Denmark - Israel

Israel is the OECD country with the highest investment in research and development as a share of the GDP (4.9%) - the majority from the private sector. Israel has some of the world's best research institutions and is internationally recognised for an active start-up environment.

Denmark and Israel focus on business-oriented research cooperation, and Denmark has had a cooperation agreement with Israel since 2007 focusing on research and development in the private sector. The government opened an Innovation Centre in Tel Aviv in 2017. The centre actively seeks to establish long-term strategic collaborative projects and focuses on areas such as cyber security, quantum technology, life science, green technology and student entrepreneurship.

Israel also participates in various international programmes and organisations that could provide a framework for cooperation with Danish partners. This applies to both Horizon Europe, which is the EU's framework programme for research and innovation for the years 2021-27, and EUREKA, which is a network organisation where national research and innovation programmes can be coordinated in joint projects.
