Sixteen Israeli startups have been chosen to participate in the RoadShow+ event, organized by Calcalist and Bank Hapoalim's Poalim Tech, scheduled for November 17th at the George Hotel in Tel Aviv. This marks the sixth consecutive year for the project, which aims to connect early-stage entrepreneurs (from pre-seed to Series A funding rounds) with leading venture capital investors in Israel through focused one-on-one meetings.
The selected companies represent diverse fields including artificial intelligence, cyber, energy, defense, fintech, food tech, and digital health. Their innovations address areas such as AI agent protection, financial fraud prevention, early detection of equipment malfunctions, and commercial real estate investment management.
Erez Rachmil, Head of the Technological Division at Bank Hapoalim, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "In this year's cohort, we met companies that are not content with integrating into the global market but aim to lead it." He highlighted the impressive technological depth, business acumen, and the individuals behind these startups, expressing confidence in their future success. Rachmil emphasized that while AI accelerates the transformation of ideas into reality, building a leading company requires long-term vision, customer understanding, and opportunity recognition, qualities he sees reflected in Bank Hapoalim's own values and proactive approach.

Among the selected startups are Arbell Energy, developing "solar ink" for energy-generating surfaces; Asadra, creating a food safety management system for SMEs; Cantaloupe AI, building a platform to assess AI-related risks for insurance companies; and Cygnal, which develops anti-fraud infrastructure for real-time communication between telecom firms and banks. Other participants include Livcoin (AI-powered healthy habit gamification), Ghostlayer (AI model-to-hardware adaptation), guaRdF (wireless signal detection for security), Koladin (US class-action lawsuit opportunities), Mikagu (AI for critical infrastructure fault prediction), Neodawn (continuous learning AI architecture), Nerlos (multi-radio communication solution), PlexAI (AI agents for commercial real estate investment), SaolaAI (automation for software testing), Tktide (AI for operational data insights), Ark Security (secure AI agent operation), and xFUSION (AI platform connecting challenges to solutions).
