Employees at major tech firms in Israel, including Microsoft, Intel, Nvidia, Amazon, Meta, and Apple, are increasingly requesting to relocate abroad due to uncertainty stemming from the ongoing conflict. A study by the Israel Advanced Technology Industries Association (IATI) found that over half of companies have seen a rise in such requests, primarily from senior staff and families. This trend raises concerns about potential harm to Israel's innovation engine and technological leadership, despite the high-tech sector's significant contribution to the country's GDP and exports.
