Innovative Finance for Rebuilding Israel’s Regions

This Financial Innovations Lab was held at the Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem on June 18, 2024, gathering practitioners in finance, government, philanthropies, and the non-profit sectors to design innovative financing strategies for rebuilding of Israel’s regions, particularly the Western Negev. The Lab focused on structured finance (both credit and equity), small business financing, and other priority project areas identified by regional leadership at the Tekuma Authority and throughout the Western Negev Municipality Cluster of communities, in developing actionable steps for integrated regional development. The Lab followed an introduction and planning session among capital market professionals in New York City on February 24, 2024, at the offices of Apollo Global Management.
