Calls for gender equality in Israeli high-tech may help shrink the pay gap

My latest round of video interviews for CTech explored the general state of Startup Nation as we settle into 2025.

As you may have seen in recent weeks, the last month or so has been full of exciting events in Tel Aviv as the Israeli tech ecosystem settles into the new year.

January kicked off with Tech TLV, an annual conference hosted by Calcalist and Bank Leumi celebrating Startup Nation and offering us insights from experts in the year ahead.

Once again, I was there with my mic in hand ready to hear from some of the folks there. As is now becoming routine, I have posted them below for you to see.

Some notable conversations:

• Exploring the power of Quantum Computing

• Examining the gender pay gap in Israel and how to shrink it

• Looking at the Europe/Israel relationship amid rising tensions

• Just how big will the defensetech boom become?
