THE UK and Israel have agreed to work more closely together in the areas of fintech and cyber security innovation.

TheCityUK, which represents financial services in the UK, and City TLV of Israel, which promotes Greater Tel-Aviv as an international financial centre, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to bolster digital innovation and collaboration between the two countries.

The MoU aims to benefit each country’s sectors through enhanced cross-border collaboration and initiatives.

The partnership is also expected to encourage new global business opportunities by streamlining the exchange of technology and expertise between both markets.

“Israel has the highest density of start-ups per capita in the world,” said Miles Celic, chief executive officer at TheCityUK.
