Retail Tech Innovation Is Booming In Israel

In February, my team went on a four-day innovation technology tour to Israel. We met with more than 25 startups and led panel discussions on innovation at the 2017 OurCrowd Global Investor Summit. The trip impacted how we are thinking about innovation and what is happening in retail right now. The Israeli retail technology startup scene is booming. More than $4.8 billion was invested in Israel-based high-tech startups in 2016, a record total--and more than was invested in Silicon Valley companies.
