										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p><strong>Oakland</strong>&#8211; Elon Musk testified on Tuesday that OpenAI’s transformation from a nonprofit research lab into a profit-driven artificial intelligence giant undermined the foundations of charitable giving, as a closely watched trial over the company’s future opened in federal court in California.</p>



<p>Musk, a co-founder of OpenAI, is suing the company, Chief Executive Sam Altman, President Greg Brockman and major investor Microsoft, alleging they abandoned OpenAI’s original mission of developing artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity and instead turned it into a commercial enterprise focused on profit.</p>



<p>“If we make it okay to loot a charity, the entire foundation of charitable giving in America will be destroyed,” Musk told the court on the first day of trial. “That’s my concern.”Musk is seeking $150 billion in damages from OpenAI and Microsoft, with the proceeds directed to OpenAI’s charitable arm. He is also asking the court to require OpenAI to return to nonprofit control and to remove Altman and Brockman from leadership roles, while seeking Altman’s removal from the board.</p>



<p>The lawsuit includes claims of breach of charitable trust and unjust enrichment and could have significant implications for OpenAI’s governance as the company explores a potential initial public offering that Reuters has previously reported could value it near $1 trillion.</p>



<p>OpenAI lawyer Bill Savitt told jurors during opening arguments that Musk had originally supported the idea of turning OpenAI into a for-profit structure and only sued after failing to gain control of the company and later launching his own rival artificial intelligence venture, xAI.Savitt said Musk wanted “the keys to the kingdom” and pursued litigation only after OpenAI rejected his ambitions to lead the company.</p>



<p>“What he cares about is Elon Musk being on top,” Savitt said. “We are here because Mr Musk didn’t get his way.”OpenAI’s legal team argued that its decision in March 2019 to establish a for-profit entity was necessary to secure the computing resources and talent needed to compete with rivals such as Google’s DeepMind artificial intelligence division.</p>



<p>Musk’s lawyer Steven Molo rejected that argument, saying OpenAI’s leadership shifted focus once major investors, including Microsoft, entered the picture.“It wasn’t a vehicle for people to get rich,” Molo said.Before jurors entered the courtroom, U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers warned Musk over his social media activity after OpenAI lawyers raised concerns about his posts on X, where he referred to Altman as “Scam Altman” and accused him of stealing a charity.</p>



<p>Rogers said she was reluctant to impose a gag order but urged Musk to avoid using social media to influence matters outside the courtroom.Musk agreed to reduce his online commentary, as did Altman. Both are expected to testify, along with Microsoft Chief Executive Satya Nadella.</p>



<p>The trial is expected to provide a rare public examination of OpenAI’s evolution from a nonprofit founded in 2015 in Brockman’s apartment into one of the world’s most valuable artificial intelligence companies, currently estimated to be worth more than $850 billion.</p>



<p>Musk testified that his concerns about artificial intelligence safety were central to OpenAI’s founding and intensified after discussions with former U.S. President Barack Obama and with Larry Page, whom he said did not take the risks of advanced AI seriously enough.“We had to have a counterpoint against Google,” Musk said.</p>



<p>OpenAI disputed that characterization, with Savitt telling jurors that Musk had dismissed employees focused on AI safety and that such concerns were not his primary motivation.</p>



<p>Musk has said he contributed about $38 million to OpenAI before leaving its board, later objecting to its restructuring and Microsoft’s multibillion-dollar investment.</p>



<p>Microsoft lawyer Russell Cohen said the company had acted properly throughout its partnership with OpenAI and described it as “a responsible partner every step of the way.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p><em>“The demand that&#8217;s come through in the last couple of years — really because of AI — has exploded.”</em></p>



<p>A surge in investment linked to artificial intelligence is reshaping Britain’s real estate market, as demand for data centre infrastructure drives up land values, strains electricity networks and fuels speculative development activity.</p>



<p>Across the United Kingdom, industrial landowners, property developers and investors are repositioning sites to attract technology firms seeking locations for large-scale data centres. </p>



<p>The shift is being driven by anticipated spending from major technology companies including Google, Microsoft and Nvidia, which have pledged billions of dollars toward digital infrastructure.At the centre of this transformation is the Wilton International site in northeast England, where disused land once tied to the declining chemical industry is being repurposed for potential AI data centre development.</p>



