Citizens of the Startup Nation!

 

BizTEC is Israel's leading Entrepreneurial Challenge; a competition within a nurturing learning environment.

We will teach you how to turn your Idea into a Venture, while you compete for prizes worth up to 50,000 NIS.

We partner with leading firms, service providers, investors and thinkers to help you get started.

The BizTEC Challenge is comprised of a Learning Experience, Business Networking Opportunities, and 5 BizTEC Prizes for you to win!

The BizTEC Competition

The BizTEC Competition is comprised of 3 seperate stages - Ideas, Executive Summaries and Business Plans. The Idea stage is voluntary, and teams may submit their executive summary without having submitted an Idea. However, BizTEC strongly encourages teams to submit their Ideas and enjoy the feedback given from our judges.

The Executive Summary stage is mandatory, and there is no option of submitting a Business Plan without having been selected as a qualifying team in the semi-finals.

During the semi-finals, no more than 20 teams will be selected, up to 5 teams from 4 categories:

  • Communications & Hardware
  • Internet, Software & IT
  • Medical Devices & Lifestyle
  • Cleantech

These ventures will compete for 4 categorical prizes, and 1 first place prize, for a total of 5 winners. Each categorical prize is worth 15,000 NIS, while the First Place Prize is worth 50,000 NIS. In addition, the First Place Winner and a chosen Categorical Prize Winner will have the honor of representing Israel in the European Intel Challenge.
