Abstract : This study provides a general assessment of the science and technology (ST biotechnology; nanotechnology; "cleantech" or environmental technologies; military technologies; aerospace; and unconventional weapons. The report concludes that the Israeli high-tech cluster is thriving, despite the global implosion of ICT in the early twenty-first century, and notwithstanding Israel's persistent security problems. Israel's high-tech cluster seems to be resilient, in part because of the benefits that the presence of other firms, by definition, bestows on the individual firms within the cluster.
