Innovation Diplomacy

November 16, 2022

The delegation’s visit builds upon the memorandum of understanding (MoU) that the two countries signed in Casablanca in May during the “Connect to Innovate” conference. During the three-day meeting this week, they discussed innovation ecosystem building, knowledge-sharing and transfer between the university and industry. They also discussed human capital challenges, business investment, and connecting the start-up communities in each country.

“The business opportunities that exist between Israeli innovation and the business and academic ecosystem in Morocco are vast,” said H.E Abderrahim Bayoudh, Head of Morocco’s Liaison Office in Tel Aviv. “We see the connection as a natural one, that must be developed for the benefit of developing the ties between the countries. Thanks to Start-Up Nation Central for the commitment to promoting these relationships”.
