UK announces first-ever Tech Envoy to Israel as evidence of its effort to work ‘much more closely with Israel on innovation and technology’
LONDON (EJP)---British Prime Minister David Cameron announced the UK’s first-ever Tech Envoy to Israel Tuesday, as part of the close Israeli ally’s efforts to bring world-leading Israeli start-ups to Britain, “and host tech events in both countries; helping UK tech business to compete and thrive in the global race”.
Unveiling the appointment of businessman and former venture capitalist Saul Klein to the unsalaried role as an extension of last year’s established UK-Israel Tech Hub and UK-Israel Tech Council, Cameron revealed: “We want to work much more closely with Israel on innovation and technology, that’s why a year ago we launched the UK-Israel tech hub at our Embassy to link up with UK Israel Business, the Israeli Embassy here in London and countless talented young people in both our countries.”
In an official statement from his office describing Britain as “a natural partner of choice for Israel in technology”, the comment continued to herald the Jewish State as “a global powerhouse of innovation, with more start-ups per head than anywhere else in the world”.
