MWC 2019: China, Copycat, Creator with Yossi Vardi, Israel’s Hi-tech Godfather

本期播客我们非常荣幸在世界移动大会巴塞罗那2019与以色列科技教父和创新创业活动4YFN的主席Yossi Vardi展开了一次深入的对话。Yossi Vardi是以色列最早进入科技领域的创业者和投资人之一，他也是全球首个即时通信公司ICQ的创造者。ICQ是QQ和微信诞生的启发来源。在此次访谈中，我们的主播Oscar Ramos邀请Yossi分享了其对Copycat、创新、知识产权保护、以色列科技生态系统以及中国创业环境的见解。正如他所说，“就Copycat本身而言没有好坏之分，我们应该考虑整个图景和计划”。

He is also the creator of ICQ, the world’s first instant messaging company, which inspired many messaging products including QQ in China.

We are honored to have Yossi to be on China Startup Pulse Podcast today where he shared his thoughts about the copycat, innovation, IP protection, Israeli tech ecosystem, and Chinese startups. As he mentioned, “We have to evaluate the whole picture...not just good or bad to be a copycat".
