About the Event
Israel is expanding its efforts to dramatically decrease the world’s dependence on oil in transportation. For the second year, the Fuel Choices Summit will bring together Israeli and international start-ups, enterprises, financiers, and policy makers in the field of alternative fuels and smart transportation. Under the auspices of the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, we will meet on December 3rd and 4th in Tel Aviv, Israel, to generate a dialogue about the world’s most forward-thinking approaches to transportation technologies and future business models, and to promote Israel’s ambitious goal of reducing 60% of the country’s oil consumption by 2025.
