CHARLESTON, SC – As part of SCRA’s mission to support and grow high-tech companies in the state, SCRA hosted a networking event for accredited investors last week. The Trendlines Group, a leader in the Israeli start-up scene, made a stop in Charleston, South Carolina yesterday during its Trendlines Medical U.S. Investor Roadshow.
