Intel Ignite is a global corporate startup program for early-stage startups launched in 2019 by Intel.[1][2] The program debuted in Tel Aviv and later expanded to include cities in the United States and Germany.[3][4]

Its global program is run by Zack Weisfeld, a former global head of Microsoft for Startups, and Ranny Nachmias is in charge of its Israeli chapter.[5][6]

History

In December 2020, the program completed three batches, and companies funded in the final round raised more than $5 million.

In the first quarter of 2021, the program expanded to Austin, Texas and Munich, Germany.[7]
