Mission of the Florida-Israel Institute

As established under Florida statute, the mission of the Florida-Israel Institute (FII) at Florida Atlantic University is to assist in the development of stronger economic, educational, cultural and social ties between the State of Florida and the State of Israel through the promotion of expanded public and private dialog on cooperative research and technical acceptance activities, increased bilateral commerce, student and faculty exchange, cultural exchange, and enhancement of language training skills between the postsecondary institutions in Florida and Israel.

Few international partnerships offer the depth of opportunity found between Florida and Israel. From innovative research to expanding trade and cultural exchange, this relationship is a powerful catalyst for economic development, academic excellence and shared prosperity.

Recognizing its significance, Florida Atlantic University is proud to serve as the home of the Florida-Israel Institute, a state initiative dedicated to strengthening ties among institutions, industries and people.

By connecting Florida with Israel’s globally recognized academic and innovation ecosystems, the Institute helps prepare students to succeed in an increasingly interconnected world.

At its core, the Florida-Israel Institute exists to build lasting partnerships that advance knowledge, drive discovery and foster cultural understanding in ways that benefit Floridians, Israelis and communities around the world.

We are grateful for the vision and support of the State of Florida that make this collaboration possible. We look forward to working alongside our partner institutions to ensure the continued growth and impact of our Florida-Israel relationship.

Sincerely,
Adam Hasner
President, Florida Atlantic University
