The UK Prime Minister has announced the creation of a "tech envoy to Israel" as part of a move to encourage further co-ordination between the two countries in the start-up and technology fields.
Saul Klein, a partner at investment firm Index Ventures, will act as an unpaid ambassador for tech partnership between Britain and Israel and help build links with innovative Israeli companies.
He will be tasked with advancing the relationship between business in the UK and Israel by hosting events and supporting tech companies working in such sectors as digital innovation, life sciences and Cleantech.
Mr Klein already serves as an advisor to the UK Israel Tech Hub, which was launched last October in order to boost economic growth.
