Partnering with Israel

With every dollar invested in medical research, Australia gains a $3.90 return to the economy. Many countries competing with Australia have increased their investment. Israel currently has the highest spend globally at 4.25 per cent – thus is a powerful partner for research and development. There are other synergies between our countries including a well-known history of collaboration leading to successful outcomes, medically and commercially.
