Explore the "country of innovation"

-The Valley of Israel, one of the "CCG Think Tank Series" series, comprehensively interprets how Israel has become an innovative power.

"Entrepreneurial country"-Israel has chosen a road of rejuvenating the country through science and technology due to the lack of natural resources and the hostile attitude of neighboring countries, and has occupied a leading market position in important high-tech fields (such as military equipment, communication and information systems, biotechnology, environmental science, etc.). On the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, only 8 million Israelis contributed 147 listed companies, second only to the United States, Canada and China.

The term "Israel Valley" is the concentration of Israel's innovative connotation. Paying attention to the outstanding achievements of the Israeli Valley in the fields of economy, science and technology and the reasons for its prosperity will undoubtedly provide enlightenment and thinking for the future development of China. In addition, for China enterprises, how to find a mutually beneficial and sustainable business model in Israel, improve the technical level of the industry and the production efficiency of enterprises, and accelerate the construction of an innovative country? Israel Valley is also a good "teaching material".

At the invitation of Mr. Gu and Dr. Wang, the authors of this book, I make this recommendation. We are good friends. In 20 13, Yao Hui and I went to Israel for a field trip and were warmly received by Mr. Edward. Why should we pay attention to Israel, which is far away in the Mediterranean and full of crises? The reason can be seen from several figures:

The population accounts for only 0.2% of the global population, but there are 162 Nobel Prize winners, accounting for 20% of the total number of Nobel Prizes. The contribution rate of science and technology to GDP is as high as over 90%; There are 140 technicians or engineers per 10,000 employees; On average, one in every 1844 Israelis is an entrepreneur; The number of Israeli companies listed on Nasdaq exceeds the sum of all European companies. Israel has attracted about $2 billion in venture capital, and its per capita venture capital is 2.5 times that of the United States, 30 times that of Europe, 80 times that of China and 350 times that of India, ranking first in the world.

How did a tiny place create so many miracles in the 66 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China? Today, with the development of global integration, it is worthy of China's profound study and reference. Like Rain in Time, this book was translated into Chinese under the introduction of Dr. Wang, and met with domestic readers, which explained the secret of Israeli innovation and entrepreneurship for us.

We learn not only from Israel's successful methodology, but also from Israel's innovative and entrepreneurial spirit and concept. I think there are three aspects:

First, think rationally. One of the reasons why Israel is so strong is that they pay equal attention to rational thinking and emotional thinking, and they are balanced. There are only120 thousand Jews in the world, but they account for 27% of the Nobel Prize in physics and 3 1% of the Nobel Prize in medicine, which is absolutely asymmetrical compared with the population of Israel. Therefore, their rationality is very significant. On the other hand, quite a few of the most famous classical musicians in the world today are Jews. 1948, Israel regained Jerusalem. 1967, a concerto was played on the hill east of Jerusalem that night, composed by Jews and played by Jews, all of whom were world-class artists. Jews pay equal attention to sensibility and rationality, and the two complement each other and have basically collided, which is one of the basic reasons why Israelis are strong.

In contrast, China is a more emotional nation, and our language and art are more emotional, which is worth preserving and being proud of. However, our cultural tradition ignores the training of rational thinking. Is where we should learn from Israel.

Second, break common sense. In the process of innovation and development, breaking the conventional framework is the first step towards innovation. The Israeli nation is very good at this. Israelis are full of yearning for scientific and technological innovation, and at the same time have high tolerance for the failure of innovation and entrepreneurship. This has a lot to do with their cultural and religious background. There is no reason not to read the Bible. Israeli culture is full of spiritual elements of self-confidence, courage and constant challenge, and there is no "impossible" default and fatalism. Israelis are good at breaking common sense in all fields and combining them to create new technologies.

This way of thinking is rare in China. Our science is often isolated from each other, which restricts its own development. Throughout the ages, the traditional thought of "face" has made us have a fear of failure. It indirectly forms a stumbling block to the business development of entrepreneurs, and venture capitalists will hesitate. Therefore, it is another task for us to stimulate the innovation and entrepreneurial enthusiasm of China entrepreneurs.

Third, estimate the future. Humans basically don't have much ability to meet the future. But this book summarizes the elements of Israel's success. How can we predict the future more accurately? I think the most important thing is the world outlook. A person's world outlook includes the past and the present. The world outlook consists of four things: first, to read history, history is not only a fact, but also how to understand and interpret it; The second is to grasp the status quo, and it is impossible to predict the future without understanding the status quo; Third, there should be no ideological shackles, which are easy to make mistakes; The fourth is the interpretation of human nature, which is not all rational but also irrational.

Fundamentally speaking, Israel's worldview can be summarized as the concept of starting from scratch, starting from scratch, being prepared for danger in times of peace, and turning crisis into opportunity. They are not bound by ideology. Now, Israel has become the second Silicon Valley in the world, and many high-tech energy technologies, agricultural technologies, water sciences and life sciences are at the leading level in the world. China still needs continuous learning and experience in this respect.

