This week, host Eve Young, economics correspondent for The Jerusalem Post, interviews Keren Shurkin, Director of the UK-Israel Tech Hub at the British Embassy in Israel and Ronit Applebaum, the hub's Healthcare Innovation Lead.
Keren and Ronit will talk about economic and tech diplomacy, what they are and how they can connect nations. They will explain how economic ties are used to bolster diplomatic ones, and how the UK-Israel Tech Hub at the British Embassy in Israel is part of this.
Keren and Ronit will talk about the hub's role in connecting innovators across the UK and Israel and how they help Israeli entrepreneurs prepare for work in the UK market. They will discuss the importance of "soft skills" in innovation and talk about how the hub stays on the cutting edge of tech.
They will also talk about their experience as women in tech, why representation is important for better innovation, and how the hub is working to support representation of a diverse population.
