In this episode of the Lands of Milk and Honey livestream, Josh Brown hosts Anya Eldan, venture partner and tech ecosystem builder, and Yariv Lotan of Startup Nation Central. With Startup Nation Central releasing its mid-year report, the discussion covers Israel's strengths, challenges and recent performance, heavily affected by the ongoing conflict that began on October 7th.

We also discuss:

• The role of Startup Nation Central
• The role of Government in developing tech sectors
• Opportunities for tech partnership between Israel and New Zealand
• Mixed investment into the Israel startup sector
• whether what's worked for Israel is relevant to New Zealand

As mentioned during the discussion, the upcoming annual NZIIH networking event will feature Anya Eldan as a keynote speaker, along with Sir Peter Gluckman. Tickets for this event are on sale, and you can get yours through this link:
