IVA - Technology Innovation as a Magnet for Venture Investments
From Jaffa to Java

"Israel is a country that is hard-wired to compete in a flat world. It has a
population drawn from 100 different countries, speaking 100 different
languages, with a business culture that strongly encourages individual
imagination and adaptation and where being a nonconformist is the
norm. While you were sleeping, Israel has gone from oranges to
software, or as they say around here, from Jaffa to Java.”
