01Beginnings
CannaTech Tel Aviv is mainly a conference, and the pitch session is one part of it. A 2018 Time Out Israel piece describes it as an annual med-tech conference in Tel Aviv that runs for two days1.
Neither article says when it started. Neither gives a founding year or an edition number12.
02The story
The 2019 edition took place on 1 and 2 April in Tel Aviv, according to a photo report published on 4 April2. The organisers said about 1,000 people came, from 45 countries2.
On the final day, five companies pitched to judges. Kassi won with its consumer-oriented product2.
The sources do not say who the judges were, what the prize was, or how the other four companies did.
03Culture and people
The 2018 coverage names speakers including Steve D'Angelo of Fortune Magazine, Alon Gertner of Hiku Brands, Dr. David Meiri of the Technion and Benji Stern of CiiTech1. The same piece singled out Tikun Olam as a large, integrated company1.
The 2019 report names Saul Kaye as the organiser, describing him as CEO and founder of CannaTech and of iCAN: Israel-Cannabis2. iCan, described as an Israeli cannabis incubator, had a booth at the event2.
Policy came up too. Israel's health minister, named as Basson, said 565 farms had applied for medical cannabis licences and 384 had passed the first round of tests2. The same report puts the number of people using medical cannabis in Israel at about 40,0002.
04Where it stands now
The sources do not say whether the event, or its pitch session, still runs today. The most recent edition they cover is the one from April 20192.
The 2018 article does not mention any winners, so the sources do not say whether a pitch contest was part of that year's event1.
05What comes next
The sources do not say anything about future editions, dates or plans for the pitch.
