Gastronomy Meets Technology at FoodTech Startups Competition

Yossi Dan and Erez Mizrachi have knack for organizing some wonderful startup events that I have had the opportunity to participate in my role as a Brand Ambassador from the Rackspace Startups program.  The work they do through Challengy helps showcase and advance innovation.

The cool thing about Yossi and Erez is that they find interesting niches and bring light to the potential of impact of them – not only from a standpoint of business, but their potential impact on society.

Last night at the Academic College of Tel Aviv – Yaffo, a packed house of some 200+ attendees, media, judges and special guests from the Government of France and the France Israel Chamber were on hand to hear pitches from 10 foodtech related startups.

This event was held during the “So French, So Food” week, hosting 20 among the best French Chefs visiting the Startup Nation. So, they created a special event FoodTech Pitch TLV – Where Gastronomy Meets Technology.
