Startup Nation Technology Fair
about the fair
StartUp Nation Technology Fair is a joint effort of Israel Ideas, Hasbara Fellowshipsand pro-business student organizations, intended to showcase Israeli technology and innovation, and provide internship opportunities for students with Israeli companies.
The core of our events is always a trade show floor, on which 10-12 early stage companies will exhibit their technologies, products and services. Other components of the event – which will vary by campus, include internship and job fairs, speakers, films, Shark Tank type events, etc.
This trade show is an opportunity for companies to recruit paid and unpaid interns through face-to-face meetings, collecting resumes and starting conversations that will hopefully yield into real internships.
