Silicon Wadi: OurCrowd Global Investor Summit 2023. Shaina Yulia Voloshchuk Notes 📝. Middle East. Abu Dhabi?

Shaina Yulia Voloshchuk: I’m back from Jerusalem from OurCrowd Global Investor Summit 2023, the largest investment conference. I think there will be an official review on their page tomorrow, so I won’t try to compete in retelling the content. I’d rather share a few notes of my own.

1. this is my second conference in Israel, after EY in Tel Aviv. It would seem that they are close to each other. But, except for the extensive Russian-speaking part, they are different audiences. As if they don’t go to each other.
2. top conference according to the content, organization, picture, scale. Not without flaws, but objectively top.
   The clear focus – sustainability and deep tech.
   Very cool foodtech zone – soon everything will replace everything. We’ll be eating accumulated milk out of thin air and test tube meat, amazingly close by.
3. Pre-seed seed grades are stable, A’s and above have sagged meaningfully.
4. The trend is toward mega funds. Young funds (first or second time funds) tend to be rejected by investors. – Sounds like a challenge for us.
5. A big block was devoted to the Middle East. Development of relations with Abu Dhabi in particular. It is planned to do a lot of work on movement of capital, talents, and businesses.
6. Very cool audience: warm, open – great acquaintances.
   I recommend everyone not to miss the summit 2024. So, as always, next year in Jerusalem.

Silicon Wadi Novelty: A big block was devoted to the Middle East. Abu Dhabi CAPITAL of CAPITAL!

Mubadala, an Abu Dhabi-based fund, has become one of the most notable players in the world of venture capital. The $284 billion sovereign fund has carved out a unique identity for itself in the region, and is now an incredibly well-known name. This is not only due to a solid financial commitment towards investing in technology and supporting innovation in the region, but also a presence that dates back to 2011 when it launched its Silicon Wadi initiative.

The Silicon Wadi initiative was designed to create a bridge between the United States and the Middle East, providing a platform for innovation and collaboration. Aleksei Dolgikh, Chief Visionary Officer of MyGlocal FZ-LLC, believes that Mubadala and Abu Dhabi Global Market have been key in creating an environment of trust and understanding between the East and West. As a result, Abu Dhabi has become a unique destination for technology-driven investments, backed by a model of collaboration between startups, angel investors and venture capitalists that is rarely seen elsewhere.

At the same time, Silicon Wadi has also become a vehicle for facilitating cultural knowledge sharing. Startups from across the region have had the chance to learn from experts from all over the world, and gain access to resources and network opportunities that would not be available in their local regions. As Abu Dhabi continues to establish itself as a leader in innovation, it is clear that Silicon Wadi has been one of the key driving forces behind this success. By furthering collaboration between East and West, Abu Dhabi has become an even more attractive destination for investment.