<p> The site benefits from existing energy infrastructure, including grid connections and on-site power generation, making it an example of what industry participants describe as “powered land.”Owned primarily by Sembcorp UK, a subsidiary of Sembcorp Industries, the Wilton site is being marketed in partnership with developer Digital Reef to attract a hyperscale tenant.</p>



<p> Such tenants—large cloud computing providers including Amazon, Apple, Meta and Microsoft require significant and reliable power supplies to support AI workloads.Industry participants say the defining requirement for AI data centres is access to electricity rather than proximity to financial hubs, allowing development to shift away from high-cost urban centres such as London toward less expensive industrial or rural areas.</p>



<p>According to construction analytics firm Barbour ABI, plans for 119 data centres have been submitted across Britain, spanning locations from former industrial facilities to repurposed commercial sites. This surge has led to a sharp increase in applications for electricity grid connections.</p>



<p>Data from Britain’s energy authorities show that demand for grid connections rose by 460% in the first half of 2025. Applications to connect to the high-voltage network reached 96 gigawatts, with an additional 29 gigawatts requested for local networks. For comparison, the country’s total electricity generation capacity is estimated at around 72 gigawatts.</p>



<p>The National Energy System Operator reported that approximately 140 data centre projects are currently in the connection queue, representing around 50 gigawatts of demand. The volume of applications has extended waiting times for grid access to between 12 and 15 years, creating a bottleneck that industry participants say is delaying viable projects.</p>



<p>The backlog has also been exacerbated by speculative applications. Some landowners have sought grid connections without confirmed planning approval or end users, leading to the emergence of so-called “zombie projects” that occupy capacity in the queue without clear development prospects.</p>



<p>In response, the operator has proposed reforms to prioritise projects deemed strategically important, including data centres, and to filter out speculative demand. A similar approach applied to renewable energy projects previously reduced connection requests by half.The scarcity of grid access has significantly altered land valuations. </p>



<p>According to Savills, industrial land in London typically sells for between 4.5 million and 6 million pounds per acre. Sites suitable for data centres can command between 8 million and 15 million pounds per acre, reflecting the premium attached to reliable power supply.</p>



<p>Comparable trends are evident in the United States, where real estate adviser Colliers reports that powered land can sell for more than twice the value of standard industrial land, with even higher multiples in established data centre markets such as northern Virginia and northern California.</p>



<p>Developers are increasingly adopting unconventional approaches to secure power access. In one case, a project acquired by Equinix obtained a grid connection by partnering with a battery storage developer and converting its allocation to suit data centre requirements.</p>



<p> Equinix plans to invest approximately 3.9 billion pounds in the development, with construction expected to begin in 2027 and operations targeted for 2031.However, securing a connection does not guarantee timely access to power. </p>



<p>Industry executives report instances where connection timelines have been delayed by more than a decade, forcing developers to explore alternative energy solutions to maintain project viability.Despite the surge in proposals, Britain lags behind other markets in actual project delivery.</p>



<p> Data compiled by DC Byte indicates that only 7% of tracked UK data centre projects are under construction or completed, compared with 46% in Germany, 40% in France and 24% in the United States.High industrial electricity costs and regulatory challenges have further complicated development. OpenAI recently paused plans for a large data centre in northeastern England, citing concerns over energy pricing and regulatory conditions.</p>



<p>Nonetheless, industry stakeholders maintain that underlying demand for AI infrastructure remains strong. At the Wilton site, existing grid capacity of 240 megawatts, combined with on-site generation from gas, biomass and waste-to-energy facilities, provides a foundation for expansion. Plans include integrating renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, with the potential to scale capacity to one gigawatt.</p>



<p>Developers estimate that achieving this scale could require investment of approximately 15 billion pounds over the next decade. Discussions with potential tenants are ongoing, with project backers expressing confidence in long-term demand driven by the adoption of AI technologies.The expansion of data centre infrastructure is increasingly viewed by policymakers and industry as central to economic modernisation strategies.</p>



<p> However, the pace of development will depend on resolving constraints in energy supply, planning approvals and infrastructure capacity, which continue to shape the trajectory of Britain’s AI-driven real estate market.</p>

