The Embassy of Israel in the Philippines, in partnership with IdeaSpace-QBO Innovation Hub (QBO), hosted a Qlitan Networking night on June 7 to motivate and uplift the startup industry in the Philippines.

'Israel is known as the startup nation with over 6,000 active startups. We have built a strong ecosystem joined by various innovation key players. We are even shifting from start-up nation to building a smart-up nation to sustain innovation and prepare in addressing future challenges,' Israeli Ambassador Ilan Fluss said in his opening remarks.
