Hightech Delegation
22-25 April 2025
March of
the Living 2025
What we stand for
From the start, our mission was to sponsor and support the Holocaust Survivors Delegation, ensuring they could take part in the March of the Living and share their stories with future generations. Standing with them is our commitment to remembrance, fighting antisemitism, and preserving their legacy.
Alongside them, the High-Tech Delegation joins the march for the first time—not only in solidarity but as an active statement of responsibility. By walking side by side, we reaffirm our dedication to honoring the past, standing united against hatred, and shaping a future built on memory, resilience, and collective action.
Our Delegation
The delegation brings together executives and employees from Israel’s leading global growth companies, VCs, and even a startup—each different in scale but united by a shared commitment to resilience and growth. This initiative is deeply connected to two other delegations: the Survivor Delegation, which we proudly supported, and the October 7th Delegation, both highlighting the strength and solidarity of Israel’s tech ecosystem in the battle against violence and antisemitism.
