2023 “Have You Ever Thought of Going or Returning to Israel?”

Next year will see a return to trade delegations to Israel from WA. We already have a number of
delegations planned. The first is a Start-Up Innovation Delegation under the banner of “New
Economies for WA” inviting the start-up ecosystem in WA (start-ups, investors, IP professionals,
incubator and shared space operators and innovation professionals et al).

The second is a Health and Medical Innovation Delegation to further advance the collaboration
initiated from the 2019 Delegation led by Deputy Premier Roger Cook. Leaders of the WA Health
& Medical Innovation ecosystem are invited to express their interest in attending or
recommending one of their colleagues to experience what they have seen or wish to bring a wave
of fresh innovative thinking and network into their organisation.

Complementing these group delegations we have also booked in several bespoke and private
delegations exploring new opportunities in sectors such as ag-tech, hi-data and nanotechnology,
green-tech and energy.

I invite you to join us with AICC(WA) Delegation Director, Mark Majzner, to see first-hand all that
Israel has to offer. Please contact Mark to learn more and register your interest in these
upcoming delegations. If you are thinking about visiting Israel and would like to form a delegation
