Sharing expertise in software development

During the trip, the IT professionals held a number of meetings with businessmen and government officials to exchange experience and discuss the ways for future cooperation. In particular, the delegation visited the Israel Institute of Export, a governmental agency that operates under the Ministry of Trade and Labor to facilitate trade prospects between international and Israeli companies.

They also attended MATIMOP, the government agency that generates and implements industrial R&D programs between Israeli and foreign enterprises. Finally, the delegation discussed partnership opportunities at local IT companies and met representatives of the leading Israeli venture funds.

Today, Israel is ranked second to the United States in the number of hi-tech companies (3,500). The extensive experience of the countries in software product development is worth sharing and adopting. We believe the expertise exchange like that will result in technology growth for both sides.
