Page 14 - Academic and Experiential Study in Israel

Business

endless papers and books have been written

trying to explain what makes israel, a tiny country
in the heart of the middle east, one of the most
successful business and innovation hubs in the

world. Some say it's the israeli "chutzpah" (audacity),
others claim it's the immigrants' mentality, and
many identify the role of the mandatory army
service and the forced need to be ahead of our

neighbors in advanced defense systems.

come see for yourself what makes israel the
number one hub for start-ups outside of Silicon
Valley, the number one in per capita Vc investments,
and the number one in rate of r&d spending

globally.
