Israel, a powerhouse for networked entrepreneurship

Georges Haour

International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management, 2005, vol. 5, issue 1/2, 39-48

Abstract: The Middle-East seems to exist only when crises or acts of violence occur in the region. This takes away from thinking of Israel as the world's most vital place for entrepreneurship. In fact, as a percentage of GDP, Israel has the world's highest level of venture capital; in this area, it invests (1.2%) twice as much as the USA. In addition, the Israeli scene presents specific factors, which include intense networking and transfer of military technologies.

Keywords: entrepreneurship; technological innovation; techno-ventures; technoentrepreneurship; Israel; entrepreneurial networks; technology transfer; military technology; venture capital. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