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p>Despite a cautious tone from banking executives and mild corrections in technology stocks, Wall Street continues to demonstrate underlying strength, supported by strong corporate earnings and steady investor confidence in the U.S. economy.</p>
</blockquote>



<p>Wall Street experienced a modest dip this week as investors reassessed valuations in the technology sector following cautious remarks from major U.S. bank leaders. </p>



<p>Executives from leading financial institutions such as Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs suggested that equity markets could face a short-term correction, possibly between 10% and 15%.</p>



<p> However, analysts emphasize that such fluctuations are part of normal market cycles, especially after months of record-breaking rallies driven by artificial intelligence and innovation-led investments.</p>



<p>Despite short-term adjustments, market fundamentals remain sound. The U.S. economy continues to show resilience, and third-quarter corporate earnings have largely surpassed expectations. </p>



<p>Nearly 83% of S&amp;P 500 companies that reported earnings so far have exceeded analyst forecasts, significantly above the long-term average. </p>



<p>This demonstrates that corporate America remains strong, with sectors like healthcare, manufacturing, and finance showing sustained growth momentum.</p>



<p>The technology sector saw temporary weakness, with shares of Palantir Technologies, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft facing minor declines. </p>



<p>Palantir’s stock, which had surged nearly 400% over the past year, saw a short-term pullback despite announcing a positive revenue forecast for the upcoming quarter. Market experts view this as a healthy consolidation phase after months of rapid gains in AI-related stocks.</p>



<p> The underlying sentiment around artificial intelligence, data analytics, and cloud computing remains optimistic, given their long-term potential to reshape industries globally.</p>



<p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&amp;P 500, and Nasdaq Composite each registered modest losses, but the overall sentiment in the market stayed stable. </p>



<p>Analysts noted that after an exceptionally strong October, some investors chose to book profits, particularly in high-growth sectors like technology.</p>



<p> The brief decline in stock indexes is being seen as an opportunity for long-term investors to re-enter the market at more reasonable valuations.</p>



<p>While the CBOE Volatility Index saw a slight increase, reflecting short-term caution, the broader market outlook remains steady. </p>



<p>Investment strategists suggest that the current period of moderation is essential for maintaining sustainable growth and preventing market overheating.</p>



<p> With robust employment data and ongoing strength in consumer spending, the U.S. economy continues to provide a stable backdrop for equity investments.</p>



<p>The artificial intelligence boom, which has driven much of this year’s stock market rally, remains a dominant theme for 2025. </p>



<p>Companies such as Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Super Micro Computer are expected to post strong quarterly results, reinforcing confidence in the semiconductor and data-driven technology space.</p>



<p> Analysts believe that innovation across AI, cloud infrastructure, and advanced computing will remain key drivers of long-term growth.</p>



<p>Beyond technology, traditional sectors such as industrials, automotive, and energy are also witnessing renewed investor interest.</p>



<p> With infrastructure investments expanding and corporate spending on digital transformation increasing, Wall Street is poised for a balanced phase of growth. </p>



<p>Investors are focusing on value-based opportunities, combining strong fundamentals with strategic diversification.</p>



<p>Even as bank CEOs advise caution, their comments reflect a prudent approach rather than a pessimistic outlook. </p>



<p>The emphasis on market discipline, careful risk management, and sustainable growth strategies highlights a maturing investment environment that prioritizes long-term stability over speculative gains.</p>



<p>Wall Street’s resilience amid these short-term market adjustments signals continued confidence in the American economy. Strong earnings, a vibrant labor market, and technological innovation together point toward a positive trajectory in the coming quarters.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p><strong>New York &#8211; </strong>As Wall Street’s current bull market approaches its third anniversary, investors and analysts alike are celebrating a historic period of economic resilience and technological progress that continues to inspire confidence in the global financial landscape. </p>



<p>The S&amp;P 500 has surged nearly 90% since its October 2022 cycle low, signaling the strength and adaptability of the U.S. economy amid changing monetary conditions and global uncertainty. </p>



<p>Far from showing signs of fatigue, experts believe this bull market still has significant room to run — a reflection of both market optimism and sustained innovation in key sectors like technology and communications.</p>



