Skyline Cockpit enables remote operation and supervision of tower cranes from a secure ground-based control center, improving safety and efficiency in large-scale construction projects. This award, presented by Construction News at the 2024 CN Specialists Awards, highlights Israel’s global leadership in cutting-edge construction technology.

Arno's Commentary
When it comes to high-tech, particularly in conjunction with artificial intelligence, Israel is at the top of the list.
Thinking of the future, one realizes that the Middle East is virtually exploding. Saudi Arabia, for example, has a desert development plan with a budget of over $500 billion.
Unofficial sources indicate Saudi Arabia’s intention to develop normal relations with Israel.
In the end, however, what is written in Zechariah 8:23 will be fulfilled: “Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.”
