U.S. Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx, on an official visit to Israel, came to Tel Aviv to see for himself what Israeli innovation is all about, and get a glimpse into future of transportation technology. During his visit, Secretary Foxx was a guest at the 2015 Fuel Choices Summit at Habima Theater, where he got the opportunity to closely survey the innovation and cutting-edge technologies that the Israeli start-up sector has to offer. Secretary Foxx also listened to rapid-fire presentations from Israeli start-ups in the area of transportation technology. Secretary Foxx said: "Part of the reason I'm here is because our relationship between the United States and Israel is so multifaceted. One of the ways in which we collaborate quite frequently is through the private sector and through great ideas and great innovation." He added: "My visit here is really about trying to see what's going on here and I've been very impressed with the ideas that I see happening."
