Israel’s Tech Sector: as Strong as Ever

“Despite a decrease in capital raising… foreign VCs … and private investors are

gradually increasing their activity.”– Koby Simana (IVC) in

“High-tech firms raise $1.92B in 2012”, 12 Feb 2013

Culture is Key

“In the 1970s the tech communities of Silicon Valley and the area around MIT …were similar in size. But by the 1990s Silicon Valley was dominant.

The accepted explanation for the difference … is the open and collaborative culture of the Valley. This same culture is what is driving growth in … Israel.

[This can be fostered by] celebrating entrepreneurship and encouraging the broader community

to participate encouraging entrepreneurs to try again and again… and again recycling knowledge and capital back into the community”
