Japan-Israel ties blossom as 2020 investments reach record $1.1 billion
[IsraelTimes] Data compiled by consulting firm Harel-Hertz shows that Japan accounts for 11.1% of all foreign investment in Israeli high-tech, vs just 1.8% in 2016.
A question was asked the other day about China’s relationship with Israel. This shows a piece of Israel’s relationship of China’s neighbour, Japan.
Elchanan Harel said he expects the volume of Japanese involvement in Israel will continue to grow going forward.

"The trade war between US and China has created friction and startups are looking elsewhere and not to China for investments, especially in the fields of cybersecurity, AI and IT," he said in a phone interview. "This has led to greater Japanese prominence."
