DRITA

DRITA – Dayton Region Israel Trade Alliance

The Dayton Region Israel Trade Alliance (DRITA) is a regional public-private initiative that seeks to strengthen our region’s bond with Israel through economic growth. Our program is a joint venture between the Dayton Development Coalition (DDC), Montgomery County and the City of Dayton. The program is unique in that we employ a business representative, Hadas Bar-Or, who is based out of Tel Aviv.

DRITA has been instrumental in creating valuable economic development relationships in Israel. The program has been building and developing new innovative ways to create awareness around the Dayton Region’s deep talent pool, academic and research engines, venture capitals and of course our excellent quality of life here in the Dayton Region.

Today, as businesses struggle with shortages of highly skilled personnel, the value of shared solutions and effective collaboration is greater than ever. Companies need every tool available to boost productivity and create that critical and competitive edge. Collaborations, partnerships and JV’s can assist with obtaining the essential tools necessary to accomplish this goal.

DRITA promotes collaboration with companies of all sizes and industries, with over 140 Business Documents and Agreements already signed between Israeli and Dayton region entities.

We assist Israeli companies to capitalize on business opportunities, guiding them as they enter U.S. markets. Our team of experts will search for that perfect partner as well as facilitate meetings with top executives; making connections to assist with financing, licensing, distribution, and manufacturing.

Our ability to work with all types and sizes of companies means less risk and faster speed-to-market for your business. We work strategically with our many partners which means that you have a network of resources at your fingertips. We look forward to opening doors for additional Israeli businesses interested in establishing an operation in the Dayton region of the US.
