About Fay Goldstein - Israeli Industrial AI Market - May 2026

A comprehensive market map of the Israeli industrial AI ecosystem, created by Fay Goldstein (co-founder of Bardin). It catalogs 30 software-first, AI-native companies founded post-2015 that sell to strictly industrial buyers, organized across five layers of the industrial stack: from engineering design AI (spec layer) to machine logic connectivity (orchestration layer). The map intentionally excludes pure hardware, cyber, defense-only, semiconductor-only, and construction-tech companies, as well as firms where industrial is a secondary market. It also highlights established players like Augury and Tulip Interfaces, notable exits, and public market leaders. Part of a three-part series on industrial AI.
