From expanding bilateral partnerships to launching sector-specific programs in bioscience and space tech, our mission is clear: build bridges between Colorado and Israel for sustained growth and innovation.

We encourage you to join us in becoming a vital advocate of this journey and partnership by becoming a member or reaching out to us today to understand how to get involved. Here’s to a fruitful 2025!

Best regards,
