About the Accelerator

MaofTech Afula is the first technological entrepreneurial accelerator of its kind in Afula, started on 2019 by the Small and Medium Business Agency (SMBA) in the Ministry of Economy and Industry and operated by it's executive arm Maof, in cooperation with the local municipalities and professional directors selected to run the program.
The goal of the program is to provide a solution for technological entrepreneurs in national priority regions and to enable entrepreneurs to develop their startup toward an initial raising of capital. The program was set up to bridge the existing gap between the startup and hi-tech scene in the center of Israel and national priority areas around the country which lack this kind of activity. Some of the programs' goals are to promote and create an entrepreneurial technological eco-system while fostering community activities, supporting the entrepreneurs themselves and bringing investors and stakeholders to national priority regions.Read More....
