Israel is widely known as the “start-up nation” and is recognized as a major player in the fields of innovation, R & D and entrepreneurship. Taglit-Birthright Israel built the “State of Mind” Innovation Center in partnership with The Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange. The exciting and cutting-edge Innovation Center allows you to learn about the new advancements Israeli Start-Ups are making in different fields, such as science, medicine, security, space and more. Each Taglit-Birthright Israel group that visits the Innovation Center begins by exploring the interactive exhibition, and continues with a one-on-one meet up with a leading Israeli entrepreneur.
