SUMMITS & EVENTS
U.S.–Israel Tech Alliance, Washington, D.C June 2025
MIND Israel was honored to co-host a track 1.5 dialogue at the AI+ Expo in Washington, D.C., convened by the Special Competitive Studies Project (SCSP) – one of the world’s leading forums on national security and emerging technologies. The Expo brought together 15,000 participants from government, industry, and academia to explore how AI, biotech, quantum computing, and energy tech will shape the future of global power.
The joint U.S.–Israel dialogue, led by MIND Israel’s founder Maj. Gen. (res.) Amos Yadlin and SCSP President Ylli Bajraktari, brought together top voices from Israel and the U.S., including representatives from the U.S. State Department, OpenAI, the Knesset, and leading deep-tech companies. The session explored how critical technologies can serve as a new strategic pillar of the U.S.-Israel alliance—alongside a regional vision linking Israel with Europe, India, and the Gulf.
Speakers emphasized the urgency of a new Technology MOU covering AI, quantum, biotech, and energy, backed by a bilateral deep-tech fund. The dialogue highlighted Israel’s software and defense-tech edge, U.S. infrastructure scale, and Gulf energy capital as complementary assets. Together, these form the foundation for a bold 2030 vision of regional cooperation, resilience, and shared innovation leadership.
As the global technological landscape evolves, MIND Israel remains committed to advancing trusted partnerships that shape a secure and prosperous future.
Munich Security Conference March 2025
MIND Israel had the privilege of hosting a side event at the Munich Security Conference, one of the most prestigious forums in the field of national security. The conference brought together leaders, policy experts, and key stakeholders to discuss the world’s most pressing challenges.
The discussion was led by MIND’s President, Maj. Gen. (res.) Amos Yadlin, and moderated by Dr. Melody Sucharewicz, a strategy consultant and former foreign affairs advisor to the former Minister of Defense, Gen. Benny Gantz. The distinguished speakers included Dr. Ebtesam Al-Ketbi, the Founder and President of the Emirates Policy Center (EPC), and Ms. Hagar Chemali, a former Director for Syria and Lebanon at the National Security Council at the White House, who presented unique Lebanese and Arab perspectives.
The conversation examined how the recent war between Israel and Hezbollah could serve as an opportunity to turn rockets into olive branches. With the diminishing influence of the radical Shi’a Axis and the emergence of a new government in Lebanon, the current context presents a rare opening for progress between Israel and Lebanon—potentially paving the way for the expansion of the Abraham Accords.
Additionally, the discussion explored the prospects of normalization between Israel and Lebanon, considering the waning Iranian influence, as a foundation for lasting economic and political stability in Lebanon. The aim was to spark a meaningful dialogue on pathways to a future where shared interests and economic cooperation between Israel and Lebanon could transcend historical divides.

The Montgomery Summit March 2025
The Montgomery Summit, presented by March Capital, is one of the most prestigious technology conferences in the United States. Held annually in Santa Monica, it brings together over 1,200 leading entrepreneurs, investors, and executives to explore cutting-edge innovations shaping the future of business and technology.
On March 6, 2024, Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Amos Yadlin, president of MIND Israel, participated in a high-level session discussing the geopolitical shifts in the Middle East following the tragic events of October 7, 2023. He presented the perspectives of MIND Israel, focusing on Israel’s long-term security, the Iranian nuclear threat, opportunities for normalization with Lebanon and Syria, and the creation of a viable alternative in Gaza.
Despite these opportunities, Amos highlighted significant risks that could destabilize the region, including a weak nuclear agreement that enables Iran to rebuild its deterrence and resume nuclear development, the proliferation of nuclear capabilities in the Middle East, and the instability of the Syrian regime, which could lead to a resurgence of jihadist factions.
Additional risks discussed included the potential disengagement of the United States from the region, increasing the likelihood of political instability in key allied states such as Jordan, the possibility of escalating tensions in the West Bank and Gaza, and the risk of missing key opportunities for normalization due to unresolved Palestinian issues, which could push Saudi Arabia closer to Turkey.
