Today at the Tel-Hai College #FoodTech #Conference, we had the joy of connecting with our exceptional partners and sharing our collaborative spirit to rebuild a thriving ecosystem in the north. Key takeaways from the event: ✔️ Residents of the north, who are the employees of any future startups, have to return home before we can discuss anything else! ✔️ Ensuring the reconstruction and ongoing establishment of infrastructure in the north is crucial for startups and groundbreaking research to continue developing. ✔️ Significant funding prioritizing the region is essential to make all of this happen. Despite these challenges, we have the most important element: determination and a strong regional partnership. Kudos to Ofir Benjamin Ph.D. for organizing this event for the 11th year in a row, to the students for their ever-improving innovations, and to the Israeli foodtech ecosystem for their support. #FoodTechExperts #InnovationNation #Community #Academia #Industry #AgriFoodTechValley #Partnerships Noga Sela Shalev, Tammy Meiron, Ph.D., Daniel Gamsu, Hadas Sibony Benyamini, Sapir Hashmonai, Tnuva, Tempo Beverages Ltd, OurCrowd, Finistere Ventures, Israel Innovation Authority רשות החדשנות, Ronit Eshel, ProFuse Technology, Sea2Cell, Pigmentum Ltd., Medium Well Technological Solutions, EcoCrystal, Bountica, Eggmented Reality, Blue Tree Technologies Ltd., MadeRight, Mira Hershkovits, Sharon Engel Adam, Arik Dayan, Israel AgriFood-Tech Valley, MIGAL Galilee Research Institute, Ori Ben-Herzel, Anna Ovadia, Galilee Development Company LTD החברה לפיתוח הגליל, Ronit Badler, Beyachad Foundation, Atar Razy-Oren, Rashi Foundation, Nitzan Sela Bloom, Margalit Startup City , Nisan Zeevi, Or Nadav Argov, Guy Varon

We'll be seeing you this Thursday at the Tel-Hai College #FoodTech #Conference👇
In these challenging times, it's crucial to keep building and creating our future with hope, strength, and determination, knowing that we deserve it and that better days are ahead. I'm excited to share that this Thursday, the 11th annual conference of Tel-Hai College (soon to be University) led by the dedicated Ofir Benjamin Ph.D. I'm honored to lead the "Industry FoodTech" session at the conference and would love for you to join us. For those who know me, you know that before the war, I spent 4 years living and working in the north. Together with Noga Sela Shalev, our incredible team (Hadas Sibony Benyamini, Sapir Hashmonai, and Daniel Gamsu), and our partners Tnuva Tempo Beverages Ltd, OurCrowd, Finistere Ventures, and the Israel Innovation Authority רשות החדשנות, we established FRESH START FoodTech Incubator IL. Our vision was to establish startup companies in the field of foodtech to bring breakthrough technologies to the global industry and develop the northern region by providing attractive workplaces and attracting strong populations. We also worked in collaboration with the local partners in the Israel AgriFood-Tech Valley: MIGAL Galilee Research Institute, Tel-Hai College, the Municipality of Kiryat Shmona, Galilee Development Company LTD החברה לפיתוח הגליל, Eastern galilee regional council, galil-elion regional council, Lauder Employment Center, Beyachad Foundation, Golan economic corporation, Mevoot hahermon regional council, ASHI FOUNDATION, Merieux NutriSciences Israel מעבדות מילודע On October 7th, Fresh Start had 10 portfolio companies, employing around 90 people, mostly from the north. Today, nine months later, the area is desolate. We were evacuated, and the companies were displaced. However, we remain resilient. We now have twelve (soon to be thirteen) portfolio companies, operating across the country despite the challenges, and most important; Our companies continues to move on and make significant progress. We haven't given up on our vision. We're eagerly waiting for the opportunity to return and rebuild. Your support and participation in the Tel Hai College conference mean a lot to us. I hope to see you there! Sharon Engel Adam Mira Hershkovits

Our CEO, Noga Sela Shalev, joined an exclusive dinner hosted by the Modern Agriculture Foundation - Levana Shifman🍃 and WD Biotech. It's always great to get together with our friends and colleagues, and this time we had the pleasure meeting Juliet Stein and Michael Stein of WD Biotech, who showed their strong support for Israeli innovation by committing to now invest solely in Israel. As our community continues to show outstanding resilience and push forward in these challenging times, such support is truly remarkable. We're looking forward to continuing these important conversations. #FoodTechExperts #StartupIncuabtor #VentureBuilders #IsraelInnovation #FoodTech #Community Adit Romano, Liat Lachish Levy, Anat Ben Yonatan, PhD, Omri Paz, Gabi Shani, Ofek Ron ⚓️, Bosmat Sade, Anastasia Zinchenko, Ph.D., Neta Lavon, Yonatan Golan, Carmit Oron, Koren Tanach, Arik Ryvkin, PhD, Eyal Afergan, Ph.D, Nadav Berger, Itai Cohen, Jonathan Berger, Gad Harris, Alon Turkaspa, Orly Savion , PhD, Michal Mor Kopel, Rachel Vizman

Happy 4th of July, America! Today, let's explore the future of food with Green Queen Media's latest article on #CultivatedMeat in the USA. Recent bans in Florida and discussions in other states highlight the challenges faced by this innovative industry. While the nation's opinions are divided, there is hope: transparency about the production process can build the trust this industry needs to thrive: https://lnkd.in/d-a4dQnx At Fresh Start, we’re excited about the potential of cultivated meat to revolutionize our plates with sustainable, healthy and delicious options. We believe in this space and are proud to support pioneering companies like ProFuse Technology, Sea2Cell, Medium Well Technological Solutions, and more (to be shared soon!) What are your thoughts on cultivated meat?
