Israel was named the 10th most innovative economy in the world in the 2017 & 2018 Bloomberg Innovation Index. In 2016, Louisville was touted as a place of “free-wheeling innovation” and growth (TIME Magazine). To recognize the accomplishments of these two places and encourage collaboration, the J will host a fall Innovation Series, which will highlight regional and Israeli innovators and leading-edge programs and ideas in various categories.
