with the Ayn Rand Center, Calcalist, IVC, Prometheus Foundation and other

As in any other year, the award will be bestowed on an Israeli start-up
company that created a technology, idea or product with exceptional value
locally and globally over the past year in one of the following categories:
- Healthcare and Life Sciences (HCLS)
- AI and Deep Learning Tools (AIDL)
- Industry 4.0 – Industrial Innovation (IND4)
- Transportation and Micro-Mobility (TRMM)
- Personal and Civil security & Defense (PECSD)
The companies nominated for the award are chosen after extensive consideration
by a team comprising of members of the event's partners – from among the
innovative and outstanding start-up companies in Israel in the last year which
meet the criteria of a groundbreaking company in Israel and in the world.
- The Atlas award Prize:
The Atlas Award, which is a sculpture donated by the acclaimed sculptor Richard Minns Z"L, is a statue representing an unprecedented image of the mythological Atlas lifting the world as a token of appreciation for extraordinary achievement. The award is intended to put on the public agenda
the aspiration for creativity, for breaking boundaries and for prosperity – and to express appreciation for the leading start-up company in Israel in the past year. The award valued at 100,000 USD.
