PresenTense Israel

PresenTense Israel is the leading organization providing infrastructure and backbone support to strengthen Israeli society through entrepreneurship. Since 2007 we have been asking the question: what can we do to make entrepreneurship more accessible and how can we channel entrepreneurship to focus on improving society?

​We opened the first co-working hub in Israel, launched the first social venture accelerator, the first accelerator for Arab entrepreneurs in Israel, the first accelerator for Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) women and the first accelerator in the world focused on innovative solutions for people with disabilities.

The impact has been the launch of over 350 businesses, tech startups and social ventures – that are growing local economies through job growth, enriching community life through volunteer engagement and solving core society problems as our ventures impact tens of thousands of lives.

During the next phase of our development we will continue to work with partners to identify and fill in gaps in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. 

We operate in the following ways:

• Venture Accelerators train entrepreneurs and build networks of innovative communities, to launch start-ups that solve local and global problems.
• Innovation Workshops teach entrepreneurial tools, to impact new ventures, existing projects or within organizations. 
• Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Development advises organizations and government on how to nurture innovation through their programs and policies, and how to implement ideas within existing systems.
