What can we learn from the Startup-Nation Israel?
This was the topic of the "Meet&Eat" organized by Einstein1 Digitales Gründerzentrum yesterday in Hof where our Head of Innovation & Tech Venturing Ansgar Niehoff presented a talk about The Startup-Nation and its High Tech Startup Ecosystem. No ecosystem attracts more #VC per capita than Israel and Israel boasts the hightest density of #unicorns worldwide.
Two weeks ago REHAU and REHAU New Ventures supported a student excursion of Hochschule Hof, University of Applied Sciences to the Startup-Nation Israel - an unforgettable experience getting immersed into one of the most exciting Startup & Innovation Hotspots in the world.
After the Keynote by Ansgar Niehoff, the students shared their highlights of the trip and the inspiring event was concluded with a panel discussion and encouraged the over 60 participants to mingle with good food and drinks.
"The openness and friendship of Israeli students made one encounter to the best experiences in my life."
"I could imagine to emigrate to Israel to be able to be part of this vibrant ecosystem with its informal go-getter mentality."
These were only few of the inspring statements by the participants of the Israel excursion.
As REHAU and REHAU New Ventures we are very excited to support such a meaningful local initiative to foster entrepreneurship and learn from other diverse cultures and ecosystems. Learning from each other and combining the best of different worlds will be key for sustainable innovations.
