

Blue-and-white inventions have been included on the coveted list for several consecutive years.

TIME solicited nominations from its editors and correspondents around the world, and through an online application process, paying special attention to growing fields such as healthcare, AI and green energy. Each contender is evaluated on the basis of factors including originality, efficacy, ambition and impact.
