This year’s competition is organized by Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs together with the city of Tel-Aviv, and is supported by Microsoft, as well as our media partner the International Business Times. The Live Final event will take place at London’s Google Campus.  Start TLV’s five day itinerary in Israel includes a mixture of seminars, workshops and networking events with leading Israeli entrepreneurs and investors.

As well as getting advice on how to take their business to the next level, members of the group will have the chance to hone their pitching skills and even win investment as they present their business ideas to a panel of VCs.

Applicants should sign up at www.startTLV.co.uk/competition, fill in the online form, and click submit. All applicants will receive exposure to over 150 investors, VCs and interested parties, as well as an invite and opportunity to attend the live final along with the top four companies.

The winners will have the opportunity to pitch, network, meet experts and investors, and even have some free time in Tel Aviv! The winner will also gain entry into the DLD Innovation Festival.

Tel Aviv is the capital of the startup nation, with more startups per capita than any other city in the world! With companies such as Waze, Get Taxi and Meerkat originating there, Tel Aviv is at the cutting edge of innovation.

Now in its fourth year, the final of the competition will be held this year on Tuesday 30th June at Google Campus (previous hosts have included Facebook, Google et al.).
