Israeli Companies

Here is an interesting story from Rochester, NY. Many other areas, including Atlanta, Cleveland, Chicago, and others have set their sights on attracting new high tech Israeli startups.

A group of 20 economic development, business and government representatives leaves today for a weeklong trip to Israel aimed at bringing jobs to the Rochester area.

Greater Rochester Enterprise is leading the mission, which includes representatives from Eastman Kodak Co., Bausch and Lomb Inc., University of Rochester Medical Center, Trillium Group and Nixon Peabody. The trip is aimed as a follow-up to visits earlier this year by 30 Israeli companies, some of which have since opened Rochester operations.
