Why these pathways?
Israel’s reputation as the “start-up nation” is well justified; it has the highest number of start-ups per capita worldwide (with around one start-up per 1,400 inhabitants) and it also ranks among the top countries for patents per capita.
“Silicon Wadi”, the coastal plain region where most high-tech companies in Israel are based, is second only to the Silicon Valley in terms of the number of business start-ups. Every major tech corporation has headquarters there and high-tech clusters continue to thrive thanks to government incentives and policies, and to venture capital (VC).
As 2022 begins, Israel is the most critical partner of the United States in sustaining its edge over China, Russia, Europe and Japan in the development and manufacture of game-changing commercial and military technologies.
In 2022, with merely 0.11 percent of the global population, Israel will remain second only to—and closely collaborating with—the United States with regard to the development of ground-breaking high-tech innovations. Moreover, Israel’s brain power has attracted 20 percent of the global investment in cyber technologies, while Israel’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) startups account for some 20 percent of the global total.
