The World Cup of Agriculture and Green Innovation is Coming to Israel, September 5 -6 / 2023 . Diplomats please contact to me by mail , phone, Silvia G Golan.
After the era of the Covid-19 Pandemic, people are positively itching to get together as a community again and gather with like-minded individuals on projects that inspire their hearts and build towards a better future together. The Agromashov 2023 Exhibition offers precisely that and is a hub for technological innovation and startup companies.
At this event, you can expect the best of the best, with leading cultural representatives and delegates from several countries from around the world to bolster cooperation with Israeli companies and farmers.
The attendees are members from Albania to Uzbekistan, and many others. In addition, delegations and representatives of companies from Dubai, India, Uganda, and more will also attend to foster a collaborative ‘worldwide’ approach. Such a gathering of different nations has earned the nickname, The World Cup of Agriculture and Green Innovation.
Major companies have also confirmed their arrival – the Sri Lankan equipment company “Inomi Agro Technica” and the Georgian packaging company “Allpacka” which will exhibit over the two days of the leading international agricultural exhibition in Israel – Agromashov 2023.
The event will also be attended by Cabinet Ministers, Knesset Members, heads of agricultural organizations, owners of marketing chains, and farmers.
Israeli agriculture is considered a leader in the field by many individuals and organizations across the globe. Dozens of representatives from around the world have confirmed their attendance at “Agromashov,” the central agricultural exhibition in Israel, which will be held at the Expo complex in Tel Aviv.
The Agromashov 2023 Agricultural Exhibition is scheduled for September 5th-6th, 2023. Every stall and vendor at the exhibition is tied to agriculture and relates directly to the bottom-line industry members deal with on a day-to-day basis. This exhibition has been around for 32 years and is one of the oldest and most prominent global agricultural events.
This year the exhibition will focus on the connections between the people and areas of advancement from within agriculture to increase profitability and viability through utilizing technological innovation and agricultural startup companies.
The CEO of Agromashov, Haim Alousche, predicts that “Millions of dollars worth of deals will be closed, and Israeli agriculture will be better for it. Every year deals worth hundreds of millions of dollars are being closed, and this year, in view of the increased interest from abroad, I believe that Israeli agriculture will be even more profitable.”
The exhibition is aimed at farmers, large companies, entrepreneurs, and startup companies, for whom we have established a special complex to present developments and ventures in agriculture and the environment.
As part of the Agromashov Exhibition, there will be ‘round table discussion’ activities in the various fields of agriculture as a continuation of the professional discussions around the tables in various fields from the Israel Agriculture Conference. Invaluable topics are scheduled to be represented at the event; an extraordinary chance to experience Israeli agriculture at its best and a long list of innovations.
As part of the exhibition, there will be professional sessions on the agricultural issues on the agenda, emphasizing innovation and hi-tech in agriculture and how farmers can use these to enhance their bottom line.
Furthermore, a unique startup complex will be established at the exhibition where innovations and developments in the fields of startups for agriculture and the environment will be presented as part of the understanding that the agriculture of the future is based on hi-tech, startup companies, developments, and innovation.
The 10 vendors you don’t want to miss
At the epicenter of the exhibition, there will be a TOP 10 competition to select the ten most groundbreaking innovations and developments of the past year. These ten groundbreaking innovations and developments that are chosen for the exhibition in the Top 10 will receive extensive exposure and great appreciation. To obtain such recognition from such a long-standing and steadfast event is an opportunity many businesses would desire.
For example, the ten innovations that won in 2022 have since made significant breakthroughs this year and include:
Israel, a leader in agricultural change
The world of agriculture is undergoing significant changes and is evolving into something quite unique. The industry no longer just deals with land and cultivation; agriculture has become a hi-tech industry that reaches far beyond farmers and traders and involves startup companies and advanced innovative agriculture. Even with climate change concerns within Israeli agriculture, Israel is still looked to as a leader in this realm due to its connection to surrounding countries and varying climates throughout the country, offering unique agricultural opportunities in one country.
Chaim Alousche, the CEO of the Mashov Group, stated: “The Russian invasion of Ukraine and even prior to that, the climate crisis and the Coronavirus pandemic, have drawn the attention of politicians and heads of state all over the world to the importance of independence in critical areas such as energy, food, natural resources, etc. Israeli agriculture has always been at the forefront, and now it is undergoing a process of renewal and rejuvenation in order to continue catapulting the State of Israel to independence in the field of food production. Moreover, we believe that Israeli agriculture has a cardinal contribution to the entire world. This is the 32nd year that the leading and professional central exhibition in Israel will enable the exposure of innovation, connections between people and businesses, and the promotion of Israeli and global agriculture.”
You can expect a variety of advanced and innovative technologies for farmers and the world of agriculture, new crops, and groundbreaking developments. There will also be professional conferences with hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of farmers and entrepreneurs in the field of agriculture. The future of agriculture is coming to life at the 32nd Agromashov exhibition- don’t miss it!

