On Monday, April 9, 2012 at 7:30pm The City of Beverly Hills presents David J. Blumberg, Managing Partner of Blumberg Capital, giving a talk titled “The Israeli Tech Miracle: Origins, Trends & Future Implications,†about the rapidly expanding tech sector in Israel.
Part of the Beverly Hills’ Forum Series, the lecture will take place in the Council Chambers at Beverly Hills City Hall (455 North Rexford Drive in Beverly Hills). Blumberg — who has been investing in early stage technology companies for more than 24 years — will explore the origins, trends and implications of the tech-based driving force of Israel’s current economy.
Israel has always had a highly educated work force, but since the 1900s, the tech sector has grown rapidly to become a world leader on a per capita basis. The origins of this rapid growth include a high national investment in research and development, unique military training of future technology entrepreneurs and close ties with leading American technology giants. The growth bodes well for Israeli economic and national security but uncertainties still lie ahead.
