8200, an IDF Intelligence unit, which until a few years ago was top secret, is now considered one of the leading sources for Israeli innovation, a foundation for a vivid community of technology, entrepreneurship and venture financing. The 8200 Alumni Association has been active for over a decade as a non-profit organization, providing thousands of the Israeli Intelligence 8200 Unit alumni a place to network, consult and collaborate with their peers. In addition, the Association leads projects of maintaining and promoting legacy for posterity as well as promotes projects for the community, such as scholarships to 8200 graduates in local academic institutes and support to Arabic teaching programs in High-Schools in outlying regions. The Entrepreneurship and Innovation Support Program is the Association's first formal platform designated to enrich and leverage entrepreneurial abilities and skills.

The Entrepreneurship and Innovation Support Program (EISP) was established in 2010 with the vision of utilizing the 8200 alumni network to aid entrepreneurs and innovators in their early phases and accelerate the fulfillment of new ventures, visions and dreams in various fields, such as hi-tech, biomedical, energy and environment, social responsibility etc. The program targets both entrepreneurs who are interested in establishing their own venture and intra-organizational entrepreneurs, who have an initiative to lead within their organization.
