KOREA ISRAEL INNOVATION CENTER
The exclusive hub in Israel for select leading South Korean corporations and investors looking to gain a competitive edge via Israeli innovation.
About Us
South Korea has one of the fastest growing tech and venture capital scenes. It has some of Asia's fastest growing companies. It is less known to Israeli companies but it can serve as a gateway for exponential growth.
The Korea Israel Innovation Center helps some of the leading Korean companies and investors partner or invest in Israeli innovation. We do so through direct relationship building, direct investments or club deals.
Typically, we approach relevant and promising start-ups directly, but if you think your startup could be a great fit, and we missed you, let us know!
