During the week of July 13, 2008, SAP announced its plans to open an R&D center in Israel, following in the footsteps of corporations such as Microsoft, IBM and Intel. Microsoft’s purchase of data management company, Zoomix was officially announced and Magic Software signed a deal with Blat-Lapidot, a leading Salesforce.com Partner. Shopflick raised $7 million in funding while it was announced that Israeli startups, combined, raised over $1 billion in the first half of 2008 (the highest since 2001).

12 Israel-related technology headlines from the week of June 8, 2008
Filed under: Cleantech, Company Briefs, Environment, Information Technology, Internet Security, Web2.0
Compared to previous weeks, the week of June 8th was lacking a little in the major headlines coming from Israel. Perhaps the biggest story from the past week was Intel’s announcement that it will be closing its Yokne’am R&D center as part of its overall refocus. Most employees will be relocated to the company’s Haifa center instead. Also, recent headlines on the Internet show much skepticism of a mass-produced, main stream electric car in the near future, indirectly (and directly) giving a blow to Project Better Place. Other headlines included Metacafe’s downsizing, Continuity Software offering new features in its disaster recovery and data protection software and 800 members of Israel’s hi-tech community (including yours truly) coming together at Mashable’s MashBash Tel Aviv. Alas, check out these stories and the rest of this week’s 12 Israel-related technology headlines through the links below:
