1 TEL AVIV TECH AMBASSADORS PROGRAM 2 TEL AVIV TECH AMBASSADORS Tel Aviv’s greatest asset as a city is the talented individuals who make up this ecosystem, and we want to showcase them to the world. Therefore, our goal is to promote the startup entrepreneurs who are doing groundbreaking work, internationally. We believe that there is no better way to present the local industry to the global stage than by highlighting the individuals developing disruptive new technologies. This is why the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality has launched the Tel Aviv Tech Ambassadors, recruiting 31 innovative startups who can represent the City globally. They were chosen by a committee of municipal and top industry professionals for their unique innovation, their presentation skills, charisma and their commitment to the City of Tel Aviv. These ambassadors will enjoy opportunities such as strategic exposure to international delegations, international media and participation in innovation conferences abroad. We believe these companies show the world the best that our city and country have to offer, and truly represent the “startup city.” We would like to thank the members of the Tech Ambassadors Selection Committee: Shana Krakowski, Director of the Platform; Gaby Kaminsky, Managing Director of CityZone; Guy Margalit, Director of the Library; Doria Ben-Bassat, Head of Research and Rankings at Tel Aviv Global. 3 Shalom, The City of Tel Aviv-Yafo is proud of its world-renowned technology ecosystem, hosting the most startups per capita or per square kilometer in the world. The Municipality is proud to promote and support the startup ecosystem in many ways, by offering municipal tax breaks for startups, free workspace, open data and even the usage of the city infrastructure as a beta site for experimentation. I am thus very proud to launch the Tel Aviv Tech Ambassadors program, which is yet another step in our commitment to helping our startups grow. The select Tech Ambassadors excel not only in technology, but were also chosen for their outgoing nature, exciting ideas and their commitment to their city and community. As such, they truly represent the Tel Avivian spirit. Dear Tech Ambassadors – good luck! Yours, Ron Huldai Mayor of Tel Aviv-Yafo 4 Shalom! Tel Aviv-Yafo boasts a strong international standing. The Municipality maintains friendly partnerships with dozens of major cities, is a member of important international organizations, is home to a large diplomatic corps and attracts hundreds of journalists every year. In the past decade, the City’s international positioning received another boost, as many international companies set up shop in the city: 85 global R&D centers, numerous economic missions, international conferences and new programs for international students – all have contributed to the City’s standing as an international hub of innovation and entrepreneurship. To further leverage the benefits of this international expansion, the Municipality founded “Tel Aviv Global” – a unique municipal corporation that links the ecosystem with international players and creates value for hundreds of startups, entrepreneurs and organizations. The Tel Aviv Tech Ambassadors constitute another step in many programs that reflect the Municipality’s commitment to the success of its business and entrepreneurship sectors. Good luck Tel Aviv Tech Ambassadors!
