Global Corporate Venturing 2018 - Israel | Mawsonia Ltd | 21 March 2018 | Council for a Beautiful , 80 Rokach Boulevard Tel Aviv-Yafo IL, 6153201, Israel

International corporations are rushing to the startup nation, Israel, to meet the entrepreneurial talent emerging out of unit 8200 and a thousand successful prior scale-ups.

However, tackling such a unique and tight-knit ecosystem is challenging, so Global Corporate Venturing Israel will share insights from the locally based Global Corporate Venturing Rising Stars and other senior members of the corporate venturing community.

Corporate venturers wishing to make connections will fly in to meet locally based CVCs, VCs, government officials and universities at this one day conference to share thought-leadership and best practice. Portfolio companies of GCV members in key sectors, from digital energy and storage to cyber and artificial intelligence, will also present their innovative technologies.
