New York City: Israel's Business Partner
New York City is the US capital for international business. Whether you’re a major multinational or a startup, there’s nowhere else in North America that has the space, talent, and imagination to help your business grow on a global scale.
The ties between New York City and Israel start with our people. Over 20,000 Israelis call NYC home. Additionally, NYC has the largest Jewish population of any metropolitan area in the world outside of Israel. And with New York City's unique ties to Israel—including the 30 Israeli-founded tech unicorns based here—there is no better place in North America to launch or expand your business.
