Big and Small, Old and New: Oxford University Press and Its Israeli Startups

In their 2011 book Start-Up Nation: The Story of Israel’s Economic Miracle, Dan Senor and Saul Singer explored how Israel, at the start of 2009, had more companies than any other country listed on the NASDAQ. Seven years later, the start-up scene there reportedly still is going strong.

In February, Oxford University Press (OUP) teamed up with three Israeli ed-tech startups to develop online educational products, despite a growing academic boycott of Israel to protest its policies towards the Palestinians.
