The person who inaugurated the building today was the developer and investor Erel Margalit. "There are many areas in which we could invest and go on this journey, we chose to do it here in the Galilee," he explained at the Hanukkah ceremony. "If you look from space to Earth and look for the place where the two revolutions took place - agricultural and technological - you see Israel and the Galilee. This area has all the data, climate and agriculture, research institutes and academic centers, but beyond that in the Galilee there are amazing people.
" Of a social connection between groups that have made a revolution themselves, "Margalit continued." The new center opens a door to the world. We pave the way for local entrepreneurs to become international. From today every local entrepreneur has a bridge to the world. We have created an infrastructure through all the centers of 'Margalit Startup City' for exposure to international investors, research and academic centers and international companies. "
