Intel and FOX Sports unveiled a 360-degree “Be the Player” replay technology giving viewers an unprecedented, immersive player’s-eye view on the football championship. The groundbreaking technology was first developed in Israel by eight-person Replay Technologies in collaboration with Intel, which then developed it further with a large team after buying the 3D video technology startup in March 2016 as the cornerstone of its new Intel Sports Group.

Photo courtesy The California-based multinational has been supporting and acquiring Israeli companies since 1974. “Many of Intel’s core products are developed in Israel,” said Joel Fisch, director of Intel Sports Group’s Technology Collaborations, speaking at a press event at the OurCrowd Global Investor Summit in Jerusalem on February 16. Representatives of some 200 multinationals were there to scout out Israeli talent and build on existing relationships. “Our role is to identify new and disruptive technologies that we often find in Israeli startups. One needs to be very cognizant of mutual benefit apparent to both sides,” said Fisch. The Project Alloy VR headset, introduced at CES 2017 in Las Vegas, was created at Intel Haifa using Israeli-developed 3D vision technologies from Omek and Envision, which became the foundational technologies in Intel RealSense. Intel paved the way for many American multinationals that regularly incorporate Israeli tech. A late player to the game, Apple, only this week announced its fourth acquisition in Israel as it bought RealFace Technology, a leading developer of facial-recognition tech. US chipmaker Analog Devices and China’s Changhong recently teamed up to put the SCiO mini spectrometer from Israeli company Consumer Physics inside the world’s first molecular sensing smartphone allowing users to analyze everything from foods to gems. Entrepreneurial agility “Ultimately, in order to survive, a small startup will have to connect or interface with a large multinational,” said former Replay COO Aviv Shapira, now senior director of operations and production at Intel Sports Group. But the connection will bear fruit only if the startup offers something of outsized value to its American partner. A large number of Israeli innovations consistently do just that. New Jersey-headquartered medical-devices and life-sciences company Becton Dickinson (BD) “has been actively involved with many startups in Israel,” said Yuri Haverman, BD head of strategic innovation. “Israeli companies are driving the Massachusetts economy and it’s a proxy for what’s happening in cities all over the United States.” “Big corporations like ours are looking at the entrepreneurial agility of Israeli startups that are able to come up with very technologically deep solutions to important problems, and do it fast. What we bring to the table is scale and infrastructure. It’s a perfect combination,” Haverman said. Aiming to reduce the “huge burden” of medication errors, BD’s latest Israeli collaboration is with MedAware, which uses machine-learning algorithms and large-scale electronic medical records data to identify prescription medicine errors in real time. Innovative Israeli technology companies boost investment, jobs and growth not only within US-based multinational companies but also within individual states.

According to the 2016 Massachusetts-Israel Economic Impact Study, 216 businesses in greater Boston have at least one Israeli-born founder. In 2015, those companies booked $9 billion in revenue and had an overall economic impact of twice that amount, including 27,000 jobs generated and $400-500 million in venture capital brought into the state. Since 1999, acquisitions and collaborations across Massachusetts- and Israeli-founded companies — including giants such as Boston Scientific, Raytheon and Dell EMC — have totaled over $10 billion. “A small country having such a huge impact half a world away is extraordinary,” says David Goodtree, a board member of MassChallenge Israel and the New England-Israel Business Council and an OurCrowd global venture partner. Goodtree holds up Argo Medical Technologies’ ReWalk as a prime example. The very successful Israeli developer of a robotic exoskeleton for paraplegics opened its US manufacturing, sales and service headquarters in Marlborough, Massachusetts, in October 2012 with a former Boston Scientific executive as its CEO. US veteran Robert Woo, paralyzed in a freak construction accident, shows off the ReWalk 6.0 version of the Israeli-made exoskeleton system that has given him a second chance to walk again.

OurCrowd CEO Jon Medved says this phenomenon has indeed spread way beyond New York and California, where scores of Israeli-founded companies have set up shop. Ohio, Michigan, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Vermont and Florida are among many US states actively hosting and courting Israeli companies, and the list is growing constantly. “Israel is really becoming the hub for creating jobs and making money together,” said Medved. “And as we move into more frontier technologies, Israel’s place in innovation will strengthen.” Read more on: Technology, Innovation, OurCrowd, israeli startups, Replay Technologies, Intel Haifa, Consumer Physics, Rewalk MORE ABOUT TECHNOLOGY Wine grapes are one of the specialty crops for which FieldIn is designed.

Les multinationales mammouths américaines dépendent de l’ingéniosité des petites entreprises israéliennes pour faire avancer leurs activités.

Par Abigail Klein Leichman 

Pour comprendre l’impact fort et croissant des start-up israéliennes sur la technologique américaine, prenez comme exemple ce mois du Super Bowl LI.

Intel et FOX Sports ont dévoilé une technologie de relecture « Be the Player » à 360 degrés, offrant aux téléspectateurs une vision immersive des joueurs lors du championnat de football.

Cette technologie révolutionnaire a été développée en Israël par un groupe de huit personnes de Replay Technologies en collaboration avec Intel, qui a acheté la start-up de la technologie vidéo 3D en Mars 2016 devenue la pierre angulaire de son nouveau groupe Intel Sports.

La multinationale californienne a soutenu et acquis des entreprises israéliennes depuis 1974.

