Israeli innovators brainstorm solutions for Australia bushfires

Some 150 Israeli tech wizards worked all night to come up with the best ideas to help Australia in battling the bushfire crisis. Last Thursday, some 150 Israeli developers and activists gathered in Tel Aviv for an all-night hackathon aimed at relieving the dire situation in Australia.

Called #StandWithAus, the event saw 17 projects materialize by early Friday morning, each meant to ease the crisis in the fire-torn country. [. . .] The hackathon was organized by Impact Innovation Israel CEO Ethy Levy (formerly the Israel Trade Commissioner in Sydney), Apple seeds Academy CEO Dafna Lifshitz and Kinneret Innovation Center CEO Elad Shamir. They were joined by Keren Hayesod UIA.

“The hackathon is a wonderful opportunity to express our appreciation to the Australian people that has demonstrated support for Israel over the years, and to strengthen the Jewish community in Australia,” the event’s organizers said. israel121c
