Israel may be a small country, but its contribution to the world of technology has been immense. Israel has
the second-largest number of startup companies in the world (after
the United States) and the largest number of NASDAQ-listed companies
outside North America. Today, these Israel technology companies spearhead the latest high-tech in weapons systems and continue to set new standards for technologically advanced defense systems around the world. In the 1970’s, as it became clear that Israel’s technological expertise could be applied to uses far beyond the military, defense giants spun off companies to develop and produce civilian products. At the same
time, international firms established local research and development
centers in Israel. These multinationals include Motorola, IBM,
DEC, and National Semiconductors and exposed Israelis to the rapidly
expanding fields of telecommunications and semiconductors. In 2008, Israel
had the 50th highest gross domestic product and 31st highest gross
domestic product per capita (at purchasing power parity) at $202.6
billion and $28,474, respectively. In 2007, Israel was invited
to join the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development,
which promotes cooperation between countries that adhere to democratic
principles and operate free market economies.
