British investment interest in Israeli companies will be tested next week, when representatives of 15 Israeli start-ups companies are due to fly to the UK to meet their opposite numbers in the technology hub of London.

The Israeli business group, whose companies include a universal social contact book and one which specialises in text-to-video technology, will have the opportunity to meet British leaders in the gaming, mobile, social media and video markets.

The opportunity arose after an eight-strong panel at the British Embassy’s Tech Hub in Tel Aviv selected 15 companies — out of 128 applicants — to take part in an exchange programme between the UK and Israel, TeXchange.

Lucy Blechner, digital manager of the UK Israel Tech Hub, will lead the first four-day TeXchange trip on November 25, which will focus on internet companies with solutions.
