Overview
- The Karnataka–Israel Cyber Dialogue brought together state officials, the Israeli consulate and a 10‑company Israeli cybersecurity delegation for technology demos and targeted B2B meetings to identify real partnership opportunities.
- Participants focused on four practical areas—innovation and startups, industry partnership, talent and skills, and policy and trust—with the aim of converting technical talks into joint projects and pilots.
- Organisers will consolidate key insights and recommendations into a white paper intended to guide future state policy and shape follow-up steps between government, industry and academia.
- Karnataka plans to pursue concrete follow-ups that include industry linkages, workforce skilling and academic exchanges with Tel Aviv University, steps that could create new jobs and scale startup solutions.
- The dialogue builds on Karnataka’s 2024 Cyber Security Policy and the Centre for Cybersecurity Karnataka, and signals a push to import Israeli technical know‑how into the state’s large tech ecosystem while testing the feasibility of hosting Cybertech in Bengaluru.
