Restart IL Economy Conferences Highlights
RESTART IL. ECONOMY BERLIN
RESTART IL. ECONOMY LONDON
RESTART IL. ECONOMY NEW YORK
The RESTART IL. ECONOMY Conferences were initiated to enable Israeli startups, during these challenging times, to meet with private and institutional investors, and present them with investment opportunities, in an environment of economic solidarity and support.
We believe that it is of great and urgent importance to be proactive in face of these challenges, and initiate a restart process to regain investors’ trust, help stabilize the high-tech sector and create an environment of growth and fortitude for Israel’s economy.
RESTART IL. ECONOMY conferences serve as a platform to enable this process to begin and show those who believe in Israel that Israel’s high-tech industry will face any challenge with determination and a spirit of entrepreneurship and will continue to provide opportunities and value.
The inaugural conference took place in London on December 14th 2023.
The second conference took place in Berlin on February 29th 2024.
The next conference will be held in New York on May 1st 2024.
