FOR MICHIGAN COMPANIES

Michigan partners with Israel because:

Israel is a world leader in technology development and innovation, has top universities, and has a diversified manufacturing base. Israel has 3,000 high-tech companies centered on life sciences, homeland security, alternative energy, water technology and agro-technology to name but a few. Israel has more engineers and scientists per capita than any other country in the world. It has the third highest number of U.S. patents per capita as well. And, Israel has preferred trade status with the United States, making it the perfect global partner. That is why the first international investment that Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. made was in Israel’s Iscar Corporation.
