The World On arirang

Israel is gaining attention as a start-up powerhouse. Thanks to the active support of the government and development of the high-tech industry, many start-ups were born in Israel, which is now being called the “Silicon Valley of the Middle East.” As a result, Israel ranks first in the world in the number of IT start-ups per capita and 3rd in the world in the number of companies listed on NASDAQ. Korean companies are also interested in Israeli start-ups and investing in them. In this regard, the Ambassador of Israel to Korea Akiva Tor said Korea’s manufacturing sector and Israel’s start-ups can create a synergy effect. “Hello to the New Government” is Diplomat Talks’ multi-episode special that began with the launch of Korea’s new government. As 2022 marks the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations and the launch of Korea’s new government, this episode will discuss which areas the two sides can cooperate further in, as well as various events the Israli Embassy has planned to celebrate the 60th anniversary.
