Aviv

Ministry of Economy & Industry Tel Aviv. September 20th, 2016 – The annual
DLD conference at the HaTachana (Old Railway) Complex in Tel Aviv, taking
place September 24th-29th, has become one of the most intriguing hi-tech
conferences in the world, bringing together the finest minds, companies,
entrepreneurs and investors in the world in one place. One of the ongoing
participants in the conference is the Israel Innovation Authority (formerly
Office of the Chief Scientist). On September 28th, between 14:00 and 18:00,
the Innovation Authority will set up a pavilion to consult early and later
stage companies on support and grants, opportunities for R&D cooperation
with countries in North and Latin America, East Asia, Europe, and more. This
is an excellent opportunity for members of the hi-tech ecosystem to meet
Innovation Authority staff face-to-face and get updates and information.

According to the Chairman of the Israel Innovation Authority, Avi Hasson:
“The Israeli Innovation Authority operates support mechanisms intended to
strengthen Israeli technological innovation, which is a national resource.
The conference is a wonderful opportunity for entrepreneurs and Israeli tech
companies to learn about the Innovation Authority’s support programs and for
companies in various stages to receive consultation. In addition, the
Innovation Authority is eager to supply information on R&D cooperation with
companies from around the world, support for traditional and combined
industries, support for the development of technological solutions in the
field of global healthcare, and more.”

Representatives of different arenas within the Innovation Authority will
participate:

A. Early Stage – this arena supplies unique tools to support tech
companies in their early stages. At the conference, authority staff will
present the tools intended to help startups – from those with a single
entrepreneur to seed-stage companies – with the goal of developing the
company’s initial idea or product to advanced recruiting and sales.

B. Growth – this arena operates a wide variety of programs to advance
technological innovation in mature companies. This contributes to preserving
competitiveness and technological leadership and increasing growth
potential.

C. International Collaboration – allowing Israeli technology companies and
entrepreneurs to better integrate into the global arena and to forge
cooperative endeavors with public and private companies and multinationals
from America, Asia and Europe.
