Israeli technology presented to leading US sports leagues<\/span><\/h2>\n

Israeli technology introduced to leading US sports leagues :<\/strong>\u00a0A delegation comprised of representatives from 13 Israeli companies went to New York and San Francisco last month in order to meet officials from the four leading American sports leagues: Major League Baseball (MLB), the National Hockey League (NHL), the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the National Football League (NFL).<\/span><\/p>\n

The delegation representatives went to the meetings to present the leagues’ officials with new and innovative Israeli sports technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Israeli delegation members also met with communications industry leaders and investors. The technological innovations introduced included sensors used to monitor the activity and performance of athletes (or regular gym goers), real-time video analysis \u2013 which can be combined with video games, new ways of creating the connection between fans and brands, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

The delegation was formed as part of an initiative by the Israel Export Institute, as well as the Israeli Economy Ministry’s representative offices in New York and San Francisco.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gili Ovadia, Economy Ministry trade attach\u00e9 on the West Coast of the United States, commented on the delegation’s activities: “As far as I’m concerned, it is very exciting and a great success to have the Israeli companies meet with the biggest names in the industry\u2014among them sports teams such as the (San Francisco) 49ers, (Oakland) Raiders, (Los Angeles) Dodgers, (Golden State) Warriors, media groups, leading Silicon Valley venture capital firms, and technology companies who are at the forefront\u2014From Twitter to Sony (and) HTC,\u201d said Ovadia.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe hundreds of meetings that were pre-arranged for the Israeli companies are the best testimony to Israeli (tech) industry’s power and innovative spirit.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Nili Shalev, Economy Ministry trade attach\u00e9 in New York, said, “The branches of the trade attach\u00e9 office in the US are working in conjunction with the Export Institute to expose Israeli innovation in a wide range of technological sectors. In the past few months, we’ve hosted dozens of Israeli companies in the US (that deal with) augmented reality, IoT (the Internet of Things. -ed), virtual reality, cyber, protection of the homeland, and educational technologies. The sports technology delegation was a great opportunity for us to expose Israeli innovation and create business opportunities in one of the ‘hottest’ and most popular business areas in the world.”<\/span><\/p>\n
