The rapid growth of the NYC tech ecosystem over recent years has been exciting and inspiring. While it’s clear that NYC has become a top destination for Israeli entrepreneurs looking to expand to the US market, the ecosystem has yet to produce many unicorns. Is it a question of time or simple temporary hype around the value of the NY tech ecosystem?
Join us for a panel discussion on this topic and on why Israeli startups are opening shop in the Big Apple.
Hosted by ICONYC labs in collaboration with TLV Partners, Deloitte's Innovation Tech Terminal and WeWork, this event will provide a rare opportunity to connect with the best from the NYC and TLV Ecosystems. Space is limited.
