Special Discussion The high-tech industry in times of war

20.12.23

On 20.12.23, we held the prestigious Duns 100 forum and for the first time with the participation of HR and Employer Branding managers from the high-tech industry, for a special discussion dealing with the consequences of a war of iron swords.

The forum was led by Dan & Bradstreet executives: Joe Cohen, director of d&b business line in Israel, Ariel Schreiber, VP of sales, marketing and service, and Efrat Segev, CEO of the Israel Credit Bureau, who presented the situation in the industry and the effects of the war.

Among the participants, we were also pleased to host Orit Parkash HaCohen - Deputy Speaker of the Knesset and former Minister of Innovation, Eil Waldman, Chairman of Waldo Holdings and the founder of the Mellanox Company, and Sarit Firon - Managing Partner of Team 8, one of the leading investment funds in Israel.

As part of the discussion, we gave the participants a unique platform to describe the challenges they had to face since October 7th.

We were thrilled to hear about the wonderful initiatives taken for their employees, the victims, the evacuees and the Israeli military forces and to hear that despite the challenges, the continuity of business activity was not affected.

At the end of the discation, Joe Cohen referred to the sensitive and complex situation faced by the participants of the forum and called the creation of an emotional connection alongside doing a lot and continuing the business function as an art and that the world's sympathy for Israel exists more than we know and this is mainly thanks to our human capital here in Israel.
