Indeni Listed as Semi-Finalist JVP Start-up Competition

The JVP International Startup Competition was part of Calcalist’s Mind the Tech Conference in New York and attracted over 120 candidate companies competing for a $1 million award. Its purpose was to identify disruptive startups ready to scale across varied technology domains and to select semi-finalists and eventual winners based on predefined criteria. The competition aimed to connect promising teams with JVP and global industry partners to support growth and market penetration.

Winners in the competition were selected based on three main criteria: product differentiation, which evaluates core technology that offers a unique solution to a business need; stage, which considers where the company stands from ideation to initial market penetration; and a wild card category for strong technical teams that demonstrate potential to build a company with JVP and global industry leaders. These criteria were applied to assess readiness to scale and fit for partnership and investment.

Program partners included Tesco Labs, Rise Tel Aviv in partnership with Barclays, Microsoft Accelerator, Deloitte, and Pepsico. Participating companies covered a wide range of fields such as Big Data and Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security, FinTech, Mobility, Enterprise Software, Storage, Cloud Technologies, Mobile Media Technologies, IoT, Food Tech, Agro Tech, and Health IT and Medical Devices. The diversity of partners and participant domains reflects the competition’s focus on cross-industry innovation and scaling potential.
