Swiss-Israel Lean Launchpad

Israel is home to hundreds of R&D centres, including some of the biggest corporates in the world. At the same time, it has the highest ratio of startups and unicorns per capita, all of them companies which looked to the global market from day one. Hence, the Israeli ecosystem is in constant exchange with international partners.

To help bridge the cultural differences and accelerate the networking with Israeli partners, the Swiss-Israel Lean Launchpad program is opening its doors again for a new cohort of  Swiss startups - the next edition focuses on Swiss Food or AgriTech startups. The 10-week hybrid startup exchange programme, which is tailor-made for the needs of each participating startup, offers access to Israel’s startup culture, and a lineup of activities to boost the startups' growth. The seminars provide first-hand insights into the toolbox of Israeli entrepreneurs, including mastering storytelling and pitching techniques. Personal mentoring sessions offer will unite the startup with Israeli partners relevant to their business. The programme takes place between April and June 2023.
