Technion, Israel Institute of Technology was established in 1912 (before Israel became an independent nation). A small university, but Technion had three Nobel Prize winners, and 4 other Nobel laureates have been associated with it. Technion has created a world-class high-tech industry through its graduates. One of every 4 graduates of Technion start their own business.

Strategy for government intervention (Socialist Republic of Vietnam)

US software companies dominate the world market, in part because of the large investments of the defense industry in universities and infrastructure. Internet was born from the US Department of Defense's ARPANET at UCLA. Israeli investment boom began when the government established Yozma, specialized state venture capital for technology.

In today’s globalized world

(“buy/sell anything, anywhere, to anyone, any time”)

what is “Socialism?”

Make entrepreneurship viral

In Israel in 1981, Zisapel brothers founded RAD Data Communications. Chairman Yehuda Zisapel initiated a model that engineers, who left RAD to open their own company, receive advice and financial support from RAD. The result was that 128 companies were born, forming a combined 15,000 employee cluster with billions of dollars in exports for Israel.

RAD Group Today: $1.4 b. Revenues 3,500 workers

No holding company. Each company in the group operates independently, under a “common strategic umbrella”.

RAD is very big… but ‘feels very small’.

Whenever a market opportunity is identified, a new business is created. This occurred 128 times!

Doing business with neighboring countries

Vietnam should pursue a strategy like Singapore. When Common Market for East Asia (AEC) gets launched in 2015 Vietnamese companies may have great business opportunities in the region, or may lose positions even at home country, depending their competitiveness. Vietnam has Opportunities in the EU, as your Prime Minister has recognized.

Geopolitics is crucial – make friends to build your markets. Be relevant. Be constructive.

Quality and effectiveness of foreign investment are important Few poor countries can meet their own needs of finance. Attracting external investment is necessary. However type of investment is no less important. Woo the FDI / foreign investorVietnam should pay attention to the quality and effectiveness of FDI projects to improve its competitiveness. Do not just look at GDP, or depend on factors such as availability of cheap labor, land, natural resources and conditions... Israel: $76 b. in FDI, 4% of GDP in 2013

Maximize value-added, leaning toward innovation and high technology

Israel has become one of the leading countries in high technology products with more market dominance, especially in information technology, defense industry. Proximity to the market is a major advantage of producing goods. Vietnam needs to maximize business opportunities and value added in the domestic market. It is not acceptable for Vietnam to lose competitiveness especially in agriculture and tourism. However, it is even more important to bring high technology (such as biotechnology, information technology) to production and business activities, together with the local advantages.
