  4. Israeli High-Tech Environment • Socialism is moving out, entrepreneurial spirit, similar to the “good old days” in Silicon Valley is taking it’s place No change • Young entrepreneurs with “chutzpah” and innovative ideas motivated by some of the latest successes of many Hi-Tech Israeli - start-ups No change • New generation of successful managers, trained in the USA are moving back to Israel The trend is accelerated due to better job alternatives in Israel

  5. Israeli High-Tech Environment (cont.) • Lack of experienced scientists and engineers Large number of experienced professionals are available • Manufacturing rising to international standards ISO 9000, TQM etc. No change • Free trade agreements with the European Community and the USA No change with some risk of boycott from Europe • Business and cultural links with international markets No change

  21. Summary Main points for the unique business climate opportunity • Manpower - availability of quality professionals • Creativity - plenty of word-class innovations from individuals and universities • Valuation – companies with good intellectual property and/or product are having difficulties raising money and are therefore willing to raise funds at lower valuation rates • Financial – governmental financial support for capital and R&D investments are available to “compensate” for the risks

  22. The opportunities are great, it is worthwhile to try Conclusions BUT • There are risks in starting an operation in Israel • The geographic distance is not convenient • The regional instability is a problem
