This book, which was prepared for the 17th Caesarea Economic Policy Planning Forum in 2009, presents data about the different elements that characterize the development of Israeli high-tech industries and the changes that have occurred in that area in recent years. It analyzes the contribution of Israel’s knowledge-based industries to employment, export, and domestic product, warns of potential threats to the continued growth of these industries as a result of the global financial crisis, and puts forward recommendations for practical steps at the national level that can promote knowledge-based industries.
