December 3rd, Museum of Science, Boston
Mintz Levin and the Consulate General of Israel to New England are pleased to invite you to spend an evening with Shai Agassi.
Shai Agassi, founder and chief executive of Better Place, will describe his mission to take on one of the greatest challenges of our time: ending the world’s addiction to oil. Named one of Time magazine’s “Heroes of the Environment 2008,” Agassi will explain how Better Place’s revolutionary model for scalable, electrified personal transportation will liberate cars from oil, reduce carbon emissions, and facilitate an era of sustainable mobility. Through partnerships with government leaders, auto manufacturers, energy companies, and other key parties, Better Place is building the world’s first zero-emission transportation infrastructure. Israel, Denmark, and Australia are the first countries to embrace the Better Place model, with many others soon to follow.
Please join us at the Museum of Science in Boston to learn more about Mr. Agassi’s bold initiative on the evening of December 3rd. His presentation will be followed by a reception with light refreshments and exhibit-viewing in the Blue Wing.
Co-sponsored by Combined Jewish Philanthropies, Jewish Community Relations Council, the Consulate General of France in Boston, WorldBoston, Boston Israel Cleantech Alliance and the New England-Israel Business Council.

Points of View The New England – Israel connection

An article called “The New England – Israel connection” was published in ‘Israel21C a Focus Beyond’
Written by Perry B. Newman.
“It’s no longer news that Israel is a hotbed of technology research and development. Much of the world knows that cutting-edge technologies ranging from Intel’s Centrino chip to Given Imaging’s ‘camera-in-a-pill’ have been developed in Israel, and that Microsoft, Motorola, Google, Siemens and other iconic, technology-driven brands have chosen to establish research, investment or development centers in Israel.
Moreover, with two Technion researchers having been awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, there is little doubt that Israel occupies its rightful place on the global science and technology stage.
It takes more than a reputation for world-class technology to bring ideas from concept to reality, however. There are many challenges that investors outside of Israel face as they seek to explore and assess new technologies from Israel’s relentless entrepreneurs, and there are innumerable Israeli inventors, start-ups and even mature companies struggling to secure investment, marketing, development and even mentoring support with larger partners in North America and Europe.”
