January 18, 2026, 11:52 AM EST. Israel's Innovation Authority on Sunday activated its Israel's AI Supercomputer, built by Nebius to speed AI research and industrial initiatives. The system is live and ready for resource allocation, enabling high-tech firms to train large AI models in Israel. In coming weeks, accelerators (graphics processing units that speed AI training) will be allocated to academia as well. The project will provide resources equivalent to 1,000 Nvidia B200 accelerators, with 70% reserved for industry AI model training and 30% for fundamental research. Access is offered at prices below market rates. The rollout will expand as demand grows. Dror Bin, CEO of the Innovation Authority, says the move strengthens Israel's R&D infrastructure and aims to propel domestic AI development and keep Israel competitive globally.
