In today’s global innovation landscape, building platforms that drive business, media exposure, and meaningful partnerships is both an art and a science. Few embody this balance like Lior Halabi—founder of Share Media Agency, a visionary in tech brand strategy, and the architect behind the historic Israel Tech Week 2025.

Spanning over a year of planning, partnerships, media campaigns, and ecosystem development, Israel Tech Week is now considered the most comprehensive Israeli innovation showcase ever held in the United States.

🛠 Building the Brand: From Vision to Execution

🧩 From Concept to Identity

Lior Halabi conceived Israel Tech Week with a clear mission: to establish Miami as a launchpad for Israeli startups entering the U.S. market. He crafted the event’s name and messaging to reflect its international ambition. Working with creative partners, he shaped a bold, tech-forward visual identity aligned with the spirit of Israeli innovation.

🎨 Visuals, Materials, and Assets

The Share Media team, led by Halabi, executed a full creative rollout with the support of three graphic designers and a web team. Together, they delivered branded content for over 170 speakers and sponsors. This included signage, social media templates, printed brochures, and personalized materials for every participant and partner. Each element was designed to maintain consistency and elevate the overall experience.

🌐 Website, Tech Stack, and Tools

The launch of IsraelTechWeek.com provided a digital home for the event, featuring registration tools, agenda updates, and speaker profiles. The platform was optimized for SEO and mobile access, supporting the broader marketing strategy and user engagement.

🌍 Building a Community Ecosystem: The Miami_Israel Collective

Lior Halabi’s impact extends well beyond a single event. Together with his partner Ayal Stern, he co-founded the Miami_Israel Collective – a strategic initiative dedicated to bridging Israeli innovation with Florida’s rapidly growing tech ecosystem. Over just one year, the Collective produced 18 high-impact events, engaging over 1,500 participants, including startup founders, investors, ecosystem builders, government leaders, and media.

📰 Highlights Included:

→ First Miami Calcalist Tech & Invest Summit (Nov 13–15, 2024): The first major Israeli investment conference was held in Miami, connecting top-tier Israeli startups with Florida’s investment community. 🔗 Read more on Calcalist

These events laid the foundation for Israel Tech Week by building a year-round engagement pipeline across two continents. The result: a well-networked, media-backed, community-driven platform for long-term innovation exchange. All programs were held in English and hosted across the City of Miami, establishing strong local partnerships while deepening cross-border ties with Israel.
