The Israeli government, with help from the Atlanta-based America Israel Business Connector, is bringing a delegation of financial technology companies from the country to Atlanta in late June to foster business connections.
Israel, a strong tech hub, is home to 400-plus companies in various aspects of the so-called “fintech” sector, including payments, personal financial planning, lending, blockchain and other areas. Georgia, meanwhile, boasts that 70 percent of payment transactions in the U.S. pass through the networks of companies with a significant presence in the state. Upwards of 30,000 jobs in the state are supported by more than 100 fintech companies, according to the Technology Association of Georgia.
Israel also has a core strength in cybersecurity, an industry that underpins fintech where Georgia has collaborated with the country on past trade missions.
