40 Years of Contribution to Israel’s
Economy and Growth
As a leading Israeli exporter over the last
40 years, Intel Israel has exported products
valued at $35 billion. During this time,
the company invested $10.8 billion in its
manufacturing, research and development
centers, representing a NIS 40 billion
investment in Israel over the course of 40
years. Our average annual expenditure on
purchases from local suppliers over the
last ten years is $1 billion. Currently, we
are collaborating with approximately one
thousand small-to-medium local businesses,
and our Kiryat Gat facility works with as many
suppliers from southern Israel as possible.
From an employment aspect, as of the end
of 2013, Intel Israel employed 9,855 people
directly and 30,000 indirectly, up 15% from
previous years. Of our Kiryat Gat employees,
60% live in southern Israel. Our impact on
Israeli employment is also reflected in the
numerous companies that have sprouted from
Intel. Since 2006, former Intel employees
have established an average of 30 companies
every year, which annually generate 250
new jobs. I am confident that Intel’s spirit,
corporate culture, desire for excellence and
work processes have carried over to these new
companies and helped them succeed.
40 Years of Investing in Human Capital
and the Next Generation
Since its establishment, Intel Israel has been
investing in human capital and education.
Over the past 40 years, approximately
half a million Israeli teachers and students
have participated in a range of educational
programs promoted by Intel.
In 2013, Intel Israel joined the Ministry of
Education’s national goal and launched
“We are the Future”, an umbrella educational
program aimed at promoting excellence in
scientific-technological education in Israel.
Since the future of the high-tech industry is
at stake, we decided to mobilize additional
organizations and co-lead a national initiative
promoting excellence in STEM education with
the Trump Foundation, RASHI Foundation
and SanDisk. The national initiative, which
encompasses a network of approximately
100 public, business and third sector
organizations, seeks to double the number
of students who graduate from high school
with a five-point STEM matriculation diploma.
The organizations behind the initiative strive
to make Israel a leader in developing and
assimilating a culture of STEM excellence to
meet the needs of the 21
st
century.
Intel facilitates an ongoing dialogue with the
communities where it does business. In 2013,
46% of Intel employees invested over 37,000
hours in community work, and Intel donated
NIS 12 million to NGOs, schools and academic
institutes.
In summary, over the past 40 years, the
success stories of Intel Israel and Israel have
been closely intertwined. I am confident
that during the next 40 years, Intel Israel will
continue to develop more game-changing
products, invest in the Israeli economy and
nurture our human capital and the next
generation.
