It is during the compulsory military service that the elites of Israeli high tech are formed. Young conscripts are assigned according to their test results in specialized units.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nAt the end of their service, most begin higher education.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \n40% of male students and 13% of female undergraduates study in a high-tech stream.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nLa D\u00e9fense, with 6 to 8% of GDP, is thus a melting pot of technical excellence in Tech and also provides it with substantial outlets. It drains the country&#8217;s entire innovation ecosystem and is undoubtedly the country&#8217;s leading employer and exporter in the secondary sector (industry).\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nDespite good macroeconomic results, structural inequalities persist.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nIsrael is posting sustained growth of +6.3% in 2022, largely due to tech. This sector employs 10.4% of the workforce for 15.3% of GDP and 54% of exports. However, these successes accentuate significant ethnic, social, geographical and even gender inequalities where feminization does not exceed 13%.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nThe proportion of Arab employees in tech varies from 1.8 to 3.6%, for 20% of the population.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nAs tech is concentrated in Tel Aviv, geographic and cultural barriers hinder the integration of Arabs.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nConsequence of a lifestyle choice, the ultra-Orthodox, i.e. 13% of the population and 3% employed in this sector, are very little integrated into the ecosystem, pulling up the country&#8217;s employment rate, which stagnates at 65. %. The cost of living in Tel Aviv further accentuates the disparities.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nAccording to the OECD, tech pays wages 2.5 times higher than the national average. Another factor of inequality, Israeli citizens benefit little from the fruits of innovation like the vast majority of \u201cnon-tech\u201d companies.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nIsraeli tech sells to the whole world but little in his country which is not for socio-economic and the country&#8217;s poverty rate is close to 20% and is not falling.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nThe gaps in public investment are considerable. Despite the dynamism of climate-tech companies, Israel is making slow progress in the fight to protect the environment.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nPlastic pollution is not going away. The waste recycling system is archaic, the first incinerator has just been put into service.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nThe legendary efficiency of irrigation and water use hides low-carbon energy production. Coal provides 25% of electricity production.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nThe Israeli ecological transition is slipping, the objective of 30% energy from renewable sources by 2030 seems unattainable, perhaps because natural gas ensures sustainable energy autonomy.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nIsrael also lags behind in terms of network infrastructure. The need to invest 2% of Israeli GDP in transport each year until 2040 is recognized by economists.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nBetween 2012 and 2022, the investment effort was 1 point of GDP and what is planned represents only 1.4 points of GDP for the next 10 years.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nThis progress does not prevent Israel from already being the most congested country in the OECD. It would thus be necessary to increase the share of public transport from the current 10-20% to 40%. However, the need for coordination and the scale of the investments, more than \u20ac250 billion over 18 years, cast doubt on the ability to manage such large projects.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nSource : Embassy of France in Israel\n\n    \n  \n\n","author":15,"featured_media":28997,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[5751,5797,5803,5840],"location":[5647],"class_list":["post-41606","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-economy","tag-education","tag-export","tag-technology","location-israel-2"],"short_url":"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3Zj6qNA","have_related_news":"done","chapo":"Main strength of the country, the technological success of Israel owes a lot to the army.
