What’s the Israeli breakthrough the world needs to know about?

Ahead of Rosh Hashanah 2026, ynet Global is launching a special editorial project celebrating the Israeli inventions, discoveries and breakthroughs that changed the world; we’re inviting readers to help us uncover the stories behind the innovations that transformed industries, improved lives and left a lasting global impact

From life-saving medical discoveries and cybersecurity innovations to agricultural advances, AI, clean energy and technologies that quietly transformed everyday life, Israeli ingenuity has left its mark across the globe. This special ynet Global project will spotlight the people, ideas and breakthroughs that put Israeli innovation on the world stage, and some of the most remarkable stories may still be waiting to be told.
We believe every breakthrough has a story. Whether it's a household name or an unsung innovation, we want to hear about the ideas, technologies and discoveries that made a lasting impact in Israel and beyond. Through this special Rosh Hashanah feature, we will showcase the innovations that continue to shape the future.

Some breakthroughs become household names, while others quietly power the technologies, medicines and systems we rely on every day. From the USB flash drive, Waze and drip irrigation to Iron Dome, breakthrough cancer therapies, water desalination technologies and cutting-edge AI, Israeli ideas have repeatedly transformed industries and improved millions of lives.
That's where you come in.
We're looking for breakthroughs of every kind, not only products and startups, but also scientific discoveries, medical advances, engineering achievements, environmental solutions, defense technologies, academic research, cultural innovations and social initiatives that have changed lives. Whether the breakthrough happened decades ago or is shaping the future today, we want to hear its story.

Tell us what the breakthrough is, who created it, what field it belongs to and why you believe it stands out. If you have a reference, article or source that can help us verify it, we'd love you to include that as well.
