At the invitation of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, California Chamber of Commerce Vice President of International Affairs Susanne T. Stirling joined a small group of state and metro chambers from around the U.S. on a five-day business trip through Israel.
Stirling found her trip to be an excellent opportunity to learn about the high-tech industry and start-ups in Israel, and gain a deeper understanding of the many similarities between Israel and California, together with areas where we can learn from each other.
California Chamber of Commerce Vice President of International Affairs, Susanne Stirling, with Mayor of Jerusalem, Nir Barkat.
The trip itinerary enabled participants to look at some specific sectors where there are synergies with business communities also represented in California, and spend some time seeing cultural, religious, and historic sites.
Trip attendees met with top government officials and business leaders to better understand Israel’s business, geopolitical, and historical landscape. Attendees also met with venture capitalists and scientists; visited American research and development centers; toured Tel Aviv’s unique start-up scene; and saw many of Israel’s historic and religious sites. Stirling, along with other chamber leaders, also had the opportunity to meet with Israeli chambers and representatives of companies that are looking to do business in the United States.
