GET TO KNOW TEL-AVIV:
THE NONSTOP CITY OF INNOVATION
Israel’s largest city, Tel Aviv, is a centre for innovation, culture, and creativity. It’s not simply a slogan regarding Tel Aviv as a Nonstop City. Thanks to the city’s stunning beaches, diversified cultural scene, excellent cuisine, and exciting nightlife, there’s always something to see and do.

Tel Aviv has emerged as a central global hub of creativity and technology. The nonstop city is a top travel destination for business owners, investors, international R&D facilities, and innovation centres. The city is ranked by Compass 2015 Global Start-up Environment as the world’s leading start-up ecosystem outside of the US.
Regarding the city’s start-up ecosystem, Tel Aviv is constantly developing and promoting a dynamic, approachable, and innovative start-up ecosystem that draws the brightest and most innovative individuals (second only to Silicon Valley).

With venture capital, seed funds and accelerators, co-working spaces, free Wi-Fi, the Start Tel Aviv competition, international events, major international hi-tech and budding start-ups, and top research and academic institutions, Tel Aviv is an ideal location for entrepreneurship, business development, technology, and establishing connections with prominent figures in the industry.
EASTERN GALILEE: ISRAEL’S FOODTECH VALLEY
The Galilee region in northern Israel is known for its stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. It encompasses rolling hills, fertile valleys, and the sea of Galilee, the largest freshwater lake in Israel. Today, the Galilee is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors with its stunning landscapes, rich history, and diverse cultural offerings.

Eastern Galilee has recently emerged as Israel’s economic centre of excellence and innovation for cutting-edge FoodTech and smart agriculture.
The area is rich in advanced agriculture facilities and has some of the best researchers and research infrastructures in the fields of food and agriculture. It also has a top-notch academy that educates the next generation of researchers and regional leaders who view the FoodTech as a major driver of regional growth.
