Taglit Holds its First Start-Up Nation Tour

Taglit-Birthright Israel launched its first special “Start-Up Nation” group this month after a successful pilot program last year.

The program is named for the popular book “Start-Up Nation: The Story of Israel’s Economic Miracle” and included a talk by Saul Singer, one of the book’s authors, visits to various Israeli hi-tech start-ups in Herzliya and Tel Aviv, meetings with Israeli venture capitalists and a trip to IDC Herzliya to sit with students and lecturers in the university’s specialized entrepreneurship program.

During the group’s trip, they were divided into smaller groups and given the task of brainstorming their own start-up ideas and presenting them to venture capitalists. The participants are all either business, entrepreneurial or high tech students or are working in their own developing business.
