Techstars, a network that says it speeds up innovation through collaboration, with some 50 international programs targeting a range of fields, announced its new accelerator program for Israel this year.

Scheduled to run from April 4 to Demo Day on July 1, the 13-week program will comprise 10 technology companies from diverse disciplines. These companies, handpicked from hundreds of applications, will receive an investment of up to $120,000 each on top of mentorships, access to the Techstars global network, introduction to business professionals, and ties with industry leaders and investors worldwide.
