The Dutch Microtechnology and ICT mission is visiting Israel these days to learn about Israels strengths in this sector, and to seek international partners, knowledge and business opportunities. Participants are large companies, such as Vodafone and Atos, and innovative SME's.
The Ambassador of the Netherlands to Israel, Mr. Caspar Veldkamp said: “Holland and Israel are leading countries in the realm of micro-technology and ICT. The two countries aim to be a step ahead. Inventing, building and commercializing new technologies. Our countries are at the forefront because we seek cooperation in innovation. We see it here during the mission in Israel, and I'm confident we will see it in our first bilateral innovation day next year in the Netherlands”.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this evening (Tuesday, 13 November 2012), for the third year, at a ceremony at Ben-Gurion University in Be'er Sheva, awarded the "Prime Minister's Prize for Initiatives and Innovation."
The goal of the prize is to encourage initiatives, innovational thinking, imagination and creativity among various population groups, including young people, and thereby lead to significant changes in society, the environment, science, technology, etc.
The Prizes, which are worth NIS 170,000, were awarded this year to entrepreneurs in two categories: The Prime Minister's Prize for Initiative and Innovation for Financial Profit and the Prime Minister's Prize for Initiative and Innovation Not for Financial Profit (NIS 70,000 each). Two honorable mentions will also be awarded, one in each category (NIS 15,000 each).
Prime Minister Netanyahu said: "These two great forces – initiatives and innovation – push society and life to new heights. We are facing a very promising and, in a certain sense, a very challenging period. The development of the world of the Internet has reached the cyber world very quickly; the cyber world reaches the world of cyber-attacks. There must also be defenses; new things come from this defense – new industries and new understandings. We must advance these from within both the Government and the Prime Minister's Office. I believe that this is not only within us, it is also our future. Therefore, we established this Prize. Initiatives and innovation advance humanity, the State of Israel and society. The pace of change, applications and initiatives is increasing. This attests to the creativity of the Jewish People, the State of Israel and Israeli citizens."

An Israeli-Australian venture will use solar technology developed at the Weizmann Institute of Science to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of brown coal. The venture has been recently launched in Israel by NewCO2Fuels Ltd., a subsidiary of the Australian company Greenearth Energy Ltd., which has acquired an exclusive worldwide license for the solar technology from Yeda, the Weizmann Institute's technology transfer arm.
