How Did Israel Become the Start-Up Nation?

Produced by VisuakPolitik, a YouTube channel about global politics and international events, this video (09:33) explores how a country as small and turbulent as Israel managed to become one of the world’s innovation leaders. While mentioning other factors, such as Israeli « chutzpah » and the influence of mandatory military service, this video attributes Israel’s Start Up success to Yozma, a government initiative that attracts foreign venture-capital investments in Israel, Israel’s open immigration policy, and its high level academic institutions and educational system.
