Organized by the Milken Innovation Center, the "Time to Build" panel convenes policymakers and financiers to detail Israel's strategy for accelerating economic recovery while de-risking the high-tech sector following the October 7 attacks. The session highlights resilience metrics such as the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange's outperformance during wartime, alongside new regulatory initiatives like Yozma 2 and blended finance models designed to mobilize domestic capital and diversify away from foreign dependency. By integrating underrepresented populations into the labor market and leveraging AI for reconstruction, the panel frames a generational opportunity to transform the national economy through a coordinated public-private-philanthropic approach.
