TeachPitch joins the Mayor of London on a tech mission to Israel
We are very happy to announce that Team TeachPitch will be joining the Mayor of London in his upcoming trade visit to Israel.
The London Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) in partnership with London & Partners (L&P) and EdTech UK are organizing this market visit that will start on November 8th, 2015.
The visit aims at assisting high growth Smart City and Ed Tech companies seeking to identify partnerships and to explore business opportunities within the Israeli market.
TeachPitch will be joining the London team and is excited to participate in an intensive week with visits to companies and organisations like Google, the British Embassy, Mind CET and the Israeli start-up scene at Silicon Boulevard.
In addition we are excited to be visiting a great variety of schools and institutions with whom we can discuss the potential of TeachPitch and its repository technology for the Israeli educational system.
‘We are very honoured to be among one of the London EdTech start-ups chosen to participate in this journey to Tel Aviv. Our visit is in complete alignment with our goal to help teachers and schools from all over the world. We are eager to start the conversation with as many Israeli educators as possible and naturally delighted to be in the presence of Boris Johnson to fly the London flag.’ said Aldo de Pape, CEO and founder of TeachPitch
Mayor of London Boris Johnson MP said: “This trade mission is a fantastic chance to promote London as a thriving tech city and an opportunity to encourage lasting partnerships with some of Israel’s most innovative and creative minds. I want to shine a light on London’s home grown tech talent and strengthen our ties with this part of the world.”
The trade excursion will take place from November 8ththrough November 12th, 2015. Please send us an e-mail atinfo@teachpitch.com for any further questions or ideas.
