As part of the journey, professional experts from Bank Hapoalim and members of the Center for Financial Growth come to various cities throughout the country.

Bank officials visited local businesses from the city of Sderot and the region's settlements and heard from those business owners about the challenges they face, the innovation and development of their private business and how they aim to expand it. Bank executives began their tour of the "spring ornamental nursery" in Moshav Beit HaGadi, a huge family nursery of the largest size that specializes in growing a variety of ornamental and fruit trees; At the "Tikuma Hydroponics" farm in Moshav Tikuma, the largest hydroponics farm in Israel, which grows crops on a bed of water.
