In the new era the importance of tech knowledge is well known. Some say that tech knowledge is what makes us a manufacturing element that can replace all other elements. The Hi-Tech industry specializes in that area, and they invest a lot in research and knowledge. One can define the Hi-Tech industry as “rich in knowledge and technology”. This definition includes many industries, consisting of many different fields. Here at Donitza we specialize in media and communication guidance for companies in every sector.
In the developing world, Hi-Tech is rapidly gaining a central place in the economy. One of the leading aspects of Hi-Tech is its influence on the markets world-wide. The development of those industries has created one of the longest and most meaningful high tides in stock markets around the world and has changed the way companies are priced, traded, and managed. As a result, the stock holding of the public has grown significantly. In the USA the Hi-Tech stock investments are at over 50% of the total stocks. The investments in Hi-Tech equipment are 6% of the commodity. They end up at about 550 billion dollars a year, with about 250 billion of those in computer technology. The Hi-Tech industries contribute about 30% to American economic growth – about 1.5% out of 5%.
“The great irony of the Start-Up Nation story is that Israel has transformed the challenges it has faced into assets that form the cornerstones of its culture of innovation. Adversity of all kinds, such as being under attack, small, isolated, and lacking resources, have forced Israelis to be resourceful, to do more with less, to innovate, and to be global from day one. The fact that Israel specializes in adversity is most dramatically seen in downturns.”
Dan Senor and Saul Singer, Author of “The Startup Nation”
Israel is one of most powerful and influential countries on the globe when it comes to high technology. According to Startup Ecosystem Report Startup Genome: “As a country, Israel may be only 60 years old and have a population of around 7 million, but it has the highest density of tech startups in the world. In 2009, 63 Israeli companies were listed on the tech-orientated NASDAQ – which is more than Europe, Japan, Korea, India, and China combined. Almost every major tech company today has some kind of subsidiary in Israel, including Intel, Microsoft, Google and Cisco to name just a few. Consequently, 39% of Israeli high-tech employees work in the R&D departments of multinational companies.”
“A key lesson from Israel is that innovation is not just something that goes on inside companies; it belongs to a wider culture that fosters both innovation and entrepreneurship. Israel is a country of immigrants — there are over 70 nationalities represented in this tiny country. Two out of every three Israelis are newcomers, or the children or grandchildren of newcomers. Immigrants are natural risk takers since they were willing to uproot themselves and start over.”
