Hi-tech is on the move

Hi-tech Tel Aviv, watch out. The hi-tech industry seems to be drifting northwards, away from its original concentration in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area.

Back when Israel's civilian science-oriented industries began taking off in the mid-Eighties, they were concentrated in three main geographical areas: Jerusalem, around the Intel complex in the Har Hotzvim industrial area; Rehovot, around the Weizmann Institute of Science - one of the world's major centers of scientific learning; and in the Matam Technological Park in Haifa, in the vicinity of the Technion Israel Institute of Technology.

Dear Friends at Israel Real Estate Blog,
I just visited your very interesting blog and found that you provide extensive information on Israel. The article "Hi-tech on the Move" reminded me of another recent post.
Your readers may be want to view a picture post about "Google and Microsoft Cohabitating on the Beach in Israel": http://www.aims.co.il/blog/2007/11/google-and-microsoft-cohabitating-on.html

I would be interested to hear what you think.

Yours,
