Kicking off  Forbes #Under30Summit by ringing the Opening Bell at the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange!

The Under 30 Summit EMEA convenes the greatest young entrepreneurs and game-changers from America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa to foster world-changing ideas and collaborations. Our host cities, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, serve as a perfect backdrop: they are the most entrepreneurial places on the planet, with more startups per capita than Silicon Valley. Last year’s event was the highest-rated in Forbes history

Obiwanne Okeke was on the panel discussing “Guerrilla Financing: Funding the Next Wave of Innovation From startup to scaleup, what will drive the next wave of growth? An all-time investing legend and founders from the 30 under 30 share new funding models, new investment approaches, new priorities and where they’re looking to put money next.” On Sunday, April 2nd, he joined other Forbes Under 30 Summit EMEA participants to ring the Opening Bell at the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. The summit officially kicked off at the end of the day with a welcome party on the shores of the Mediterranean.

Having the opportunity to travel Jerusalem and visiting such religious site like the Tomb of Jesus, Western Wall, City and Tower of David is mind blowing. I’m having an awesome time here in Israel. – Obiwanne Okeke
