No pilots? No GPS? No problem! Xtend CEO Aviv Shapira is building the most advanced AI drone systems in the world - and they're already being used in Gaza, Lebanon, and Ukraine. We sat down with Aviv at Xtend HQ to break down: 🧠 How AI pilots can fly swarms of drones autonomously 🏙️ Why GPS-denied environments are no longer a limitation 🛰️ What really happened during the drone strike deep inside Russia 🇨🇳 How China’s drone dominance is reshaping global security ⚔️ And why tanks and fighter jets are becoming... obsolete? Aviv isn’t just another founder in defense tech. Before Xtend, he co-founded Replay Technologies, the Emmy-winning startup behind the FreeD volumetric video system used in the NFL, NBA, and by Intel - which acquired it for $200M. Today, he’s applying that same deep-tech mindset to transform how humans and machines interact on the battlefield and beyond. From AI swarms to drone summoning to replacing boots on the ground, this episode is a front-row seat to the future of autonomous warfare, made in 🇮🇱 Israel. 👇 What’s more dangerous: the swarm, or the country falling behind on building one?

AI Can Write Code. But It Can’t Optimize It. That blindspot? Meni Shmueli built DataFlint to fix it. After years in Unit 81 and deep in the trenches of AI and big data, Meni saw the problem firsthand: GitHub Copilot and friends can generate code, but when it hits real-world scale - production clusters, terabytes of data, performance bottlenecks - they break. DataFlint gives AI the context it’s missing. It integrates with code editors, retrieves actual performance data, and enables AI to write code that runs at scale. In this episode: - Why AI coding tools fail when real data enters the chat - How DataFlint turns production pain into optimized code - What Meni learned about scale, speed, and system design from Unit 81 - Why big data is still a community game — and how DataFlint’s leading it - The future of engineers who know how to code with AI, not just use it If you're into AI infrastructure, data engineering, or wondering where the next big bottleneck in coding will be - this one's for you.

Why do so many talented immigrants leave Israel within just a few years? Abbey Onn, Executive Director of Nevo Network, joins IsraelTech to expose a challenge most don’t talk about: one in three English-speaking Olim leave Israel within three years and it’s often because they can’t find their footing professionally. Nevo is changing that by creating long-term, high-impact support systems for immigrant talent in Israeli tech. Abbey brings 20 years of leadership experience in higher ed and nonprofit sectors, including as CEO of InsideIL. She now partners with Michael Eisenberg (Aleph VC) to build a top-tier professional network for global talent already living in Israel, offering mentorship, cohort-based programming, leadership development, and a deep sense of community. In this episode: - Why career stagnation, not culture shock, is what drives many Olim to leave - How Nevo helps turn potential into leadership - What changed after October 7 and how Nevo’s members responded - Why belonging is the foundation for long-term impact If Israel wants to retain its best global minds, it needs to start with connection. This is how.

While tech thrives in freedom, overregulation in sectors like banking and real estate could drive talent abroad. 👉 The tech boom? A success despite the government, not because of it. Imagine what other industries could achieve if they were freed from red tape. 👉 Alper calls for a radical shift: fewer regulations, lower taxes, and less government interference. 💡 ""If Israel adopts libertarian policies, it could become one of the wealthiest nations.""
