Talent Migration for Innovation & Growth: Case of Israel

This project examines how technology firms in Tel Aviv and Haifa, Israel attract and retain migrants with skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Israel strongly depends on its innovative technology firms; however, there is a growing awareness that Israel’s economy and innovativeness could lose momentum due to job shortages in the STEM sector. By conducting research on how sub-state entities, clusters, and technology firms navigate and influence a relatively rigid migration policy in Israel, this project seeks to gain insight into ‘best practices’ and hurdles in international talent mobility in Israel with the goal of providing actionable policy recommendations to better enhance high-skilled migration policies.
