Developed by the country’s defense industries - and utilized by defense and security forces around the globe- these ground-breaking systems are backed by a combination of cutting- edge technologies, a skilled and militarily experienced multi-disciplinary workforce, and a well-developed infrastructure. Together, they ensure Israel’s national security - and support its worldwide customer base. Israel’s defense industry - which plays a leading role in the development of the country’s industrial and technological capabilities - is open to cooperation, technology transfer, and the sharing of know-how through international initiatives. Situated at the crossroads of Israel’s defense sector, SIBAT is an essential division within the Israel Ministry of Defense (IMoD), while at the same time, enjoying a close relationship with Israel’s defense industry. This unique position enables an in-depth understanding of defense concepts and the operational needs of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) - as well as comprehensive knowledge regarding industry solutions, which are developed in response to the IDF’s requirements and based on its experience. SIBAT is your source for detailed information about this versatile, dynamic industry.

SIBAT has become a unique source of information, as well as a meeting point, not only for established manufacturers, but for Israel’s flourishing SME community as well - appreciated for its nurturing of innovative startups as well as its matching of mid-sized and large firms with global partners. n SIBAT also manages the marketing and sale of Israel’s entire defense Inventory, which is released by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Israel Ministry of Defense (IMoD).

Many of the sources posed problems concerning numerical data on immi­ gration, especially for the months leading up to the end of the British Mandate, January-April 1948, and the first few months of the state, May­ August 1948. The researchers point out that 7,574 immigrant data cards are missing from the records and believe this to be due to the 'circumstances of the times'. Records are complete from September 1948 onward, and an important population census was held in November 1948. A parallel record­ ing system conducted by the Jewish Agency, which continued to operate after that of the Mandatory Government, provided us with statistical data for immigration during 1948-9 and made it possible to analyse the part taken by the Holocaust survivors.

  • Tel Aviv Startup City
    TEL AVI V STARTUP CITY in numbers | 2015 extended edition Tel Aviv Startup City WELCOME TO TEL AVIV The Israeli hi-tech industry is renowned both within the country and abroad. The thriving industry serves as an engine for economic growth and helps to position the country as a rich source of knowledge and human capital. Technology companies are increasingly integrated into almost every aspect of daily life, as our reality becomes increasingly digital and virtual. It is therefore necessary to understand the hi-tech world, including its trends and characteristics. The data compiled here is centered on hi-tech companies in Tel Aviv and presents a snapshot of Tel Aviv's technology ecosystem. A geographic comparison of the hi-tech companies allows for an analysis of the unique characteristics of Tel Aviv's ecosystem as opposed to Greater Tel Aviv and the rest of Israel. In each of these regions we present further comparisons according to the activity sector and the stage of the hi-tech companies, with a focus on startups. The data complied here, when compared to previous data, enables an understanding of the development of the industry. The data is the property of the IVC database; editing and analysis was carried out by the Center for Economic and Social Research of the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality. Dr. Etel Friedman, Director of Center for Economic & Social Research Tel Aviv–Yafo Municipality Tel Aviv has evolved into one of the world's leading hubs for technology and innovation.

  • Sociographie De La Doxa Coloniale Israélienne
    Université de Montréal Se représenter dominant et victime : sociographie de la doxa coloniale israélienne par Michaël Séguin Département de sociologie Faculté des arts et sciences Thèse présentée en vue de l’obtention du grade de Philosophiae Doctor (Ph.D.) en sociologie Août 2018 © Michaël Séguin, 2018 Université de Montréal Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales Cette thèse intitulée : Se représenter dominant et victime : sociographie de la doxa coloniale israélienne Présentée par : Michaël Séguin a été évaluée par un jury composé des personnes suivantes : Deena White, présidente-rapporteuse et représentante du doyen Paul Sabourin, directeur de recherche Yakov Rabkin, codirecteur de recherche Barbara Thériault, membre du jury Rachad Antonius, examinateur externe Résumé Dans un monde majoritairement postcolonial, Israël fait figure d’exception alors même que se perpétue sa domination d’un autre peuple, les Arabes palestiniens. Tandis qu’un nombre grandissant d’auteurs, y compris juifs, traitent de la question israélo-palestinienne comme d’un colonialisme de peuplement, et non plus comme d’un conflit ethnique entre groupes nationaux, se pose la question : comment une telle domination est-elle possible à l’ère des médias de masse ? Plus précisément, pourquoi cette domination est-elle si peu contestée de l’intérieur de la société israélienne alors même qu’elle contredit le discours public de l’État qui tente, par tous les moyens, de se faire accepter comme étant démocratique et éclairé ? Pour y répondre, cette thèse procède à une analyse de la connaissance de sens commun israélienne afin de détecter à la fois le mode de connaissance, issu des relations sociales, privilégié pour faire sens des rapports ethnonationaux, mais aussi la manière dont cette doxa vient légitimer la domination des Palestiniens.
