Technology and Innovation Conference
In November 2016, top tier economy and government representatives from Israel and the UK will gather in London to take part in an exclusive invite-only high-tech and innovation event.
London’s rich history of business and finance has made it a global hub for business and innovation, as well as a gateway to the European market. In recent years, the city has been undergoing a renaissance, which made it a magnet to entrepreneurs worldwide.
As a global financial hub, London offers fertile grounds for innovative technologies adoption and is a Mecca for scores of Israeli startups. Additionally, there is a considerable number of mature Israeli tech companies successfully listed and traded on the London Stock Exchange.
The conference, held with Bank Leumi, will be dedicated to the evolving Israeli high-tech scene in the capital of the UK and will focus mainly on FinTech, digital commerce and ad-tech. We will also address the shifts in the British and global markets affected by the approaching Brexit, and new business opportunities that may stem thereof.
Following the day of the conference, we have planned dedicated visits to leading companies and meetings between British and Israeli startup companies, prominent investors and executives.
The topics discussed at the Conference will include:
The impact of the Brexit on Europe’s VC ecosystem
5 years of UK-Israel tech cooperation
The deep-learning and the
AI revolution
E-Commerce becomes personal
The next big thing in FinTech
The top Israeli & British
start-ups
Thinking outside the box: the use of creative, innovative and deceptive solutions for cyber security
