OpenAI and Sam Altman Revolutionize: The Plan for Israel
The artificial intelligence giant OpenAI is establishing commercial operations in Israel and has selected the public IT company Abra as its official partner. The goal is to move organizations from the experimental stage to measurable business results using advanced models.
The public IT company Abra has announced its certification as an official partner (Select Partner) of the artificial intelligence giant OpenAI, becoming part of its international partner network. This significant announcement comes amid reports that OpenAI is currently establishing its official business operations and its first commercial team in Israel.
The OpenAI Partner Network is a global program designed to connect the company's technological expertise with local implementation bodies. The goal is to help organizations overcome technological, operational, and regulatory barriers on the path to adopting OpenAI products and to turn AI technology into measurable organizational impact.
As part of the partnership, Abra will work closely with OpenAI to help Israeli organizations build, deploy, and scale advanced AI solutions. The company will implement models such as GPT-5.6 and tools like ChatGPT Enterprise, while ensuring information security and integration with core organizational systems (ERP, CRM) and cloud infrastructures. Abra promises to translate the capabilities of these models into maximum output for every dollar invested in the technology.
"We are proud to be official partners of OpenAI in Israel. The direct connection to OpenAI will allow us to provide our clients with the most advanced tools on the market and to accompany them professionally from the idea stage to the full implementation of AI agents in the core of their business activity," said Shay Ozon, CEO of Abra.
Yaniv Shoshani, EVP at Abra, also commented on the move:
"OpenAI's decision to build a commercial presence in Israel is proof of the potential of the local market, but the true success of AI implementation is measured by the ability to translate an advanced language model into the bottom line of the business. Our goal is to move companies from the stage of experiments and pilots to business results that are measurable in the field."

Shoshani added that looking ahead, Abra plans to expand its offering of autonomous solutions, develop new solutions based on OpenAI's models, and integrate built-in human oversight into processes, with the aim of leading the front of organizational implementation in Israel.
