Sonovia had a technology for bonding anti-pathogen particles into fabric. Then COVID arrived, and the fabric ended up in face masks sold around the world.
Co-founder Shay Herchcovici and Dr. Jason Migdal joined Cheryl Dorchinsky to explain how a small Israeli company got from a laboratory result to an international commercial business inside a year, with a Q&A at the end. Nine organizations helped promote it.
