14 DAY TRIAL // The Mountain View company plans to expand its presence in Israel and opened a new center in Tel Aviv. This is the second research and development center in the country, this latest one having no less than 30 employees. According to Reuters, the office is led by Yossi Matias, algorithms expert and Internet technologies. Last year, the search giant opened a center in Haifa where it currently employees 20 persons. "Alan Eustace, senior vice president of engineering and research at Google, said the company had not set a target for the number it expects to employ in Israel. He declined to say how much Google has invested in the two centers," Reuters said.
As you might know, Israel is a country that hosts numerous impressive names such as Intel, the regional office that created the third generation processors Core 2 Duo, Microsoft, the famous producer of Windows and Motorola, the well-known phone producer.
Obviously, Google joins the competition in the local market and plans to increase its presence in Israel and near locations. As expected, the Mountain View company tries to use the new offices to conquer the Israel market and sell its products to local customers. However, the things might go wrong, just like the Chinese expansion, a country that rejected most of the Google attempts to expand its solutions.
Some time ago, two of the most popular Internet giants, Google and Yahoo, tried to assault China and debuted a special version of their solutions bundled with new offices. You're right, just like the Israel case. At that time, both companies were quickly rejected by the local giant Baidu that attracted the majority of clients and made their attempts almost useless. After a short period of time, Google's representative had to make a trip to China because almost 300 fake agents were pretending to be hired by the Mountain View company to sell the company's products.
