Wayra UK – Telefónica’s CVC generously hosted a captivating TAU Talk From Lab to Launch and Beyond on the evening of the 24th of September.

Professor Yossi Rosenwaks from TAU Faculty of Engineering shared some fascinating insights on how Tel Aviv University supports the transition of technology from university labs to startup incubation.

Tali Rosenwaks, a partner at Next Gear Ventures highlighted their unique approach of collaborating with top entrepreneurs and leading corporations to ensure the market fit of smart and sustainable mobility innovations—early on—systematically de-risking startups at the early stage.

Ryan Hansen, Partner at Katten Financial Markets and Funds department provided key legal perspectives on how startups can navigate growth beyond the lab and launch stage, especially on a global scale.

Amazingly, Yossi and Tali had never presented together before. We were proud to enable this “first”!
Mostly, we were comforted by Yossi’s ‘scientific’ prediction that we can expect the future to be brighter, even though no one knows how long we need to wait for things to improve.
