Israel&#8217;s economic achievements, especially in high-tech sectors, were enabled through a 40-years long various directed government policy measures aimed at fostering scientific and technological progress, and nurturing highly skilled workforce and R&amp;D capabilities. The knowledge created and developed here was successfully translated into thriving high-tech sector, aided by sophisticated financing mechanisms which were also fostered by dedicated government policies.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Despite Israel&#8217;s success in leveraging science and technology, (S&amp;T), to generate impressive economic growth, there is a growing concern about &#8220;dual economy&#8221; problems, and the laggard traditional industries and services which do not benefit enough from the advanced technologies. Moreover, Israel is facing an intensifying competition in the global high-tech arena, on markets for goods and technologies, foreign investments, and skilled manpower. Accordingly, designing a new, comprehensive and long-term science and technology policy should be a high priority of the government. Such a policy must be based on accurate and up-to-date quantitative information on R&amp;D, and S&amp;T activities in Israel, including expenditures, achievements and support measures, while constantly comparing these to comparable developments in other countries.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This updated 2007 publication, second in the series &#8220;Science, Technology and Innovation Indicators in Israel: An International Comparison&#8221;, has been developed and updated in cooperation with the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics, (CBS). It covers the following five core areas in R&amp;D and S&amp;T innovativeness, comparing Israel to several other developed countries:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div>National expenditures on civilian R&amp;D: estimates of resources invested and levels of R&amp;D activities in Israel, distinguishing between financing and performing levels of such activities.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Human capital in S&amp;T: structure of workforce engaged in new technology formation and R&amp;D, including number of students by field of study and degree granted and other characteristics.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Scientific and technological achievements: quantitative measures of R&amp;D and S&amp;T activities, including number of patents, scientific publications and their citations.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Economic impacts of R&amp;D and S&amp;T activities: estimates of the contribution of advanced technologies and their developments to the Israeli economy and its foreign trade.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>Technological readiness: familiarity with and access to computers and information technology, and IT infrastructures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lacking natural resources, size and proximity to markets, the state of Israel must rely on scientific and technological know-how for its survival and prosperity.