<p>The New York financial district, home to the iconic Charging Bull statue, has once again become a symbol of renewed market confidence. Since the benchmark S&amp;P 500 index began its rally in October 2022 — following a period of monetary tightening by the Federal Reserve — investors have witnessed a remarkable recovery led by major corporations and technological breakthroughs. </p>



<p>The bull market’s strength is being fueled by strong earnings, easing inflation, and rising interest in emerging innovations such as artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and advanced manufacturing.</p>



<p>According to Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&amp;P Dow Jones Indices, the current rally’s gains, while impressive, are still well below the historical average rise of over 170% observed in previous bull markets dating back to 1932. </p>



<p>On average, those markets lasted around five years — suggesting that the current one, now three years old, may have plenty of growth potential left. “This isn’t an old bull,” noted Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group. “History tells us that once markets reach this point, they often continue to expand for years.”</p>



<p>At the heart of this bull market’s strength lies the booming technology sector, which has been the primary driver of gains. Companies like Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple, and Alphabet have soared thanks to rising demand for AI and digital infrastructure. </p>



<p>The information technology and communication services sectors have each gained more than 150% over the past three years, powered by investor enthusiasm for the so-called “Magnificent Seven” — the group of mega-cap stocks including Apple, Amazon, Tesla, Meta, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Nvidia.</p>



<p>Economic resilience has also played a crucial role in sustaining investor confidence. Analysts such as Jeffrey Buchbinder, chief equity strategist at LPL Financial, point out that as long as the economy continues to grow, the bull market has a strong foundation. </p>



<p>“If a recession doesn’t end a bull market, it often continues for five years or more,” he said. Recent improvements in labor market stability, moderate inflation levels, and the Federal Reserve’s shift toward interest rate cuts have all contributed to a more favorable investment environment.</p>



<p>The U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision to move away from aggressive rate hikes and instead focus on supporting steady economic growth has reassured investors. As Angelo Kourkafas, senior global investment strategist at Edward Jones, put it, “Bull markets don’t die of old age — it’s usually the Fed that ends them. But this time, the Fed is creating conditions for long-term expansion.”</p>



<p>Historically, the third year of a bull market can be mixed, but this one has been exceptional. Since October 2024, the S&amp;P 500 has climbed more than 15%, making it the strongest third-year performance of any bull market since 1957. </p>



<p>Keith Lerner, chief investment officer at Truist Advisory Services, highlighted that while strong third-year returns can sometimes temper gains in the fourth year, the overall trajectory remains promising.</p>



<p>What sets this bull market apart is the combination of robust corporate performance and widespread investor optimism. Companies are investing in next-generation technologies, expanding into green energy, and innovating in sectors ranging from healthcare to entertainment. Meanwhile, global investors have been drawn to U.S. equities for their stability and long-term growth potential, keeping Wall Street vibrant and forward-looking.</p>



<p>As the bull market nears its three-year milestone, the atmosphere in New York’s financial district is one of pride and anticipation. The Charging Bull — long a symbol of optimism and progress — once again reflects the enduring confidence of investors who believe in the power of innovation and perseverance.</p>



<p>With inflation easing, interest rates stabilizing, and technological breakthroughs reshaping industries, analysts agree that the foundations of this bull market remain strong.</p>



<p> History may suggest that bull markets eventually mature, but for now, Wall Street’s upward charge shows no sign of slowing down — a testament to the enduring spirit of growth, innovation, and resilience that defines the U.S. economy.</p>

<p>Global markets are embracing AI-driven growth, with investors poised to benefit from innovation and technological transformation, while the Bank of England highlights opportunities for long-term stability and wealth creation.</p>
</blockquote>



<p>Global financial markets are showing remarkable resilience and potential for growth as investors continue to embrace advancements in artificial intelligence and innovative technologies, the Bank of England highlighted in its latest quarterly update.</p>



<p> While the BoE acknowledged market volatility, the overall picture emphasizes the opportunities for long-term wealth creation and the strength of financial systems in adapting to evolving trends.</p>



<p>The Bank of England (BoE) emphasized that AI is reshaping corporate growth trajectories and transforming investment opportunities across sectors. Companies heavily investing in AI, such as Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta, are demonstrating how technological innovation can drive productivity, create high-value jobs, and expand global competitiveness. </p>



