"The Floor"?

The Floor, based at the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE), is the first fintech hub of its kind in Israel. Backed by Pando Group, a $250 million Chinese-Israeli venture capital fund headquartered in the British Virgin Islands, The Floor hosts local fintech entrepreneurs and provides access to Israeli fintech for leading international financial players, tech giants and venture capitalists. The hub has partnerships with international banks such as HSBC, RBS, Santander and Intesa Sanpaolo.

 

The Floor’s business model seems similar to that of London-based innovation lab Level39, which in 2015 started hosting a blockchain innovation project of giant Swiss bank UBS.

 

“Intel brings a powerful multidisciplinary approach that could help Israel become a global capital in the field of fintech,” said Gil Devora, cofounder of The Floor.
