Forbes Magazine
made a new list of the top 10 health technology companies in the world. Five of
them are from Israel.
Among these is ReWalk Robotics, inventors of an apparatus
that allows people who have spinal injuries that keep them confined to wheel
chairs to be able to walk with the help of a “wearable exoskeleton” supporting hip and knee motion.
In clean technology, Israel outranked every country in the
world in 2014 according to the World Wildlife Fund and the Clean-Tech Group
that compared 40 countries in terms of their renewable and environmental energy
development. Israel is especially good
at water management and in this area is “many levels ahead
of other countries.”
An Israeli company has just signed a billion dollar
agreement to improve water systems and tackle water shortages in Kazakhstan.
“Mekorot will assist the Kazakhstan government in developing the local water
system and establishing a national water company…”
Israel recently contracted with Jordon to send them $15
billion worth of natural gas from the Leviathon energy field over the next 15
years. This is in addition to the $500 million worth Jordan already ordered
from the Tamar gas field. Egypt and the Palestinian Authority also import natural
gas from Israel. (The PA was Israel’s first
customer.)
“The Jordanians turned to Israel because their supply of
natural gas from Egypt had been halted by repeated terrorist attacks on the gas
pipeline
from Egypt.”
And the beat goes on: Legends--Beach Boys; Metal—KISS;
Indie-- Emperor X; and whatever category is Lady Gaga--are performing soon.
