Roee Madai, Israeli Consul for Economic Affairs to the US, Southern Region, will be featured on Total Career Success, an Internet show on VoiceAmerica Talk Radio Network, at 11 a.m. Central on Monday, November 30. The show is designed to inform and encourage listeners to achieve their career goals by featuring experts and business leaders to provide job search assistance and career development. Entrepreneurship, venture capital, research and development and educated workforce and government, industry and university collaboration have put Israel in the global economic spot light.
Multination companies such as Microsoft, Intel, SAP, IBM, Google, HP, Applied Materials and Motorola have discovered that in Israel they can find the technologies that comprise an important part of the engine for their future growth in the competitive global market. In the past three years, Israel has enjoyed annual growth of more than 5%, consistent price stability, a drop in unemployment and an increase in exports. Foreign direct investment in the last three years was $28 billion, a dramatic increase over previous years with an additional $68 billion of Israeli investments abroad. Warren Buffet’s acquisition by Berkshire Hathaway of 80% of Iscar for $4 billion is one prominent example.
Show co-host Sheryl Dawson shared, “Israel has opened its doors to the global market and has enjoyed the fruits of economic prosperity, enabling it to utilize its relative advantages in the field of high-tech.”
Co-host Ken Dawson added, “Multinational companies operate 120 R&D centers in Israel representing an important engine for their future growth in communication, information and software, life sciences and renewable energy.”
Dawson added, “Israel offers a competitive advantage in the quality and availability of talent, technological innovation, entrepreneurship, competitive costs and supportive government policy.”
