Several of my recent postings relate to the great tech available in the Jerusalem region re solar power, clean water and green heating capabilities.

You have to conclude that if there was a touch more investment available, Israel would suffer very little from water shortages, waste or even expensive fuel.

Cleantech is not the only area where Jerusalem excels. I have just received the latest issue of the Jerusalem Life Science Bulletin. The Holy City is full of modern miracles.

The briefing commences with details of the most recent breakthroughs in research . Israeli scientists reversing brain birth defects using stem cells. The identification of genes of a rare skin disease. And many more.

In terms of building strategies, the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan and BioOhio have signed agreements with local teams.

In academia, the “scientist” magazine ranks Israeli academic institutions in first, second places in its annual search ‘the best places to work in academia’ outside the US.

And all this news is wrapped by the International Nanotechnology Conference taking place at the end of March 2009 in Jerusalem.

Recession, maybe. But there are several Israeli enterprises pressing ahead for all that. Overseas investors take note of what is happening in Jerusalem.
