Montreal Innovation Exchange – Inside Israel’s Capital Edge

Montreal - TBA / October 22, 2026
6:30 PM - 9:00 PM

Inside Israel’s Capital Venture Edge

What powers a country of under 10 million people to produce more NASDAQ-listed companies per capita than any nation on earth? Join Technion Canada on October 22 for an evening with Gal Gitter, Israel-focused growth-stage investor overseeing $1B in assets, as he unpacks the opportunties in Israel’s innovation ecosystem.

Last year alone, Israel’s startup scene produced two of its largest exits to date, Wiz and Armis, with a combined valuation of nearly $55 billion. This year, the Technion was ranked #1 in Israel and Europe for AI research, with graduates recruited directly by NVIDIA, Intel, and Google. Whether you work in finance, tech, or venture capital, or business, this is a rare chance to hear directly from someone deploying capital in this market.

Gal Gitter is a Partner at Alpha Partners, focused on Israel growth-stage investing. Prior to Alpha, he led growth-stage investing at Ibex Investors, with over $1 billion in AUM, and was a founder and lead investor of the firm’s Secondary Fund. Prior to that, he was an Associate Partner at McKinsey & Company’s Venture Group, and leader of the Venture Group in Asia, as well as an Engagement Manager at the firm’s New York and Philadelphia offices.
