The largest oil and gas conference in the world, known as the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) was held this past week and 14 Israeli companies were present during the three-day event (May 4-7) in Houston, Texas. Founded in 1969, OTC serves as a major platform for the development of hydrocarbon resources in the area of drilling, environmental protection, exploration, production development, technology and innovation. Israel’s Economic Mission to the Southern United States brought 14 Israeli companies to exhibit innovative technologies at the conference, including Amiad Water Systems Ltd., BERMAD, HARBO Technologies, Strauss & Co., PCT- Protective Cooling Technology, among others.
In addition to the Israeli companies, this year’s conference featured 2,682 companies from 37 countries. Over 90,000 visitors attended the U.S. oil and gas industry conference from across the world. Texan Congressman Randy Weber (R) visited the Israeli Pavilion and met with the 14 Israelis companies as well as representatives of the Israeli Government and Economic Consul, Michal Niddam-Wachsman to discuss the strong alliance between Israel, the U.S. and Texas.
According to Israel’s Economic Mission to the Southern U.S. Facebook page, Israeli government representatives also discussed new ways to expand the relationship as well as collaboration and mutual benefit across all business sectors. The Government of Israel Economic Mission to the U.S. Southern Region is part of the Israeli Foreign Trade Administration at Israel’s Ministry Economy.
