Blast Off to startups in UAE and Israel: Concord for both the countries will be prodigious for the Startups
Problems are everywhere but nagging the venture capitalist will never create an own strategy for the development of the business environment in the UAE & Israel. But recently, leveraging relationships beyond the two countries’ borders results in economic vitality, especially in the business sector, with startups’ efficient involvement.
New framework conditions urged by Dubai and Abu Dhabi created UAE with a better business economy for startups. Due to the changes in the diplomacy policies, there was chipping away from the UAE’s business environment, establishing more than one-third of startups from the Middle East and North Africa with potent growth in the technology sector.
According to Israel’s economy ministry, it reveals that more than 40 percent of the country’s export comes from the high-tech sector stating with an example of an industry that has the nickname startup nation.
Yesterday on Saudi-based Arab News, an entrepreneur stated that “The new partnership makes a compelling and cogent case. UAE has the financial capital above what can be put to effective use within the country, so we have sovereign wealth funds. Israel is advantageous in terms of human capital and ingenuity from all around the world. It’s a perfect fit” he added.

In August, after one month of a diplomatic step forward, a startup CEO of National Central, Mr. Eugene Kandel, reveals Israeli technology sales in Dubai. The startup also tries to bridge the gap between the Israeli government, businesses, and organizations for more usage of Israeli technology companies.
