ABOUT
The Israeli tech ecosystem is composed of many players, each plays a role in making Israel a strong player in the global entrepreneurship arena.
The aim of The Ecosystem project is to showcase some of the inspiring personas who make this ecosystem strive, expose their stories and insights, and add meaningful value to a range of readers.
The project contains interviews, photos, and insights from a diverse set of industry insiders on the following chapters: startups, investors, programs, open innovation, academia, communities, hubs, and more. It was impossible to include every one of the thousands of entities that make up this mosaic of Israeli high-tech. Thus a filtering and voting process was used to determine what content will go in the book. As we wanted to ensure that the content that will enter the project will be unbiased and include diverse opinions, we created a judging committee composed of over 20 carefully selected women and men who represent different aspects of the Israeli high-tech ecosystem and are well familiar with it. Their accumulated votes determined who's in the book.
