Mofet B’Yehuda Innovation Accelerator Newsletter
February 2010
Welcome to the launch of our quarterly e-newsletter, designed to give you quick updates about the new and growing companies within the Mofet Innovation Accelerator, and to announce special events we are participating in or sponsoring.
The Mofet B'Yehuda Innovation Accelerator was privatized by The Trendlines Group on September 2007. For the last two years, the activity of Mofet Innovation Accelerator has evolved significantly. We have established 12 new companies, continue to support our graduate companies, and there is much more to come in the future. All of these operations have been implemented with the essential backing of The Trendlines Group.
I am tremendously proud to be associated with the Mofet Innovation Accelerator, a technological incubator built on a strong foundation of commitment and integrity, priming new technology businesses to move forward into an era of growth and opportunity.
Yossi Ron, CEO
