Executive summary COMPOSE aims to bring about a new era in services based on the Internet of Things (IoT), making it simple to integrate the physical with the virtual world. COMPOSE achieves this through the provisioning of an open and scalable marketplace infrastructure, in which Smart Objects are associated to applications that can be combined, managed, and integrated to easily and quickly build innovative applications. The project has developed novel approaches for virtualising Smart Objects into readily usable Service Objects that can be advertised, searched for, and combined with other Service Objects to form novel applications. To this end the project devised solutions for semantically enhancing smart objects and applications, secure and privacy-preserving data aggregation and distribution, dynamic service composition, advertising, discovering, provisioning, and monitoring. COMPOSE aims to facilitate a new business ecosystem targeted mainly towards SMEs, by democratizing the use of smart objects via an open cloud based platform.

  • EMEA Headquarters in Paris, France
    1 The following document has been adapted from an IBM intranet resource developed by Grace Scotte, a senior information broker in the communications organization at IBM’s EMEA headquarters in Paris, France. Some Key Dates in IBM's Operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) Introduction The years in the following table denote the start up of IBM operations in many of the EMEA countries. In some cases -- Spain and the United Kingdom, for example -- IBM products were offered by overseas agents and distributors earlier than the year listed. In the case of Germany, the beginning of official operations predates by one year those of the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company, which was formed in 1911 and renamed International Business Machines Corporation in 1924.

This represents the beginning of an ongoing database compilation of target firms both in the Middle East region and around the world that have demonstrated a foreign investment interest and whose sectoral activities fit the comparative advantages of the West Bank and Gaza. This activity was carried out from April to June 2002, during an especially unstable political time in the West Bank and Gaza. Because of this exceedingly difficult situation two elements of the initial scope of work could not be accomplished; training of Palestinians at TSG headquarters and a comprehensive telephone survey of prospective investors.

  • Multinational R&D at the Heart of the Startup Nation Conference
    Israel Advanced Technology Industries & Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor’s Multinational R&D at the Heart of the Startup Nation Conference A unique look at the Global R&D and acquisitions in Israel Thursday March 29 2012 As the world market becomes increasingly knowledge-driven, Israel’s thriving entrepreneurial and innovative spirit has been instrumental in creating a wealth of smart solutions and some of the world’s most significant technological breakthroughs. Such creativity has helped turn Israel into a highly profitable and attractive destination for foreign investment, where industries from a variety of disciplines are integrated successfully, and form pioneer synergies. It is this energetic, creative atmosphere that is continuing to attract growing international attention. The world’s leading multinational corporations have chosen to establish R&D and production centers in the country, with over 250 foreign commercial R&D centers currently in Israel, helping industry leaders stay on the cutting edge. Israel’s appeal as a destination for investors is based on a variety of factors. Such elements include government and industry encouragement of innovation, high levels of education within the population, and a melting-pot, immigrant culture that prizes cultural diversity and risk-taking over an emphasis on the tried and true. Together with its push to the future, Israel has maintained a strong, stable economy, upon which multinational companies have come to rely. Successful partnerships with such companies have, in turn, helped to further improve the country’s economic outlook. International investment in Israel has resulted in a win-win situation for both foreign companies and the State of Israel, a partnership that continues to bring growing levels of creative enrichment and success in fields such as Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) and medical devices, to name just two.
