Next Trade Mission Headed to Israel
The next State of Wisconsin Trade Mission is already in the planning stages.  The Governor will lead a delegation to Israel, November 14-21, 2009.  The trade mission to Israel will provide participants with opportunities to meet with distributors, potential customers, and key business and government officials.  The Governor will also promote investment by Israeli companies in Wisconsin.

“Israel offers great business opportunities for Wisconsin companies,” Governor Doyle said.  “By joining the mission, businesses can gain firsthand knowledge of this market.” 

In 2008, Israel was Wisconsin’s 38th largest export customer with purchases worth $68.2 million.  The mission will focus on three industries that offer great promise for increasing exports to Israel - life sciences, water technology, and agriculture.  All companies with an interest in Israeli markets are invited to join the mission.  Department of Commerce staff will coordinate the mission and set up individual meetings for mission members.

During the mission, Governor Doyle will address the 5th annual International Water Technologies and Environmental Control Exhibition, to be held November 17 - 19 in Tel Aviv.  This is a major international conference that will provide networking and sales opportunities for Wisconsin firms.

Businesses interested in learning more about the Governor’s Mission to Israel can contact the Director of the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Export Development, Ms. Mary Regel, mary.regel@wisconsin.gov, (608) 266-1767.
