New England is home to approximately 100 Israeli-affiliated companies and more than 600 regional US companies that do business with Israel.

In technology and the life sciences there are many academic collaborations among their respective institutions. The NEIBC aims to build on these strong ties and increase economic development in Israel and New England by fostering cooperation, investment opportunities and business relationships.

The NEIBC provides a variety of formal and informal venues for networking, for making connections between Israel and New England people and companies - and for seeking advice on doing business in these two regions.
