Birthright Israel To Open Tel Aviv Innovation Center

April 19, 2016|  Taglit-Birthright Israel is set to open the “State of Mind” center for entrepreneurship and innovation in Tel Aviv with the cooperation of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. The center, which will open in June 2016, will highlight Israeli achievements in entrepreneurship, innovation, and technology in a variety of sectors including agriculture, medicine, defense, cyber security, science, transportation, and aerospace. Each future Birthright Israel group will meet with various Israeli entrepreneurs, who will share their personal stories with the participants. The center will be multilingual, with content presented in French, English, Spanish, Russian, and Chinese. Some 28,000 tourists will arrive in Israel this summer as part of Birthright Israel, the program that offers a free ten-day educational trip for the participants, young Jews from across the world. Founded in 1999, Birthright Israel, now in its 16th year, is actively working to influence the attitudes of young Diaspora Jews towards the State of Israel by helping foster a personal connection by building relationships with the country and its people.
