The "Startup Nation." For those involved in digital industries, including AI, Israel is already a place where the world's most advanced digital technologies are born. On the other hand, what surprised us Japanese was its healthcare system, which completed vaccination for over 70% of its population at the world's fastest pace during the COVID-19 pandemic. That's not all. Is it not widely known that Israel achieves high levels of happiness, surpassing the United States, France, and other European countries, or that it has a unique culture that values a spirit of challenge and trial-and-error, stemming from its high-standard education system established since its founding? Perhaps we know nothing about Israel at all. Through interviews and real-world examples, we unravel the present of Israel, a country the world watches most closely. This is a special feature on Israel, realized in collaboration with ISRAERU web magazine.
