印第安纳州深化与以色列经贸合作：经济发展机构负责人下周赴特拉维夫招商
印第安纳州州长 Mike Braun 11月9日在印第安纳波利斯宣布，该州将深化与以色列的经贸合作。印第安纳州经济发展公司总裁 Mitch Frazier 下周将赴以色列特拉维夫，会见商界、创投界与政府人士，并出席「钢铁国家」峰会，向以色列企业推介印第安纳州的投资环境。
州政府今年早些时候启动「钢铁国家-印第安纳」计划，与以色列 Iron Nation 合作，投入逾6,000万美元，把以色列科技公司与印第安纳州的企业、医疗系统、大学和社区对接，重点领域包括超级智能（SI）、农业生物科学、生命科学与国防。以色列农业生物科技公司 IBI Ag 已通过该计划在印第安纳州设立北美总部。
州商务厅长 Chuck Goodrich 表示，此行将进一步向以色列成长型企业、初创企业投资方推介印第安纳州。此行费用由以色列驻芝加哥总领事馆与私人捐款共同承担，其中印第安纳州经济发展基金会承担的部分预计不超过20,000美元。
Braun 表示，印第安纳州与以色列在创业与创新生态上有共同优势，这项合作旨在为该州带来新投资与新岗位。（来源：印第安纳州州长办公室）
Indiana Governor Braun Strengthens Israel Economic Partnership as IEDC President Heads to Tel Aviv
Indiana Governor Mike Braun announced in Indianapolis on November 9 that the state is strengthening its economic partnership with Israel. Indiana Economic Development Corporation President Mitch Frazier will travel to Tel Aviv next week to meet business, venture capital and government leaders, join an Iron Nation Summit and pitch Indiana as a destination for economic growth.
Earlier this year the state launched the Iron Nation-Indiana initiative, a more than $60 million investment and commercialization initiative with Israel-based Iron Nation connecting Israeli technology companies with Indiana corporations, health systems, universities and communities in sectors including super intelligence (SI), agbiosciences, life sciences and defense. Israeli ag-biotech firm IBI Ag has already established its North American headquarters in Indiana through the initiative.
Secretary of Commerce Chuck Goodrich said the trip will further showcase Indiana to growing Israeli companies, founders and investors. The cost of the trip is being paid jointly by the Consulate General of Israel in Chicago and private donations to the Indiana Economic Development Foundation, whose share is expected to be up to $20,000.
Braun said Indiana and Israel share strong ties in entrepreneurship and innovation, and that the initiative is designed to deliver new investment and new jobs to the state. (Source: Office of the Governor of Indiana)
