  "summary": "Three years after the October 7 Hamas attack, Israel's defense tech ecosystem has undergone a significant transformation. The crisis exposed gaps in the country's technological defenses, leading to a more mission-driven approach in the defense sector. The number of defense tech companies has grown from around 160 to over 300, with many working closely with the Defense Ministry's Directorate of Defense, Research and Development (MAFAT). The ecosystem has also seen a shift in culture, with a greater focus on mission-driven work. Israel's border with Gaza, once touted as a model of hi-tech security, has become a testament to the need for continuous improvement in defense technology.",
