Israel is one of the UK’s strategic business partners. Despite Israel’s size, annual bilateral trade has consistently been in excess of £2 billion over the last 10 years and, for the first time, has recently crept above the £3 billion mark. Imports from the UK to Israel rose by 50% during 2009-10. The UK and Israel have several economic treaties, including the avoidance of double taxation and bilateral duty free agreements.
Israel is a high-technology powerhouse with over 3,800 start-ups and a vibrant and talented business community eager to engage in joint ventures, strategic partnerships, knowledge-sharing and technology transfer arrangements. IsraelÂ’s reputation as a hub of innovation has been cemented this year by the inclusion of eight Israeli companies in the prestigious 2010 Global Clean Tech 100 List. In 2010, the economy grew by more than 4%.
