On the 29th of June 2017 we had the privilege to organize an amazing event at the European parliament, hosted by MEP Arne Gericke on the subject of innovation and technology in Jerusalem. The recent history of Jerusalem’s economic development has been discussed, including its focus on sectors of innovation and development as well as rapid ascension amongst the world’s leading high-tech hubs. Potential for future cooperation and experience exchange between Jerusalem and the EU has also been extensively touched upon.
