Mayor Dianne Watts is in Israel, drumming up partnerships with medical technology firms.
Watts is working toward turning this city into the country's innovation gateway and hopes partnerships with Israel can help get Surrey there.
“Israel is known as the world's global "Start-Up Nation." Canada's `Start-Up City' – Surrey, is looking to tap into Israel's pioneering cutting edge medical, entrepreneurial and scientific innovation,” Watts said in a release.
Partnering with The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs/Pacific Region, Watts is accompanied by a delegation from the health technology business sector and representatives from Simon Fraser University, University of British Columbia and Kwantlen Polytechnic University, all with the aim of strengthening Surrey's new world class medical technology hub, "Innovation Boulevard".
Surrey will partner with Israel Brain Technologies (IBT) – Israel’s most prestigious neuro technology consortium created by Israel's President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Shimon Peres.
Thie partnership will lead to the establishment of close ties between Israel's leading neuro science innovators and their colleagues on Surrey's Innovation Boulevard.
Innovation Boulevard is a network of health institutions, universities, companies and talented people located within one square mile in Surrey, B.C.’s City Centre between Simon Fraser University and Surrey Memorial Hospital Campus.
