IBC is taking place in September 8-13 in Amsterdam. If you plan on attending and want to meet one of these companies, the Israeli Chamber of commerce can help you set up a face-to-face meeting.
A special shout out to the Israel Export and International Cooperation Institute as well as the Foreign Trade Administration of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor.
