Little States, Big Innovation: Israel x Rhode Island

A new monthly series in partnership with RIHub, the Rhode Island-Israel Collaborative (RIIC) and District Hall/Venture Café Providence

Providence, RI, September 15, 2020 — District Hall Providence (August 28, 2020) is excited to announce a new monthly series in partnership with the Rhode Island-Israel Collaborative (RIIC) and RIHub.

Each month we will be bringing the best Israel has to offer to Rhode Island’s innovation community by introducing our community to some of Israel’s most exciting startup entrepreneurs. These entrepreneurs may be looking to expand into the North American market and Rhode Island offers great opportunities as a soft landing through the connections and collaborations in business, academia and research available here. Don’t miss the opportunity to join our interactive sessions and connect with the ‘Startup Nation’s Best and Brightest’.

Our mission and purpose at District Hall/Venture Café Providence is to provide the space(s), both in-person or virtual, and programming to connect anyone with an idea or a business to the resources they need to grow. Our beautiful building at 225 Dyer St. is the gateway to Rhode Island’s Innovation and Design District, and we are very excited to partner with RIIC and RIHub to share all that RI’s Innovation ecosystem has to offer startup founders interested in a soft landing in America.
– Tuni Schartner, Executive Director of District Hall/Venture Café Providence

The Rhode Island-Israel Collaborative, (RIIC), is pleased to partner with District Hall Providence and RIHub in the introduction of Israeli cutting-edge companies to the Rhode Island business ecosystem. As we see Rhode Island as a great launching point for Israeli companies, and their plan to expand into the U.S. market, we encourage Israeli organizations and companies to contact us and we will be sure to assist them in their soft landing.
– Avi Nevel, Founder, Director, President and CEO of RIIC

RIHub helps Israeli startups to enter the US market by providing a number of incentives like incubation space and mentorship. We are close to New York and Boston and offer the perfect ‘landing place” with an extraordinary quality of life, talent pool and network for entrepreneurs.”
– Annette Tonti, Managing Director of RIHub
