The fund has invested in and promotes Israeli startups, including Algolion, which deals with the risk of lithium batteries igniting in electric vehicles by identifying in advance and alerting to the expected danger several days in advance, a period of time that allows the problem to be treated professionally. The startup Ride Vision deals with motorcycle accidents using a 360-degree perimeter camera system that alerts a motorcyclist of dangers and allows him to respond in real time. Siliv, which is developing technology for the use of clean silicone for lithium batteries and allows the travel range to be increased by 40% while maintaining the size of the battery.
