Jewish Agency Chairman Natan Sharansky attended the Israel Business Conference in Tel Aviv Sunday and presented the Agency's "Business to Business" project (B2B). A delegation of Jewish businessmen from overseas will tour the Galilee on Tuesday as part of this project.

B2B is designed to strengthen ties between the business community in the Jewish world and the business sector in Israel. Guests from abroad will meet with entrepreneurs from the north and will be exposed to the activity of Israeli companies leading the world.

B2B is part of the Jewish Agency's Partnership 2000 project, which connects Jewish communities throughout the world with local authorities by creating dialogue between the Israeli and Jewish communities on the basis of common interests of business, tourism, medicine, education and health.

In the following video Sharansky and Shepard Englander, chief executive officer of the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati, speak with Israel National News about the business oriented connections between Israel and the Diaspora.
