Aviv Frenkel

After 20 years in Israel national media, working in Israel's top TV, radio, print and digital outlets, I've decided to co-found ENROUTE. a start up in the automotive ecosystem. Until recently I was the senior tech and automotive correspondent and anchorman at Channel 10, one of Israel's leading TV channels, acquiring a vast network in the media, tech and automotive industries both in Israel and around the world. Being a Tech correspondent and anchorman, meant discovering new startups and technologies, in order to unveil the ways human life will change in the future. During my career in Channel 10, one of Israel's leading TV channels, I have had the privilege to give the public first glimpse on technologies that have transformed society (WAZE and PrimeSense were among the startups I had the honour to be the first TV journalist to introduce to the public). During my career I have been the anchorman of Tech shows on Israeli national TV, have directed documentary films, and had the opportunity to interview some of the most influential CEOs in the business, from eBay to Intel, as well as entrepreneurs and investors. Alongside my journalistic career, I am completing my M.A. degree in the department of East Asian studies in the Tel Aviv University, where I have studied Mandarin Chinese as well as history and culture of China. My Mandarin helped me a lot when I was sent to cover the 2008 Beijing Olympics for Channel 10. I am also giving lectures and moderating panels concerning the technology world, in Israel and abroad.
