20/08/2006
By Ezra HaLevi

Two large companies, Google and IBM, announced Tuesday that they are
expanding their operations in Israel.

Google will be opening a research and development (R&D) center in Tel
Aviv. The Internet behemoth already has one facility in Haifa. The Tel
Aviv center will employ experts in algorithms, database technology and
Internet programming development.

IBM will be opening a software lab which will deal with metadata
management and collaborative real-time technologies. IBM already has
two R&D centers in Israel.

IBM Israel General Manager Meir Nissensohn told Israel21c that the
company's latest move "is a strong vote of confidence from IBM for the
software development capabilities existing in this country."
