I was delighted to take part in the Demo Day of the Ministry of Economy and Industry and SBA Israel pre-accelerator program.
It was fun meeting and listening to the presentations, following the ideation phase led successfully by Orit Ophir the program manager and a good friend.

I shared the jury seat with Ira Kovalsky a graduate of the program and a successful Edtech startuper at present.
Together, we had the opportunity to provide feedback and support to the entrepreneurs, that hopefully will continue developing their ideas into kickass startups.

I wish the presenters – Uri Ofer, Ofek Okonski Shlomi Kapon Ginadi Bonder, Sharon Hajaj, and Ariel Yaffe – good luck, keep dreaming and pushing boundaries!
Days like these remind me why I love what I do. It’s not just about judging; it’s about nurturing the next generation of innovators and contributing to vibrant startup ecosystems worldwide!

🚀Pioneering the Future: Data Center Incubator🚀

Last Thursday, a group of our incubator’s candidats, had a unique opportunity to visit MedOne’s state-of-the-art facility in Tirat Carmel. It was an inspiring experience for them as well as for our partners from IBM, NVIDIA, and IDE Technologies, who joined us for a deep dive into the cutting-edge world of data centers.

The Data Center Incubator is an initiative of Tirat Carmel Municipality, via It IT² Innovation HUB, MedOne and Sarona Partners VC.
Eli Saig, CTO of MedOne, conducted a fascinating presentation, providing insight into the advanced operations of the data center. We explored the complex challenges of heat dissipation, AI integration, OT cybersecurity, and predictive maintenance, uncovering the complex infrastructure and systems that keep the data center running smoothly in every scenario.
The tour of the premises highlighted just how much precision and innovation go into ensuring sustainability and redundancy, making it clear that data centers are the backbone of our digital world.

💡As the Program Director of the Data Center Incubator, I’m thrilled about the limitless opportunities ahead! With data center investments projected to surpass $1 trillion by 2027, we are at the cutting edge of this transformation. In addition to the above mentioned tech solutions, our incubator supports startups ready to launch their innovative technologies also in areas like net zero, computing, communication, robotics, and physical security.
But it doesn’t stop there, our program also offers professional, business, and technological support, as well as the exciting chance to implement solutions directly at MedOne’s data center and through our global partners.

The future of data center technology is being built now. Together, we’re committed to nurture groundbreaking solutions that will have a global impact.

CanAxAccelerator 2nd cohort at CanNegev

👏🏻 Thank you Esti Fray for a great lecture filled with valuable tips and insights regarding TikTok. It’s the 1st time this topic is presented in my accelerators and its about time! Startups should explore more about it.

Thanks also to Michal Merten for an insightful lecture regarding LinkedIn, which is undoubtfully an important platform for all businesses and definitely for startuppers.

The startuppers of CanAx Accelerator 2nd cohort at CanNegev, learned a lot from both of you and would use your tips to better expose their startups.

💢 Takeaways:
• Your profile is your face, it needs planning and maintenance
• Just get started, make content and start posting!
• Be ready to get some nasty comments, you don’t need to address everything people write?
• Consistency is imperative, continue posting on your page and your audience will build over time?
• LinkedIn is your priority when venturing into the business arena, people usually will search your presence there
• Use professional assistance to get started, although with some time and efforts you will be able to do it yourselves

⚠️ CanAx 2nd cohort Demo Day will take place on Wednesday, January 25th 16:00 at Cannegev Incubator in Yerucham, hosting investors, VCs and potential early adaptors, we’re gearing up for a great show!

We appreciate your support and look forward to meet you again.

MindCET- EdTech Innovation Week 2022

💥EdTech space is sizzling and booming worldwide. Educators, parents, and students have long complained about the one-size-fits-all model of schooling.

Edtech provides specially tailored access, on demand, to content at a pace students are comfortable with, immersing better navigation of resources, multimedia graphics and interactive elements such as Metaverse, allowing a more engaging educational experience. VC investment in edtech startups reached $20B worldwide in 2021, the year responsible for the birth of a 1/3rd of all Edtech Unicorns.🦄

These fact served as basis of Edtech week organized by MindCET, hosting international Edtech experts and audience as well as judging at GESAwards Israel Semifinals at Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.
