Business exchange produces “speed dates”
for Israeli and North American companies
Twenty emerging Israeli and Southeast
U.S. companies joined more than 40 leading
North American companies in the new
media industry for the first-ever U.S.-Israel
New Media Business Exchange. Held July
25 – 26 at the Atlanta corporate campus of
Turner Broadcasting, the event offered an
unparalleled opportunity for the emerging
companies to present themselves at prearranged
and pre-qualified meetings with
companies from the U.S., Canada, and
Mexico to foster joint venture research and
development, investment, content, and
marketing alliances.
The event was hosted by Turner
Broadcasting System, Inn., and organized
by the American-Israel Chamber of
Commerce, Southeast Region (AICC), in
partnership with Microsoft.
Uri Admon, co-founder and CEO of Tel
Aviv-based Dyuna, said, “In less than two
days, we met 17 companies, every one
worth a trip alone. A key point was that we
met the right people, who received information
on Dyuna in advance and came prepared
for our meetings. We left Atlanta
with a number of strong open leads.”
Participating North American companies
included Turner Broadcasting,
Microsoft, Time Warner, AOL, Warner
Brothers, HBO, Intel Capital, Time, Inc.,
Time Warner Investments, Arris, UPS
Strategic Enterprise Fund, Veritas Venture
Partners, IDG Ventures, Castille Ventures,
The Weather Channel, Intent Media Works,
Cox Enterprises, Ericcson, Pulvermedia,
Cablemas, and Comcast Interactive
Capital.
The Israeli and Southeast emerging
companies included 5min, Arootz,
Asankya, blogTV, Digitalsmiths, Dyuna,
Exent, Gumiyo, Hingi, i-Mature,
MuseStorm, Oversi, Pando, Playcast,
PLYmedia, Radvision, Scopus Video
Networks, SimplyGen, SpeedBit, and
VBox.
In 2006, 27 Israeli and eight Southeast
emerging companies participated in the
2nd annual U.S.-Israel Broadband
Business Exchange in Atlanta, organized
by the AICC in partnership with Cox
Communications and CableLabs. In less
than 24 hours, the innovative matchmaker
event produced more than 600 one-on-one
meetings with major U.S. companies, producing
business relationships, investments,
joint ventures, and the decision of several
Israeli firms to establish their U.S. headquarters
in Atlanta. AICC invented the
Business Exchange economic development
model in 1994 and has since organized 13
matchmaker events in Atlanta, Memphis,
Nashville, and Huntsville in telecommunications,
medical technologies, software,
automotive, and aerospace.
“Atlanta is a major center for telecommunications
and new media entertainment
such as gaming, with significant leadership
in cable broadband,” said Christopher
Klaus, CEO & founder of Kaneva and vice
chairman of the Metro Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce’s technology marketing council.
“With access to world-class research
universities, high-tech companies, and a
talented workforce, Atlanta is continuing to
attract emerging businesses.”
