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.
