Amir Baram convened CEOs of leading defense-tech and startup firms to discuss advancing Israel's weapons independence, maintaining its qualitative technological edge, and strengthening cooperation with the defense establishment, according to N12. Baram stressed that 'weapons independence in critical components is a central goal.'
Defense Ministry Director-General Amir Baram convened a "brainstorming" session Thursday afternoon with CEOs of approximately 20 leading defense-tech and startup companies, according to N12. The discussion focused on advancing Israel's weapons independence, preserving its qualitative and technological military edge, and strengthening cooperation with the defense establishment.
Baram emphasized that achieving weapons independence in critical components is a central goal of the ministry's strategy, alongside maintaining Israel's technological superiority. The meeting reflects ongoing efforts to deepen collaboration between the defense establishment and the private sector.
The initiative comes as Baram continues to lead strategic defense-industry efforts. As The Zioneer reported, he previously met with India's defense minister in New Delhi to discuss bilateral defense cooperation, and recently ordered the formation of an implementation team for the Mor-Yosef reform of wounded IDF veterans.
