Israel is an amazing country, full of creativeness and innovation and also lots of challenges because of the political and tense situation within the region. But that region has always been tense and problematic so, despite that, it is possible to see people from all believing’s, colors, races, and social positions, enjoying life and sharing the same space in a peaceful way. If there is a smart country ranking, Israel would be definitely in the first positions and the cities of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem are also featured for different reasons of course. Tel Aviv is young and vibrant, full of creativeness, freedom, party, fashion and lifestyle. Jerusalem is the center of the religious world with the confluence of thousands of pilgrims, tourists, scholars, and researchers from all over the world. In this episode I talked with one of my Israeli friends that are working with smart cities in the country, Eddie Bet Hazavdi used to work in the Minister of Energy where he was head of the Department of Energy Conservation and Smart Cities.
