The German Mittelstand and the Israeli Startup Ecosystem

Summary:

This report draws upon roughly 60 interviews conducted in Israel and Germany from April to September 2016. As the focus of this report, German small-to-medium enterprises are overrepresented in the sample with 23 interviews. Fifteen of these companies are already active in Israel. The remaining interviews were conducted with representatives from foreign companies that have already tapped into Israel’s high-tech ecosystem, key personnel at Israeli startups, venture capital firms, angel investors, universities, accelerators and regulators, and supporting government agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
