“The start-up intensity, the state of mind that everything is possible, the understanding that the only limit is your imagination, inspires both in professional life and in private life” is how Yoash Ben-Eliezer, assistant to the CEO of Tempo Beverages, summed up the fourth public cycle of X Labs.

Three years ago, we recognized the need in many organizations in Israel to design a high-quality management layer that can identify, build, and adapt a very fast business-digital-technological response organization to the needs of customers.

During our continuous work with our clients, and with most of the managements of the enterprise organizations in Israel, we see how long it takes from the moment a business manager or technology leader or digital leader in the organization comes up with a business idea, to a business venture of game-changing value for the end customer, to the moment the organization has an initial digital venture Worker, the time is very long and many times the long time makes the whole story irrelevant already and the organization loses points in its business advantage.

This is exactly where Xlabs comes in with an answer to this challenge

Today the fourth public cycle of X-Labs ended, which included a high-quality team of 32 VPs of digital, data, innovation and information systems from major organizations in Israel.

The public X-Labs is an entrepreneurship program designed for management members of all the largest organizations in the economy and intended to train and assimilate a startup culture, tools, products and processes from the world of entrepreneurship for the benefit of producing new growth engines, to allow organizations to refine and refine the value proposition and the business focus and to come out quickly with a relevant business initiative in the range of 3 months only.

In a journey of 14 intensive weeks, the participants learned and developed 3 digital business ventures from the stage of identifying the challenge, through the construction of the idea and business plan to a working product at the MVP level. Everything at a fast pace and with a minimal budget just like in a startup.

The most popular phrase here is MVP and I’m already thinking about how to implement this program in my organization…” says Gil Zissou, MNR and head of Digital Housing and Construction.

Already over 250 business, technologist and digital managers have gone through the various Xlabs programs and we can say for sure, we see the business results in their organizations.

We had the pleasure of partnering with Google Cloud, which helps organizations accelerate digital transformation in their organization through its startup DNA, advanced cross-organizational solutions and breakthrough technology.
During the program, the participants met Google Cloud experts and expertise from various fields, were exposed to innovative tools and capabilities from the fields of data, AI, and cloud infrastructure.
The projects were developed on top of Google Cloud, leveraging the relative advantages of Google’s technology in the new Region that was recently launched in Israel, a move that expresses great confidence in our country.

We worked in total synergy. From the integration of Googlers within the venture groups to the planning and execution of the plans and ideas.
The fruitful collaboration brought a huge contribution to the participants of the program.

We wish the best of luck to the graduates of X-Labs #4 and welcome to the participants of X-Labs #5 which will open in March 2023.
