Proud to have been part of yesterday's Unistream - יוניסטרים "Venture of the Year" event, the largest youth entrepreneurship competition in Israel! 🏆 The theme of this year’s competition was “Initiating Hope, Illuminating the Future”, and there could not be a better way to describe the feeling this event left us. Seeing Israeli youth, from all regions and all backgrounds, speaking a common language and coming together to drive positive change was a true inspiration. ⭐ Our partner, Ido Hart, was honoured to judge the projects of talented young boys and girls, whose innovative spirit was not diminished by this difficult year. This event marked the end of our first year of a fruitful partnership with Unistream, and this is, for sure, only the beginning! Thanks again to Ifat Bechor, Rony Zarom and to the entire, amazing Unistream team for your impactful work!
