Dear Colorado-Israel Chamber Community,


Nearly one year ago, we met and discussed the need for a new organization dedicated to advancing the Colorado-Israel economic relationship. Today, our dream of building a bridge between Colorado’s thriving industries and Israel’s world-renowned innovation ecosystem has finally come to fruition. We’re excited to consider you amongst our interested colleagues and partners and want to be able to share with you news, updates, and opportunities that drive mutual growth. Each month, we’ll share the latest in cross-border partnerships, emerging technologies, and insights into how the U.S.-Israel connection can strengthen both Colorado and Israel businesses and communities.


As we build this diverse community, we invite businesses, organizations, and individuals to join us in this endeavor by becoming members of the Colorado-Israel Chamber of Commerce, which you can do via the yellow button below.


Thank you for being part of this journey—let’s make an impact together!
