The recent U.S. restrictions on advanced chip exports might have significant implications for the Israeli tech ecosystem, particularly in AI development. As I mentioned in yesterday's N12 News Israel interview, these new regulations could lead Israeli entrepreneurs to reconsider their startup incorporation strategy. "Why deal with these complications when you can register directly in the U.S. from the start?" This shift in policy, which places Israel in an intermediate category requiring special FTC approval for advanced chip purchases, might present new challenges for our thriving AI industry. We should assume that using these advanced GPUs on the cloud will also be subject to this approval. The irony is that teams in Israel have made major contributions to the development of these chips... 💪🇮🇱 #IsraeliTech #AI #Startup #TechPolicy #Innovation https://lnkd.in/dMCccZzB Shay Ringel great article.

Every year, Microsoft Israel proudly hosts thousands of young women on our campuses, inspiring them to explore technology and leadership. We believe that empowering them through education today shapes the female executives, innovators, and entrepreneurs of the future. Through collaborations with incredible organizations such as QueenB, Benetivei Udi - בנתיבי אודי, the Cyber Education Center, Appleseeds | עמותת תפוח, Shavot - שוות, and more, we're committed to sparking curiosity, building confidence, and opening doors for young women to pursue impactful careers in academia and the tech industries. We're inspired by the growing momentum in Israel: from 2016 to 2023, the number of girls taking advanced-level computer science exams increased by an impressive 77%, outpacing the growth rate among boys. Additionally, in the past decade, the number of female students pursuing tech-related degrees has doubled. That's progress we can all feel optimistic about. As we celebrate International Women's Day, I'm reminded of the incredible potential I see in each young woman stepping onto our campuses. Our role is to support, inspire, and equip them with what they need to create a world we all want to see. #IWD25

I was recently asked by Walla to share a tip for early-stage entrepreneurs, as part of an article featuring 10 commandments from experienced founders.  Here’s what I shared: 💡 Focus on a real, significant problem – one that’s worth the startup journey. Entrepreneurship is a demanding, long, and sometimes exhausting journey. To stick with it over time, you need to know why you’re getting out of bed in the morning – and most importantly, what problem you’re determined to solve. Don’t fall in love with technology or a cool idea. Fall in love with a real, meaningful problem - one that affects many people or organizations and echoes across a large market. Only a solution that delivers real value to a painful problem will attract customers, employees, and investors - and keep you going as a founder. The deeper the problem and the more precise your solution, the more likely you are to create real impact – not just a nice product. A strong startup doesn’t begin with a brilliant idea, but with a sharp understanding of an unmet need that can’t be ignored.

The best career advice I recently gave? Telling my daughter not to study computer science. As a CS graduate from the Technion and the CEO of a software company, I’ve seen firsthand how the landscape has changed. AI is automating many tasks, reducing the need for traditional engineering roles, and academia hasn’t fully adapted to the demand for more practical, cross-disciplinary skills. While a CS degree still opens doors, the future belongs to those who can apply technology in new ways—blending it with business, psychology, and problem-solving. That’s why I encouraged my daughter to focus on what sets her apart: critical thinking, adaptability, and understanding how tech shapes the world. The next generation of creators won’t just write code—they’ll redefine how technology is used. https://lnkd.in/d3WC3Byq
