The first Economic Forum was hosted in February 2019 by Avi Zimmerman, Sheikh Ashraf Jabbari and IBR founding partner, the US Israel Education Association (USIEA). On this internationally prominent and shared stage, Avi and Ashraf showcased the Chamber’s growth to 500 members, the impactful RDFI plan from the Milken Center, and, perhaps most importantly, stories from the region’s base of integrated businesses that offer a hope-giving path to shared prosperity for Israelis and Palestinians alike.
