Israeli Innovation: What is the Secret? @ Congregation Neveh Shalom
Aug 5 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm

Join StandWithUs Northwest’s Shaliach Eitan Teiger for a talk about the secrets of Israel’s success when it comes to high tech and innovation. Eitan will present Israel’s special story from an entrepreneurial perspective: from a young country with no natural resources to the start-up state we have all heard of. We will understand the motives for entrepreneurial culture, how the diversity of society has contributed to it and how Israel is making efforts to include different groups in this space by presenting several representative examples. Free & Open to all. Co-hosted by Neveh Shalom’s Israel 360, Jewish Federation of Greater Portland, and StandWithUs Northwest.
