High-Tech Industry In Israel
Independence Day Coin 1999/5759 51st Anniversary

The Bank of Israel dedicated this Independence Day Coin in honor of the impressive achievements of High-Tech Industry in Israel.

A few facts about the High-Tech Industry in Israel:
- The High-Tech Industry currently provided 2/3 of Israel's exports
- The Telecommunications Industry in Israel is among the most advanced worldwide.
- Hundreds of start-ups are established annually in Israel – Only the United States tops in Israel in this field.
- Israel leads the world in the number of scientists and technicians per 10,000 workers.

These impressive achievements are the result of numerous factors including: the high level, well-educated manpower; ability to work under pressure; team work; cleverness and initiative; advanced technological education; new immigrants from the former Soviet Union (50% of the new immigrants hold an academic degree); former IDF personnel responsible for building the foundations of the High-tech Industry in Israel; and governmental policies.