Finally, I want to say that the entrepreneurial spirit in Israel is not just the above three points. I sincerely thank this book for its explanation and interpretation of the secret of Israel's success, which has become our help and reference in innovation and entrepreneurship.

For most China people, Israel is both familiar and unfamiliar. It is a country with a long history and deep roots with three major religious civilizations; This is a country that has survived through hardships in the political cracks in the Middle East. It is a country well known for its geopolitics, but it seems to have little to do with China because of its remote location.

However, Israel has another nickname: "the country of entrepreneurship". Due to the lack of natural resources and the hostile attitude of neighboring countries, Israel has chosen a road of rejuvenating the country through science and technology, and has occupied a leading market position in important high-tech fields (such as military equipment, communication and information systems, biotechnology, environmental science, etc.). On the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, which is famous for attracting technology enterprises, only 8 million Israelis contributed 147 listed companies, second only to the number of listed companies from the United States, Canada and China. It is precisely because of Israel's outstanding performance in scientific and technological innovation and commercial transformation that this country has attracted a lot of capital investment from all over the world.

I visited Israel for the first time on March 20 13, and I was deeply surprised and admired for its successful development of a thriving high-tech economy in the face of adversity. We visited more than 20 innovative enterprises in just a few days and conducted in-depth discussions. Some of these enterprises are unique in the early detection equipment of breast cancer, and their products effectively improve the applicability and accuracy of the existing mainstream detection methods for specific groups; Some have achieved commercial success through world-leading gene analysis and intervention technology, and at the same time accurately improved crop diversity and ability to resist adverse environment; Some have innovated missile tracking and data analysis technology in the military field and developed first-class car-assisted driving systems. And these are just the epitome of tens of thousands of technology-based enterprises in Israel. Although these enterprises have different foothold fields and different stages and paths of development, they generally show high sensitivity to market opportunities and strong concern about the combination of technological advantages and commercial applications. The enthusiasm and tenacity of science and technology founders and managers of these enterprises for entrepreneurship is even more infectious.

At that time, the government of China had already reflected on the economic model that created rapid growth but relied too much on labor dividends, and put forward its own strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and technology, hoping to improve the scientific and technological level of industries and the production efficiency of enterprises through the adjustment of economic structure, so as to accelerate the construction of an innovative country. In the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" of the country, it is clearly proposed to enhance the core competitiveness of manufacturing industry, develop strategic emerging industries, and vigorously develop resource-saving circular economy, which obviously coincides with Israel's advantageous industries. For this reason, in addition to learning from the successful factors of Israeli government, enterprises and entrepreneurs, it is even more necessary for us to study the prospects of China-Israel investment cooperation, find a mutually beneficial and sustainable model in business, and inject high-tech assistance into China's medium and long-term industrial restructuring.

I talked with Professor Eugene kandel, Chairman of the Israeli National Economic Council and Chief Economic Adviser to Prime Minister Netanyahu. I found that how to promote mutual understanding between China and Israel and promote cooperation between enterprises of the two countries is exactly what he is very concerned about. We all realize that the market between China and Israel is surprisingly complementary: China has a vast territory, diverse resources, a large population and a huge market; Israel, on the other hand, is mainly rich in science and technology and talents, with an extremely open and relaxed investment environment, and enterprises are good at international operation and cooperation. In the past few years, China has become an important Israeli trade target and strategic investment market; China enterprises also actively seek equity cooperation from previous technical cooperation with Israeli enterprises, and Sinochem's acquisition of MakhteshimAgan is a typical example. Therefore, China and Israel are not unrelated. On the contrary, we have reason to believe that the exchanges and cooperation between the two countries will become closer and closer.

Subsequent development is confirming our interpretation. After I left Israel, Alibaba, Guangming Group and other well-known China enterprise groups successively completed major acquisitions in Israel; Tsinghua University and Tel Aviv University jointly established a technology transformation center named "New" in Israel; China Everbright Holdings Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Everbright Holdings") also took the lead in setting up a private equity fund specifically for the Israeli science and technology field among state-owned investment institutions, and demonstrated our concept with practical investment actions.

The author of this book, Mr. Wen, is a senior private investor in Israel and a close investment partner of Israel Everbright Holdings. Although the focus of this book is to analyze the talents and social factors of Israel's scientific and technological innovation and prosperity, Mr. Gu's rich practice in the investment field makes this book have both rigorous data and informative cases. We pay close attention to the outstanding achievements of the "Israel Valley" in the economic and scientific fields, and pay more attention to the reasons for its prosperity, because the experience in it is undoubtedly enlightening for the future development of China, and it is worth pondering by all parties concerned. I hereby recommend this book by Mr. Gu to you, and I believe readers in China can also benefit from it.
