Prof. Ehud Gazit, Chairman of the Ramot Entrepreneurs Company, and Vice President of Research and Development at Tel Aviv University, describes the great advantages and disadvantages of the Israeli entrepreneur.
Against the background of the World Entrepreneurship Week, he gives some advice and insights that will help every budding entrepreneur on his way
What is the great advantage that the Israeli entrepreneur has, compared to entrepreneurs from other countries? "The Israelis are so creative, they break every boundary, they can take an illusory idea and turn it into a real product in the end," says Professor Ehud Gazit, chairman of Ramot Entrepreneurs, and vice president of research and development at Tel Aviv University, to Ynet. Gazit, an entrepreneur and inventor, is participating in the World Entrepreneurship Week, which is taking place for the second year, and for the first time includes activities and events in Israel as well.
And what is the disadvantage of the Israeli entrepreneur? "The big disadvantage of the Israelis, as we know, is the mess, the lack of order, reinventing the wheel, not checking what happened before in other places. But it is also part of Israeli life," Gazit replies.
Entrepreneurship Week in Israel is led by the Bronitza Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation and the Technion Knowledge Center for Innovation, the Esper Center for Entrepreneurship at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the MIT Entrepreneurship Forum at Tel Aviv University.
The purpose of the activities carried out as part of Entrepreneurship Week is to encourage and stimulate entrepreneurship, innovation and creativity among potential entrepreneurs. The activities are open and intended for any entrepreneur, and include workshops, lectures, unique meetings between experienced entrepreneurs and beginners, between graduates of entrepreneurship classes.

And that's it? Here are the advantages and disadvantages of the "Israeli entrepreneur"?
Why and why this shallowness?
I came up with an idea that is worth a lot of money. A button for home phones that when pressed the phone calls the last number dialed.
Yes indeed
And so some Israeli entrepreneur is trying to develop a blue and white cell phone and compete with a cell phone giant like Nokia that has been on the market for decades
And he's surprised that it doesn't work for him, and he claims that the device will be a hit...
