Techcracker Lab, Chutzpah & the Start-up Nation

Early January, 50 of Hong Kong's scholars traveled to Israel in a journey to discover their own "chutzpah", a hebrew term for fearlessness and audacity which epitomizes the dedication, vigor, and tremendous success of the Israeli start-up community. From the nomadic life in the desert to the prestigious halls of Technion, Israel showed the students the power of innovation as a tool for survival and a force of growth. Visits to start-ups across Tel Aviv connected the participants with the brightest minds in the business, who not only opened their eyes to the future of technology but also taught them the secret to success: to try. The students returned to Hong Kong refreshed and inspired by the exhilarating Israeli spirit discovered in the streets of Israel.
