Global NY is recruiting up to 10 NYS companies to participate in a December trade mission to Israel. Join us to gain access to this key global market.

Why Israel?

Israel, a major international hub of innovation and technology is a natural market for US goods and is New York’s 5th largest export market. Trade between the US and Israel has increased eight-fold since the signing of the Free Trade Agreement in 1985 and has led to the elimination of virtually all trade tariffs. GDP growth in 2016 was 4%; unemployment, 4.3%.

Major Industries and Opportunities:

• Aerospace/Defense/Homeland Security
• Communications, Telecom equipment
• Medical Devices
• Fiber Optics
• Computer Hardware & Software

Details:

The trade mission fee is $750. Each participant will receive a customized schedule of B2B meetings with prospective customers and/or business partners and will benefit from group networking events, dinners, all group ground transportation, including airport transfers in Israel and some select sightseeing activities (time permitting).

The current schedule is for meetings and activities in Tel Aviv, Haifa and Jerusalem, with optional weekend sightseeing at the conclusion of the formal mission.
