The Startup Nation can already claim an
remarkable start in 2015 - In just the last week, $910M was raised
through acquisitions, including a new Amazon R&D center, and also
Dropbox and Alibaba are on their way to Israel
The presence of R & D centers of
multinational companies in Israel is extremely important to economic
output for the country in general and high-tech industry in
particular. R&D centers are a source of employment for thousands of people. Employees
are exposed to international processes and practices which create
a symbiotic relationship with Israel’s high-tech industry.
We must continue to encourage international
companies operating in Israel and ensure an environment which will enable them
to continue to operate here.
