TEL-AVIV, Israel, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- IsraelWise Ltd., the Tel-Aviv-based startup that simplifies the process of locating technology, products, business intelligence and partners in Israel, has introduced a sophisticated
search engine that enables companies and investors anywhere in the world --without cost or obligation -- to quickly search for and identify the Israeli firms with which they need to do business. 

The database, accessible at the company's Web site (http://www.israelwise.com), can be searched instantly by business type (hi-tech, service provider, management company, etc.); sector (communications, bio-tech, enterprise software, etc.); sub-sector, and several other distinctive categories. Conversely, IsraelWise allows companies to enter themselves into the database so that they can be available to their Israeli counterparts.

"Our search engine has been designed to increase the interaction between the international business community and Israel," said IsraelWise founder and Managing Director Maoz Tenenbaum. "It covers the full spectrum of Israeli
high-tech industries, affording our clients access to a rich directory of companies seeking partners, customers and investors -- and by adding their names to it, they'll be similarly available to companies in Israel."

In spite of its tiny size and population of less than seven million, the State of Israel has more companies listed on NASDAQ than any country outside of North America and more technology companies than any place outside of
California, These factors have created rich opportunities for international business cooperation, sales and investment.

"Making contact is a small part of the whole process," said Tenenbaum."Information is the key to success in any business venture and it is even more important when you are considering doing business in a foreign market." To
that end IsraelWise emphasizes business intelligence, sharing with clients their extensive knowledge of Israeli markets and companies, including competitive analysis; information on Israel technology and infrastructure
projects; financial reviews; stock and investment opportunities; media and PR summaries. "Companies that work with IsraelWise find that they have a partner right here in Israel," said Tenenbaum.

We are authorized by the Israel Export Institute to support Israeli companies in their dealings on the world market. This means that we can provide clients with a local Israeli presence and act on their behalf to perform a variety of business and administrative functions."
