About
Depending on how you size it, Israel is somewhere between the 147th – 151st biggest country in the world (i.e. very small) with less than 1/1,000th of the world’s population. Yet despite its size, its people have produced accomplishments greatly disproportionate to their numbers. It’s not widely known but Israelis have developed or had a hand in developing:
- Amazon’s Kindle
- Cell Phones
- Windows NT and XP Operating Systems
- Intel Pentium & Centrino Processors
- Voicemail
- Instant Messaging
- Ingestible Pill Camera
……and the list goes on and on
Why aren’t these accomplishments better known? Why are Israelis so good at innovating and creating, but not quite as good at marketing and selling their achievements?
SolutionBridge serves to provide this missing link for Israeli companies by being their strategic business development partner in the United States.
More amazing facts about Israel and its people:
- The population of the Jewish State lives up to its reputation as the People of the Book, ranking first worldwide in national expenditure on education as a percentage of GDP.
- This well-educated population has resulted in Israel having the highest concentration of engineers in the world, and more scientists per capita than any other country! For every 10,000 employees, Israel boasts 140 scientists and technicians, and 135 engineers.
- It’s no surprise then that 1,018 science and engineering articles are published per year per million inhabitants in Israel, ranking it 3rd in the world, just behind Sweden and Switzerland.
- And Israel was also 3rd worldwide in number of patents per 10,000 people, just behind Japan and Taiwan.
- Even Israel’s dairy cows are over-achievers, producing an average 25,432 pounds of milk per cow per year, compared to just 18,747 pounds from American cows; 17,085 from Canadian cows; 13,778 from European Union cows; 10,207 from Australian cows; and 6,600 from Chinese cows.
