Breakthrough innovation happens when the right players come together. In Israel’s dynamic Healthtech ecosystem, meaningful progress is driven by strategic collaboration between startups and the ecosystem stakeholders who can truly move the needle: multinational corporations, leading global partners, and investors.

 

The session will explore how these partnerships are formed, what makes them successful, and how to create real value by engaging with the sector’s most influential players.

Led By: Tamar Efrat, Senior Manager, Ecosystem Growth, Startup Nation Central
