	Science and technology in Israel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Israeli contributions to science and technology have been significant, even strangely out of proportion for a country of roughly six million with continuous security challenges.
		Since the establishment of the State of Israel, Israel has pioneered work in science and engineering, compensating a small national budget with creativity and imagination.
		Moreover, Israel is among the small group of nations in the world that have the capability to launch satellites into orbit (the others include the USA, Russia, Europe mainly through the common European space agency ESA, the People's Republic of China, Japan, and India).

	Prof. Gerald Steinberg (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Given the centrality of science and technology, the evolution of political and economic conditions and institutions have necessarily been accompanied by, and in many cases, directly involved changes in the role of science, and in the interaction between science and the state.
		Science and technology are also considered to be crucial in the area of immigrant absorption, on the one hand, and emigration, on the other.
		The importance of technology in maintaining the military balance, and the contribution of this factor to the close convergence between the state and the scientific community is still prominent in the perceptions of both the political and scientific elite.

	FOCUS on ISRAEL (Science & Technology)
		srael is a small country in a world of big science and technology and, like many other small countries, it has sharply defined policies towards scientific and technological activities in order to enhance its competitiveness.
		Israel aims to maintain a minimal international level of quality achievement across the broad spectrum of scientific fields, while encouraging the establishment of centers of excellence around outstanding scientists and in areas of vital concern to the development of the industrial sector.
		In technology, Israel strives for high performance mainly through specialization, concentrating national efforts on a limited number of areas and organizations.

	Remarks by Ambassador Daniel Kurtzer - U.S.-Israel Science and Technology Commission
		I don't know much about technology, but I do know that the brain- power, the innovativeness, the drive and the energy that each of you, American and Israeli, brings to this enterprise is really the engine of growth of a continued strong relationship between our two countries.
		Israel needs to do more to exploit human brainpower and to make the biotechnology cluster idea work.
		Whenever we see American visitors these days it is a cause for a certain amount of joy and our hope, of course, is that we continue through the auspices of the U.S.-Israel Science and Technology Commission, to build an even stronger relationship of science, technology, and goodwill between our two countries and our two peoples.
