International firms which established local research and development centers in Israel in the 70s and the 80s brought the knowhow and the operating procedures of large conglomerates to local, inexperienced firms. These firms exposed Israeli industry to new areas, primarily in the telemunications and the semiconductor industries. Cooperation with Foreign Firms The Israel hightech industry can benefit from cooperation with foreign panies at all levels. Some of the success stories of the Israel hightech industry involve a partnership between an Israeli and a foreign partner, in which the Israeli partner provides the technology or the product, and the foreign partner provides the sales and support functions in target markets. This type of cooperation is a winwin situation for both sides. For US partners or investors it is even more beneficial as the partnership can apply for BIRD Foundation funds. Motorola, Intel and others have made Israel a preferred site for production facilities. These panies benefit from a high level of technicians and engineers and from proximity to their target markets in Europe. NAFTA agreements made Israel the manufacturing location of choice for products that are to be exported to Europe. It is quite difficult for Israel to pete with South Asian countries on the basis of labor costs, but Israels better product quality is an advantage. The rapidly growing hightech industry has the potential to grow at an even faster rate, despite the present economic slowdown which affects the hightech field less than other industries. In terms of productivity per employee, Israeli hightech still has a long way to go, pared to international standards. Although output per employee in the industry is $160,000 per annum, some countries boast an output of upward of $250,000 per employee per annum. Challenges facing the industry as the 21st century approaches: The shortage of professionals in electronics and software, a mon problem in the western world. In Israel, immigrants from the former Soviet Union served as a stopgap between 1992 and 1995. Since then, immigration to Israel has slowed down and the problem has again arisen. This in turn has increased the cost of salaries to a level where the advantage of a low cost per employee in Israel no longer exists. The hightech industry needs to widen its focus on Ramp。 over time the local plants evolved into full research and development facilities. Motorola took the process one step further and established one of its largest manufacturing facilities in Arad, near the Dead Sea. During the late 1970s Intel Corporation began operations in Israel. Today, Intels activities range from Ramp。, such as Korea, Malaysia and Taiwan, Israel is unique in that it is a true hightech country, with a highly developed domestic market for puting and telemunications. Israel is also a quick adopter of advanced technologies. Local expenditure on information technology is estimated at $ billion in 1997, with a steady growth of 1215% annually. Worldwide, expenditure on information technology reaches about $700 billion, with a 5year pound annual growth rate of about 10%. Telemunications Infrastructure In 1984 a governmentowned pany Bezeq took over the telephone and telemunications services, which had previously been supplied by a department of the Ministry of Communications. Since then, the telemunications infrastructure in Israel has developed at a rapid pace, and is today considered to be one of the most highly advanced systems in the region, providing full digital service throughout the country, advanced data munications, integrated services digital works (ISDN), asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), and fiberoptic and satellite services. It is clear that the development of telemunications services has contributed significantly to the developmen
