Rhode Island-Israel Collaborative (RIIC) and Bar-Ilan University Israel Announce Partnership: Fostering Business Growth through Student-Led Market Insight opportunities for Rhode Island companies who would like to enter the Israeli market.
The Rhode Island-Israel Collaborative (RIIC) and Bar-Ilan University in Israel have partnered to create a program fostering economic ties and innovation between Rhode Island and Israel. Set to commence in the upcoming Fall semester, this collaboration will enable Rhode Island companies to benefit from the expertise of Bar-Ilan University's Graduate School of Business Administration students.
“We are excited to partner with the Rhode Island-Israel Collaborative (RIIC) to offer this unique opportunity for our students. By leveraging the expertise of our Graduate School of Business Administration, we aim to provide Rhode Island companies with invaluable insights into the Israeli market. This collaboration will not only foster economic growth but also create opportunities for further academic and cultural ties." Prof. Eyal Yaniv, Bar Ilan University.
Inspired by Bryant University's International Business (IB) program, where students consulted with one Israeli company each semester on U.S. market entry strategies, the partnership between RIIC and Bar-Ilan University will see MBA students working closely with Rhode Island companies.
These students, mentored by their professors, will offer guidance and support to help one business each semester to enter and navigate the Israeli market, promoting mutual growth and innovation.
The program includes a practicum for Bar-Ilan University MBA students, who will engage with Rhode Island companies and provide strategic recommendations for successful entry into the Israeli market. Participating companies will receive a comprehensive report including strategic advice, valuable contacts, and actionable steps to establish a strong presence and drive growth within Israel.
In addition to strengthening economic ties and providing tangible benefits for Rhode Island companies, this initiative will deliver a unique, firsthand learning experience for students. By applying their knowledge to real-world challenges, students will further develop their skills and expertise, preparing them for future careers in the global business landscape.
The introduction for both organizations was done by International Division of Relations of the Federation of Israeli Chambers of Commerce.
“We are thrilled to offer Rhode Island companies a unique opportunity to explore and enter the Israeli market through a powerful program in partnership with Bar-Ilan University's MBA program. This initiative will help businesses assess the market and develop effective strategies for successful entrance into the Israeli market, while also benefitting from the exceptional talent and expertise of the students at Bar-Ilan University.” Avi Nevel CEO and Founder of the Rhode Island Israel Collaborative.
