Israel is one of the main centers of innovation and concentration of technological startups. It is also one of the countries that invests the most in technology globally. But this position is nothing new, the history of the country has led Israel to promote research and development in the military field, with the appearance of numerous startups focused on cutting-edge industries such as cybersecurity and drones. The collaborative past, which is very different from the hypercompetitive trait of American society, has taken hold in Israeli society the concern to improve conditions in the country, thus favoring entrepreneurship and the evolution of its economy. Over the past few years, the Israeli government has maintained a very disruptive stance in order to accelerate its local innovation process, taking greater financial risks in the investment of startups, so that private capital could follow this trend. Thanks to this, Israel is one of the countries with the most invest in technology startups.Some notable ventures in Israel are startups: Wade, acquired by the Google giant, Cloudlock purchased by Cisco, Zebra, Mobileye, Moovit, Wix and TowerSec, among others.
