Global Entrepreneurship Week in Israel is being celebrated with approximately 400 events across the country.
GEW Israel started at the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange as GEW Israel host Ayla Matalon (MITEF) and members of the GEW Israel board Igal Rotem (Credorax), Noam Band (Algomizer), Micki Scheinback (AfterDox), Amnon Neubach (Chairman of the Board of TASE) and Hani Shitrit-Bach (Senior VP and Head of Economics Department) pressed the “start-of-trade” button on Sunday morning.
Entrepreneurship on Tap, one of the signature events of GEW Israel, is now taking place in 12 locations in Tel Aviv and surrounding districts throughout the week. The event originated from Tel Aviv in collaboration with Tel Aviv University and Tel Aviv Municipality a few years ago. The event is all about networking in a friendly, but not overcrowded, atmosphere, with the right ratio of entrepreneurs to investors. The main topics of discussion include lessons learned, methodologies and challenges.
The Times of Israel covered the start of GEW.
