A networking event held in Tel Aviv brought together representatives from Nebraska’s economic development sector and Israeli technology firms, focusing on potential collaborations in agriculture, water innovation, and financial technology. Organized by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM), the gathering featured Alec Gorynski, Senior Vice President of Economic Development at the Greater Omaha Chamber, who was in Israel as part of a U.S. Midwest delegation exploring innovation partnerships.
The informal session included around a dozen tech companies such as Phytech, Treetoscope, Sequence, Sedric, Insait, and Vintage, all operating in sectors aligned with Nebraska’s economic strengths. The meeting built upon discussions initiated during Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen’s recent trade visit to Israel, which included a prior tech-focused roundtable.
While Governor Pillen highlighted the strong bilateral trade ties and expressed appreciation for the mutual cooperation between the two regions, the current event emphasized practical business connections rather than political commentary. The emphasis remained on shared technological interests and the potential for cross-border innovation in key industries.
