Israel-Canada Innovation Platform
The bridge between Israeli innovation and the Canadian market
Who We Are
Israel-Canada Innovation Platform (ICIP) is a bilateral organization that advances corporate innovation in Canada and delivers exceptional Israeli technology companies into the Canadian market through market penetration insights and high-trust introductions to customers and capital.
We work in industries where Canada holds a distinct advantage and is positioned to benefit from Israeli innovation. Israeli startups receive market evaluation, go-to-market strategy, in-market testing, and soft-landing services. Canadian corporates and investors receive market education, curated scouting, and proofs of concept, alongside deal flow sourced on the ground in Tel Aviv.
We scale Israeli companies through Canadian partnership and anchor lasting economic activity in Canada.
