Immersion Program
The Desafía Tel Aviv Immersion Program enables companies to acquire the right tools and methods to plan & execute a strategy to build a company just like it's done in Israel, the startup nation, and in Hong Kong, the gateway to scale-up to the Asian market.
After a highly competitive selection process where less than 10% of applicants are accepted during an orientation and validation day in Madrid, you'll participate in a three-week immersion program in Tel Aviv and Hong Kong filled with activities, meetings and workshops. These include:
Overview of Israel as a Startup nation and Hong Kong as the scale-up location and gateway to Asia
Workshops and practical exercises ranging from pitching and go-to-market strategy to fundraising
Cyber security: the know-how and perception of Israel as The Cyber nation
Mentor speed dating and networking sessions with world-class experts, executives, entrepreneurs and investors
Visits to R&D centers, hubs & accelerators in Israel & Hong Kong
Demo-Day
After the program you'll have all the tools you need to make informed decisions and plan your next steps.
Apply to our next Immersion Program and become part of a tight-knit community of successful entrepreneurs that will last well beyond the program through the Desafía Tel Aviv Immersion Alumni network.
