Program Overview

Our Entrepreneurship & Business program is for the entrepreneur in you, and especially for those of you looking to ramp up your business and entrepreneurial skillset in one of the most innovative cities in the world.

Widely regarded for its innovation - and also known as the Startup Nation – Tel Aviv is an amazing environment in which to continue your journey of discovery. With more venture capital per capita and more startups than any other country in the world, it’s hard not to soak up some of that innovation and dynamism (when you’re thinking Israeli innovation, think instant messaging; cherry tomatoes; drip irrigation; and the world’s smallest video camera that can be swallowed for internal medical examinations, and many other cool inventions).

This dynamic summer program will provide you with many invaluable insights into the numerous dimensions and steps of the entrepreneurial process; from the initial seed of a creative thought, all the way to product completion and sales. 

You’ll also take onboard some inspirational interactive learning both inside and outside the classroom, and through course-related excursions you’ll also get a first-hand view of the unique entrepreneurial spirit in Tel Aviv.
