Testimonials
Philippe Lemoine, President of the Next Generation Internet Foundation (FING) and Vice-President of the Commission Research and Innovation MEDEF : “In each country and company, a strategic challenge is to build efficient innovation ecosystems. Israel has done it, and the trip allowed us to understand why and how. For the innovation leaders, a way point!”
Windham Loopesko, Lecturer in International Strategies at University of Colorado Denver.: “In the course of three days I meet an astonishing number of Israeli entrepreneurs and institutions officials, and got deep insights into the Startup Nation. I strongly urge all those who are interested by innovation strategies, internationally, to participate.
Bernard Haurie, President of IE-Club worldwide, and Deputy General Manager of GeoPost (Groupe La Poste): “Discovering Business Innovation in Israel is more than a business trip, it is an opening to do business and innovation differently.”
