Israel-Hong Kong: Women-to-Women Bridge
Half-Day Forum

Throughout the 71 years since the establishment of the State of Israel, the people of Israel have transformed an agricultural kibbutz society into a start-up nation, and women play a significant part in its development and growth.
From the first Israeli female Prime Minister Golda Meir to the female Nobel Prize scientist and female pilots in the Israeli Air Force, women occupy prominent roles in Israel’s government, politics, legal, tech and business sector, social and cultural life.
Nowadays, Hong Kong has its first female Chief Executive, first female Stock Exchange chief, first female judges to join the city’s Court of Final Appeal and first female to lead the World Health Organization, with countless other outstanding women serving as principal government officials, legal and medical practitioners, in top management of banks and financial institutions, and as entrepreneurs and civic leaders.
Five outstanding Israeli women, each expert in their own fields of technology development and entrepreneurship, medical sciences, and finance and economy, will visit Hong Kong later this month for a dialogue with their counterparts at the forum “Israel-Hong Kong Women-to-Women Bridge” and other events.
The Consulate General of Israel in Hong Kong in partnership with Asia Society Hong Kong Center will host the forum on May 31, 2019, with three panel discussions on innovation and technology, medical sciences, and finance and economy.
The forum serves as a platform to connect generations of women and men from Israel and Hong Kong to celebrate, and be inspired and empowered by women, and to further enhance the economic, educational and cultural ties between Israel and Hong Kong.
In various outreach programmes organsied by the Consulate, the Israeli speakers will meet with local businesswomen and entrepreneurs on women’s opportunities in the technology industry and Israel’s economy.
They will also meet with local NGOs and community of Alzheimer’s disease, and speak to teachers and students at universities on STEM development and gender issues.
