The International Visegrad Fund (IVF) is an international donor organization, established in 2000 by the governments of the Visegrad Group countries—Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia to promote regional cooperation in the Visegrad region (V4) as well as between the V4 region and other countries, especially in the Western Balkans and Eastern Partnership regions as well as Israel.
The IVF vision is to make the grants, scholarships and residencies the catalyst for the advancement of innovative ideas in Central and Eastern Europe.
One of the initiatives of the IVF is to promote bilateral cooperation between Israel and V4 countries through organising the study visits to Israel. The onsite training aims to support start-ups in evaluating the market potential of their innovative ideas and solutions, products and services. The study tour in Israel offers practical tool how to run innovative businesses, give examples how to grow and how to successfully internationalize their activities. It aims as well to support incubators’ representatives/employees in extending their professional capacity and quality of services provided for incubating companies.
The B2Bevent is organised as added value of the training course and is dedicated to the startups selected for the second edition of the V4 INNOVATORS IN ISRAEL TRAINING PROGRAM.
