Ocean Business

What Ocean Business does

Ocean Business is a privately held consulting firm headquartered in Israel that acts as a cross-border intermediary between Israeli technology providers and Latin American buyers in the water, agriculture, cleantech, and sustainability sectors. Its core service portfolio comprises consulting engagements, project development and facilitation, startup and scale-up advisory, soft-landing services for market entry, technology scouting, and event-driven professional VIP tours to Israel that include access to Watec and Agritech exhibitions. The firm is founder-led by Director Tobias Mendelovici, an agronomist trained at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and positions itself as a bilingual (Spanish/English) bridge leveraging a referenced network of over 600 Israeli technology companies.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue: consulting, advisory, and tour packages are quoted per engagement with no publicly disclosed pricing or recurring contracts. Go-to-market combines sales-led consulting targeting innovation-driven Latin American organizations with event-driven demand generation through trade delegations, government visits, and industry exhibitions. Customers to date are predominantly public-sector and institutional — including the governments of Honduras, Argentina (Misiones Province), and Colombia, and the Inter-American Development Bank — supplemented by technology startups and investors seeking Israeli deal flow.

Operationally, the firm maintains a WordPress-based bilingual website, an email newsletter, and presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, X, and RSS. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no headcount figures, no revenue figures, no parent company, and no evidence of subsidiaries or AI/technology platforms; the offering is fundamentally human-driven facilitation rather than a scalable software or data product.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Eco Wave Power: Israeli cleantech company specializing in wave energy technology, often cited as an example of Israeli water/clean energy innovation. Adjacent rather than directly comparable, but represents the type of Israeli technology company that Ocean Business would help enter Latin American markets.

Broad incumbents

• Start-Up Nation Central: Israeli non-profit that connects global business and government leaders with Israeli innovation. Highly comparable as a matchmaking and soft-landing intermediary, though it operates globally rather than focusing on Latin America, and addresses all technology verticals rather than specializing in water/agritech/cleantech.
• Israel Innovation Authority: Israeli government authority that supports R&D and innovation, including international collaborations. Comparable because it facilitates Israeli-international technology partnerships, though its scope is much broader and policy-driven rather than commercially intermediated like Ocean Business.
• Israel Export Institute: Israel's official export promotion agency facilitating Israeli companies' entry into foreign markets, including Latin America. Comparable because both serve as institutional bridges connecting Israeli technology providers with international buyers and governments, though the Export Institute operates at a much larger scale and across all sectors rather than specializing in cleantech/agtech.
• MATIMOP (Israel Industry Center for R&D): Israeli government body managing international R&D collaboration programs, including bilateral programs with Latin American countries. Comparable because it orchestrates Israeli-international technology partnerships, though it works through institutional frameworks rather than direct consulting.

Regional players

• Kohelet Economic Forum: Israeli policy think tank promoting market-based economic policy. Tangentially comparable as an Israeli organization fostering international business linkages, though it operates in policy research rather than commercial intermediation.
• Cukierman & Co. Investment House: Israel-based investment bank with activity in Latin American markets, particularly Argentina. Partially comparable because it bridges Israeli capital with Latin American opportunities, though it focuses on M&A and capital markets rather than technology transfer consulting.

Direct peers

• Israel-Latin America Chamber of Commerce: Bilateral chamber promoting trade and investment between Israel and Latin American countries. Directly comparable as it targets the same Israeli-to-Latin America trade flow that Ocean Business serves, though it operates as a non-profit membership organization rather than a paid consulting firm.
