Sweden Israel Innovation Days - 24-27 October

Important results from the project

By meeting various actors from Incubators, Companies, Startups/Scaleups and other organizations focused on driving innovation, we initiated concrete collaborations, business and learning between Sweden and Israel. Through a diverse delegation from Sweden, we were able to both represent the Swedish innovation and technology scene and build very rewarding relationships with representatives of the Israeli technology scene. The project provided more value than expected and Svea Solar is very satisfied with our participation through our CBDO Olivia Nestius.

Expected long term effects

Objective 1: At least 50%/50% men and women show diversity and equality. Fulfillment: Very good; the Swedish delegation had over 50% women and the Israeli representatives were very impressed by our diversification, knowledge and experiences. Objective 2: Identify 2-3 potential areas of cooperation between the countries´ innovation ecosystems. Fulfillment: Very good; in different groupings we formally gathered over 10 concrete ideas to build on, including business ideas and to take part in each other´s valuable networks.
