European commercial space companies to Israel to see first-hand
next generation technologies being developed by innovative Israeli
companies to develop new business partnerships. Companies

and Technology Foundation says, "our program, which drew together
innovative U.S. and Israeli commercial space companies offers an
opportunity to showcase the technology and services that each had
to offer but also aims to move beyond conversations by working to
create working consortia of U.S. and Israeli scientists to jointly
provide the commercial space solutions of tomorrow."
