DESCRIPTION

IBM Alpha Zone Accelerator offers a 6-month professional and deep immersion program that expands IBM's operations within the Israeli technology arena and forms a unique channel for identifying and promoting young companies, with whom IBM can later select to develop business and go-to-market models. The program has several areas of focus: Hybrid Cloud, Data and AI, Cyber, Sustainability and Quantum Computing. Participating Startups will have access to top-notch mentorship, technical and business consulting and support, as well as IBM & Red Hat technologies and infrastructure. It also includes access to venture capitalists and private investors, assistance in submitting requests to the Innovation Authority and consulting services from the best external advisors available, in legal, accounting, management of intellectual property, banking and user experience. Throughout the cohorts, IBM joined forces with industry leading partners like: Becton Dickinson (BD), UK National Health system (NHS), E.ON Germany and others in order to offer mentorship and guidance to the chosen startups, conduct proof of concepts (POCs) and become another significant channel for penetrating the global market. In the latest cohorts, new partnerships were announced with Menora Mivtachim and WIX offering to the accepted startups additional tracks exclusively designed for the Insurtech and SaaS Business Management startups. The Insurtech track also provides access to global enterprises such as Allianz (Germany), AXA (France), Dai-ichi Life (Japan), Maphre (Spain), Swiss.re (Switzerland), Qualitas (Mexico), State Farm (USA), and Australian Pension Fund (Australia).
At the conclusion of the program, each company has an opportunity to present at an Investor Demo Day to angel investors, venture capitalists, IBM executives, media, and industry leaders. Upon graduation, where possible, IBM seeks to market the solutions and assist the companies with international sales on a global level. IBM Alpha Zone has partnered with riHub - Rhode Island innovation hub that provides a soft-landing point to the US market for startups interested to expend their reach to this region.
IBM Alpha Zone also brings its technological and scouting expertise to innovation centers of Hadassah Medical Center (Hadassah Accelerator) and Ben Gurion Unversity of Negev (Oazis Accelerator).
