Grove Ventures at AWS re:Invent: Israeli Innovation, Infrastructure & DevOps

Grove Ventures at AWS re:Invent

The annual AWS re:Invent conference in Las Vegas once again served as an unparalleled global stage for cutting-edge innovation, industry leadership, and groundbreaking advancements in cloud computing, AI, DevOps, and infrastructure technologies. As one of the most influential events in the tech world, AWS re:Invent brings together visionary founders, top investors, and industry pioneers to discuss the trends shaping the future of technology.

Grove Ventures was proud to actively participate in this premier event, with General Partners Lotan Levkowitz and Lior Handelsman engaging with leading entrepreneurs, investors, and tech executives throughout the week.

AWS & Israeli Innovation on a Global Stage

A major highlight of our participation was co-hosting “Pioneering Infrastructure: The Israeli Innovation Showcase”, an exclusive event dedicated to groundbreaking infrastructure and DevOps advancements. What is more, this gathering, which was held in collaboration with esteemed partners including Battery Ventures, Onfire, UMTB USA, Eon.io, Apono, Team8, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and RTFM, served as a platform for visionary discussions and knowledge-sharing among industry leaders.

The event featured leading Israeli infrastructure startups, showcasing how cutting-edge cloud, security, and data solutions are redefining the global technology landscape. We believe that Israeli-founded companies are at the forefront of enterprise innovation, driving resilient, scalable, and efficient next-generation solutions.

Platform Forward: Showcasing Next-Gen Infrastructure Startups

Moreover, we teamed up with Team8, AWS, and Datadog to co-host “Platform Forward”, which was an exclusive session where eight pioneering infrastructure startups had the opportunity to share their vision, technology, and impact with potential customers, partners, and industry experts. As it is, these startups are tackling some of the most complex challenges in cloud infrastructure, security, and automation, further solidifying Israel’s reputation as a powerhouse of tech innovation.
