Start-Up Nation Central We Spark Opportunities
There’s an elusive spark that occurs when those with problems find those with solutions. It’s the spark of an opportunity. An A-ha! moment. The light being turned on in the tunnel. Global corporations, NGOs and governments face many challenges. They know that solutions often exist outside, frequently in start ups. The Israeli start up community is arguably the world’s most advanced, but it can be very difficult to navigate. How does one find start ups with relevant solutions? Where does one even start looking? Start Up Nation Central creates sparks between global corporations, NGOs and governments and the Israeli innovation engine, finding solutions to their most pressing challenges. Think of us as your gateway and the GPS.
We search for problems around the world and leverage our deep knowledge of Israeli innovation and our unique capabilities to put this engine to work. We design highly customized engagements for government, NGOs and business leaders, connecting them to the innovative solutions they need. We also fuel this innovation engine, helping people and technologies grow and develop, and convene thought leaders to help design policies that support this engine. We are a non-profit. We don’t have a commercial agenda – our only goal is to create value by facilitating great partnerships that lead to innovative solutions of difficult problems. Put us to the test. Let us create a spark for you.
