Law & Business
Israel is an international hub for corporate and business activity. Corporate giants from the U.S., Europe, and Asia constantly seek opportunities in Israel from buying companies to opening research centers. For example, Israel’s MobilEye was recently acquired by Intel for $15 Billion. Venture capital and private equity companies follow suit and aim for Israel’s earlier stage companies. At the same time that foreigners invest in Israel, Israeli companies look outward to raise capital and seek larger product markets. Israel has the second largest number of companies quoted on the NASDAQ, with 93 such companies (and counting!). Many Israeli companies, cross-list in Israel and abroad, and the Israeli Securities Law is highly innovative in this regard. Finally, some Israeli companies play a major role in international transactions. To say the least, Israel today is an exciting place to study business law.
