Israel has been the largest research and development center, outside the US, for the US’ commercial high tech sector.  

Over 250 US high tech giants – such as Intel, Dell, Amazon, John Deere, IBM, AOL, Applied Materials, Google, Facebook, Cisco, General Electric, General Motors, HP, 3M, Intuit, Motorola, Apple, Microsoft and NVIDIA – have established research and development centers in Israel. They have leveraged Israel’s brainpower, which has produced out-of-the-box and ground-breaking innovations, bolstering the global superiority of the US commercial high tech. 

This Israeli connection has enhanced the US global competitiveness, saving the US many years of research and development (worth billions of dollars), increasing US exports, expanding US employment and boosting the US Treasury’s (corporate and individual) income tax revenues.
