Israel the 100th smallest country, with less than 1/1000th of the world's population, can lay claim to the following:

Both the Pentium-4 microprocessor and the Centrino processor are produced in Israel.
The Pentium microprocessor in your computer was most likely made in Israel. Voice mail technology was developed in Israel. Both Microsoft and Cisco built their only R&D facilities outside the US in Israel.
The technology for the AOL Instant Messenger ICQ was developed in 1996 by four young Israelis.
According to industry officials, Israel designed the airline industry's most impenetrable flight security. US officials now look (finally) to Israel for advice on how to handle airborne security threats.

Israel: Bio-Tech & Medicine Israeli researchers have created a biological pacemaker which corrects faulty heart rhythms. Israeli scientists are developing a nose drop that will provide a five-year flu vaccine. A revolutionary new drug developed by Hebrew University prevents re-clogging of coronary arteries after undergoing "balloon therapy." Israeli scientists have created a DNA nano-computer that not only detects cancer, but also releases drugs that specifically target and treat cancerous cells. Israeli stem-cell technology is being used in the U.S. to regenerate heart tissue.
PillCam ESO 2 is a new capsule endoscope from Israel's Given Imaging Ltd. Thanks to Israels Given Imaging, doctors have the Pillcam! Israel's Given Imaging developed the first ingestible video camera, so small it fits inside a pill. Used to view the small intestine from the inside, cancer and digestive disorders.
Copaxone manufacturing line Two of the most revolutionary drugs on the market - Copaxone, which treats Multiple Sclerosis, and Rasagaline, which treats Parkinsons - were brought to you by Israels Teva Pharmaceuticals.
Medicine... Israeliscientists developed the first fully computerized, no-radiation, diagnostic instrumentation for breast cancer. An Israeli company developed a computerized system for ensuring proper administration of medications, thus removing human error from medical treatment. Every year in U. S. hospitals 7,000 patients die from treatment mistakes.
Researchers in Israel developed a new device that directly helps the heart pump blood, an innovation with the potential to save lives among those with heart failure. The new device synchronized with the camera helps doctors diagnose heart's mechanical operations through a sophisticated system of sensors.
