With the recent news of China gradually reopening its borders for businesses and talents and the significant reduction of covid restrictions, now more than ever, China is a lucrative destination for Israeli entrepreneurs who are expanding their offshore business.

For this reason, several outstanding accelerators are dedicated to assisting Israeli startups in localizing their solutions to the Chinese market and finding strategic investors, distributors and clients in the second-largest market in the world.

Like every year, Geektime analyzes the performance of top accelerators in Israel and this year, one of the most prominent and active Chinese accelerator programs was HCH Ventures; they have therefore been granted Geektime’s "Best Chinese Accelerato of 2022". The prize was granted to Mr. Du Chunlong, Overseas GM Of HCH Ventures, in a nomination meeting with the Geektime team in Tel-Aviv.
