Could This Augur Israel's Innovation Drought

These two slides should scare the $%^&* out of the Israeli Government, Chief Scientist, Entreprenuers, VCs and Economists.

Israel must invest in innovation in order to come out strong on the other side of this financial crisis. Israel is well position to do that but without continued investment in research, innovation and tech infrastructure, it will not happen. If early stage funding dries up, there will not be late stage opportunities in the future. It could be that this is merely a rightsizing of the Israeli VC industry (which is probably needed) but to me that first graph looks like a cliff, not a diet.

When are the slides from? Hard to interpret a YTD at the end of a year-by-year graph.

Also, from other info that Dow Jones has out, the same graph applies worldwide. I'm not sure if that's better or worse, but it's not just here.

Michael .... $%^&* indeed. But are you part of the solution, or part of the problem?
