  Israel is one of the most innovative countries in the world for technologies and know-how related to Alternative & Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency, Water, and Environment.

Of the existing 745 companies, 75% were founded during the last decade with approximately 40% established in the last five years, and 50-60 new companies are added annually. The Israelis have focused on unique opportunities of major diseases for which existing therapies are largely ineffective including treatments for cardiovascular and peripheral vascular disease, oncology, neurodegenerative disease, and other age-related diseases such as ophthalmic and orthopedic. This committee assists qualified Israeli companies in making introductions and contacts to potential strategic partners in the Southeast and hosts them for presentations to key decision makers. An interactive videoconference on Clinical Trials for Israeli cardiology companies is planned for February.
