The inaugural Israel Growth Summit in 2017 marked a significant milestone for the country's tech ecosystem, providing a platform for the first time where CEOs of growth-stage companies could come together to share insights, voice concerns, and discuss the unique challenges they face as part of the Israeli tech scene. The event was a huge success, fostering a sense of community and collaboration among industry leaders. Its overwhelming positive reception laid the foundation for making the summit an annual event, ensuring ongoing dialogue and support for the continued growth and innovation of Israel's tech sector.

The 2018 Israel Growth Summit, co-hosted by Viola and the Israel Growth Forum, brought together over 150 founders, CEOs, and senior executives from Israel's leading growth-stage companies. This event focused on key themes of strategy, execution, and financial aspects critical to scaling growth-stage businesses.

2019 marked a transformative period for Israel's growth ecosystem, shaped by geopolitical shifts and disruptive business models that significantly impacted scaling companies. In the lead-up to the third Growth Summit, the number of Israeli growth-stage companies continued to rise, with more founders facing the challenges of scaling. These growth challenges became the central focus of discussions at the summit.

The 4th edition of the Israel Growth Summit, held in 2021 focused on the dramatic shifts in the Israeli tech ecosystem following the pivotal year of 2020. With 16 new unicorns, 19 public offerings, and $3.3 billion raised in mega-rounds, Israel began its transition from a "Startup Nation" to a "Tech Nation." As the country faced unprecedented growth, the summit addressed the emerging challenges of the post-COVID-19 "new normal," including the future of work, maintaining corporate culture in a hybrid or fully remote environment, and sustaining productivity during rapid expansion.

The 5th Israel Growth Summit, held in 2023 by Viola and the Israel Growth Forum, took place amid significant political turmoil and unrest in the country. Despite the challenging backdrop, the summit successfully brought together over 120 CEOs from Israel's leading growth-stage companies to discuss the theme of "Growth in Turbulent Times." Echoing Churchill's famous words, "never let a good crisis go to waste," the event emphasized the importance of sharing best practices to build resilience and effectively navigate through uncertainty.

The 6th Israel Growth Summit, held in 2024 took on special significance after the devastating events of October 7th followed by months of ongoing conflict, making the decision to proceed with the event all the more meaningful. This annual gathering provided a crucial platform for leaders in the Israeli tech ecosystem to reflect on the past year, exchange insights on the latest industry developments, and strategize for the future. The summit emphasized the importance of resilience and optimism in uncertain times, reinforcing Israel's commitment to being an economy that fosters both innovation and growth.
