For one week in Israel, the startup world gathers for the OurCrowd Global Investor Summit, one of the premier events in the tech industry, and the largest investor event in the Middle East.  The 2025 Summit will take place at the International Convention Center (Binyanei Hauma) in Jerusalem, with events across Israel during Summit week.

Attendees at the Summit have included accredited investors, early- and late-stage founders and serial entrepreneurs, corporate innovation executives, venture capitalists, ambassadors, and other members of the global tech ecosystem. Exhibitors of some of the most forward-thinking companies are also on hand. Shoulder-to-shoulder all-day networking that is unique to the Summit saw a lot of business done in 2020, with over 1,400 facilitated meetings. Government representatives from all over the world engaged in “innovation diplomacy” and relationships were established and reinforced that have helped foster the innovation revolution.

The Summit provides unprecedented insight into the world of startup venture capital, with exclusive exposure to cutting-edge technologies, the entrepreneurs behind them, and the corporate leaders deploying them.  Speakers are never paid — passion and expertise are the only criteria. Attendees have become accustomed to being wowed by the content, inspired by the ideas, and surprised by the unexpected.

From its unique position within the global startup ecosystem and as Israel’s most active venture investor, OurCrowd provides a gathering place to set the themes and trends for the coming year and to get business done.  This year, there will be even more attendee lounges, dedicated meeting spaces, and facilitated networking.

During Summit Week, invite-only events include the OurCrowd Leaders Forum, an all-business event for the elite of the ecosystem, which harnesses the extensive knowledge and experience held by OurCrowd’s top-tier investors and corporate partners.

Summit Week will be as packed as ever, with corporate meetups, VC forums, insider access to accelerators and labs, and touring opportunities providing a unique insider’s look at the innovation ecosystem.  Visitors will also get a deep dive into the history, culture and vibe of Israel, including the nightlife of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The legendary Summit partying will continue this year, with nightly opportunities for great food, drink and networking with the global crowd.
