Summary
10 Israeli startups are the first cohort in ynet Global’s new Going Global initiative, a U.S.-focused platform launched with Team8, Discount Tech and Deloitte Catalyst.
The project is designed as an ongoing platform rather than a one-off ranking, adding companies over time as they enter new markets, form partnerships and gain traction abroad.
Team8, Discount Tech and Deloitte Catalyst say the effort aims to help founders cut through crowded AI, cyber and tech markets by linking them with U.S. investors, customers and industry networks.
Around 50 companies are the expansion goal, positioning Going Global as a broader showcase for Israeli innovation seeking growth opportunities in the U.S.
How will 'Going Global' solve the deep cultural divide that often derails Israeli startups in the competitive U.S. market?
As new Israeli startup creation slows, can this initiative find enough elite companies to fuel its ambitious U.S. expansion goals?
Will this platform become a key pipeline for U.S. defense and government technology needs, beyond just commercial growth?
