The Embassy of Israel in India has announced the first-of-its-kind trilateral cooperation between Israel, India and the UAE. Under the leadership of  Dr. Ron Malka, Ambassador of Israel to India, a trilateral partnership has been initiated by the International Federation of Indo-Israel Chambers of Commerce (IFIICC) through which an Israel-based company, Ecoppia, is producing an innovative robotic solar cleaning technology in India for a landmark project in the UAE.

Ecoppia, an Israeli world leader in robotic cleaning solution for solar with its manufacturing base in India and over 2,700MW of global projects, became the first-of-its-kind success story of a multilateral collaboration with the UAE-Israel-India Trilateral by signing its first landmark deal in the UAE with the support of the International Federation of Indo-Israel Chambers of Commerce (IFIICC).

The deal includes a multilateral collaboration with a leading global renewable energy partner of IFIICC, IBNS said. 

Reuven (Ruvi) Rivlin, President of the State of Israel; Dr. Ron Malka, Ambassador of Israel to India; Pavan Kapoor, Indian Ambassador to the UAE; Dr. Ahmed Abdul Rahman AlBanna, UAE Ambassador to India; Sanjeev Kumar Singla, Ambassador of India to Israel who are all founding patrons of IFIICC and Jonathan Miller, Special Envoy for Energy, Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs congratulated Ecoppia’s CEO Jean Scemama and IFIICC Founder & Chairperson Merzi Sodawaterwala for this landmark achievement.

Ecoppia’s innovative fully autonomous, water-free robots will allow this dusty and arid region to achieve optimal productivity while saving precious water resources.

The announcement comes as the Abraham Accords peace agreement signed between Israel and UAE have certainly paved the way for friendships and business partnerships across the region. India being a friend of both the UAE and Israel is clearly the preferred partner to leverage the global potential of the UAE, Israel and India Trilateral.

At a recently held exclusive event of the IFIICC in Dubai organised by its Founder and Chairperson Merzi Sodawaterwala, Diplomats of UAE, Israel and India representing the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had pegged the innovation and international business potential of the UAE, Israel and India Trilateral to be $110 billion by 2030.

Reuven Rivlin, President of the State of Israel and founding patron of IFIICC in his letter to IFIICC wrote “This belief in shared existence is the legacy I received from my father, and this spirit and belief is what I see in the peace agreements, the Abraham Accords, reached between Israel and the UAE and Bahrain. I also see this spirit and belief in your work together to foster business links that are based on understanding and friendship among the peoples of the region.

"Business is a great connector between peoples. I encourage you to dream big dreams that make the most of what each of us has to offer and making our world a better, safer place. I wish you all success for your discussions together, and that they form the basis of new friendships and partnerships across the region.”

Dr Ron Malka, Ambassador of Israel to India and founding patron of IFIICC, who was the first to identify and highlight the potential of Israel-UAE-India Trilateral congratulated Ecoppia and IFIICC for the success and said that he was proud to witness that the seeds sown by us are bearing good fruit.

He added “This confluence of Israeli cutting edge technology, manufactured in India, and imported from India to UAE for the benefit of its citizens, have so much potential, and this is only the beginning of it. I applaud the vision, determination, leadership and commendable achievements of the IFIICC by creating such landmark multilateral partnerships that will result in significant impact for all nations.”

Dr Ahmed Abdul Rahman AlBanna, Ambassador of UAE to India and founding patron of IFIICC, said ”There is tremendous potential in the trilateral cooperation between Israel, the UAE and India and multilateral cooperation with other countries and I welcome such great success stories of Ecoppia through the IFIICC led by Merzi Sodawaterwala, who is leading from the front in harnessing the innovation and international business potential of the Abraham Accords that will benefit the world.”

Pavan Kapoor, Ambassador of India to UAE and founding patron of IFIICC who was the Ambassador of India to Israel from March 2016 to September 2019 said “Global goals of sustainable development can only be achieved through international cooperation. This requires players to come together to share knowhow and efficient manufacturing techniques, IBNS said. 

"The project by Ecoppia, involving collaboration between Israel and India and the UAE, exemplifies how such efforts can bear fruit in this direction. Full credit to Merzi Sodawaterwala and IFIICC for making this happen.“
