Independent Israeli deep-tech accelerator relaunched in 2025, selecting 10 pre-seed and seed startups per three-month cohort.
Ignite DeepTech is an independent Israeli deep-tech accelerator that relaunched in April 2025 after Intel closed the former Intel Ignite programme. Backed by the Israel Innovation Authority, the Ministry of Economy, and Intel as a client, it runs a three-month programme selecting approximately 10 early-stage startups from hundreds of applicants. It provides mentorship on sales, marketing, product development, fundraising, and US market entry, focusing on AI, cybersecurity, robotics, and biotech. The original Intel Ignite programme supported 200+ startups that collectively raised $2.5B. Program duration: 3 months.
