The MIBA’s Managing Director and Michigan Ecosystem Leader, Bernard Bourgeois, capped off a busy month by attending the SelectUSA Investment Summit in Washington DC. Hosted by the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Investment Summit is a one-stop shop for companies considering expanding to the United States. More than 40 Israeli companies attended this year’s conference across a variety of industries. Bernard was able to connect with many of these companies and talk about the benefits of selecting Michigan and how the MIBA can support their efforts.
The trip’s highlight was the Israel Delegation Reception where a small group of invitees engaged with 22 delegate companies and heard from dignitaries including Michael Herzog, the Israeli Ambassador to the United States.
