Having commenced its operations in Israel nearly seven years back, Internet search giant Google launched its start-up incubator in the country on Monday, December 10.

Inaugurated by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the start-up incubator - which will be essentially a center for Israeli entrepreneurs and start-up companies - has been named Campus Tel Aviv.

The campus occupies one complete 16,000-square-foot floor of the Electra Tower in Tel Aviv; and will include a place for meetings as well as workshops for Israel-based startup companies.

Describing Campus Tel Aviv as "a hub for entrepreneurs and developers located in the heart of the startup nation," Google said that the start-up incubator will chiefly serve as a center for developers and entrepreneurs, giving them a platform to "attend and organize events with speakers, mentors and other entrepreneurs."

Moreover, along with launching the Campus Tel Aviv start-up incubator, Google also revealed that it will provide training to Israeli start-up entrepreneurs by the way of two-week boot camp - called `LaunchPad' - which will give them a chance to interact with Google work teams and industry experts.

Noting that using the campus and participation in its activities will be free for entrepreneurs and startups, Google Israel CEO Meir Brand said that the company's ongoing investment in Israel proves that the country has "extraordinary talent," and is "committed to continue strengthening the Internet's contribution to the Israeli economy and public."
