IVA - Technology Innovation as a Magnet for Venture Investments

Many reasons for Israel’s success in the field of hi-tech

• Major R&D invested in defense & intelligence sectors in the IDF

• Highest ratio of PhDs and engineers per capita in the world

• World-class universities – Weizmann, Technion, Tel Aviv & Jerusalem,

Ben Gurion

• Favorable Regulatory Environment

• Strict international standards for protection of trademarks, patents and

intellectual property of all kinds

"Israel is a country that is hard-wired to compete in a flat world. It has a

population drawn from 100 different countries, speaking 100 different

languages, with a business culture that strongly encourages individual

imagination and adaptation and where being a nonconformist is the

norm. While you were sleeping, Israel has gone from oranges to

software, or as they say around here, from Jaffa to Java.”

Thomas L. Friedman of the New York Times

From Jaffa to Java
