Economic Bridges
The Israel-Africa Institute works to promote Israeli agriculture, industry, and economy through close economic partnerships with the growing economies and rapidly developing markets on the African continent, while fulfilling an ambitious vision for sustainable development in African countries.
The Institute fosters research and academic partnerships focused on gaining a profound understanding of Africa's evolving economies and markets, considering the intricate nature that defines them.
The Institute collaborates with stakeholders across the Israeli economy, including financial institutions, to raise awareness about the significant economic opportunities Africa offers for Israeli exports.
The Institute collaborates with the Israeli Ministries of Finance and Economy to advocate for policies fostering economic cooperation between Israel and African nations. Within this framework, it strives to create incentives for Israeli companies, entrepreneurs, and investors in Africa, mitigating risk through the efforts of the Israel Foreign Trade Risks Insurance Corporation (Ashra) and international export credit agencies (ECAs).
The Institute conducts research and devises impact economy models rooted in the Blended Finance approach. These models provide sustainable economic solutions to urgent social and environmental challenges in Africa by fostering collaborative economic participation among governments, third-sector organizations, and industry stakeholders.
