December 2016
I just returned from my first trip to China, taking 5 Israeli startups to the beautiful island of Hainan to pitch and meet with dozens of Chinese investors hungry for new technology. In just 2 days of networking, I learned more about business in China than in years of working with incoming Chinese delegations in Israel.

ABOUT
Through our virtual platform, leading automotive OEM’s, Tier 1’s, and technology players will connect with cutting edge startups through pitch sessions, keynote presentations, panel discussions, and one and one meetings. Axis DICE is a must-attend opportunity for startup or corporate innovators building the future in-car experience and eager for networking, business development, and investment opportunities.
...and more attending!
The automotive industry is undergoing a dramatic period of change, and the in-car experience is becoming one of the most important areas of disruption and opportunity. While electric and autonomous technology will change how we drive (or are driven), in-car technologies will change what we do in the car. What we do - through both software and hardware innovation - is revolutionizing how we interact with the car and how we’ll spend our time in the vehicle. Moreover, it represents a massive business opportunity - connected services will be worth an estimated $81 billion by 2030. As a result of these trends, automotive OEMs and technology providers are actively looking to startups to innovate the in-car experience and create new partnerships.
IN-CAR
OPPORTUNITY
ISRAEL & EUROPE
Over 500 startups in Europe and Israel provide new technology and business solutions for the in-car experience. From in-car entertainment, payments, health, productivity, navigation, gaming, and more, drivers and passengers are benefiting from new capabilities with the connected car. This event will bring together both sides - automotive corporations and startups - to exchange ideas, discuss future challenges, and network together.
The In-Car Experience is one of the core focuses of Axis Innovation. For the past 8 years, we’ve served as innovation consultants for major automotive OEM companies, scouted over 3,000 automotive startups in Israel and Europe, advised dozens of automotive startups on business development and fundraising, and wrote the industry leading “In-Car Experience” Report in January 2020.
Additionally, we are experts in conference management and producing virtual events. We’ve organized over 60 in person events in 20 countries for more than 10,000 participants, and in 2020 organized 10 webinars and virtual events with over 3,000 attendees. We understand how to make effective conferences (in-person or virtual) where quality is our first priority and creating new business connections and networking opportunities that you don’t get at other events.
