Locally Docked. Globally Minded.

As part of Israel’s national port, we have a first-hand understanding of the immense challenges posed by the global supply chain, and as a result, we understand even better just how important it is to innovate across the board.

That’s what has motivated us to create a unique entrepreneurial ecosystem to tackle the industry’s most pressing challenges and unearth its greatest opportunities.

Driven by Necessity

"Digital transformation is the only way forward for the global maritime industry, and to achieve that you need to surround the right talent with an ecosystem of success. You need to provide them with the best chance to succeed. This is what we do best."

Roy Avrahami, Chief Innovation Officer & Director of CVC

A Culture of Change

As part of the Ashdod Port, we believe that change starts within. With an extensive training program for the port’s employees, we are committed to turning them into the 1st generation of innovation agents; the boots on the ground for integrating the novel technologies of our startups.

But the ship doesn't stop there, we also encourage them to become entrepreneurs themselves, as we believe their unique perspective of seeing the challenges and opportunities first-hand is both invaluable and inspiring.
