Welcome
The American-Israel Chamber of Commerce of Minnesota assists in the formation of Joint Ventures,
License Agreements, Sourcing & Supply Agreements (Both Exports and Imports), and Collaborative R & D Agreements between Companies and Organizations based in Israel and Minnesota.

In the book, Start-Up Nation, we learned that..."Israel represents the highest concentration of innovation and entrepreneurship in the world today: the most start-ups per capita; the highest percentage of GDP invested in civilian R&D; more companies on NASDAQ than all of Europe, Korea, Japan, India, and China combined; and the biggest destination for global venture capital per capita. Israel raises 2.5 times as much global venture capital as the U.S., 30 times more than Europe, 80 times more than India, and 350 times more than China — and these numbers are from 2008, when the world was in the midst of an economic meltdown." Dan Senor, co-author, Start-Up Nation.

Minnesota State Trade and Export Promotion (STEP) Grant
The Minnesota Trade Office (MTO), an agency within the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, is soliciting applications for funding for eligible small and medium-sized businesses to participate in export development activities that will assist the company to begin exporting or increase their exports from Minnesota. This grant may help Minnesota companies to attend trade conferences in Israel such as CyberSecurity2019, BioMed 2019, and WATEC 2019. Learn more HERE
