The Israeli Innovation Authority, in collaboration with various Israeli ministries and the Israel Export Institute, has announced that 20 Israeli climate technology companies will participate in the COP29 Climate Conference in Baku, Azerbaijan. These companies, selected for their innovative solutions in sectors such as renewable energy, water management, and carbon dioxide removal, will showcase their technologies at the Israeli pavilion in the conferences main hub. This participation highlights Israels commitment to addressing global climate challenges through technological innovation. The event, set for 2024, will gather over 40,000 participants, including government representatives, academia, and financial institutions, focusing on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable solutions.
Leveraging its expertise in desert technology, the company developed a novel, non-GMO approach to bolster seeds' resilience to abiotic stresses brought on by extreme climate challenges. SaliCrop's solution can help boost crop cultivation in arid regions, raising yields and elevating the value to marginal lands, turning them into arable stretches more fit for growing food. The result is greater food security for the future.
With its expertise in desert technology, the company created a non-GMO approach to strengthen seeds’ resilience to abiotic stresses, which is brought by extreme climate challenges. SaliCrop’s solution can help increase crop cultivation in arid regions, raising yields and elevating the value of marginal lands, resulting in greater food security for the future.
Demand for ‘climate smart’ crops is rising as farmers battle abiotic stressors from saline soil and drought to heat stress. But breeding new varieties is costly and time-consuming, says Israeli startup SaliCrop, which is approaching the problem from a different angle with seed treatments that can help plants thrive in tougher environments.

Salicrop to Showcase Innovative Sustainable Agriculture Solutions at Morocco Innovation Summit
Israeli and Moroccan organizations signed business and tech agreements at the Connect to Innovate conference organized by Start-Up Nation Central (SNC). The agreements focus on areas like water and energy, agriculture and water tech, logistics, and addressing the shortage of tech talent in Israel with Moroccan engineers and developers. The conference aims to create possibilities that bring together the private and public sectors and help Morocco develop its own tech ecosystem. The event is seen as an opportunity for Israeli companies to connect with the rest of the region and for Morocco to draw expertise from Israel in developing its startup ecosystem. The conference comes after the normalization of ties between Israel and Morocco through the Abraham Accords. The countries have yet to establish full diplomatic ties, but have signed a trade agreement and defense pact, and launched direct flights between Tel Aviv and Casablanca.

Helping grains thrive in increasingly salty soil
Israeli ag-tech company SaliCrop has developed a non-genetically modified seed treatment to address the issue of salinity in crop production. The treatment stimulates an epigenetic reaction to salinity conditions, altering the DNA of the plant without genetic engineering. The company has seen increased yield by 12 to 30% and has expanded its facilities to serve pilot projects in Israel, India, Mexico, and Australia. SaliCrop plans to license the technology to seed producers and NGOs. The company has raised approximately $1.5 million from investors and grants, and will launch a Series A financing round in 2021.
