Discover the “Start-Up Nation” - Israel

Over the past two decades Israel has excelled in start-ups and the venture capital industry. The country‘s coastal plain is the hub of its high-tech industry and often dubbed the Silicon Wadi. With more than 3,000 start-ups in a country of only eight million people, Isreal has the highest per-capita rate of start-ups in the world, and the largest number in absolute terms after the US.

Going hand in hand with start-ups is the venture capital industry which helps to finance many start-ups in their infancy. Not surprisingly Israel is also ranked top worldwide in venture capital investment per capita. Typical start-ups range from crowdsourcing to 3D printing, and from fast-charging batteries to video texting. Regardless of the category, however, innovation is undoubtedly the driving force behind them.

In addition to its advanced modern technology, Israel also has the highest number of museums per capita in the world. But numbers alone cannot really illustrate the sophisticated breadth and depth of the country’s traditions. The long list of UNESCO World Heritage sites might be a better measure.

As the Chinese saying goes, "Travelling brings one far greater benefit than can ever be learned from a book.” So it is only by experiencing Israel in person that can one truly get to grips with the exuberant diversity of this extraordinary country.

探索以色列創新國度

過去二十年間,以色列在新創企業以至創業投資的領域上擁有卓越的成就, 新創公司如雨後春筍般紛紛成立。這個人口與香港相約的國家,卻擁有全世界人均最高的新創公司數目,約2847人就有一間。其以高科技為中心的海岸沿線地區亦被譽為以色列的矽谷,創業氣氛緊次美國。

與新創企業息息相關的創業投資(Venture Capital),是眾多初創企業的資本來源。因此,以色列在人均創業投資額也是高踞國際排行。林林總總的初創項目,從眾包(crowdsourcing) 到3D打印;從快速充電電池至視頻短信,不管是哪一個類別,亦可見其不繼創新的動力。

除了其先進的現代科技,以色列也擁有全球人均最多的博物館。單看排行,或不足衡量以色列的廣度和深度,但只須一看當地由聯合國教科文組織所評定的世界遺產,便足以透視其绵遠悠長的文化及歷史。

古語有云:讀萬卷書不如行萬里路,只有踏上以色列之旅才能親身感受和體驗當地多樣的文化和發展。
