The President’s Residence:
Israeli startups are a major growth engine for our economy, and Israeli innovation continues to change the world for the better. For Israel to remain a technological superpower, especially in the world of AI, we must invest in, nurture, and preserve the industry here at home.

This evening, I hosted a group of CEOs from groundbreaking Israeli startups at the President’s Residence, on behalf of Israeli Mapped in NY and led by Guy Franklin. This morning, they opened trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange – a symbolic moment that illustrates the power of Israeli innovation and its contribution to the economic growth of the State of Israel.

I was excited to meet the entrepreneurs who are leading innovative and impactful work up close, and to discuss with them the challenges and opportunities in preserving Israel’s status as a leading technological power.
