Lynn boasts an extensive career as an attorney, business executive and political leader in Knesset, the Israeli parliament (see attached bio). Regularly contributing to trade and news publications on a variety of subjects, he has served on a number of corporate boards and governmental agencies in Israel. Lynn's opening keynote presentation entitled, "Israel as a Market" will provide background on export opportunities with his country.
Also attending is Dan Carmely (Car-muh-lee), Vice President of the Federation of Israeli Chambers of Commerce, and representatives from the Consul for Economic Affairs with the Government of Israel Economic Mission to the Midwest in Chicago, IL and the America-Israel Chamber of Commerce-Chicago. They will join with Iowa and Illinois economic development specialists for an introduction to making export to Israel simple for small and medium size businesses.
"Israel is a world leader in agritech, computer science, alternative energy, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, communications and revolutionary high technology innovations," said Allan Ross, Executive Director, Jewish Federation of the Quad Cities. "However, they still rely heavily on imports to sustain growth. This opportunity for small and medium size Quad City businesses to connect with Israeli companies and identify export partnerships could result in job growth for our local economy. That would be a win-win situation for all."
