3rd German Israel Congress
Sunday, November 10, 2013
9:30 – 21:00
Berlin Congress Center - bcc Alexanderplatz
“Connecting for Tomorrow” is the slogan that speaks for the Congress’ aims. The German-Israeli relationship offers much untapped potential that could be expanded in the future. An intensification of cooperation and synergies could further strengthen and build upon the multiplicity of shared values, mutual strategic interests and economic and scholarly relations between the two countries.
The Congress aimed to make the already excellent bilateral relationship between Germany and Israel, in which it plays a major role, accessible to an even greater public.
This year saw the Congress in Berlin for the first time. Germany’s political and cultural hub, Berlin is both a symbol and catalyst of the German-Israeli relationship. The city’s vibrant cultural and start-up scene, the daily flights to and from Tel Aviv as well as over 15,000 Israelis who have made the German capital their home attest to this. Like Tel Aviv, Berlin is a city with an immense creative potential that can only give inspiration to new visions.
