The CO-IL Institute Inaugural Gala evening is THIS Thursday, October 15th at The Source Hotel in Denver, Colorado at 5:30 p.m.
Get your tickets here.
Here is why it's worth your evening:
Ezra Gardner, Co-Founder and CIO of Varana Capital, the most active foreign fund in Israeli tech in 2024, will speak on why U.S.-Israel economic partnerships have moved from commercially attractive to strategically necessary. This is the investment and geopolitical case for everything CO-IL does, made by someone who has put real capital behind it.
Professor Micheline Ishay of the University of Denver's Korbel School and Center for Middle East Studies will unpack what the emerging "IMEC" India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor means for Israel's regional standing and the future of bilateral partnerships like ours.
Noam Bedein, Director of Innovation Diplomacy and Strategic Partnerships at Israel's Western Negev Innovation Authority is flying in from Israel for the gala. Noam is here because CO-IL is actively building a bilateral agricultural innovation launchpad between the Western Negev and Logan County, Colorado, and exploring a sister-city relationship between Sterling, Colorado and Ofakim, Israel. The gala is where that work gets its proper introduction to Colorado.
Add in Israeli wine from SOMLYAY and sports and entertainment memorabilia from Final Bid Advisors, plus a full Safta Restaurant Israeli dinner at The Source Hotel, and you have your evening.
And that's not even mentioning the networking with fellow gala attendees from across our industry partners network.
