3DS Haifa looks promising!

Greetings my good folks - yesterday was an awesome experience to meet up with so many bright and beautiful people in Haifa to discuss 3DS Haifa event.

The young adults center recently built by the municipality of Haifa - who also hosted last year's Startup Weekend - gathered a great meeting of minds for us.

We met with the Technion Entrepreneurship center Director, a representative of the Boston-Haifa connection, and of course the various people involved with Haifa and the young adult center entrepreneurship programs.

Shai - a graduate of the Technion who also went overseas to get an MBA - has also been staying in the loop and is now one of our Haifa organizers on the ground up north.

The really exciting part of all this is the collaboration possibilities here:
1) Boston-Haifa connection is interested in setting up stronger ties with MIT and Technion (or Haifa in general) - especially since the Cornell & Technion partnership.
2) Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) looks to be a promising date for setting up the Haifa event, as it is a big week-long activity focus on entrepreneurship here in Israel and especially in Haifa.
3) Setting up an MIT event has been a goal of 3DS for some time. Initial contact has apparently already taken place, and as we already have a Boston 3DS event at Brandeis University it has generated some attention from MIT. Pushing it from our angle in Haifa by doing a tandem event during GEW sounds like a very exciting opportunity.

So how does a tandem, GEW 3DS Haifa event + 3DS MIT event sound to you?
I'm sure the press will go crazy about it!
That sure sounds good to me!
Lets start building an even stronger startup community in Haifa!
