ARE YOU READY TO DIVE DEEP INTO THE ISRAELI STARTUP CULTURE?

The Swiss-Israel Lean Launchpad programme offers you an insight into the inner workings of the Israeli startup nation. Are you a Swiss digital trust / cybersecurity startup and interested in the Israeli Startup Nation? Then this programme might be just the right fit.

You don’t come to Israel to enter the local market; you come to Israel to connect to the world. Dare to dream of your unicorn venture, practice openness towards risk-taking and tap into a go-global mindset that many Israeli entrepreneurs exercise. This 10-week hybrid startup exchange programme is your access to the lively startup culture in Israel. The programme is based on the world-famous Lean Startup methodology by Steve Blank; a tailor-made programme for the needs of each participating startup. The seminars offered in this programme give you a firsthand insight into the toolbox of Israeli entrepreneurs, including mastering your storytelling and pitching among others. What’s more, the personal mentoring sessions offer your startup the opportunity to connect with Israeli partners relevant to your business.

Thank you for your interest in our programme. Due to the current situation in Israel, all measures related to this programme are temporarily suspended until further notice. Thank you very much for your understanding!
