Keynote Speech – Avi Hasson
summary
Israel claims a mature tech ecosystem but warns growth hits a plateau and the next 25 years must focus on increasing economic impact not just tech. Main bottleneck is people — a projected shortage of over 10,000 specialists in the next decade — so policy ramps up CS/EE enrollment, targets women, Arab and ultra‑Orthodox communities, and opens talent channels: a fast‑track for hires, a new 5‑year entrepreneur visa and about a dozen landing platforms (accelerators/incubators).
