This case study of Israel's ICT sector highlights the important role of the government in the emergence of Israel as a power house of high-tech in information and communications technology, by laying the foundations for private industry to support innovation, and through heavy investment in building the much-needed human capital resource. The main strategic asset is human resources. The quality of human capital is essential to innovation and economic growth.
