The May SelectUSA conference, put on by the US Department of Commerce, was a showcase for how to best do business in the United States. A delegation of 40 Israeli companies took advantage of workshops and meetings to grow their business. The MIDC worked in the Maryland booth with representatives from every county, all showcasing the best of Maryland. Governor Moore spoke to the visitors, solidifying the Maryland Moves Business narrative.
The MIDC hosted 3 events for 17 Israeli Life Science companies throughout the State of Maryland. The Israeli life science companies became lifelong friends of the MIDC, as we hosted a joint event with the Embassy of Israel, a major hospital with a research incubator and a higher education Biopark. They pitched their companies twice that day with feedback given at a well-received Executive Roundtable program. Here, the companies met economic development professionals, VC funders and industry influencers to help in their growth.
The following day, we met them all at an Embassy arranged day at NIH. Our connections at NIH listened to the pitches of all of the companies and advised them on grant funding and research opportunities with the agency and the Department of Defense Health Division. You will hear more about some of these companies as MIDC helps them grow.
