DESCRIPTION

SOSA is a global innovation company built to craft and execute open innovation solutions for international corporates, governments and cities.
SOSA bridges the gap between the supply and demand of corporate innovation and helps global corporates push and enhance innovation by connecting them to meticulously and strategically selected technologies. SOSA offers a bespoke, highly curated, and unbiased tech scouting and deal flow service, matching global corporates with tangible solutions and top talent, facilitating dozens of business transactions every year.
SOSA operates as the heart of the Tel Aviv, New York and London tech ecosystems, with state-of-the-art physical centers in all locations. The centers act as meeting places for SOSA’s widespread network of key industry stakeholders which includes more than 15,000 startups and over 250 investors, venture-capital funds and leading international corporations.
SOSA also offers disruptive tech startups the opportunity to grow and build their business as permanent residents at the SOSA centers and to enjoy SOSA’s unique positioning and global network.
Since 2019, SOSA is the official operator of the New York City Global Cyber center, which acts as the hub for all stakeholders within the Cybersecurity industry. The center offers curated cyber security programming, such as Cyber Corporate Innovation, government programs, networking events and mentorship sessions.
SOSA is a global open innovation company. SOSA works with innovation teams and business units in corporations (like LG, HP, Schneider Electric, Zurich insurance, Swiss Re) and governments (like Australia, Brazil, Canada, and Taiwan). The firm scouts and validates startups and technologies to bring our clients the solutions they need to solve acute problems, identify opportunities, or build new products. Think noise-canceling headphones for the endless supply of startups.

Since 2014, we’ve literally been in the room facilitating discussions between large organizations and tech companies. From the first touchpoint all the way to pilots, implementations, and investments, we find our clients precisely the technologies they need to advance innovation.
