The 7th annual OurCrowd Global Investor Summit on February 13, 2020, in Jerusalem, Israel

December 17, 2019 By admin Leave a Comment

OurCrowd, the global venture investing platform and Israel’s leading venture investor, will host the seventh annual OurCrowd Global Investor Summit on February 13, 2020, in Jerusalem, Israel. The largest tech investment conference in the world, the Summit will also be the largest business event in Israel’s history. This year, some 20,000 are expected to register for the event.

OurCrowd Founder & CEO Jon Medved said, “The OurCrowd Global Investor Summit is the premier showcase of Israeli technology, and a golden opportunity for the entire ecosystem to meet and get business done. We have seen long-term strategic partnerships and hundreds of millions of dollars of investment emerge from the meetings and events at the Summit. It’s no wonder so many of our participants are repeat attendees.” In fact, 72% of applicants to the 2020 Summit registered to attend a previous Summit.

This year’s theme is “Startups: Going Beyond,” reflecting the breathtaking potential of startup technologies to push the limits of what’s possible. From AR-assisted brain surgery to AI that warns of natural disasters to a brain-computer interface that treats spinal cord injuries, startups are creating astonishing solutions to old problems, overturning industries, and changing people’s lives for the better.

The Summit Day agenda will include:

– “Feeding the Planet Without Killing It,” exploring breakthrough advances in AgTech and FoodTech
– “Power to the People: The FinTech Revolution,” focusing on startups providing unprecedented tools for personal financial empowerment
– “Managing the Hype Cycle,” teaching investors to identify real market trends from the marketing hype
– “Is Three a Crowd? The Israel-U.S.-China Conundrum,” understanding how politics may affect the international tech landscape

Among the 100+ leading Startups participating are:

Sight Diagnostics: this “anti-Theranos” fingerprick blood tester was recently FDA cleared

AlphaTau: their clinical trials destroyed 80% of solid cancer tumors treated in days

Climacell: building a network of advanced climate data centers for the developing world

Beyond Meat, whose successful IPO last year broke performance records

Hailo, with the world’s fastest AI accelerator chip for the edge and IOT devices

RideVision, saving lives with a Mobileye-like solution for motorcycles

The Summit also provides an extraordinary preview of future startup success. Thirteen startups that appeared onstage at the past four Summits experienced a notable acquisition or IPO within a year. Of the companies featured on the mainstage alone, six achieved major exits within three months.

Leading business leaders will address the Summit, including

Jun Sawada, CEO of NTT (Japan), third largest telecom company in the world, and Japan’s biggest
Ronald Kruszewski, Chairman and CEO of Stifel Financial Corp., one of the US largest financial services company which recently invested in OurCrowd
Seth Goldman, Chairman of Beyond Meat, an OurCrowd investment that had 2019’s best performing IPO

In addition to the Thursday Summit, the Summit Week will also feature over 30 associated events, VC forums, conferences, parties, and touring opportunities, providing a unique insider’s look at the innovation ecosystem in Israel for the thousands of visitors from abroad.

“This is a wonderful, huge platform and investor summit focusing on startups and their impact on the global scene,” said H.E. Pavan Kapoor, Indian Ambassador to Israel.

“The conference was phenomenally well done, and we had great opportunities to meet with the best companies,” said Storm Duncan, Joint Global Co-Head of Technology Mergers & Acquisitions, Jefferies. “We consider OurCrowd a key partner, the companies in attendance as great potential partners, and Israel a major focus for our brand. The entire team were phenomenal every second of each day.”

Visitors will also enjoy a deep dive into the history, culture and vibe of Israel, including the nightlife of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The Summit is capped by the Shuktech afterparty, which turns Jerusalem’s historic and atmospheric Machaneh Yehudah market into a hip mashup of music, food, drink and tech. Additional cultural and entertainment opportunities will be available throughout the week, with nightly activities involving great food, drink and networking with the global investor and entrepreneurial crowd.
