Space Florida and the Israel Innovation Authority granted funding on Wednesday to two Florida-Israel partnerships working on AI-powered aerospace and aviation technologies.

MySky Eco, Inc., of Port Orange, Fla., and Airwayz of Tel Aviv were awarded $400,000 to integrate the Israeli company’s AI-powered traffic-management system into the Florida company’s MS-1L aircraft.

SRF Consulting Group, Inc., of Tallahassee, Fla., and Mobility Insight of Kfar Saba, Israel, were awarded $200,000 to “help Central Florida’s busy roads run more smoothly” with an AI-powered traffic-management system called Mobi.

“We are proud to support collaborations that advance shared opportunities and strengthen the enduring ties between our innovation ecosystems,” said Dror Bin, CEO of Israel Innovation Authority.

This marks the 13th round of funding from the partnership between the two agencies, with more than $23 million granted for projects.

The move, hailed by Tzohar as a breakthrough for transparency and competition, was put on hold within hours after the Chief Rabbinate Council said it had not approved the decision.
Despite a U.N. commissioned review calling to end Palestinian incitement to violence in education, textbooks continue to praise violence against Israel.
“The IDF will continue to operate to remove any threat,” the military said.
The U.S. vice president said airstrikes secured shipping and weakened Tehran’s military and nuclear program, creating leverage for negotiations.
The ministry warned that the rehabilitation system could collapse.
The initiative focuses on two strategic corridors: the “Mountain Route” in western Binyamin, linking Jerusalem to central Israel, and eastern areas overlooking the Jordan Valley.
