ISRAEL: THE START-UP NATION

Today Israel is 67 years old! Israel and the Jewish people are a light unto the nations. Today, Israel shines brightly as the Start-up Nation, whose innovation is feeding, healing and and advancing the world. Many factors are contributing to Israel’s continual position as the world leader in technology and innovation. Come be inspired by the stories, the innovations and the inventions from Israel that are changing our lives. Israel’s next great opportunity is to be the world innovation leader in energy, water, and food - to not only make the world a better and safer place, but a place that makes profits and puts people to work.
