What Jewish teen hasn’t said to himself or herself, “I want to find a cure for cancer,” or, “I want to invent something that will help people,” or simply, “I want to make the world a better place.” The Israeli men and women who presented last week at the Global Venturing Israel: MedTech & Inclusive Innovation Conference didn’t just dream, they acted on that dream — and brought to Pittsburgh the fruits of their actions.

Global Venturing Israel brought together medical industry companies developing innovative technologies, Pittsburgh business and community leaders, venture capitalists, leaders of the African- American community, professors and students. Alex Spoont, a finance major at the University of Pittsburgh, was one of the students who attended the March 26-27 conference at the university’s Katz School of Business. What stood out among the cutting-edge, life-saving and life-changing inventions, he said, was an exoskeleton from ReWalk Robotics.

3. It's a great business model

-Start wars so that people get paralyzed.

-Sell exoskeletons to the paralyzed.

4. Literally everything posted becomes a "hate on Israel" fest for some posters

It's almost like a satire of itself.
