Previous Projects
leaders from 10 Sub-Saharan countries worked together to identify burning desertification challenges in their countries, and designed projects using technology to tackle those needs.
During 6 online sessions seminar, followed by a week-long seminar in Israel, they learned about challenge identification, tackling strategies, solutions evaluation, and POC design. Then, they uploaded their challenges to an online platform and, arrived in Israel’s desert to meet with relevant solutions and start building collaborations. Lastly, 17 partnership groups presented their planned joint pilot in an online investor pitching event.
An IDB water delegation was introduced to the Institute’s methodology and to the local ecosystem in a profound process, including a day-long workshop in Israel. The delegates met key players and had a hands-on workshop to discuss how they will develop their local ecosystem using the Israel Innovation Institute’s tools. Then, IDB and the Israel Innovation Institute published a joint paper combining the Institute’s methodology with the Inter America water ecosystem’s case study, shared a report about the tour in Israel, and hosted a webinar to share the knowledge and learnings from the tour with a wider group of water executives from the region.
European innovation ecosystem leaders from various fields are trained annually in a one-day hands-on workshop in Tel Aviv. The participants discuss various challenges of leading the innovation ecosystem and learn about Israel Innovation Institute’s methodology and experience. They meet with innovation ecosystem leaders for peer learning and at the end of the day, build a 6-month work plan to develop their ecosystems based on III’s proven methodology and suggested tools. The workshop encourages professional dialogue and knowledge sharing in a peer-to-peer structure.
The III built a tailor-made process for Andorra’s key players in the innovation ecosystem, to lead innovation ecosystems in different sectors, and improve both the quality of life in Andorra and provide a competitive advantage to the country’s economy. The training included the Israel Innovation Institute’s proven methodology workshop which equipped participants with practical tools and guided them in formulating a comprehensive annual work plan. In addition, they were exposed to the vibrant local ecosystem, discussed with innovation leaders and key players from the hi-tech sector, networked with relevant executives, and learned about case studies based on the Israel Innovation Institute operational framework and experience. Following the seminar, the Institute organized follow-up meetings to support the adaptation of the tools they learned in Andorra’s ecosystem.
