8 Things an Israeli Startup Must Know About the UK Market I’ve been in the United Kingdom for eight years now, working in the local business ecosystem. After hundreds of conferences, thousands of exchanges, customers, suppliers, investors, collaborations, and acceleration programs, numerous wins in national and international competitions, several investment rounds, and one technology startup – I summarized eight crucial points an Israeli startup should know about the British market in this article.
