Dear Clients, Colleagues and Friends,
An exploration into the potential and the opportunity of Israeli businesses in Africa including scaling innovative solutions to Africa’s most pressing challenges.
The Africa: Continent of Tomorrow Series seeks to advance the dialogue between public and private initiatives in Israel and opportunities in countries in Africa with the participation of government agencies, NGO's, academics, start ups and specialists in development. The Series will be a meeting point between professionals doing business in Africa and an informal platform to share lessons, foster collaboration and develop new initiatives, exploring opportunities, potential and challenges of commercializing innovative Israeli technologies across Africa in fields like agriculture, healthcare, and energy.
Background
Cooperation between Israel and states in Africa has a rich history dating back before the independence of many African states. 2016 was a particularly active year in official visits, including the Prime Minister Netanyahu's trip to East Africa, delegations to Israel, and the September 22, 2016, meeting of Prime Minister Netanyahu with heads of state and other officials from 15 African counties at the UN to discuss Israeli–African technology.
“I believe that Israel can be an amazing partner for your countries" stated Netanyahu to African leaders. "Technology changes everything. And technology is related to so many areas: to healthcare, agriculture, education, and so much more. We want to share our knowledge and technology with the world.” he continued, marking a new era in Israel-Africa relations.
Together Israeli and African partners can impact the lives of millions.
