The Israel Innovation Authority is set to publish in the coming weeks the names of the 12 incubators and accelerators selected to host foreign entrepreneurs in Israel as part of its Innovation Visas pilot program.

The idea, announced in December, is to enable foreign entrepreneurs to learn from the Israeli ecosystem and eventually also benefit from government support should they set up a startup in Israel. Entrepreneurs who want to come and work in Israel need to apply for an expert visa and be sponsored by a company they work for.
