Enel, an electricity producer based in Italy, has opened its first innovation hub in Israel. The company sees innovation as necessary for its growth strategy and to compete with new sources of energy. The hub aims to connect with 300 start-ups annually and select up to 20 for a six-month program. Enel hopes that three to five of these start-ups will become commercial companies working in association with the company. The hub is seen as an example of a new mode of interaction between countries and businesses, based on innovation partnerships rather than traditional economic ties. Israeli companies traditionally viewed corporations like Enel as sources of branding and distribution, but now the focus is on the innovation itself as the product for corporations.

The Junction, a start-up accelerator in Israel, is changing its program to focus on fewer start-ups and increase its investment stake in the companies. Instead of accepting eight new companies for three-month sessions, The Junction will now select 20 companies for a two-day start-up boot camp and choose only four to six companies for a six-month period. Start-ups will be offered $50,000 in funding in exchange for 5 percent equity. The accelerator has big-name partners like SAP, Facebook, and Amazon to offer guidance and mentorship. The change is motivated by the crowded start-up space and the desire to find more investment opportunities for Genesis, the investment firm that founded The Junction. Graduating start-ups will compete for investments from Genesis.
