neurial ecosystem over the last three
decades that is transferable to our state
so that business, culture and policy can
be more innovative," Kaufman said.
"After going to Israel yearly for decades,
I could see how it transformed itself
quickly to an entrepreneurial ecosystem."
This mission sought to uncover
insights that could help Michigan and
Detroit improve the way they attract and
retain young talent, which is critical,
Kaufman said. That was a major motive
for the inaugural mission.
"Davidoff was the catalyst who came
to us with the concept, and it resonated
right away" he said. Federation did not
have to put money into this trip because
everyone paid their own way.
Evan Weiner, COO of Edward C. Levy
Co., the Dearborn-based maker of steel
mill services and construction materials,
said, "It's so hard to get a true picture of
Israel from reading the press. This was
a mixture of understanding how social
entrepreneurialism
mixes with educa-
tion, government and
business in a manner
which is not accom-
plished anywhere in
America"
And the lessons
that CEOs can learn
Evan Weiner
from Israel are as
relevant as ever,
especially at a time when the Michigan
Economic Development Corporation is
being defunded.
One of Weiner's key takeaways: In
Israel, they've created a safety zone that
makes it easier to take ideas to market
and has major incentives from the
Chief Scientist office in the Ministry of
Economy, which spends half a billion
dollars a year to de-risk ventures and
incentivize risk-taking.
"The Israeli [Office of] Chief Scientist
is a role model in the way it works and
seeds new ventures" Weiner said.
He also said the mission was a fun,

challenging trip and that the job now
is to come together and choose one or
two ideas that can be brought to frui-
tion to improve the quality of life for all
Michiganders.
One idea Weiner mentioned could be
an entrepreneurial boot camp in Detroit
neighborhoods that sets up a system to
launch new ventures while providing
people an opportunity to complete their
education.
This was the third visit to Israel for
Meijer's Murray, though the first in a
professional context. For him, the mis-
sion confirmed the vision of Israel as a
hub of technology, and he was impressed
by the range of startups in the country.
"It was a terrific trip with serious
engagement" Murray
said. "We'll now be
looking for potential
partners to spark
more entrepreneurial
activity in our state:'
Several par-
ticipants noted
how Israel's
Mark Murray
Interdisciplinary
Center in Herzliya
and the University of
Michigan both house a Sam Zell-funded
academic program to accelerate entre-
preneurship within the student body on
campus.

INTO THE FUTURE

Larry Wolfe, president of Production
Tool Supply in Madison Heights and
Detroit Federation president, articu-
lated his thanks to Davidoff for doing a
fantastic job and shared his gratitude to
the CEOs for taking time to see Israel's
growth story.
"We came away seeing how Israel in
the 21st century is an industrious nation
with nearly unlimited potential" Wolfe
said. "Furthermore, the participants of
the trip care deeply about tikkun olam
[repairing the world], which will make it
easier to spark partnership opportunities
back in Detroit"
