On June 6,the RIIC will celebrate it's second birthday. In the last two years, we worked hard to bring the mission statement of the organization to fruition, with the great support of our board members, partners in academia, government and research here in RI and in Israel. We are creating a positive impact on RI and Israel in business, academia and research and with no doubt, establishing the new RIhub in between URI, Brown University, IBM Alphazone Israel and IBM USA, is testimony.
