Israel has launched a $1.96 million (NIS 7 Mn) initiative to recruit 200 AI experts for Israeli startups. This initiative is part of Israel's National AI Program and aims to address the global shortage of AI professionals.

Organizations like Nish Hitech, which works with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Gvahim in partnership with The Jewish Agency, and ScienceAbroad in collaboration with Nefesh B’Nefesh will manage the recruitment, placement, and integration processes.

Israel, which ranks among the top 10 ecosystems for AI, has earmarked NIS 7 million ($1.96 million) to bring in at least 200 foreign experts over the next three years to help the country keep pace with the fast development and adoption of AI models around the globe.

It's a significant step towards bolstering Israel's position as a global leader in AI innovation.

The Israel Innovation Authority, which is leading the initiative, has highlighted the critical need to expand Israel's AI talent pool to maintain its leadership in the field. The program is part of a broader strategy to address the shortage of skilled AI professionals in the country.

Several organizations are involved in managing the recruitment, placement, and integration processes. These include Nish Hitech, Gvahim in partnership with The Jewish Agency, and ScienceAbroad in collaboration with Nefesh B’Nefesh. The initiative aims to attract top-tier talent from around the world, including foreign professionals, returning Israeli citizens, and individuals eligible under the Law of Return.

The Israel Innovation Authority has also launched a tender worth NIS 10 million to attract foreign AI experts with advanced degrees and substantial industry experience. This move is designed to enhance the capabilities of Israeli high-tech companies and ensure long-term growth and innovation in the sector.
