CNBC...Israel, "Start-Up Nation"
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHLyANGmLjQ]Israel: A Leader in Business Innovation - YouTube[/ame]
Israel is the fastest-growing and one of the most dynamic, entrepreneurial and innovation-based economies on the planet that barely got hit by the global economic crisis in 2008. There are more Israeli companies on NASDAQ than all of Europe combined, than all of India, China, Korea, Japan combined. More global venture capital each year goes into Israel on a per capita basis than the
US--2/12 times more than the US, 30 times more than Europe even in 2008 when the global economy was melting down.
Warren Buffett [who purchased Israeli-based Iscar], said it is one of the greatest-managed companies and innovators he's ever seen. Teva is the biggest generic [pharmaceutical] company in the world.
