Vered Gilad, Daphne Getz, Eran Leck
More than in any other country, the Israeli high-tech industry relies on foreign investment. Do major MNCs such as Intel, Microsoft and Google use the IP and knowhow created in their R&D centers in Israel for their own benefit, or do they contribute to the GDP and to the domestic economy? Researchers at the Technion believe that their contribution is critical to the success of the Israeli high – tech and the Israeli economy.

How to harness the traditional manufacturing to the startup nation
Alongside the thriving high – tech industry, where innovation is a leading value, operates in Israel widespread traditional industry where innovation is low and employee productivity is lagging behind the world. Enterprises-LOCK in Ashkelon and Lachish Industries and Synergy in Sderot are an example of how innovation can create a global competitive advantage in the traditional industries as well, and provide stable jobs.
