Top Google manager called the secret of success of the Israelis

Eric Schmidt, the head of Google’s board of directors, proposed his own version of why Israeli high-tech and Israeli entrepreneurship are generally successful and competitive.

Schmidt believes that the reason for this is the culture of entrepreneurship in the country and the unwillingness of the Israelis to strictly follow the rules.

“In terms of entrepreneurship, Israel is on the rise because you are not afraid to challenge authority and question its actions. You don’t follow the rules,” Eric Schmidt said at a meeting with students at the Weizmann Institute.

A member of the Science and Technology Council under the President of the United States, Barack Obama, a member of the National Academy of Engineering, the Academy of Arts and Sciences of the USA, and the head of the New America Foundation, Schmidt actively invests in the economy of Israel. Israel has a huge impact on world science and technology development - this is how Schmidt explained his interest in this investment.
