Sheba also has an innovation hub called ARC ( Accelerate , Redesign , Collaborate ) to enable startups to develop new technologies , many of which are based on Sheba ' s own intellectual property . Currently , there are almost 80 startups within Sheba ' s ecosystem , and Sheba itself spins out about five to seven companies every year . " They are anywhere between early stage to mature companies , and some of them are sold on the market which brings back capital to Sheba and allows us to further grow our innovation platform ," Zimlichman says .
Startups from outside Sheba are also brought in to work within ARC ' s ecosystem . " By doing this we allow them access to some of the other hospitals we work with around the world , and some of our strategic industry partners as well , providing them access to our data for example , which is critical for some companies , especially in the AI field . This allows them to work with us to implement the technology and do proof of concepts or pilots within Sheba and within some of our partner organisations around the world .
" It ' s a 360-degree approach , we have everything that is needed to not just accelerate development and outreach into the market , but also provide them
