Adv. Sharon Artzy, Partner and Head of the Environmental Law, Climate Change, and Circular Economy Department at ABADI & CO., participated in the annual conference of the Israeli Institute for Energy and Environment, Energy Summit 2026.
This year’s summit, held under the theme “Resilience, Independence, and a Regional Future,” focused on a key bottleneck of the digital revolution: the complex intersection between energy security, efficient transmission networks, and the accelerated development of data centers required to support the computational demands of the AI era.
At ABADI & CO., we are active participants in this evolving landscape. Our Environmental Law and Business Licensing team works closely with Israel’s leading data center operators, navigating complex environmental regulation, strategic planning, and licensing processes to remove regulatory barriers and enable accelerated growth.
Adv. Sharon Artzy shared 3 key takeaways following her participation in the conference’s main panels:
- Energy as National Resilience: Yossi Abu, CEO of NewMed Energy, emphasized the strategic importance of continued development of regional gas and energy projects as a pillar of stability.
- Government Incentives on the Horizon: Tal Yashkovitz, Deputy Head of Israel’s National AI Directorate at the Prime Minister’s Office, noted that the state is actively considering incentive schemes for the establishment of data centers as a strategic asset for national resilience.
- Decentralized Generation Solutions: Uzi Zachoach, VP at Noga, Israel Independent System Operator, presented interim solutions encouraging private sector energy generation as close as possible to consumption sites.
At ABADI & CO., we operate as one team, closely aligned with the pulse of the market and technological transformation. We are committed to ensuring our clients are not merely responding to the future, but actively shaping it.
One team. Committed. All the way.
