Start-Up Nation Central – your partner for Israeli innovation

We connect business, government, and NGO leaders from around the world to Israeli innovation, through highly customized business engagements, and through Start-Up Nation Finder – an easy to use, up-to-date, free online platform for discovering and connecting with thousands of relevant innovators.
We identify technological sectors with high-growth potential, and help them develop to maturity. We currently focus on the Digital Health, AgriFoodtech and Industry 4.0 sectors, exposing them to global audiences, helping them develop practical tools, attracting investors, and establishing and nurturing tech communities to increase collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and skill expansion.

We accumulate knowledge and generate in-depth insights about Israel’s innovation sector, and share these findings with our clients and partners.
