Does Israel even need biomed? As it turns out, the biomed industry is rapidly becoming the new hi-tech for Israel. In the first quarter of 2009 alone, twenty five seed and early stage life sciences companies raised $50 million, same as the capital raised in the entire hi-tech industry in the same time period. Israel is rated globally as first in the number of medical device patents per capita, fourth for bio-pharma patents and fourth in investments in biotechnology/GDP.
