About Us
AICC was founded by renowned Philadelphia business leaders, including the late Albert Soffa of Kulicke & Soffa and Dr. Felix Zandman of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc., both pioneers in the establishment of business entities in Israel that still thrive today. AICC’s network continues to include global companies with U.S. headquarters in our region that maintain operations in Israel, including SAP Americas, Inc., Lockheed Martin, and TEVA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and a rich mix of technology businesses, tech support companies, service professionals, entrepreneurs, investors, government and academic leaders.
Committed to business growth through cooperation between Israel and the Greater Philadelphia, AICC’s mission is to:
- Provide members with relevant intelligence on Israel's economy and markets
- Present opportunities for trade and investment
- Cultivate an intimate network of like-minded business professionals
- Connect companies in Israel and in the U.S. to each other
- Refer trade and investment matters to businesses, governments and academic institutions in the Greater Philadelphia Region and Israel.
AICC’s ability to contribute to economic growth in Greater Philadelphia and Israel stems principally from involved members who utilize their expertise and networks to make countless business and investment connections for Israeli companies. Members also volunteer their time to support AICC’s initiatives that bring U.S. and Israeli companies together. AICC’s calendar of industry committee meetings, special interest roundtables, networking events, educational programs, conferences featuring Israeli company delegations and Israel business missions create a community of professionals that produces tangible results for businesses in our region and Israel.
AICC enjoys close relationships with American and Israeli economic development and government offices that share our mission and support our initiatives. AICC is affiliated with a consortium of Israel chambers throughout the United States that serves as a national network for industry access and best practices.
