Background and Objectives

The Israeli Business Club Sydney (IBCS) was founded in Sydney in October 2014.

The Club was founded following an expeditionary trip of our Club chairman, Mr. Yoav Mark Lewis, to meetings of the London Israeli Business Club, and learning about similar clubs in the world. Later Yoav, and other members participated in the launching of a business club in Melbourne.

IBCS was founded to support and promote business and personal relationships within the Israeli business community of Sydney, to strengthen relations with Israeli companies operating in Sydney, and to promote relationships with other clubs and communities both within Australia and abroad.

IBCS Main Goals:


  • Promote a Networking platform for Israeli business people in Sydney, promoting mutual support, and sharing of business activities.
  • Promote platform for Israeli companies operating in Sydney, or wishing to enter the market, to present their company, and to engage with the member’s experience and relationships within the business community of Sydney.

  • Promote the relationships with the Jewish business community in Sydney, as well as other Israeli business clubs in Australia and abroad.

  • IBCS encourages and supports members from all areas of our business life. Among IBCS members are business people from Sydney and surrounding areas, as well as Israeli companies. We come from different areas of expertise including technology, real estate, trade, agricultural development, medical, communications, legal, accounting, banking, investment, immigration, art and others.
