Israel is renowned throughout the world as a center of innovation and a high-tech powerhouse – a story well-documented in the 2009 bestseller, "Start-up Nation."
But according to entrepreneur, Middle East expert and author Avi Jorisch, "Israel is much more than a startup nation. Israeli technology today is being used as a force for good, to improve the lives of billions of people around the world."
In this episode of Israel Hayom Insider, host Steve Ganot speaks with Jorisch about his new book, "Thou Shalt Innovate" (Gefen Publishing House), which tells the story of how Israeli innovations are helping solve some of the world's biggest challenges – feeding the hungry, curing the sick, protecting the defenseless and making the desert bloom.
