Israel is famous in its innovative, entrepreneurship and dynamic atmosphere, second only to Silicon Valley in high- tech investment in R&D, known also as ‘start- up nation’.
The advanced educational system and high-quality incubation system made Israel the first investment choice for many of the world’s leading corporations, entrepreneurs, and investors. All that pushed Israel’s economy to new heights in the past decade with a growth that outpaced the global economy growth.
Israel maintains diplomatic relations with most Asian countries and strong economic ties in fields like R&D, agriculture, education and manufacturing.
