Welcome to Microsoft Israel R&D Center
Chosen as one of Microsoft's three strategic Global Development Centers, the Microsoft Israel Research & Development Center is home to some of the Company's most exciting and innovative technologies. Led by industry leaders, like Corporate VP and President of the center Moshe Lichtman, the center is comprised of incubations and mature, next generation product development activities designed for new business segments and key growth areas in the fields of Telecom, Security and Online Services
Our vision is to leverage our ideal location at the heart of Israel's high-tech community to attract the best of Israel's pool of globally acclaimed technological talent, inventiveness, creative imagination, and entrepreneurial spirit.
With its inauguration in April 2006, the Israel R&D Center marked a significant expansion of Microsoft's technological activities in Israel dated to 1991. Alongside its core R&D and incubation activities, the Center also serves as a platform for business and technological cooperation with the local, thriving high-tech community and venture capital industry.
So how do we transform our dreams into realities? By taking the right people and the right "climate" one step further. We work in a synergetic hybrid reality: on one hand, small, start-up spirited teams, along with labs and incubations; on the other hand, the backing of Microsoft, the world's global software and technology leader.
