"Healthcare Infrastructures of the Future"
Call for Israeli Startups
Israeli Tech Mission to Paris – Oct. 6-7, 2026
Can your tech reshape the future of healthcare infrastructure?
Healthcare Infrastructures leaders are scouting Israeli startups for pilots and partnerships.
Selected startups will present their solutions to decision‑makers from three focus areas:
medical facilities, systems & operations, and patient journeys.
medical
facilities
Reimagine the physical spaces where care happens, from hospitals and clinics to modular, adaptive, and resilient medical environments. We are looking for solutions that improve design, construction, flexibility, equipment integration, and overall facility performance.
SYSTEMS & OPERATIONS
Build the invisible backbone of healthcare with smarter systems that improve reliability, efficiency, and day-to-day operations. We are especially interested in solutions for energy, HVAC, connectivity, digital twins, AI, and operational performance.
Patients'
care
Design solutions that improve the full patient journey, from prevention and early detection to follow-up, recovery, and care at home. We are especially interested in startups that support mental health, prevention, telemedicine, remote monitoring, and more human-centered pathways that reduce friction and improve continuity of care.
What’s in it for the selected Israelis?
✅ Get full attention from these multinationals’ top executives who invite Israeli-only guests (from Business Units, Innovation dept., Top Management and more).

FAQ
Does it cost money to apply or participate?
No, there are no strings attached. Any startup or innovative team can apply without any kind of payment and participate without any kind of fees. Nevertheless, flight and accommodation are paid by the Israeli startup or team, as a proof of commitment.
Who can apply?
Any Israeli team, from a startup or an innovative project in academia or SME can apply. We need at least one Israeli co-founder, even if the incorporation is not in Israel.
Do you accept teams from the Academia?
Researchers who have developed a technology that is TRL 5+ can apply to this call for proposals, preferably via an external entity with exclusive patent rights.
Who should travel to Paris if selected?
Since you’ll meet top executives of the multinationals, we highly suggest you to join ready to discuss strategy and tech, and not only sales. Sometimes, CEO and a tech executive is great, sometimes people in charge of France/Europe are good too (including a local partner, in additional to 1 Israeli teammate)
How the selection is done?
We have 3 different circles of screening: the Challengy team first, then the ecosystem circle (based on our partners) and then the multinationals’ participants – who are the ones who confirm the final invitations.
Can we participate online?
Not in this mission. The FR/EU multinationals are making a big effort to identify what matters for them and select the finalists. They will be there, so if they are important to you, be there too.
How will you prepare the finalist teams?
For the finalist teams that are accepted to join the delegation, we’ll propose a preparation bootcamp. Stay tuned.
What if a major information occurs after the application?
In such a case, send us the information by email to yossi@Challengy.com
