Peachtree Corners brings Israeli tech startups to Atlanta

“The collaboration between Israel and Peachtree Corners has been growing for the past several years, and we’re excited to formally help bring some of the most advanced new smart city technologies while enabling our startups to expand into North America," said Dr Amiram Applebaum, chairman of the Israel Innovation Authority and chief innovation scientist at the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology.

“We are proud of Israel’s leadership in smart city and IoT innovation, and it only made sense to partner with a city that’s now globally recognised for its unique environment and global firsts – from the first cellular vehicle-to-everything system implemented in an American city to other smart infrastructure breakthroughs that affect autonomous mobility and more.” 

He continued: “There’s no better soft launch pad in America to help foster the implementation of innovative technology relevant to smart cities, while positively impacting the daily life for its citizens.”

“We’re delighted to partner with Israel Innovation Authority in helping to foster the growth of some of the world’s brightest startups working on smart city, IoT and future mobility tech”

Peachtree Corners claims the region has rapidly grown into a hotspot for international companies launching into the North American market: from Europe, Asia to the Middle East, technology developers and government-led trade entities have engaged with the city over the past several years on multiple levels.

The Israel Innovation Authority, an independent publicly funded agency, was created to provide a variety of practical tools and funding platforms aimed at effectively addressing the dynamic and changing needs of the local and international innovation ecosystems.
