​ONE Launch: An Open Table on Resilience & Critical Tech

​A curated gathering of deep tech founders, industry leaders, and experts | Kicking off Tel Aviv Deep Tech Week

​Join us as we welcome Cam Geiger, former SVP of Supply Chain Innovation at Walmart and Universe Partners advisor, to Israel for an exclusive evening hosted by Shani Zanescu, Founder & General Partner of Universe Partners, and Idan Tamir, VP of Corporate Development at HAREL and Co-Founder of GUTS Innovation Hub.

​We know founders have no shortage of content-driven events. So we’re doing something different: an open-table conversation, a carefully curated room, and no panels or presentations to sit through.

​Bringing together deep tech and resilience-first founders with a select group of industry experts, the evening will explore the technologies reshaping how our physical world operates. From AI and semiconductors to supply chains and securing critical infrastructure.

​The conversation

• ​The state of resilience and critical technology

• ​Supply chains: the systems that run our world

• ​AI, semiconductors, and securing physical assets

• ​Where deep tech meets real-world deployment — and where founders and industry leaders can work together
