Our Vision
To build a dynamic bilateral accelerator that empowers entrepreneurs, startups, and tech companies from Canada and Israel to scale globally, drive collaborative innovation, and unlock access to international investment opportunities.
Our Mission
To advance bilateral access to breakthrough technologies by seamlessly connecting two of the world’s most innovative and dynamic business ecosystems—Canada and Israel.
Our Story
Welcome to the Israel-Canada Strategic Network (ICAN)—your trusted partner in transformative cross-border business development. ICAN was born from a clear recognition of the immense potential for synergy between two global innovation leaders: Canada and Israel. We set out to bridge these ecosystems by creating a robust platform that empowers businesses to grow and succeed through strategic collaboration, shared expertise, and bilateral opportunity. Rooted in a belief that meaningful impact comes from execution—not just advice—we founded ICAN as a collective of entrepreneurs, business leaders, and investors with deep ties to both countries. Together, we’ve cultivated a vibrant network of like-minded professionals and organizations, all committed to helping companies reach their highest potential.
