I am proud to say that Israel, a country that has suffered from years of drought, was well prepared for such an alarming reality, and does not suffer from any water shortage.
We achieved this through excellence in each and every sector, and today we have sufficient water for both domestic use and to supply to neighboring countries, all monitored by Mekorot, Israel’s national water company.
Since 2020, Mekorot’s innovation department collaborates with the Israeli high-tech community on company operations and holds equity shares in eight startups, which provide solutions for cyber threats big data analysis, and energy management.
