Why We're Building APEX

We're Zionists, and we believe Israel must keep leading at the edge of technology.

  • Israel's Cybersecurity Leadership

    Israel is widely recognized as the world's leader in cybersecurity. AI is the next frontier, and we can't afford to fall behind.

  • Filling the Gap

    There was no program connecting Israeli frontier AI with pragmatic, real-world execution. So we built one.

  • Israel's Edge in AI

    Israel's edge in AI isn't access to GPUs or data—it's deep technical talent with a bias for action.
