Israeli Consul General: Strong partnership helped bring Israeli tech firm 4Cast to Missoula

The deputy consul general of Israel on Tuesday credited her country’s strong alliance with the U.S. and the hard work of a Montana economic delegation for landing an Israeli tech firm, which plans to place its U.S. office in Missoula.

Ravit Baer with the Consulate General of Israel’s office in San Francisco, began a 36-hour swing through Missoula on Tuesday to establish diplomatic ties with local leaders and extend Israeli cultural interests.

"A vast majority of what we do is really centered in the Bay Area, just because the Silicon Valley is so important to the Israeli economy," Baer said in an interview with the Missoula Current. "But we’re doing as much effort as we can to get to all our regions to enhance collaborations within those regions."
