Amir Alroy, co-founder of Israeli wellness innovation hub, Welltech1, and Ömer Isvan, president of Servotel Corporation, have been announced as co-chairs of the Global Wellness Summit (GWS) 2020, which will be held in Tel Aviv, Israel from 10-13 November 2020.
Alroy and Isvan will contribute to the agenda for the annual event which focuses on the business and future of wellness. Both bring expertise in what’s unfolding in wellness innovation and investment.
Alroy co-founded Welltech1, which invests in and accelerates wellness start-ups, increasing their viability and connecting them to global partners. He was also founder and CEO of Cloud 9 Wellness Clubs, in Israel.
“My goal is to immerse GWS 2020 attendees in the best and brightest ideas being developed by companies all across the wellness spectrum and have them meet the leaders that are shaking up the industry,” said Alroy.
Isvan, president of Servotel Corporation, leads an advisory company for global investment and development of hotels, resorts and integrated mixed-use destinations.
His experience has involved advising investors in every step of development, from greenfield stage to asset management. Isvan is also a GWS advisory board member.
“It’s a great honour to be selected as co-chair to help build an event that will give delegates a powerful new knowledge base and business leads,” said Isvan, “both through exceptional content that explores the newest frontiers and trends in wellness and the Summit’s unique networking opportunities.”
GWS executive director, Nancy Davis, commented: “It’s hard to imagine two better chairs for our Tel Aviv Summit. Both are experts in the business of wellness and its investment landscape, and both are passionate about – and have long done business in – Israel.”
