Our Mission
The Ohio-Israel Ag & CleanTech Initiative (OIACI) facilitates the exchange of innovative ideas, products, and professional opportunities in agriculture, food, and Water – CleanTech between Ohio and Israel to improve resource and economic security for both regions.
Our Philosophy
With a commitment to supporting a thriving Ohio in today’s global community, OIACI believes in expanding Ohio’s economic reach and problem-solving options beyond our state borders. As a world leader in agricultural and water management techniques, Israel is a natural global partner for the State of Ohio, with opportunities for trade and sharing of technologies that may improve our community and economy.

Current Projects
Ohio is a water-rich state with a long agricultural history. Today, agriculture plays a major role in Ohio’s economy with an economic impact of $100 billion annually. Ohio farmers need to stay up to date on the latest technologies to stay competitive in this global market.
Processed food manufacturing and trade is an important component of Ohio’s economy. In this competitive industry Ohio food producers are looking for ways to improve branding and marketing, increase trade opportunities, and expand into new markets.
For decades, Israel has invested heavily in Water – CleanTech R&D; particularly in water and wastewater management. This investment, and the advanced technologies it has produced, has allowed Israel to become a world leader in water technologies.
