Ben Zion, CEO of HevenDrones, was born in the United States and immigrated to Israel with his family at the age of 11. The move to Israel deepened his sense of responsibility toward the country and its people, igniting a desire to act on their behalf both locally and globally. During his military service, Ben Zion served as a commander in the reconnaissance platoon of the Kfir Brigade. He shares that his leadership responsibilities and sense of belonging to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) sparked his passion for leadership and entrepreneurship.

This journey is particularly remarkable given that Ben Zion is a Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) yeshiva graduate who chose to serve in a meaningful and combat-oriented role in the IDF. Following his service, he established a blue-and-white defense startup that now supports dozens of families in Israel’s periphery.

After completing his military service, Ben Zion chose to further develop in these fields, integrating the values he absorbed in the IDF with his vision of building an Israeli company rooted in the country’s unique human capital. Combining advanced technology, interdisciplinary collaborations, and a commitment to responsibility, he focused on creating groundbreaking solutions in the aerospace field for both defense and civilian sectors. His passion for innovation and finding disruptive solutions led him to establish and lead HevenDrones. Under his leadership, the company has become a key player on the international stage, offering Israeli-developed solutions to global challenges through advanced technologies.

As CEO of HevenDrones, Ben Zion Levinson drives the company’s technological innovation and growth in international markets. Under his guidance, the company has emerged as a leader in the drone industry, developing groundbreaking solutions that push the boundaries of technological capabilities. The company’s vision is to promote blue-and-white manufacturing, establish an independent production system based on Israeli resources, and strengthen the local economy through technological innovation. HevenDrones places strategic importance on maintaining industrial independence and positioning Israel as a global hub in the drone industry.

The company’s success stems primarily from its outstanding human capital – a professional and dedicated team from diverse backgrounds united by a common goal: to contribute to the state and secure its technological and defense future. In addition to its activities in Israel, the company is expanding significantly in the United States and other countries worldwide, solidifying its position on the international stage.
