Globes 2008 Top 100 Businesses: Israel Chemicals At Top (IsraelNN.com) The Globes Top 100 business rankings have been tallied, with Israel Chemicals taking the number one spot in 2008. Africa-Israel dropped from first place in 2007 to eighth in 2008, following the decision by owner Lev Leviev to leave Israel and take up residence in London. Israel Corporation, Israel Chemicals's parent company, rose to second place from seventh. Delek Automotive Systems rose from twenty-first place to third, and Teva Pharmaceuticals rose to seventh place, up from twentieth in 2007. The "Globes" Top 100 ranked the companies that created the most value between January 2000 and March 2008, taking into account share liquidity, company size, professionalism of the management, and predictions on the company's future performance.
| | | Video Highlights Of Israeli Tech (And Health) Posted: 02 Jun 2008 09:06 PM CDT It looks as if Israel 21 st Century has created a video highlighting some of Israel's top start ups emerging out of the country--with some of them having the potential to revolutionize our planet (at least within their respective fields).
Companies featured are: - Oramed (which could bring about oral insulin)
- iMedix (a social network making it easier to find/share health information)
- Millenium Solar (inexpensive efficient solar technology--enough said!)
- Argo-Housing (which could help make houses greener)
- Mobileye (using digital technology to improve road safety)
- ICS Motors (fuel efficient greener motors--that may be cheaper than current models)
- Nanomaterials (producing strong material at the molecular level)
- C-True Imaging (uses your face as a secure login)
More companies can be seen over here. |
| Another Free Trade Agreement? (Israel And South America) Posted: 19 Dec 2007 11:22 PM CST After seeking out Free Trade Agreements with India and Ukraine, Israel is setting its sights half a world away towards South America. (Ha'aretz) Mercosur, the South American trade bloc, signed a free-trade agreement with Israel on Tuesday, its first pact with a country outside of Latin America. [...]
"This agreement is an enormous satisfaction that will help develop our links to the Mercosur countries," a statement from the Israeli Embassy in Argentina said. Trade between Israel and Mercosur countries neared $1.6 billion in 2006. Mercosur is comprised of full members Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, with Venezuela awaiting approval to join the trade group.
Israel already has free trade agreements with the United States, so this latest edition will hopefully position the Jewish state as "the middle man" between Mercosur and the US (who have yet to sign anything with each other).
This will also open up Israeli businesses to a "whole new market," which probably will benefit both regions over time.
