These repositories will offer researchers, tech startups, and industrial players access to data sets that were previously scattered, siloed, or inaccessible.
Israel is taking a bold step toward cementing its global status as an artificial intelligence powerhouse with a new government initiative that will pour NIS 44 million into the creation of high-quality data repositories.
The program, a joint effort by the Israel Innovation Authority, Ministry of Economy and Industry, Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, and the Tkuma Administration, aims to build the infrastructure needed to supercharge AI development and scientific innovation.
The grants will support the creation and opening of comprehensive data sets across six national growth sectors: health and life sciences, advanced manufacturing, DeserTech and climate, agritech, foodtech, and defense and high-tech.
