Startups from Korea will be participate in Start Tel Aviv 2014. This year I was invited by the Israeli embassy in Seoul to the promotion event to speak about the Israeli startups ecosystem and why Tel Aviv is so great place to be. The event being held on 24th of June in MARU 180 incubation place which run and managed by Asan Nanum Foundation.

I want to take you on a trip, 8,000 km away. We'll be going to Israel, the 'startup nation', a country of only 7 Million people who is second in the number of NASDAQ IPO's, more than any other country in the world other than the US. But although we want to learn about building startups, I won't be taking you to Herzeliya, the "Hi Tech" city near the Mediterranean sea. We'll be driving from Tel Aviv on the road to Jerusalem, and stop approximately in the middle, at a valley that has nothing but green fields. This place, called "EMEK HA'ELA" will be useful for teaching Korean startups a valuable lesson on how to succeed in taking the startup global.
