The annual Globes business conference in Tel Aviv is a great occasion for Israelis to reveal their economic capabilities. After all, Israelis never need to be given a second chance if asked to show off.

And there is much to shout about. At the macro level, GDP will have moved ahead by around 4% in 2010. Unemployment dropped to under 6%. Israeli scientists, who have created successful careers abroad, have begun to find jobs locally. etc etc.

I noticed this morning a series of press releases that show how well parts of the economy are performing.

NICE Systems Ltd. (Nasdaq: NICE), the worldwide leader of intent-based solutions that extract insight to impact business performance…..has been recognized as the worldwide leader in speech analytics implementations, with a 34% market share, …..by DMG Consulting LLC, a leading analyst firm.

That is very welcome praise indeed for this high tech outfit, based north of Tel Aviv in Ra’anana. And they are not alone amongst Israeli companies receiving glowing reports: –

 ClickSoftware Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: CKSW), the leading provider of automated workforce management and optimization solutions for the service industry… has been named as a winner in the ninth annual Mobile Star Awards™ program, hosted by mobile technology news portal MobileVillage.com.

A leading internet investor’s guide, INVESTORS.com,  summarised the issue very clearly.

If you’ve been sifting for top-rated stocks, you’ve probably noticed a gaggle of stock-market winners from Israel popping up on your screen recently. And a lot of these hail from high-tech industries.

Israel? Talk about a country with problems. But some basic features of its economy compare well with the U.S. and Europe, though not against emerging-market stars such as China, India and much of Latin America.
