The person Michael Striem
My personal life
Since my childhood the family is an important unit. My parents and grand mothers showed us the way to see the full part of the cup.
My journey wasn't easy. Creativity and imagination helped me thrive. My dedication to work and motivation to enjoy what I am doing led me to exceptional projects and experiences.
Take a moment to explore my portfolio below, which includes a combination of collaborations and side projects. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like to learn more.

Bruce and I (with our families) became best friends. The Reisch Family spent a Sabbatical here in Israel, and few years later the Striem family spent a Postdoctoral stay in Geneva, NY.
At Sun World's R&D center we had many visitors interested in the renowned 'embryo rescue' procedure.
Serving as the company's grape breeder, in the picture I describe the process of extracting small embryos from seed traces, to germinate and grow into seedlings.

Becoming CEO
When retired from been an employee
Who knows me best than myself?
Whom do I trust most than myself?
That's when I decided to invest the rest of my life in myself.
As always, it was a collective decision of the Striem family .
We established our company:
Striem + Genetica = Strieminetica.
So now I happily work for myself :)
