Innovative Israeli enterprises seeking stronger ties in China

Innovative companies from Israel displayed their passion in forging partnerships with Chinese companies, and entering its emerging market, at the 19th GoforIsrael conference held on Thursday in Foshan, South China's Guangdong province.

"More than 100 companies from Israel took part in the conference this year," said Edouard Cukierman, managing partner of Catalyst Fund, a leading Israeli private equity fund that co-launched the conference with Cukierman& Co Investment House about 20 years ago. "They are looking for strategic partners in China." The companies are in various sectors, including biotechnology, telecommunications, media and technology, financial technology, life science and agricultural technology, according to Cukierman.

As one of Israel's most influential international investment forums, GoforIsrael addresses issues in fundraising and establishes strategic alliances globally among Israeli companies and financial institutions.
