Foreword Dear Reader Over the last year Deloitte has researched, engaged and actively participated in building the foundations of the global ecosystem of blockchain. Although blockchain has already become a trending buzz word (for better or worse), we believe 2016 will be the year in which this technology will start making waves within traditional businesses and industries. This publication is a first-of-its-kind overview of the rising Israeli blockchain ecosystem. The report focuses on the potential of the Israeli blockchain ecosystem and offers unique mapping of the leading players within this ecosystem. Deloitte Israel has positioned itself as a bridge to innovation and is actively connecting global organizations with Israeli startups and entrepreneurs. We encourage you to reach out, discuss and explore ,together with us, how you can leverage the power of our ecosystem both locally and globally. Best regards, Amit Harel Innovation Practice Leader Deloitte Israel 2
