Why Israel?

Innovation Hub

Innovation Hub Israel has one of the most outstanding innovation ecosystems in the world driven by the joint work of public entities, private companies, start-ups, multinationals, academic institutions, the military and venture capital funds, in a win-win scheme where everyone contributes and everyone wins.

Disruptive Mindset

In a small country with no natural resources and in a region of conflict, Israeli innovation has been driven by the formation of a disruptive mindset that makes the impossible possible, that does not accept no as an answer and that finds solutions to problems that seemed to have no solution.

Technologies of the future

From drought and global hunger to climate change, from threats in cyberspace to traffic accidents, the Israeli innovation ecosystem is focused on developing answers and solutions to the major challenges our planet will face in the coming decades.

A nation of overachievers

Located in one of the driest areas of the world, with no natural resources, surrounded by enemies and little export market, Israel had to find a way to turn every threat into an opportunity for growth and become a reference in innovation worldwide.
