Ashdod Port Showcases Israeli Innovation as Conbo Signs Major Deal with Singapore’s Jurong Port

Under the agreement, Jurong Port acquired Conbo’s technology, which transforms existing security camera infrastructure into a network of real-time operational sensors and digital twins, enabling ports to generate new operational intelligence from existing infrastructure.

The agreement, signed during TOC Asia 2026, marks a significant achievement for Ashdod Port’s innovation and Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) activities, as well as for the technology companies operating within its innovation ecosystem. It also demonstrates the potential of Israeli technology, developed and tested in a live operational environment at an Israeli port, to successfully enter the international port market.

In parallel with the agreement, Ashdod Port and Jurong Port are exploring a potential collaboration to develop a new Terminal Operating System (TOS) designed for general cargo and bulk cargo operations.

Under the proposed collaboration, Conbo’s technology would enhance and complement the operational data fed into Jurong Port’s TOS by generating real-time operational intelligence from the port’s existing camera infrastructure.

This collaboration could lead to the development of a new technology solution combining TOS capabilities with Conbo’s computer vision technology, with the potential to offer the integrated solution to additional ports worldwide.

The initiative could enable Israeli technology, already deployed at Ashdod Port, to evolve into an internationally scalable solution addressing cargo management and operational challenges across global port markets.

Ashdod Port’s Maritime Tech Hub was selected to present its innovation activities at TOC Asia 2026, held this week in Singapore, one of the world’s leading hubs for international trade, shipping, and maritime logistics, and a major gateway to the Asia-Pacific region.

Participation in the conference positioned Ashdod Port at the forefront of the international dialogue on the Port of the Future, technological innovation, and smart, resilient supply chains.

As part of the conference, Ashdod Port hosted the main networking reception, attended by Israel’s Ambassador to Singapore, Yahal Vilan, alongside senior executives from the global port and shipping industries, venture capital representatives, and executives from companies and startups specializing in maritime innovation.

For Ashdod Port, participation in the conference forms part of a broader strategic initiative to expand international partnerships, strengthen business relationships with leading global industry players, and increase the visibility of the port’s innovation activities within the global maritime ecosystem.

Alongside Ashdod Port’s delegation, three prominent startups from the port’s Maritime Tech Hub portfolio participated in the conference. The companies are at various stages of growth and investment, and their technologies have already been implemented in the port’s day-to-day operations.

Spinframe Technologies develops AI-powered solutions for automated visual scanning and inspection, as well as the creation of digital twins of vehicles throughout the logistics supply chain.

HyphaPower develops an intelligent, integrated platform for Total Port Electrification, designed to stabilize energy flows, reduce electricity consumption, and provide modular energy storage solutions for cranes and other cargo-handling equipment.

The presentation of these technologies at the international conference, together with the agreement signed between Conbo and Jurong Port and the joint exploration of a TOS solution for general and bulk cargo, demonstrates the connection between Israeli innovation and the real-world operational challenges facing major ports worldwide.

These are not merely technologies being tested in laboratory environments. They are solutions already deployed in live port operations, commercially adopted by international ports, and designed to address the evolving needs of global trade and logistics.

Shaul Schneider, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Ashdod Port:

“International maritime trade today demands flexibility, resilience, and a long-term vision. As a strategic national asset, we have a responsibility to lead a technology-driven strategy that establishes new standards across the supply chain.

Nissan Levy, CEO of Ashdod Port: “The operational capabilities of tomorrow must already be shaping the reality on the ground today. At Ashdod Port, we are integrating breakthrough technologies directly into our operational systems.

Combining reliable infrastructure with innovative technologies developed by startups enables us to offer advanced solutions to the global supply chain. These solutions prove their value every day and provide the essential resilience required to sustain port operations.”

Roy Avrahami, Head of Ashdod Port’s Innovation Hub, who participated in a panel discussion at the conference: “We cannot predict the future, but we can build a port that is prepared for it.

The Port of the Future is not necessarily the port with the most advanced technology today, but rather one designed from the outset with the flexibility to adapt, evolve, and learn. Technology alone does not drive a port forward. It is the employees and operational teams who are at the heart of the transformation and who make change happen.
