about us
The UK-Israel Tech Hub, at the British Embassy in Israel, was founded in 2011 to “strengthen and raise the profile of our bilateral tech partnership”.
The Hub links UK and Israeli firms, identifies synergies between our tech economies and delivers activities to forge partnerships – of which we have brokered 250 since inception. The Hub’s core objective is to create partnerships that will enable the development, implementation and commercialisation of emerging technology in the UK.
We create innovation partnerships, joint ventures and Proof of Concepts; we work with partners to advise on pro-innovation regulation and produce productive innovation systems in key sector focus areas of Health, Climate and Cyber-Fintech. Our strategic focus areas cut across all our work streams and reflect our values in Tech Policy, Critical Technologies, UK-Israel VC relationships, and Equity focusing on Women in Tech and the Arab-Tech Sector.
