In this episode, we sit down with Elinor Yakobson, a specialist in defense tech, dual-use innovation, cyber, and homeland security, for a candid conversation on what it really means to lead in one of the world's most demanding industries.
In this conversation, we explore:
- What it's like to be a woman in a field where women are rarely in the room
- Israel's high-tech defense ecosystem - home to over 1,200 companies, roughly 600 in cyber and 600 in military, homeland security, and related fields with a significant concentration in drones and UAVs
- What it takes to bridge government, venture capital, and startups in high-impact fields
- Translating national security priorities into actionable innovation strategies
- Building policy frameworks and public-private partnerships that actually move the needle
- Where dual-use technology is heading and who gets to shape that future
This episode is not about surviving in Men's world.
It's about redefining it.
