Who we serve
Two sides of the corridor, one specialist advisor
We serve APAC corporations seeking Israeli technology and Israeli companies seeking APAC market access. Each side makes the other more valuable.

For APAC corporations

You need external technology to stay competitive but can’t see the Israeli solution landscape. We make it visible, qualified, and actionable.

1

Strategic opportunity mapping Complimentary

We decompose your challenge into addressable technology needs and identify where Israel leads globally in each area.

2

Company matching & qualification

3

Deal orchestration

We structure the engagement, prepare both parties, manage cross-border complexity, and drive negotiations through to a signed agreement.

4

Ongoing corridor intelligence

Quarterly briefings, proactive technology alerts, and priority access to Israeli deal flow as your needs evolve.

For Israeli companies

Your technology is world-class but APAC is opaque. We provide the market knowledge, local relationships, and structured support to make it happen.

1

APAC opportunity scan Complimentary

A high-level read of where your technology fits within APAC market demand. Delivered within five business days.

2

Market assessment

Should you invest in APAC? We deliver a go/no-go recommendation with market sizing, regulatory landscape, and competitive analysis for your specific technology.

3

Market entry strategy

Which market first, which customer segments to target, what deal structures work, and introductions to qualified APAC buyers and partners.

4

APAC expansion partnership

Your de facto APAC business development arm. We attend meetings, prepare proposals, navigate negotiations, and provide local presence in Australia and across the region.

Beyond individual matches: solution architecture

Our deepest advisory value comes from seeing how multiple Israeli technologies can be assembled into integrated solutions for a single client challenge. Where others match one company to one need, we identify complementary technologies across the value chain and structure multi-party partnerships that neither side would find independently.

Sectors of focus
Where APAC demand is strongest
We focus on four sectors where Israeli innovation is globally recognised and APAC corporations face the most acute strategic challenges.
🔐

Cybersecurity

Israel is the world's most concentrated source of cybersecurity innovation. With a heritage of building some of the most sophisticated defence and intelligence technologies in existence, Israeli cyber companies are trusted by governments and enterprises across every major market. APAC's accelerating digital infrastructure makes this one of the highest-priority technology needs in the region.

Agriculture

Israel has developed world-class agricultural technology out of necessity, building precision irrigation, crop monitoring, and yield optimisation systems that now operate across some of the world's most challenging environments. APAC's scale of agricultural production, combined with increasing pressure from climate variability and labour costs, makes Israeli agritech highly relevant to Australian and regional operators.

🏥

Healthcare

Israeli healthtech spans diagnostics, digital health, medical devices, and AI-assisted clinical decision-making. Israeli companies have built a reputation for combining deep medical expertise with engineering rigour, producing technologies that are already operating in some of the world's most demanding healthcare systems. APAC's aging populations and healthcare infrastructure investment create strong conditions for adoption.

🌍

Climate & Energy

From water scarcity solutions and desalination technology to advanced materials for energy storage and environmental monitoring systems, Israeli companies are building the infrastructure of a lower-carbon economy. APAC faces some of the world's most significant climate transition requirements and is investing heavily in the technologies that can help meet them.

Our technology lens
Physical AI: the technology thread across all four sectors
Across cybersecurity, agriculture, healthcare, and climate, the most transformative Israeli companies are building at the intersection of artificial intelligence and the physical world. Sensors, robotics, edge computing, and autonomous systems are the enabling technologies that make Israeli solutions deployable at APAC scale. We bring this lens to every engagement.

About
Eitan Bienstock

Eitan Bienstock

Founder, Sigma Ventures
Previously Intel Capital · Founder, Intel Israel Incubator

Eitan founded Sigma Ventures to address a gap he saw firsthand: Israeli deep-tech companies with world-class solutions had no structured pathway into APAC markets, and Australian and Japanese corporates had no reliable way to access Israeli innovation. He built Sigma to be the bridge.

Prior to founding Sigma Ventures, Eitan served as Strategic Investment Manager at Intel Capital and founded Intel Israel's first startup incubator program, giving him direct insight into how world-class technology ecosystems build commercial bridges across borders.

Operating from Sydney with deep relationships across the Israeli technology ecosystem, Eitan combines hands-on deal facilitation with a proprietary intelligence platform (ITRApac) to deliver advisory services that are grounded in data, informed by real engagements, and focused on commercial outcomes.
