'Silicon Wadi' a Pun that Rings True with Accomplishments
From Wikipedia: Silicon Wadi (Hebrew: סיליקון ואדי, lit: "Silicon Valley") is an area with a high concentration of high-tech industries on the coastal plain of Israel, similar to 'Silicon Valley' in the U.S. state of California.
To say there's been a high-tech, entrepreneurial boom in Israel is to minimize the monumental technological strides Israel has and continues to make. From medical devices to augmented reality to clean tech, Israel is at the forefront of action and innovation. A report for last year tells how Israeli Startups sold for 10.02 Billion in 2016. This is no small feat for a country with under 8.5 million people and a geographic area smaller than New Jersey.
