Study entrepreneurship at the Israel Summer Business Academy

Israel Summer Business Academy (ISBA)

June 18–August 3, 2023

“I came to ISBA knowing little about venture capital or entrepreneurship, and I walked away feeling like an expert.” — Noah, University of Michigan

IBSA overview Launched in the summer of 2014, the Israel Summer Business Academy is designed for students of all faiths, beliefs, and academic backgrounds who want to learn about Israeli business firsthand – and immerse themselves in the country’s innovative environment.


Israel is a nation that encourages start-ups.

Israel has more start-ups per capita than any other country in the world, with 65 percent of the companies still in business after five years. Israel – with a population of about 8 million – is No. 3 on the list of countries with the most companies on NASDAQ, behind only the United States and China.

You must have a 3.0 GPA to be eligible for ISBA, and meet all eligibility requirements, but previous business course work in or knowledge of Israel isn’t a requirement. Apply online for ISBA.
