Israel is a global hub for startups, offering an energetic springboard for creative ideas and technologies that are revolutionizing the Tech, TV and New Media landscapes. Israeli creators and creations are drawing attention from across the globe.

Jerusalem provides the ideal stage for this unique gathering of industry thought-leaders.

Israel’s leading media company specialises in reaching audiences through existing and emerging media platforms with top-rated programmes and ground-breaking content. At the forefront of the global group’s portfolio is Keshet 12, Israel’s most watched free-to-air commercial channel.

Following the Channel 2 split in 2017, Keshet 12’s commercial share has grown to 42.8% and the channel continues to dominate Israel’s TV ratings across all time slots (12PM through 2AM) – in prime time, late night, on Fridays, for the news, and the Top 10 Shows. This ratings success has been powered by a diverse raft of innovative in-house productions and commissions from local independent producers, including When Heroes Fly, Israel’s highest rating drama to date; and Rising Star Israel, the international hit format that discovered Israel’s Eurovision winner, Netta.

Since its inception 25 years ago, Keshet has expanded its media and entertainment businesses to include Israel’s No1 streaming service, web portal and mobile app, Mako, with an average of 20M views per month; the cable and satellite channel, Music 24; and a burgeoning array of e-commerce, news and lifestyle web sites. Keshet is a privately held company represented by WME.
