After a first successful event in healthcare investment opportunities, the partnership between Cosmopole PR agency and Tel Aviv-based consultancy Kamir Strategy will initiate a cultural event that will bring to light the stories of a few successful women in their own fields
- UAE-based Cosmopole has joined forces with Kamir one of Israel’s top strategies and communication consulting firms.
- Together, they have launched a programme "Connecting UAE-Israel"; a connection hub established to create networks and introductions between companies and personalities from the UAE and Israel.
- The initiative aims to strengthen the ties between the UAE and Israel in many different aspects – business, culture and more.
Almost 2 months after the UAE and Israel signed the historic Abraham Accord, and after a successful first event, the initiative "Connecting UAE-Israel" is moving forward to their next event, and this time it is on a cultural aspect.
The event, called "A Dialogue Between Women", will occur on the 11th of November, at 16:00 pm Israel time (18:00 UAE time).
During the event, there will be a panel of six successful women from Israel and the UAE. The event will be open to the public and be free of charge. During the event, each panelist will tell her unique story and discuss a few discussion topics brought up by the moderator. At the end of the event, there will be also time for questions to be brought up from the audience.
The event’s goal is to speak about similarities and differences between the countries, and also impart words of advice to the future generations. The audience will have a chance to actively approach these women during the event.

"Throughout my years as a strategic consultant, I have learned firsthand that women in leadership or executive positions demonstrate a combination of strength, practicality, common sense, and emotional intelligence," said owner and chairman of Kamir Strategy, Eli Kamir. "After establishing the Connecting UAE-Israel initiative, we understood that this new relationship between the countries should not be only about business, and that we need to use this platform to connect between us in more aspects too – culture, tradition, family values, and more".
Connecting UAE-Israel’s first event was two weeks ago and was about "Investment Opportunities in Healthcare", where 5 top tier Israeli Healthcare companies introduced themselves to UAE investors.
"A Dialogue Between Women is the second event in a series of many different events yet to come, and is an opportunity for women from both countries to hear some inspirational stories from very impressive women in the UAE and Israel" said Claire Micheletti, Managing Director of Cosmopole. "We chose our panel very carefully, every woman in the panel is successful in her own right and trailblazed in her own field, and we are sure we will hear some interesting stories and point of views from each and each one of them".
During the event, the moderator will bring up some topics for the panelists to discussed such as:
- Women in business over time, has time really changed things?
- Similarities\differences between the UAE\Israel?
- New friendships between the countries both in business and personal
- A word of advice to the future generation, and more
"The Abraham Accords are a manifestation of progressive thinking adopted by the UAE leaders. The focus remains on enhancing stability, development, prosperity and tolerance in the region.
Enterprises in the UAE today, are keen to expand diplomatic and commercial cooperation with Israel, leading to bilateral relations by stimulating economic growth and promoting technological innovation. It is imperative for the business groups in both nations to be open to exploring opportunities for collaboration and long-term relationships." Said – Arshi Ayub Mohamed Zaveri, CEO of TrustWithTrade.
"The Abraham Accords is very exciting progress for Israel. From my experience by working with many countries around the world, there are some cultural differences one must know before conducting business with the other side. For this reason, I am very excited to participate in this kind of event which will give us a glance to the Emirati culture, and will let us hear from firsthand about the experience and the work of some of the most impressive Emirati women", Said Tzipa Carmon, Founder and managing Director of T.C Exports.
