Start-up Nation – Leading in Technology and Innovation
Innovation is rooted deep within the cultural DNA of the Israeli people. Establishing a state in a land that is over 50% desert, under constant threat, led to the development of a highly advanced technological industry.
Israeli innovators, entrepreneurs, researchers and workers have created countless pioneering technologies and products that keep changing the lives of hundreds of millions of people around the globe. New and revolutionary technologies in a long list of industries, including media & Internet, cyber security, water technology, health & life sciences, agriculture & crossbreeding, FinTech, automotive, machine learning, hi-tech & mobile, cleantech, sustainable energy and defense, all developed in Israel, continue to have great impact on the everyday lives of people in every corner of the world.
In recent years, Israel has entered a new era in which over 1,500 new hi-tech companies are established annually and the development of countless new and breakthrough technologies creates a race between the largest multinational corporations’ venture arms, global VCs and other investment entities – all converging on Israel to invest in their growth and acquire their next best technologies.
