RESTART IL. ECONOMY LONDON
On the 7 th of October Israel was struck by shock. On the 8 th of October Israelis understood that they have no choice they must pull themselves together, take responsibility and lead a process of stabilizing, change of direction and move towards victory.
This was the case with almost every field of activity. It was clear that Israelis cannot wait – they need to be proactive. This is also the case with Israel’s economy as it faces serious challenges.
Now it is time to take charge and lead a RESTART of Israel’s economy, to renew trust, to revive the spirit of entrepreneurship and regenerate growth, investments and value propositions.
RESTART IL. ECONOMY is aimed at starting this urgent process.
The RESTART IL. ECONOMY will take place in London on December 14th 2023 to enable Israeli startups and entrepreneurs to meet with private and institutional investors – and create investment opportunities in an environment of support and solidarity.
