******************

“[MIBB's] dedication, professionalism and level of care ... was amazing and second to none…giving Israeli participants the opportunity to meet giants like Ford, Magna Steyr, Takata, Aisin Seiki, Visteon, Yazaki and others…” Uri Pachter, Business Development Manager, Automotive & Subcontracting, The Israel Export and International Cooperation Institute.

******************
"[Israel] created an incubator system more intense than everything in the U.S. put together.  We saw more medical-device companies in one week than in the previous year and a half in the U.S. To say they're world-class is to understate them."  Ron Kitchens,  President & CEO, Southwest Michigan First

******************

There is no doubt that [MIBB] opened the doors for Senso-Optics and I would not be able to reach these contacts without their help.” Reuven Katz, Co-Owner, Senso-Optics, Israel
