Why Israel

Israel is the world’s hub for innovation and a powerhouse for pioneering technologies. From game-changing startups, to world-class universities, to 300-plus multinational R&D centers, Israel is at the forefront of shaping the future. Beyond being known as the “Startup Nation,” Israel has one of the strongest economies in the world, and has experienced steady growth for more than a decade. Israel’s diverse open market economy has a proven record of resilience and sustained competitiveness in the face of global economic crisis. While Israel, like Rhode Island, is small in size and population, it is one of the world’s premier destinations for innovation and economic growth.
