Doing Business
You will get help from many organisations and authorities when you start doing business with Israel!
The Association of America-Israel Chambers of Commerce
‘When you decide to pursue America-Israel business, we are your first call. Although heated Middle Eastern politics makes headlines, America-Israel business is quantitatively the largest part of America-Israel relations. The United States and Israel will do approximately $20 billion in trade in 2005, dwarfing the roughly $2.5 billion of US governmental aid to Israel this year. Since 2000, Israel has been the largest American trading partner in the Middle East, larger than American trade with Saudi Arabia, including US oil imports. Today, there are more Israeli companies listed on American securities exchanges than any country after the US and Canada. America-Israel relations are based on common values; democracy, free markets and the rule of law. Business is the manifestation of the strong values shared by Americans and Israelis.’
The Israel-British Chamber of Commerce
‘The IBCC takes pride in its contribution to both economies in that Britain has become the second largest trading partner with Israel, after the USA. Annual two-way trade has reached in excess of US$ 3 billion. Hundreds of businessmen and leading companies in both Israel and Britain have taken advantage of the unique knowledge, contacts, initiatives and networking opportunities extended by the Chamber to its members in order to expand profitable business between our countries. Their visible and continuing success is our best reference. We cordially invite you to join us and trust that you will take some of you valuable time to look further at our website.’
