GE is opening a multidisciplinary R&D center in Israel
In addition to conducting research on water and clean energy, the center will focus on non-invasive medical devices, advanced diagnostic tools and medical navigation and guidance systems. It is the company's eighth R&D center in that country.
The company will hire 12 researchers for the center, which will be headed by Oded Meirav, who has served as the Vice President of business development at GE Global Research Center for the past four years. The center's goals include establishing partnerships with Israeli high-tech companies and academia
"Israel has a rich history of innovation and scientific discovery," says GE Global Research VP, advanced technologies Michael Idelchik "With the establishment of the new R&D center, we will be in a better position to build a close relationship with the Israeli technology community and identify new technologies that could become part of our portfolio."
GE currently has 450 employees at seven centers in Israel. Its other Israeli centers focus on specific products, while the new R&D center in Haifa will conduct more basic and general research.
