GAIN COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
A PASSPORT TO israeli innovation
Virginia companies access israeli innovation
Virginia companies can access Israeli innovative technologies to gain competitive advantages and shorten R&D cycles and lower costs.
Israel has the highest number of people (per capita) working in R&D in the world and the highest venture capital investment levels per capita in the world. These factors created a pool of hundreds of early-stage, innovative Israeli companies seeking to enter the U.S. market, and they are ripe to partner with mature Virginia businesses.
To access Israeli innovation, many leading U.S. companies built substantial R&D centers and business accelerators in Israel (e.g. Google; Apple; Motorola; CNN; Coca Cola; Microsoft). Intel recently committed investing $11 billion more in their Israel plant and Warren Buffet’s first acquisition outside the U.S. was an Israeli company.
