Abstract

The Israeli extensive high‐tech industry is examined in the light of a model that presents the process chain from knowledge and capital formation through innovation and invention to production. The deeper roots for the Israeli high‐tech industry lie in Jewish cultural traits of scholastic learning and international communications, rather than in prolonged industrial development. Within a modern context, the industry based itself through a strong security accent, because of the Arab–Israeli conflict. The phases in the development of the Israeli high‐tech industry moved from the creation of a domestic base for R&D in information technology to a growing global one, blending between a leading domestic accumulation of knowledge, entrepreneurship, and limited capital on the one hand, and global capital and demands for technology on the other. The high‐tech industry and the services for its operation are centred on metropolitan Tel‐Aviv.
