FROM ISRAEL TO MIAMI AND GLOBAL MARKETS
Miami sits at the intersection of the United States, Latin America and international markets.
Israel Tech Week uses that position to create a practical bridge between Israeli innovation and new capital, customers, partners and opportunities, while connecting Miami’s growing technology ecosystem with one of the world’s leading innovation hubs.

WHERE IT STARTED
Before Israel Tech Week, there was the Miami_Israel Collective.
Founded in 2023 by Lior Halabi and Ayal Stern, the Collective began as a year-round platform connecting founders, investors, executives, and technology leaders across Miami and Israel.
The community grew to more than 2,000 members, building relationships and creating opportunities through curated events, strategic introductions and cross-border collaboration.
That momentum became the foundation for something bigger. In 2025, the founders launched Israel Tech Week, expanding those relationships into a global platform for Israeli innovation, investment and business.
OUR TEAM
The team leading Israel Tech Week 2027 across strategy, partnerships, programming, operations and marketing.
Israel Tech Week brings together corporations, investors, professional firms, government organizations and innovation communities working to connect Israeli innovation with global markets.
Their participation helps create stronger programs, new relationships and opportunities that extend beyond the week itself.
