“We are entering a defense era and a defense era as opposed to other parts is very interesting: it's delayed, meaning the minute a war starts or a president says he wants a golden dome, it takes few years... defense cycles are very long... and there is no sensitivity to price.”
“I think that the opportunities are across the board in Israel. I think we continue to innovate. We continue to be leaders in so many industries.”
“If you look at the future, you can definitely see that technology is one of the pillars in the battlefield.”
“All these years we're actually working with our customers, with the users where they actually create the requirements and with a very fast feedback cycle we develop our technology, develop the products and solutions and provide it to them.”
“The benefit of doing stuff in Israel for us is first of all, you know, we have a very connection to what we do because uh uh we want to prevent the next 7th of October.”
“So export control is a big challenge and second is working with either end users around the world or partners around the world that are very excited about the Israeli technology. They are less excited about the Israeli branding and this takes uh um a lot of let's say techno diplomacy in order to bring this technology to the international market.”
“The tragic events of October 7th reminded us that national security can never be taken for granted. Since then, Israel's defense sector has experienced an unprecedented boom.”
“We are ensuring the hits compensating both the target movement and the shooter movement and this is the uniqueness of our capability.”
