Matchmaking: Curated B2B and B2G Connections
At the heart of the MIBA is curated B2B and B2G matchmaking that connects Israeli and Michigan companies based on compatibility and shared synergies through trade delegations.
Trade Delegations to Michigan
Since 2018, the MIBA has hosted hundreds Israeli companies in Michigan. Beyond planning deliberate B2B and B2G meetings, the MIBA prioritizes immersing delegates in the culture, history and geopolitics of Israel, enhancing understanding of the innovation ecosystem.
“I’ve been working with MIBA over the past two years. During this time I’ve found the MIBA team to be extremely responsive to my requests for assistance, and were resourceful and helpful. Scott and his team have shown a good understanding of our needs, and in the short time we’ve worked together have assisted us, directly and through their excellent network of connections, in finding a great supplier of complex systems and a potential consultant for one of our business units.”
