Outstanding Issues

The peculiarities of the Israeli innovation system stem to a large degree from the environment surrounding and the forces shaping Jewish immigration to Palestine during the first decade of the century. Specifically, the tradition of Jewish scholarship, the determination to create a modern state, and the Zionist ideology were driving forces that created functioning, institutionalized bases for modern scientific research, technological development, and the training of new generations of scientists. Both the Hebrew University and the Technion of Haifa were established almost a quarter of a century before the creation of the State in 1948. (The Weizmann Institute began operations in 1934.) So did the appearance of significant applied research in agriculture and in medicine, as well as the beginnings of industrial research.
