Deep Dives into Israeli Ecosystems
JUNE 2020
What makes Israel the Scaleup Nation? Exclusive interviews with Israeli top notch leaders.
“Tourists come to Israel to see the past. Executives of multinationals come to #Israel to see the future”
Israel presents a multifaceted approach to innovation in one location, with a strong government’s contribution. This makes Israel special and unique worldwide. The Israel Innovation Authority – previously known as the Office of the Chief Scientist of Israel’s Ministry of Economy – is the support arm of the Israeli government, charged with fostering the development of industrial R&D also through the collaboration with foreign multinational corporations.
In this Mind the Chat I will discuss with Aharon Aharon, Israel Innovation Authority’s CEO.
How to solve the “Death Valley of Accelerators”?
Traditional corporate accelerators have a bad reputation and it seems deserved. Based on recent analysis most of the corporate accelerators do not produce results for participating startups as well as do not produce material impact for corporates.
In parallel, new models are emerging (hybrid accelerators, venture builders, startup studios). Last month we analyzed the TrenLab Accelerator born in partnership between Spain’s state-run railway company Renfe and a telco (Telefónica). In this Mind the Chat we go through the Kamet model. Kamet is a venture builder launched early2016 by AXA with an initial investment of €100M.
We will analyze what’s special about Kamet in depth with Ravit Warsha, Partner, Healthcare for Kamet in Israel.
In this Mind the Chat we go through the last 30 years of the Startup Nation with veteran investor Zeev Holtzman, the founder and chairman of Giza Venture Capital and IVC Research Center.
More specifically with Zeev we will discuss:
Israeli High tech sector: Importance to the economy, employment,GDP, export, growth , inequality;
Government involvement/support of the high-tech sector: Con and Pros;
Corporate Investors/CVC: Importance and Trends;
US versus China war: impact on High-tech sector in Israel;
Corona: Impact, Comparison to previous crises (2008, 2000) and expectations.
More and more Israeli startups are joining the “big companies” club. This club has been developing steadily through a major -albeit quiet- disruption over the past few years, taking Israeli-founded companies to the next level. The phenomena got an acceleration starting 2019 with a sharp increase of the number of the so called “Mega Growth Rounds (up to 16 from an average of 3 in the prior four years).
In this Mind the Chat we will discuss about the most recent evolutions in the Israeli investment landscape with Natalie Refuah, Partner at Viola Growth.
