Start Tel Aviv Ireland 2016

Thursday, June 30, 2016

On 29 June 2016, the NDRC hosted an event, Start TLV Ireland, with Philip Lee and the Ireland Israel Business Network.  Start TLV is an international start-up competition, which sees the top innovative start-up companies from over 20 different countries. Those selected are in with the chance of attending a five day intense start-up experience to learn from the start-up ecosystem in Tel Aviv and meet with leading investors and multinationals.

Nine participants pitched their companies to four Judges – Debbie Rennick from Act, Collette Sexton from the Sunday Business Post, Fionnuala Healy from Trinity College Dublin and Majella Crennan from Philip Lee.  The winning candidates were:

1. Cava Club, a food based formula export business aiming at the Chinese market
2. Girl Crew, the International Association of Women who link up on Facebook to organise events in various locations around the world

Both teams, well deserving of the prize, will travel with representatives from the IIBN and the Israeli Government to Tel Aviv in September.
