The Knitting Nook
Israel High-Tech
Here To Stay
BY YITZCHAK DINUR.
Jerusalem— An indepen-
dently developed, fist-sized
deep-freeze unit weighing
slightly more than one kilogram
and operating on a mere 20
watts of electricity has, since
1982, become the export hit of
the Israeli Reekor Company be-
longing to Kibbutz Ein Harod.
This small firm is an example of
the kind of company which
keeps Israel's technology con-
stantly moving ahead.
The economic situation in Is-
rael may be shaky, but the
country's technological structure
is sound. Its technological suc-
cess stems from the combination
of a stream of innovative prod-
ucts and encouragement of
high-tech industry by govern-
ment and universities, almost
all of which have established
science-based industries cam-
puses and industrial liaison
companies.
The products themselves arise
from breakthroughs achieved by
Israel's highly educated work-
force who receive relatively low
wages compared with the
United States. A not-yet-eroded
tradition of low work mobility
simplifies management of long-
range development programs.
While the lower level person-
nel have been trained -in good
vocational high schools, the
engineers and industrial scien-
tists have graduated from in-
stitutions such as the Technion
in Haifa, the Hebrew University
of Jerusalem and the Univer-
sities of Tel Aviv and
Beersheva.
But Israel's very success
seems to have outstripped its
manpower resources: Israel now
lacks 2,000 engineers, and the
universities are finding it dif-
ficult to expand their facilities
in this area fast enough. Efforts
to attract home some of the
many Israeli engineers abroad
have been only moderately suc-
cessful.
Israeli ingenuity and educa-
tion have produced technology
as good as any in the world,
from solar pools to tiny com-
puter components. This capacity
for turning good ideas into good
technology and sophisticated
products is a warranty for Is-
rael's future well-being.
