LIVE EVENT
Israel's largest university, embedded in one of the most founder-dense cities in the world.
Tel Aviv University is Israel's largest institution, with strength across computer science, engineering, life sciences, and management.
It sits at the centre of a city with an exceptional concentration of technology companies and investors, and its student body overlaps substantially with graduates of the country's technical military units.
Israel's ecosystem is defined by cybersecurity, enterprise infrastructure, semiconductors, and increasingly health technology, with an unusually high rate of company formation per capita.
Technical military service functions as a de facto training pipeline, and the resulting networks are a major driver of team formation.
Alumni founders are prominent in cybersecurity, data infrastructure, semiconductors, and digital health.
The density of exits in Israel means many alumni founders are second- or third-time entrepreneurs, which shapes how quickly companies scale.
Israel has a deep domestic venture community alongside a large presence of American funds with permanent local offices.
Corporate research centres operated by multinational technology companies also serve as acquirers and strategic partners.
GCN’s global network includes millions of startups and founders and a broad community of investors, creating opportunities to discover potential connections across university communities.
