High-Tech Opportunities in Israel
Israel has been known for several years as “Silicon Valley II,” and for good reason. The Israeli high-tech industry has been developing and reaching new peaks each year, both in technological achievements and in sales.
Israel celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of its independence in 1998. Today more than ever before, the country’s helmsmen regard encouragement of high technology – the jewel in the crown of Israeli industry – as a national challenge of the first degree.
Wherever You Turn – High Tech
Factories, R&D centers, or software houses have opened up everywhere in Israel. Indeed, figures collected at the end of 1997 show an interesting geographical distribution of electronics and hardware firms, software houses and research centers. The central region is dominant, but there’s high tech in the Galilee, the Golan Heights, and the Negev, too. And the trend of increasing distribution is only beginning.
Electronics and hardware industries:
Total: 158 electronics & hardware firms
