Gibraltar Finance jointly with Gibrael will be hosting a seminar in Gibraltar House London.

The event will be hosted by the Gibraltar-Israel Chamber of Commerce (Gibrael) and supported by Paul Astengo Senior Executive with Gibraltar Finance.

The event will look at the opportunities Gibraltar offers and cover a wide range of business areas including financial services, fintech, wealth management and start-ups.

The event has been conceived and developed by Ayelet Mamo Shay and Eran Shay of Gibrael who provide background to the organisation as follows, “The Gibraltar-Israel Chamber of Commerce (Gibrael) was established in October 2015.

The idea to launch “Gibrael” came from the realization that there are many potential synergies between Gibraltar and Israel. Both the Government of Gibraltar and local businesses are thirsty for innovative technologies and we thought Israel, who is renowned worldwide for being the “start-up nation” and a place from where many leading technologies have emerged, could best meet these needs. For Israeli companies, Gibraltar can serve as an ideal testing ground for new technologies as well as the ultimate gateway into the bigger European markets. There are benefits for both countries, and Gibrael would act as a bridge connecting people and facilitating business from both sides.

Indeed, the objective of Gibrael is to promote, strengthen and encourage the bilateral trade relations between Gibraltar and Israel. The Chamber’s activities focus on four main channels of assistance: First, the Chamber acts as the first port of call for Gibraltar businesses or individuals requiring information about doing business in Israel, and vice-versa for Israeli businesses inquiring about doing business in Gibraltar. Second, the Chamber acts as an “introducer”, connecting relevant business people from both countries. Thirdly, the Chamber advertises and promotes relevant business opportunities, projects, seminars and exhibitions. Fourth, the Chamber organises professional meetings, delegations, trade-missions and thematic seminars in areas related to the Gibraltar -Israel commercial relationship. Gibrael closely cooperates with the Government of Gibraltar, the Gibraltar Chamber of Commerce, the Israeli Ministry of Economy, the Israeli Embassy in London and with related institutions in Israel such as with the Israel Export Institute, the Manufacturers Association, and the Federation of Israeli Chambers of Commerce.