Last week I was invited to an Cultural and interesting tour of the HIT Holon Institute of Technology.
This HIT Holon Institute of Technology summer semester academic program for students from Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan that complete their studies in BS.c. in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, is an intensive program that combines interdisciplinary knowledge transfer and practice-oriented industry-academic project work. The program included subjects as Sustainability , Water Technology, Agriculture technology, Algorithms development, big data analysis , culture heritage technologies and other important subjects with innovative approaches combined with cultural and historical tour.
The first seminar of the program included a very interesting tour in Baha’i Gardens in Haifa . The students were amazed by the unbelievable beauty of the gardens, We were honored to be hosted in person by Bahai International Community representative in Jerusalem, Mr. David Freeman and his wife Tracy, who is also president of the Diplomatic woman club in Israel. The interesting conversation with them was focused on equality between women and men in modern society.
Equality of the sexes is, for Baha'is, a spiritual and moral standard essential for the unification of the planet and the unfoldment of world order. Without the qualities, talents, and skills of both women and men, full economic and social development of the planet becomes impossible. Trance explained “For The world of humanity is possessed of two wings — the male and the female. So long as these two wings are not equivalent in strength the bird will not fly. Until womankind reaches the same degree as man, until she enjoys the same arena of activity, extraordinary attainment for humanity will not be realized; humanity cannot wing its way to heights of real attainment.”
After a wonderful conversation with Mr. Freeman and his wife Tracy, students visited the Innovation Hub of Haifa and firms . Firms representatives shared their vision of the importance of working in groups , team work to develop solutions and initial project ideas. Here participants in the project contribute their knowledge and skills. In smaller groups they can decide for themselves which ideas they will pursue and develop into projects. This practice is intercultural communication, and organization of students in joint projects with industry and acquire methodological skills. At the end students learned to present their concepts and share their work experiences. In sessions with inspiring lecturers, students received deepen knowledge of industrial experiences
Benefits to students from participating in such seminars combining hi tech , knowledge, innovation and culture are very high and important. This meeting with Haifa municipality innovation hub and Reader ltd, also drew conclusions about the model that has enabled benefits to flow to all involved – students, industrial partners and educational institutions.
The tour continued with a visit to the memorial gardens and the nature park in Ramat Handiv, the great dream, the wonderful story of Baron Edmond Benjamin de Rothschild

On Wednesday ,July 19, 2023 , HIT Holon Institute of Technology held an interesting tour of HIT Industrial design exhibition for Ambassadors, Embassies staff and MFA representatives
On Display: Industrial Design and Interior Design Exhibitions Cap Off 4 years
Four years of hard work culminated on June 13th , in the long-awaited opening of an extensive exhibition of the works of graduates from the Faculty of Design at HIT
Some 100 graduates of the Departments of Interior Design and Industrial Design showcased their final projects in a grand and eventful opening.
"Students majoring in Design embark on a difficult path, arduous and full of obstacles," says Prof. David Rawet, Dean of the Faculty of Design. "The current class of 2023 was challenged by the Corona pandemic and overcame it brilliantly. "
Graduates worked hard to make everything ‘come together’ for this special moment, during which they presented the final and concluding project embodying their years of study at the Faculty of Design.
Many projects revolve around environmental issues, i.e., exploring the environmental responsibility of the interior designer during these climatically challenged times.
“"Our goal was to direct our graduates toward a constantly evolving and changing reality. The world of sustainability demands finding new uses for existing structures, and reviewing and reconsidering patterns of living, culture, and commerce – all with a view to creating new approaches to solve old problems. We are using large scale programmatic thinking as well as small-scale approaches to space treatments, personal environments, materials, and technologies" says architect Udi Cramsky, Head of the Interior Design department.
The exhibition showcases projects that reflect the students’ fields of interest and invites visitors to take a fascinating look behind the scenes of the creative processes which helped define the projects."The current exhibition is a significant milestone both for the graduates and for us, the academic and professional faculty of the Industrial Design department. The achievements of the graduates are noteworthy considering the enormous challenge posed to all of us by the Corona pandemic, which was the reality during their first three years. These unique circumstances impacted significantly on the way in which we were able to teach and study,” said Ofer Zik, Department Head.
Among the innovative works are designs such as shoes made for walking on Mars, a social enterprise to improve canine lives by connecting kennels with volunteers, independent
housing units for the homeless, an Arab-Jewish cultural space in Jaffa that serves as a place for creation, thought and dialogue between contemporary cultures, and more.
MADE associates with several key-partners in the field of assistive technology. Among our partners are rehabilitation centers, special education institutes, special needs accelerators, social entrepreneurs and municipalities.
MADE develops and runs a unique academic course which brings together multidisciplinary teams of students to create novel solutions for people with special needs. A semester-long (14 meetings) course “Design & Engineering meet special needs” invites bachelor students from all faculties for a hands-on introduction to the field of assistive technology & design. Foremost, we engage students from the design, engineering and computer science faculties at HIT.