« Beaucoup de produits de base d’Intel sont développés en Israël », a déclaré Joel Fisch, directeur d’Intel pour le développement d’innovation d’écosystème d’EMEA, à un événement de presse au sommet d’investisseur global OurCrowd à Jérusalem le 16 février. Des représentants de quelque 200 multinationales étaient là pour scout Talent israélien et s’appuyer sur les relations existantes.

« Notre rôle est d’identifier les technologies nouvelles et influentes que nous trouvons souvent dans les startups israéliennes. Il faut être très conscient des avantages mutuels apparents aux deux côtés »,

a déclaré Fisch.

Ainsi, le casque Project Alloy VR, présenté au CES 2017 à Las Vegas, a été créé à Intel Haïfa en utilisant des technologies de vision 3D développées en Israël par Omek et Envision, qui sont devenues les technologies de base d’Intel RealSense.

Intel a ouvert la voie à de nombreuses multinationales américaines qui incorporent régulièrement la technologie israélienne.

Apple s’y est mis aussi, bien que tardivement, et a annoncé justement cette semaine sa quatrième acquisition en Israël, en achetant RealFace Technology, un développeur leader de la technologie de reconnaissance faciale.

Le fabricant américain de puces Analog Devices et le chinois Changhong se sont récemment associés pour incorporer le spectromètre SCiO mini de la société israélienne Consumer Physics à l’intérieur du premier smartphone de détection moléculaire au monde, permettant aux utilisateurs d’analyser tout, des aliments aux gemmes.

Agilité entrepreneuriale

« En fin de compte, afin de survivre, une petite start-up doit se connecter avec une grande multinationale », a déclaré l’ancien Replay COO Aviv Shapira, maintenant directeur principal des opérations et de la production à Intel Sports Group.

Mais la connexion ne porte ses fruits que si le démarrage offre quelque chose de valeur hors de prix à son partenaire américain. Un grand nombre d’innovations israéliennes font constamment cela.

Becton Dickinson (BD), société dont le siège social est situé dans le New Jersey, a participé activement à de nombreuses start-up en Israël, a déclaré Yuri Haverman, responsable de l’innovation stratégique chez BD.

« Les entreprises israéliennes sont le moteur de l’économie du Massachusetts et c’est un proxy pour ce qui se passe dans les villes partout aux États-Unis. »

« Les grandes entreprises comme la nôtre se tournent vers l’agilité entrepreneuriale des start-up israéliennes qui sont capables de trouver des solutions très technologiquement profondes à des problèmes importants et de le faire rapidement. Ce que nous apportons à la table est l’échelle et l’infrastructure. C’est une combinaison parfaite « , a déclaré Haverman.

Afin de réduire le «fardeau énorme» des erreurs de médicament, la dernière collaboration israélienne de BD est avec MedAware, qui utilise des algorithmes d’apprentissage automatique et des données de dossiers médicaux électroniques à grande échelle pour identifier les erreurs en médecine de prescription en temps réel.

Des entreprises technologiques innovantes israéliennes stimulent les investissements, les emplois et la croissance non seulement dans les multinationales américaines, mais aussi au sein d’un même État.

Jetez un oeil à ce qui se passe dans le Massachusetts.

Selon l’étude d’impact économique 2016 Massachusetts-Israël, 216 entreprises dans la grande Boston ont au moins un fondateur né-israélien.

En 2015, ces sociétés ont enregistré des recettes de 9 milliards de dollars et ont eu un impact économique global de deux fois ce montant, y compris 27 000 emplois générés et 400 à 500 millions de dollars en capital de risque apportés à l’État.

Depuis 1999, les acquisitions et les collaborations entre les sociétés fondées sur le Massachusetts et les sociétés israéliennes – y compris des géants tels que Boston Scientific, Raytheon et Dell EMC – ont totalisé plus de 10 milliards de dollars.

«Un petit pays qui a un tel impact à un demi-million de personnes est extraordinaire», déclare David Goodtree, membre du conseil d’administration de MassChallenge Israel et du New England-Israel Business Council et d’un partenaire mondial de OurCrowd.

Goodtree soutient ReWalk Argo Medical Technologies comme un excellent exemple. Le développeur israélien très prospère d’un exosquelette robotique pour paraplégiques a ouvert son siège américain de fabrication, de vente et de service à Marlborough, Massachusetts, en octobre 2012 avec un ex-directeur scientifique de Boston comme son PDG.

Le gouverneur du Massachusetts Charlie Baker a récemment dirigé une délégation commerciale de haut niveau pour trouver de nouveaux partenariats en Israël – le seul pays dans lequel il a fait un tel voyage.

«Les entreprises israéliennes sont à l’origine de l’économie du Massachusetts et c’est une approximation de ce qui se passe dans les villes partout aux États-Unis», explique Goodtree.

Jon Medved, notre PDG de Crowd, affirme que ce phénomène s’est effectivement répandu au-delà de New York et de la Californie, où des dizaines d’entreprises fondées par Israël se sont installées.

L’Ohio, le Michigan, l’Alabama, la Géorgie, la Caroline du Sud, le Vermont et la Floride font partie des nombreux États américains qui accueillent et courtisent activement des entreprises israéliennes.

« Israël devient vraiment le moyeu pour créer des emplois et gagner de l’argent ensemble »,

a déclaré Medved.

«Et à mesure que nous adopterons des technologies plus avancées, la place d’Israël dans l’innovation se renforcera.»
