Across the United States and Israel, a new generation of warfighters-turned-builders is redefining defense technology. This bilateral exchange brings them together, driving allied defense innovation.

This mission will strengthen the operational and investment bridge between two of the world’s most combat-tested and innovation-driven ecosystems. It brings together American and Israeli operator-founders; warfighter entrepreneurs who are building and scaling defense companies that translate battlefield experience into deployable capabilities.

It is a bilateral engagement focused on connecting:
- U.S. operator-founders and investors who translate battlefield experience into deployable technology and scalable ventures and
- Israeli operator-founders and technologists who have built field-proven systems from real operational need

Together, we will exchange hard-won lessons, identify technologies ready for joint pilots, and establish enduring channels for collaboration between the two ecosystems.
