What We Do
We connect entrepreneurs, industry, and academia, support ventures, develop training, and build community. These areas of work complement one another, so that the Galilee’s knowledge and capabilities become companies and jobs in the region.
Technology–Industry Ecosystem
We connect startups, manufacturers across the Galilee and the North, academia, and the community into one network, where entrepreneurs meet the region’s knowledge, experience, and needs.
The entrepreneurial community is built through ongoing professional relationships, meetups, and networks that support entrepreneurs in the North. From there it extends to links between technology ventures and the region’s established and advanced industry.
Entrepreneurs and Startups
We identify and support technology ventures that meet needs in the global market, from the first idea to the seed stage, so that they grow and put down roots in the Galilee.
We start by identifying a real need, then connect entrepreneurs with experts and people from industry, and stay with the venture step by step through its early stages.
Upgrading Traditional Industry
We work with established manufacturers in the North as they adopt advanced technologies, so that they stay competitive and keep growing in an age of AI and robotics, with high-quality technology jobs and local know-how that stays in the region.
Galilee industry holds a great deal of operational and engineering know-how. Bringing digital tools into working plants strengthens them and opens new technology roles for people in the region.
Academia–Industry Connection
We bring researchers and academic institutions together with the region’s manufacturers and companies around real industrial challenges, so that applied research becomes solutions and new ventures.
Academia brings research, knowledge, and skilled people. When researchers and people from industry work together, both sides gain. Research meets real questions, and industry meets new knowledge.
Talent and Training
The AI revolution has put everyone on a new starting line. The Galilee has experts in science, engineering, and industry, and our education and training connect their expertise with AI tools, so that they lead the region’s companies and industry forward.
Our education and training build on the knowledge and experience participants already bring. NorthStar Women in Deep-Tech is the first program in this area. It has been approved by the Israel Innovation Authority and begins in early 2027.
