Abstract

There is a plethora in the literature of Economic Development on the Zionist Regime being a sart-up nation and entrepreneurial society. Analysing the Regime's innovation system, this paper aims to understand the interlationship between the relatively high performance of this Regime in terms of technological innovation and diffusion and the factor of social equality and social exclusion. Drawing on "National Innovation System" with the structural approach as the conceptual model, the paper uses the facts and figures of the international organizations. The research findings are that this innovation system is relied on the international capital and technologies of the multinational companies for its velocity and agility while the domestic population are segregated by apartheid like social and economic policies and as a result a part of population (Arab ethnic minority) is not integrated and can not be beneficiary of the fruits of vibrant innovation system.
