About MIDC

The Maryland/Israel Development Center (MIDC) is a non-profit organization that promotes bilateral trade and economic development between Maryland and Israel. It was established in 1992 after the Maryland Governor and Israeli Ambassador signed the Maryland/Israel Declaration of Cooperation.

A constituent agency of The Associated: Jewish Federation of Baltimore, the MIDC operates as a “public-private partnership” among The Associated, the Maryland Department of Commerce and the Israeli Ministry of Economy and Trade. The Declaration of Cooperation states that the goal of the organization is “to stimulate the growth of employment opportunities in Maryland and Israel by promoting contacts and exchanges among the business, scientific, academic and community leaders of both places.”
