ISRAEL 2022 TECHNOLOGICAL MISSION

At Reddi, we seek to create a more innovative region, and that is why we partnered with Conexión Israel, an Israeli company with more than ten years of experience generating synergies with Latin America, to create the Israel Technology Mission 2022, a comprehensive immersion experience in the innovation ecosystem in Israel that allowed us to learn firsthand about the best practices and lessons learned from the main private, public and academic entities, as well as generate valuable connections with the Israeli ecosystem, distinguished by its innovation in areas such as high technology, medicine, agriculture, computing, cybersecurity and information.

The mission took place between November 5 and 12, 2022, and included the participation of the companies Red ValleSalud, Clinica Campbell, AgroAtlantida, Agrotechnology, Axon-lotl SAS and representatives from Universidad del Valle, Universidad Icesi and Universidad Ean.  

Pero… ¿Por qué Israel?

 

Israel es uno de los países más innovadores del mundo – no en vano es conocido alrededor del mundo como la “Nación Start-Up” y personas de todo el planeta llegan a Israel para conocer el secreto detrás de su éxito en las últimas décadas. 

La innovación israelí ha estado cambiando el mundo a través de los años, siendo responsable de algunas de las tecnologías más disruptivas y revolucionarias en áreas como alta tecnología, medicina, agricultura, computación, ciberseguridad e información. 

A pesar de ser un país con solo 9 millones de habitantes y 73 años de existencia, el modelo israelí y su ecosistema se han convertido en referencia para el mundo entero.

About the Mission

The trip lasted eight days, from November 5 to 12, 2022, with a packed agenda of business visits, conferences, talks and tours specially designed to make the most of every minute of their stay in Israel. 

During the experience we visited leading companies and academic institutions in innovation such as: 

Kinneret Innovation Center: Israel’s leading technology center for agriculture, water, and sustainability. KIC fosters the ideal environment for competitive growth and the acceleration of water and agricultural technologies. By bridging the gap between academic, industrial, and agricultural communities, KIC enables startups and key corporate players to develop advanced technological solutions.

Tytocare: A company dedicated to creating medical hardware and software devices for telemedicine applications. Tytocare is a home-based primary care device.

It features an easy-to-use application and a dashboard that allows the doctor to monitor some variables in real time to provide a live picture and data flow from the patient to the doctor.

The Weizmann Institute of Science is one of the world’s most renowned multidisciplinary research institutions. Recognized for its broad scope of exploration in the basic sciences, the Institute is home to approximately 2,500 scientists, laboratory technicians, and students. Its mission is to express, represent, foster, and promote Israeli innovation, disseminating it both near and far, and through it, to bring about peace, prosperity, and growth.

The Peres Center for Peace and Innovation is an independent non-governmental organization founded in 1996 by Nobel Peace Prize laureate and former President of Israel, Shimon Peres. The Center describes its mission as “building an infrastructure of peace and reconciliation for the peoples of the Middle East, promoting socio-economic development while advancing cooperation and mutual understanding… The programs are designed to empower the populations of this region to actively participate in peacebuilding in order to advance the creation of a real, effective, and lasting peace.”

Biobee:  is a unique company that mass-produces beneficial insects and mites, and implements the technology in agricultural crops; these organisms act as natural enemies and function as biological pest controllers in around 32 different countries around the world.
