6,000 miles apart. One shared vision.

Michigan and Israel both built their economies on manufacturing strength, mobility innovation, and cutting-edge research. The Michigan Israel Business Accelerator (MIBA) transforms that shared DNA into real economic growth.

What started as a grassroots initiative in 2007 became Michigan's only state-supported, country-specific economic development organization in 2017. Since then, we've generated $26M+ in measurable impact and connected over 4,500 companies across both regions.

Our latest milestone? The Elevator — the only U.S. landing hub exclusively for Israeli startups. While October 2023 paused outbound missions, it accelerated inbound activity, making Michigan the gateway for next-generation technologies in mobility, defense, healthtech, and sustainability.

MIBA isn't just connecting two economies — we're betting on the innovations that will define the future.
