About 50 senior executives from the Japanese technological innovation industry arrived yesterday (Thursday) at the Sammy Ofer Stadium. The Japanese, who are looking to invest in the Israeli start-up industry, came to learn about the possibilities of cooperation with the club. They began the tour with an explanation about the stadium and the club. They were then briefed on the technological innovation program presented to them. The Japanese visit is a direct continuation of the international launch of the world's largest network of sports technologies accelerators, held this week in London, in which the clubs CEO, Assaf Ben Dov, took part.
Maccabi Haifa invites start-up companies in early stages of development to join the club's accelerator program and HYPE. During the course of the program they will receive accompanying, guidance, ground for experimentation and of course they will open some doors for new opportunities and connection to international sports organizations. The companies that will eventually be selected will be part of the global program and will receive exposure from leading sports organizations around the world.
