Tel Aviv · Israel

Innovation journey · March 2027 · Four days

Israel
Innovation Trip.

Israel runs one of the densest startup ecosystems in the world. In March 2027 we're taking a maximum of twelve decision-makers there.
Four days, three nights, twelve seats. We agree on who comes along in a personal conversation beforehand.

How signing up works

Why Israel. Why now.

Israel doesn't build technology for its own market. It builds for the world from day one.

A few square kilometers hold thousands of startups working on AI, cybersecurity, medtech, agritech and robotics. The home market is small, so Israeli founders look for international partners from the start. Europe is one of the most interesting ones.

That's where this trip comes in. It isn't a tour of an ecosystem, it's a search for starting points: joint POCs, real projects, partnerships that keep running after you fly home.

The trip is planned and run together with our partner Createch-Labs in Tel Aviv. The team there builds innovation hubs that connect startups, creators, research and industry, and they know the ecosystem from the inside. They line up the people who fit your use cases.

The focus

What this trip
is about.

We're looking for companies that don't just want to look around, but want to work with the ecosystem.

New technologies

Access to innovation fields barely covered in Europe yet

From day one

Business relationships

Partners you'll still be working with in two years

For the long run

Projects & partnerships

Working with Israeli startups and companies for real

Soon after

Joint POCs

A conversation turns into a proof of concept that you actually build

Right after the trip

Investments

Possible down the line, but explicitly not the focus

Not the priority

What you get

More than a trip.

A curated ecosystem

We pick the startups and the people you meet around what you're working on. No standard tour.

Meetings with substance

Conversations aimed at working together, not at pitch decks.

Work on your own use case

You bring a real question and take back approaches you can put to work.

Twelve decision-makers

A small group that still knows each other after the trip.

The programme

How the trip
can look.

We build the final programme around the use cases of the people we select. The arc stays the same: understand, meet, get concrete.

Day 4

Sample stops. The final programme takes shape with the people we select and can change.

How you get a seat

Four steps.
Simple and personal.

The first step commits you to nothing. You decide whether to come along after the call.

Register interest

No commitment. You tell us you're interested, that's all the first step takes.

A personal call

We walk you through the trip, the programme and what's possible. You tell us what you're working on and where the starting points might be.

What you are after

Straight out of that call we note down briefly what you are working on and where you would want to cooperate. Two paragraphs are enough, it is not a formal application.

Confirmation

We put the group together so that the twelve seats fit each other thematically, and get back to you quickly.

The trip is open to companies of any size and sector. One question decides: what do you actually want to move with the Israeli innovation ecosystem?

Frequent questions

Good to
know.

What does taking part cost?

4,760 euros per person plus VAT. That covers three nights in Tel Aviv, the full programme with all appointments and transfers on the ground, and meals during the programme. Getting there and back comes on top and you book it yourself.

Who is the trip for?

Companies of any size and sector. What counts is that you bring a concrete interest in working together and are ready to actually build something with Israeli partners afterwards.

Do I need a finished use case?

No, but a direction helps. An open question is enough to start with. We'll sharpen it together on the call and find where the starting points are.

How many seats are there?

Twelve at most. The small group is deliberate: it makes conversations possible that simply don't happen in a travel party of forty.

How does the selection work?

After the call you note down briefly what you are working on. We put the group together from that so the twelve seats fit each other thematically – it is less about sorting people out than about making the room work.

Is this about investments?

Investments are possible down the line, but they're explicitly not the focus. Joint POCs, projects and partnerships are.

When do I have to decide?

The first step commits you to nothing. You register interest, we talk, and only then do you decide whether to actually come along.

What happens after the trip?

The conversations are supposed to turn into projects. We stay on board for the follow-up so the contacts don't end up buried in a notebook.
