November 19, 2008
More data has become available about Google’s operations in Israel. David Shamah’s “Multinationals Discover Israel’s Wealth of Hi-Tech Talent” here reports that Google has two research and development centers in the country. Israel is, according to the Mr. Shamah is “one of the few countries outside the US where the company has multiple R&D offices”. The Google CEO is Meir Brand, who added:
We’ve found a huge pool of scientists, engineers and mathematicians full of innovative ideas. Israelis tend to think ‘out of the box,’ a trait highly valued at Google.
The offices are located in Tel Aviv and Haifa. There are about 100 Google employees in Israel. Among Google Israel’s project work are:
- Conversion of Google products for use in Israel
- Google Trends
- YouTube.com annotations
- Google Analytics’ function to compare trends across regions and categories
A happy quack to one of my Beyond Search contributors for this information. The goose is pleased.
