Israel’s tech region is often called Silicon Wadi, a reference to its significance, second only to California’s Silicon Valley. From Intel, which is Israel’s largest high-tech employer, to small video gaming software start-ups, there are hundreds of opportunities to explore Israel’s tech sector. In meetings with companies that have fueled Israel’s high tech trend, consider how the nation maintains the highly educated workforce that the industry demands and what drives the entrepreneurs who have bet on it.
The ancient dirt of Judea is rich with historical treasures from centuries past and home to dozens of active digs. Delve deep into the process of uncovering history by observing major excavations such as the city of David, viewing the fruits of past digs, and even participating in archaeological efforts currently underway.
The country exemplifies the notion that necessity is the mother of invention. With a tricky climate and scarce natural resources, Israel has invested heavily in developing a highly skilled workforce. It is a country which encourages initiative and rewards innovation and improvisation. It is unquestionably (and controversially) a major player in geopolitics. Economically, its investment in research has paid off as well, and, over the past decade, Israel has attracted significant capital for its leadership in clean energy technologies, the biomedical field, and software development. Israel’s tech region is even called “Silicon Wadi” as a reference to its significance, second only to California’s Silicon Valley. The modern economy and historical complexity of this ancient land fuse to offer a truly unique destination for educational travel.
