Portland Trust Israel launched Oz Ve’Ruach, a program designed to help wounded IDF reservists reintegrate into the Israeli tech workforce by training them in AI and other tech fields. The initiative is currently piloting with 19 participants and plans to expand to 160 next year and 280 in 2028. Ronald Cohen, a British-Israeli venture capitalist, supports the effort, calling it a high-impact investment in Israel’s future.
