Army veteran Terry Hannigan, a paraplegic, says the exoskeleton from ReWalk has given me back my independence and my life. (Photo by Simone Shapiro)
What Jewish teen hasnt said to himself or herself, I want to find a cure for cancer, or, I want to invent something that will help people, or simply, I want to make the world a better place. The Israeli men and women who presented last week at the Global Venturing Israel: MedTech & Inclusive Innovation Conference didnt just dream, they acted on that dream and brought to Pittsburgh the fruits of their actions.
Global Venturing Israel brought together medical industry companies developing innovative technologies, Pittsburgh business and community leaders, venture capitalists, leaders of the African- American community, professors and students. Alex Spoont, a finance major at the University of Pittsburgh, was one of the students who attended the March 26-27 conference at the universitys Katz School of Business. What stood out among the cutting-edge, life-saving and life-changing inventions, he said, was an exoskeleton from ReWalk Robotics.

-Start wars so that people get paralyzed.

It's almost like a satire of itself.
