Dan Senor, Opening Night Speaker START-UP NATION: THE STORY OF ISRAEL'S ECONOMIC MIRACLE
How is it that Israel--a country of 7.1 million, only 60 years old, surrounded by enemies, in a constant state of war since its founding, with no natural resources--produces more start-up companies than large, peaceful and stable nations like Japan, China, India, Korea, Canada and the UK? With the savvy of foreign policy insiders, Senor and co-author Singer examine the lessons of the country's adversity-driven culture, which flattens hierarchy and elevates informality--all backed up by government policies focused on innovation. In a world where economies as diverse as Ireland, Singapore and Dubai have tried to re-create the "Israel effect", there are entrepreneurial lessons well worth noting. As America reboots its own economy and can-do spirit, there's never been a better time to look at this remarkable and resilient nation for some impressive, surprising clues.
