An Argentine municipality hosted a conference with Israel as its model for startup development.
On Nov. 11, the Israeli flag was flying over the Vicente Lopez district for a conference titled “Startup Nation: Israel as a paradigm of the entrepreneurship ecosystem.”
The municipality, with a population of 271,000, is located about 12 miles north of Buenos Aires and is part of the metropolitan province.
More than 60 businesspeople heard from a panel of Argentine and Israeli presenters about Israel’s model to develop startups.
“The Israeli model has a lot to bring to our society, the panel was inspiring for our entrepreneurs and we want to improve the institutional links with Israel,” said Eduardo Vinales, general director of economic development for Vicente Lopez. — jta
