Our Mission

​

The Israeli Social Innovation Chicago 2017 was born from Israel’s innovative character, in the fields of water, technology, defense, and cyber security. The purpose of the program is to spread awareness of the remarkable capacity Israel has to develop initiatives that benefit society:

Israeli institutions (government, private industry, and academia) encourage Israeli entrepreneurs to pursue the field of social innovation. Within this framework, one can find a wide array of organizations devoted to supporting emergency medical assistance, mental health, and volunteerism.

​

The event will offer diverse perspectives on the Israeli ‘Social innovation’ ecosystem from an expert on Israeli Innovation and 4 leading non-profits that make a difference in the lives of people all over the world and in Chicago.
