Arlene Marom’s Summary

I'm an American living in Israel. Through my company, Tech River, I provide business development, marketing, and copywriting services to Israeli high tech firms. The Tech River website - http://www.tech-river.com - offers a growing body of links and articles and a directory of service providers.

Tech River was the Israeli representative of DEMO Germany (www.demogermany.de), the prestigious launchpad for innovative technology (www.demo.com). I am proud to say that half of the companies selected from across Europe and Israel for the first European DEMO event --- were Israeli !

This is an article I wrote about Israel's Silicon Wadi: http://www.tech-river.com/Articles/article_14.asp

On a personal note ...

My husband is an attorney specializing in complex international contracts.

I'm incredibly proud of our two daughters:
--- Chavi (Evie) has a degree in Aerospace Engineering from U of Florida (Gainesville) and works at her dream job as a rocket tester at SpaceDev.com in San Diego (I guess I read her too much Sci/Fi as a child).
--- Meira is studying Linguistics and French at Tel Aviv University, wrote and published her first book ('Of Candies and Dragons') - a fantasy in rhyme, and is working on a book of poetry and a fantasy in prose - all in Hebrew.

You are welcome to contact me at arlene@tech-river.com

If you're planning a visit to Israel, I'll be happy to show you around.
