B2 works with State and select County and Municipal governments in America to create Trade and Development offices in Israel to assist both public sector and constituent business leaders in creating and expanding economic cooperation with Israel’s public and private sectors, to enhance and increase mutual understanding, and to make those state-based entities partners in the new Abraham Accords regional boom among America’s allies.
We offer:
A dedicated team of Israel-based experts with experience in in all relevant areas of development and growth, including:

We also have access to the largest databases of pro-Israel Americans. We can advise and assist in promoting your initiatives and the benefits that will accrue to your constituents via this ongoing relationship with Israel.
In addition to business and government expertise, we offer unparalleled and comprehensive expertise in policy, political, and media guidance, including research and analysis, briefings, talking points, written speeches, rapid response, op-eds, scripts, videos, etc. when opportunities arise and newsworthy events demand reaction.
Finally, we are focused on developing commerce, trade, and innovation, but beyond the economic and strategic ties, the affinity between America and Israel has profound and unique moral and spiritual dimensions. We are very comfortable working in that space with faith leaders as both our US and Israel teams appreciate - and share - these deeply rooted convictions.
We look forward to partnering with you in Israel!

A Note From Jeff:
B2 Strategic's motto - Always Play Offense - is the spirit underlying our "Israel SDB" initiative. After many years of fighting BDS at multiple levels internationally pro bono - including as part of the team that innovated and rolled out dozens of state and local anti-BDS laws - the B2 team decided to play offense the best possible way: offer our unmatched expertise and network to help governments and businesses "reverse BDS" by opening official bureaus to increase investment, commerce, trade, innovation, tourism, and partnership with Israel.
It's good business and good policy.
