Google Establishes Second Research and Development Center in Israel

June 5th news: Google opened a research and development center in Tel Aviv, a port city in Israel. This is the second such center that this Internet search engine giant has opened in Israel within a year.

Google's research and development center in Tel Aviv has 30 employees, led by Yossi Matias, an expert and scientist specializing in algorithms, databases, and Internet technology. At a press conference on Monday, Matias said that the center in Tel Aviv focuses on projects in the fields of search, advertising, and application software.

The company opened its first research and development center in Israel last year in Haifa, another port city, with about 20 employees. Additionally, Google has a business office in Tel Aviv with 15 employees. Alan Eustace, Senior Vice President of Engineering and Research at Google, stated that the company has not set a target for the number of employees it expects to hire in Israel. He declined to disclose how much funding Google has invested in these two centers in Israel.

Google has 10 research and development centers in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Companies like Intel, Motorola, Microsoft, and IBM already have significant operations established in Israel.
