India and Israel are natural partners,both ancient peoples with vibrant democracies,proud of their history and heritage and eager to grasp the future.Our economies,though different in size,scale and scope,are a perfect match. They do not compete,but rather complete one another.Israel’s technological solutions and fruitful Start-Up scene can find partners in India to help take Israeli innovation to the next level. India shares many of the challenges Israel has faced over the years. As we found solutions to our water shortages,improved our crops through R&D,developedmedical advancements, invented new systems in communications, defense and IoT, Israel essentially became a “Development Laboratory” for the world. India, one of the most rapidly developing countries in our modern era, has adopted many Israeli solutions to shared challenges, adapting it to India’s specifications. Now looking to the future together, India and Israel can step forward and build on the strengths of each country respectively, and the strength of joint collaboration. Quoting President Rivlin during his visit to India in November 2016,“Israel is committed to Make in India,MakeWith India… together we canmake magic”. As the Israeli and Indian business sectors converge,the ties between India and Israel surpass governmental ties and transform into a relationship between people. Only thus, our Growing Partnership with India can remain sustainable and continue to benefit our both our peoples. I wish you the best of luck in your present and future endeavors, and welcome once again to the India-Israel Growing Partnership. Daniel Carmon Ambassador of Israel to India Daniel Carmon
