The Discovery Was Born Here - The Factory Will Rise Abroad
Israel knows how to produce medical breakthroughs, but it is less adept at keeping them at home. The price of this is far greater than it seems.
Assessment
Israeli medical innovation consistently generates breakthroughs, but the commercial production and economic benefits migrate abroad. The pattern costs Israel far more than most realize, though the precise figure rarely gets calculated publicly. What matters now is whether this dynamic represents a structural failure or a rational division of labor in a globalized industry. Watch for whether government incentives or regulatory reforms attempt to shift this balance, or whether the system accepts the loss as the price of staying competitive.
