ICT legend, Dr Orna Berry, visits Helsinki
The Embassy had the honor and privilege to host one of the most influential Israelis in ICT, Dr Orna Berry, in Helsinki. In addition to giving a lecture about the Israeli innovation ecosystem at the Parliament, Dr Berry also spoke of her personal journey with cancer at the Arctic15 conference. Her story of surviving cancer and taking something positive out of the experience, ambition to find new ways to better organize medical data, was an encouraging and uplifting reminder of human resilience and ingenuity.
