Start-Up Nation Revisited: 15 Years On with Saul Singer
The New Zealand Israel Innovation Hub Presents:
Start-Up Nation Revisited: 15 Years On with Saul Singer
Hear from Saul Singer, co-author of the international bestseller Start-Up Nation: The Story of Israel's Economic Miracle, in a rare online conversation exploring how Israel became a global innovation leader despite its small size, limited resources and complex challenges.
As South Pacific countries pivot toward more productive and resilient business sectors, Start-Up Nation offers timely insights for policymakers, academics, and tech leaders. Singer will unpack the key drivers behind Israel’s start-up success and share lessons for nations like New Zealand.
Fifteen years on, this conversation reflects on the book’s global impact and what it takes to transform adversity into opportunity through innovation and we'll also hear about his new book "The Genius of Israel'.
The webinar is guaranteed to be a memorable event as we'll also be joined by Trade Officer, Jeremy Ungar, and Kiwi Israeli venture capitalist, Ben Weiss.
This event is brought to you thanks to the support of the Israel Trade and Economic Commission in Australia and the Israeli embassy in Wellington. It will be dedicated to the memory of John Barnett, an early supporter of our organisation who passed away on August 24th.
