Israel is a country of start-ups and high-tech. Israel does not have rich natural resources, there is no heavy industry, no fertile land, for almost 70 years the state has to be at war.

The sphere of high technologies is one of the economic powerhouses of Israel: just during the last year Israelis exported goods and services worth $ 37.5 billion. And this figure continues to grow. I think the demand would not be so high if Israeli technologies were low-quality.

Except that the sphere of IT brings billions to the Israeli treasury, it also provides jobs for Israelis. But despite the fact that the Israeli government invests millions in the development of the sphere of high-tech, industry is in need of the labor force - there are only 8.5 million inhabitants in Israel. For this reason, Israelis often invite specialists from Ukraine: Ukrainians work mainly remotely.

Several days ago, an Israeli company SimilarWeb, which is one of the leading enterprises of the Israeli sphere of high-tech, opened its own development center in Ukraine. The company specializes in web analytics, its 8 offices operate in different countries of the world. The total investment amount of SimilarWeb is $ 65 million. Among the company's clients are such the Internet giants as Google, eBay, Nike.

I often hear: “How can Israel be useful for Ukraine is understandable. And what interesting could be in Ukraine for such a successful and stable country like Israel?” I always emphasize that we have not only a common history, but also the general scope of activity and common interests. The most important wealth of any country is its people. Ukraine has excellent specialists of the highest level in different branches, otherwise they would not be invited to international corporations, new offices and representative offices would not be opened in Ukraine. The opening of a branch of the Israeli company talks about the gradual stabilization of the situation, because the business does not come to the place where it is insecurely. Let us learn to appreciate what we already have and increase what we already can do. Then we do not have to look for the better land and a better life.
