Israel currently has almost 4,000 active technology start-ups - more than any other country outside the United States. In 2010 alone the flow of venture capital amounted to $884m (£558m).
The result: high-tech exports from Israel are valued at about $18.4bn a year, making up more than 45% of Israel's exports, according to the Central Bureau of Statistics.

| Anyone want a job in Israel's Silicon Valley? Hm...so that's a no then... Israel is a world leader in terms of research and development spending as a percentage of the economy; it's top in both the number of start-ups and engineers as a proportion of the population; and it's first in per capita venture capital investment. Not bad for a total population a little more than New York! (Photos: Copyright Control).  Note: Please keep abreast of the Islamo Fascists whatever the topic of this blog. You can check out all or any of these important web sites below: Front Page, Anti-CAIR, Jihad Watch and Act for America which are mainly current news and articles, while the Myths of Islam is just that. Tell the Children is a fantastic reference site full of historical documentation. The latter shows (among other things), the links between the Nazis and Islam; these connections carry through to the Jihadist movements of today. |
