Talpiot, founded 1979

Talpiot & the Multipolar World Order | Through Israel’s Talpiot and espionage operations, Israel is able to dominate the high tech sector globally.Talpiot was intended to give Israel a homegrown military edge, but it is also a contributing factor to its edge in biotech, high-tech and academia [ISRAEL21c, 2012].” “The unit also has to help Israel stay ahead of the United States and other large countries with strong militaries [Times of Israel, 2016].”

Talpiot allows Israel to take US technology and hand it to Russia, China, and beyond, with zero repercussions. Its foundation can literally be found in a recent Congressional bill, ‘S.2497 – United States-Israel Security Assistance Authorization Act of 2018‘. By law, the US “shares” technology with Israel all under the guise of ensuring Israel’s national security. https://talpiottalk.com/2018/04/09/talpiot-the-multipolar-world-order/

[Book] Israel’s Edge: The Story of The IDF’s Most Elite Unit – Talpiot by Jason Gewirtz | Israel’s Edge contains dozens of interviews with Talpiot graduates and some of the early founders of the program. It explains Talpiot’s highly successful recruiting methods and discloses many of the secrets of the program’s success. The book also profiles some of the most successful businesses founded by Talpiot graduates including CheckPoint, Compugen, Anobit, recently bought by Apple, and XIV, recently bought by IBM. No other military unit has had more of an impact on the State of Israel and no other unit will have more of an impact in the years ahead. https://www.amazon.com/Israels-Edge-Story-Elite-Talpiot/dp/9652297135

Israel’s Edge: The Story of the IDF’s Most Elite Unit – Talpiot | After the [1973 Yom Kippur] war was over Professors Felix Dothan and Shaul Yatziv proposed a new program designed to tap into Israel’s smartest and most creative young minds. Their idea was to create an army unit where students would learn to fight – but learn to think first. In 1979 the first Talpiot class began with just 25 students.

Cadets for this unit were told when they were drafted, three years was too short of a time for this program. They’d have to enlist for ten years. In order to make it work, the army partnered with Hebrew University to teach the young cadets physics, mathematics and computer science. They were given three years to complete their degrees. It should be noted that the same amount of coursework takes four years for gifted students not in Talpiot to finish.

Members of this unit aren’t just taught to think – they’re taught to think and learn fast.

While studying members of Talpiot are also sent to train with each and every unit in the IDF from the artillery to tank units, to the infantry, to the navy and air force to learn how each unit does its job.

After a few years, Talpiot commanders started adding new requirements to their list for candidates. They didn’t just want the brightest students, they wanted soldiers who could learn together and work together as a team… and young men and women that could lead teams. Finding the right candidates for this unit is now seen as so important it is given top priority by IDF recruiters, even above finding the fighter pilots of the future.

At the end of their first three years the men and women in this unit would then be asked to take their combat and academic training and combine them to help invent and improve all of the weapons in the IDF’s arsenal. During their next seven years of service Talpiots become military research and development experts. Missile defense is high on their list of responsibilities. But they also work to develop new tools for cybersecurity. Talpiots have led the way on this new global battlefield. Talpiots have also been very active in space, developing new satellite systems and high altitude, high resolution cameras that can be used to shoot images that then go to Israel’s intelligence services to help them see what Israel’s enemies are up to.

These soldiers have had an impact on every weapon and communications system used by the IDF and every tool used by Israel’s intelligence community.

In many cases, after going into research and development, members of Talpiots hunger for the field and they are encouraged by the Ministry of Defense to do so. The thinking is nobody knows what a warrior needs more than a warrior himself. …

After their ten years in the army, about a third of Talpiot graduates stay in the IDF, usually in research and development roles. A third go into the academic world to teach while the other third go into business. …

Talpiot has been tasked with keeping Israel a generation ahead of a rapidly strengthening and technologically capable Iran… The unit also has to help Israel stay ahead of the United States and other large countries with strong militaries…” – Times of Israel 2016 http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/israels-edge-the-story-of-the-idfs-most-elite-unit-talpiot-2/

Talpiot: The IDF incubator for Israel’s future CEOs | The top physics and math students in Israel are groomed for dazzling careers through an unusual military training program.

Every year no more than 60 of about 10,000 of Israel’s top-scoring math and physics standouts get accepted into Talpiot, which sends them for undergraduate degrees at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in uniform, followed by six or more years of research-and-development work for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

Inaugurated in 1979, Talpiot has spawned such leading lights as Check Point Software Technologies co-founder Marius Nacht, EarlySense founders Avner Halperin and Guy Shinar, Samsung R&D Labs director Tsvi Lev, Navotek Medical CEO Giora Kornblau, Itamar Medical R&D VP Efrat Litman, iOnRoad CEO Alon Atsmon, TaKaDu CEO Amir Peleg, Trusteer CTO Amit Klein, Kaizen Financial Engineering co-founder Dvir Greenberg, Odysii CTO Tal Reichert … well, you get the picture.
