10 breakthrough health techs emerging from Israel

ISRAEL21c takes a look at some of the brightest and best new health startups on show at last week’s MIXiii-Biomed conference.

If there’s one conference every year that is guaranteed to highlight fascinating new health innovations, it’s Israel’s MIXiii-Biomed, held last week in Tel Aviv.

This annual three-day life-science and biomed conference has been running for 17 years and attracts around 6,000 healthcare professionals, investors, engineers and scientists, including more than 1,000 attendees from over 45 countries, who come to learn about the newest developments in biotech, digital health and medical devices emerging from Israel.

The event at the David InterContinental Hotel featured an exhibition sponsored by the Israel Innovation Authority (IIA) showcasing 45 startups developing healthcare products in anything from medical devices to nanotech, biomed and drug-delivery systems.

Future Pharmacies Above Gravity

Space Pharmacies: Real Projects Making Medicine Beyond Gravity

🚀 Did you know there are real companies already making drugs in space — not just sci-fi?

Varda Space Industries is using unmanned capsules to crystallize pharmaceuticals in microgravity. Their first mission produced ritonavir in a form that’s hard (or impossible) to get on Earth. Space

SpacePharma, a Swiss–Israeli company, runs mini‑laboratories on the ISS (modules like DIDO, MOTI), doing tiny but powerful drug experiments in microgravity. Wikipedia

NASA’s “Astropharmacy” is a wild concept: engineered Bacillus subtilis spores stored in space, activated to produce biologic drugs (like peptides) on demand — as needed during deep‑space missions. NASA Technical Reports Server+1

With Redwire and NASA’s In‑Space Production Applications (InSPA), projects like PIL‑BOX are pushing the limit: growing super-uniform protein crystals in orbit. NASA

Even Sierra Space + Merck are collaborating to crystallize monoclonal antibodies using the Dream Chaser spacecraft. The Verge

Imagine a future where AI-controlled orbital drug labs build personalized medicine, return high-precision crystals to Earth, or even manufacture life-saving therapies for space ravers.
