Tel Aviv | March 15th - 18th, 2020
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When it comes to the topics of artificial intelligence, blockchain solutions, FinTech and cyber security, the Israeli startup scene is worth a closer look. Neither Silicon Valley, New York, London or Chinese metropolises have such a high per capita density of startups as Tel Aviv. Israel has become one of the international hotspots of the tech industry.
Join us on the “VDZ Digital Tour Israel” from March 15th to 18th, 2020 and immerse yourself with us in the unique digital ecosystem. In addition to visits to startups that are relevant to the publishing industry, deep-dive sessions and panel discussions with experts are on the agenda to get to know the current core areas of the booming Israeli startup scene.
An investment-friendly government and an excellent education system, particularly in Tel Aviv, are creating an innovative digital infrastructure that is characterized by a strong entrepreneurial spirit, a multicultural society and a tolerant culture of error. The communicatively closely networked companies in the tech oasis maintain close exchanges with international tech giants, especially US corporations such as Apple or Amazon. This production, which is geared towards the global market, meant that Israel had 19 startup exits beyond the 100 million mark between 2012 and 2018. Reason enough to take a closer look at the prevailing mood of founders in Tel Aviv's start-up scene and its importance for German media companies.

The city attracts the best high tech specialists from around the world. Many of today’s commonplace digital technologies were developed or pioneered in Israel. Best examples of how this ecosystem is promoting founders are Taboola and Outbrain, both originating in Tel Aviv.
