About This Event

Join us for the first in a series of online events, with leading innovation professionals, tech entrepreneurs, and venture capitalists in Israel and the UK aimed at providing insights and access to women across different sectors. Speakers share best practices and opportunities in both countries on how to navigate the fundraising landscape as well as draw on their own experience adjusting to the new working norms while taking a forward look at how we may rebuild the Diversity and Inclusion agenda when the world starts moving again.

Lessons Learned

Make Networking a Priority: Take the time now to invest in building relationships with investors, with your women peer group and with the ecosystem. Share opportunities and create a support system.

Talk Opportunities Not Risks: Be aware of unconscious biases or preconceptions and turn perceived risks into opportunities for growth.

Give Back: Actively search for opportunities to contribute. This will help others grow and in urn, will increase your confidence and expand your network.

Raise The Visibility of Women Leaders: Feature profiles of successful women leaders to help normalize diverse leadership.

Leverage The Virtual World: Take advantage of online activities to quickly and easily create cross-border connections, build networks and expand outside of your comfort zone.

This event is part of a series aimed at promoting women in the tech industry in both the UK and Israel. Organized by The UK Israel Tech Hub, in collaboration with the Department for International Trade (DIT), Science and Innovation Network (SIN) and the British Council.
