Israel in Michigan: Networking Hour at The Elevator
Written by Bernard Bourgeois – Managing Director, Business Development
This month, MIBA welcomed members of Michigan’s Israeli and Israeli-founded business community for Israel in Michigan: Networking Hour—a casual, high-energy gathering designed to strengthen local connections and spark new ones.
The event brought together entrepreneurs, professionals, and founders for an informal evening of conversation, shared experiences, and peer exchange. Attendees connected over light bites and beverages while trading insights on building companies, navigating the Michigan ecosystem, and staying connected to Israel’s innovation network—right here in Detroit.
Beyond networking, the evening also served as an open door to learn more about MIBA’s work and The Elevator as a home base for globally minded companies growing in Michigan. The relaxed format encouraged authentic conversations and reinforced the value of community as a foundation for collaboration and growth.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening a success. We look forward to continuing to build spaces where Israeli innovation and Michigan opportunity meet.
If you are an Israeli in Michigan or work for an Israeli-founded company here, let us know so we can add you to the invite list for the next one.
