A Jerusalem cold of 6 degrees today (Wednesday) welcomed the thousands of high-tech people and investors who came to the OurCrowd conference held at the Nation Buildings in Jerusalem.
In the conference, the first held since the signing of the Abraham Accords, representatives from the United Arab Emirates and Morocco participated for the first time.
The conference, which was held after a three-year hiatus following the Corona crisis, was opened by the country's president Yitzhak Herzog, who also briefly addressed the political crisis and the high-tech protest against the legal reform led by the government.

"Guarantees 100 percent effort but does not guarantee 100 percent results," Herzog said of his mediation efforts between the authorities.
The president also said that "we are at a critical crossroads in a national debate about how our democracy is structured. And I think that this debate also reflects the spirit of Israeli innovation."

In a conversation with Israel Hayom, the founder and CEO of the investment platform OurCrowd, John Medved, said that "high-tech has taken a stand, but it's not all high-tech.
There are differences of opinion.
Anyone who tells me they want to transfer money abroad, I will tell them not to do it. Not with my money."
Medved further noted in connection with the political and constitutional crisis in Israel, that "most investors do not know at all what it is about".
