Moving FourWard: Inside Jerusalem's ambitious bid to reinvent medical innovation
Summary
Jerusalem has launched FourWard, a new collaboration platform linking Hebrew University, Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Azrieli Jerusalem Academic College of Engineering, Lev Academic Center, the municipality, and the Jerusalem Development Authority. The initiative aims to turn the city into a stronger center for healthcare innovation, entrepreneurship, and technology commercialization. Partners plan to use shared space, joint databases, and multidisciplinary teams to develop new medical technologies, including AI-assisted diagnostics, biosensors, and robot-assisted treatment concepts. The effort also targets start-up creation, investor connections, and advanced talent development. Leaders say the platform should help Jerusalem attract research funding, industry partners, and high-skill jobs.
