July Edition 2024

Welcome to the Latest Edition of IsraelDesks Magazine There is no doubt these are among the most challenging times in the history of the State of Israel. There are few people or businesses untouched by the Swords of Iron War, all united in the fervent hope for peace and better days ahead. In this edition of IsraelDesks magazine, we invite you to explore a significant aspect of Israel’s economic landscape: its vital relationship with Canada. Tracing back to the legacy of Israeli-Canadian visionary David Azrieli and before, we delve into the synergies between these two nations. Our comprehensive exploration includes insights from legal experts at some of the most prominent firms in Canada - Aird & Berlis, Bennett Jones, DLA Piper, and Gowling WLG. Additionally, we feature perspectives from the global investment platform OurCrowd and the Israel-Canada Strategic Network (ICaN). Their expert analysis shines a light on opportunities for future collaboration and investment opportunities between Israel and Canada. In our other main feature, it was a privilege to speak with thought leaders at Dechert, Fox Rothschild, and Greenberg Traurig, as well as Erdinast, Ben Nathan, Toledano, Goldfarb Gross Seligman, and Shibolet. Together, they provide invaluable guidance for entrepreneurs navigating the complexities of today’s financial landscape. We also go deeper into current trends with OurCrowd and engage with the Israeli HighTech Association, both of which discuss how to secure early-stage financing in these choppy waters. As always, follow us and if you wish to know more and contribute to our bi-monthly IsraelDesks magazine, reach out. We would love to hear from you. Lee Saunders Editor IsraelDesks
