June show: doing business in Israel
U.S. investor Warren Buffet YOUR E-MAIL ALERTS(CNN) -- Business Traveller heads to Israel in June after legendary American investor Warren Buffet put the country on the map as an investment target. In early May, Buffet made his biggest deal outside the U.S. when he paid $4 billion for an 80 per cent stake in privately held Iscar Metalworking Co., one of Israel's largest manufacturers. The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange soared on the news and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert predicted it would focus international investors' attention on a country known primarily for its wars. Hot bed of innovationBusiness Traveller looks at some of the technological developments that have taken place in Israel during the past 50 years. From solar energy to military technology, Israel could be a new market for investors.
