“The South Carolina-Israel Experience: How the Midlands Can Benefit - June 7

Featuring:

Jonathan Zucker, President, The InterTech Group; Chair, South Carolina-Israel Collaboration
Tom Vogt, Associate Vice President Research, USC
Diane Weiner, Director of Business Development, Healarium
Tom Glaser, President, American-Israel Chamber of Commerce-Southeast Region

The South Carolina-Israel Collaboration, formed in 2011, has already succeeded in raising our state’s profile in Israel and generating business and research relationships that are beneficial to both sides. A 26-person South Carolina delegation to Israel last November included a significant group from the Midlands, and another such economic development trip is being planned for 2012.

Join us on June 7th to hear first-hand about the Collaboration, how you can get involved, see how USC is leveraging the relationship with Israel, and learn about an Israeli healthcare innovation company that has targeted our state.
