Mayor of London Visits Israel To Talk Tech

November 8 2015 | The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, will head to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories this week in a bid to strengthen their ties with the British capital. On a three day trade mission to Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Ramallah, Mr Johnson will tell business leaders, key investors, and senior politicians that London’s incredible depth of skills, vibrant communities and worldwide links should make it their first choice of economic partner. In Tel Aviv, the Mayor will be accompanied by representatives from 15 London tech firms, all of whom are looking to boost their bottom line by partnering with Israeli tech experts. The Mayor will attend events at Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and Google Campus where he will be looking to encourage even more of Israel’s tech businesses to list or grow globally through the city. He will also meet with Mayor Ron Huldai, who is serving his fourth consecutive five-year term as Mayor of Tel Aviv and aims to position the city as a global center of innovation and creativity.
