Shimon Elkabetz, CEO and Co-Founder. Tomorrow.io (formerly Climacell), the world’s leading weather and climate security platform

Weather Intelligence: Climate Security is the New Cyber Security

As extreme weather becomes more frequent and more volatile, the need for more accurate forecasts in every part of the world becomes more important than ever. However, forecasts are not enough, and we need to put systems in place to adapt to the changing climate.

Mr. Elkabetz will share what is being done to address this massive challenge, what organizations around the world can do to manage the risk of extreme weather events and what industry solutions are created to address the growing concern. Shimon Elkabetz served in the Israeli Air Force for 11 years in several managerial and commanding positions. Multiple near-death, weather-related experiences during his service stoked a fascination with the weather, that little thing that affects us all. He’s also passionate about soccer and can recall any statistic whether you ask him to or not. Mr. Elkabetz holds a BA in economics from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and an MBA from Harvard Business School. He has testified before the U.S. Congress on global climate security and weather intelligence.
