The mission will take place from April 19 to 24, 2020 and the program will feature activities in the cities of Tel Aviv, Haifa and Jerusalem, focusing on the AGROTECH, IOT/INDUSTRY 4.0 and SMART MOBILITY segments.
Why participate in a mission to Israel?
Second innovation hub in the world, Israel invests around 4.5% of GDP in Research and Development (R&D). In 2018 alone, more than US$ 7.2 billion was invested by VC (venture capital funds) in the local market. In addition, Israel offers special conditions for international companies interested in investing in the installation of research and development centers in the country. This incentive has generated concrete results: around 400 R&D centers of multinationals are in Israel, the vast majority of which are actively investing.
On the other hand, the Brazilian government is interested in encouraging the entry of Israeli technology companies into the national market and strategic partnerships constitute an excellent path for innovation and cooperation.
It is estimated that Israel has more than 6000 active startups, including:
+ 500 startups and Agrotech companies
300+ Smart Mobility startups
