Why We're Building APEX
We're Zionists, and we believe Israel must keep leading at the edge of technology.
From Fast Wins to Future Leadership
Israel leads in cyber-fast wins, clear playbook. To stay ahead, we have to build. We can't afford to fall behind.
Filling the Gap
There is no program connecting Israeli frontier AI with pragmatic, real-world execution. So we built one. This is not just a gap-it's a national vulnerability and a generational opportunity.
Israel's Edge in AI
Israel's advantage isn't data or GPUs-it's elite technical talent with a bias for action. From the army to the startup world, Israelis thrive in complexity and move fast.

APEX empowers Israel's elite tech talent to spearhead the AI revolution. By flipping the pyramid, we use top talent to lift the entire ecosystem and drive inclusive growth, securing Israel's AI dominance.
