Eight Israeli cybersecurity companies traveled to London last week to take part in the Global Tech Connect Cybersecurity Bootcamp and meet with UK stakeholders and partners in the sector. The event was led by Avital Levitzky, Fintech & Cybersecurity Lead at the UK-Israel Tech Hub at the British Embassy in Israel, and in partnership with Global Tech Connect, which unites international initiatives like the Tech Hub and helps startups enter and scale in the UK market.
“The strong relationship between Israel and the UK is rooted in shared values and a mutual commitment to innovation, particularly in transformative fields like cybersecurity and AI,” said Levitzky. “This delegation highlights the vast opportunities for collaboration, fostering a dynamic exchange of expertise to address both current and emerging challenges. Together, we can harness the synergy between our nations to drive forward groundbreaking solutions and shape the future of technology and security.”
During the bootcamp, startups met with companies such as HSBC Innovation Banking, Cyber Club London, Mastercard, and others. They also presented them with their solutions and the partners shared their knowledge and expertise and explored potential for collaborations.