<p>The BoE noted that these firms’ focus on AI reflects a forward-looking strategy that positions them to meet rising global demand for cutting-edge solutions and digital infrastructure.</p>



<p>“Investors are witnessing the transformative power of AI across industries,” said Andrew Bailey, Governor of the Bank of England. </p>



<p>“While markets are always exposed to short-term fluctuations, the adoption of AI and technology-driven innovation provides enormous long-term potential for growth and resilience.”</p>



<p>The BoE report highlighted that U.S. stock markets are increasingly concentrated around leading AI innovators, which is creating significant momentum for capital allocation toward high-growth, future-focused sectors. </p>



<p>This concentration, when combined with historically strong balance sheets and robust revenue streams, presents investors with opportunities to gain exposure to global technological trends and emerging market solutions.</p>



<p>In addition to AI-driven growth, the BoE emphasized the importance of maintaining confidence in central bank policies. A stable and credible Federal Reserve ensures that global investors can continue to navigate markets with confidence, providing a foundation for steady economic expansion and cross-border investment flows. </p>



<p>The BoE reaffirmed that the UK’s financial system is well-equipped to benefit from global liquidity and investor confidence, even in a dynamic macroeconomic environment.</p>



<p>Global bond markets also present positive prospects. While gilt yields have risen amid fiscal adjustments and broader market dynamics, these movements reflect investor confidence in diversified portfolios and the opportunity for competitive returns on safe assets. </p>



<p>The BoE’s focus on financial stability ensures that market participants can capitalize on these trends while managing risk prudently.</p>



<p>Analysts also highlighted the potential for AI-driven innovation to expand beyond technology companies into healthcare, energy, finance, and infrastructure, creating broader economic growth opportunities. </p>



<p>With nearly half of fund managers identifying high-concentration tech stocks as key investments, the BoE sees strong demand for exposure to transformative companies, indicating robust investor confidence in AI as a growth engine.</p>



<p>“This period of innovation is comparable to past transformative eras,” said a BoE representative. “Just as previous technological revolutions created long-term wealth, AI and advanced analytics offer significant opportunities for investors who take a strategic, long-term view.”</p>



<p>The Bank of England report emphasized the role of diversification and forward-looking strategies in maximizing returns. Investors are encouraged to take advantage of AI-driven growth while monitoring market signals responsibly, ensuring that portfolios benefit from both innovation and financial stability.</p>



<p>Overall, the BoE sees a positive outlook for global financial markets. While acknowledging the need for vigilance, the report underlined that markets are increasingly supported by technological advancements, strategic capital allocation, and strong institutional frameworks. Investors are thus well-positioned to benefit from the next phase of global growth, leveraging AI and innovation to create sustainable value.</p>



<p>With AI adoption accelerating and financial systems demonstrating resilience, global markets are entering a period of exciting opportunities. The Bank of England’s insights highlight that long-term growth, technological innovation, and sound central bank policies collectively provide a foundation for optimism. </p>



<p>Investors looking to embrace AI-driven industries, technological transformation, and stable economic frameworks are positioned to capture the full potential of the evolving market landscape.</p>

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p>Tech leadership and national security take center stage as Microsoft strengthens global strategy and innovation partnerships.</p>
</blockquote>



<p>Microsoft continues to solidify its position as a leader in global technology governance and corporate responsibility, highlighting the company’s commitment to innovation, security, and collaboration with governments worldwide. </p>



<p>At the forefront of these efforts is Lisa Monaco, Microsoft’s global affairs president, whose extensive experience in federal leadership roles brings valuable insight into the intersection of technology, policy, and international cooperation.</p>



<p>Monaco, who served in both the Obama and Biden administrations, provides Microsoft with a unique perspective on regulatory frameworks, security protocols, and diplomatic engagement. </p>



<p>Her leadership ensures that Microsoft’s initiatives align with national priorities while maintaining the company’s innovative edge in areas such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity. By leveraging her expertise, Microsoft is better positioned to anticipate policy developments, foster international partnerships, and address complex global challenges.</p>



<p>The growing dialogue around her role underscores the increasingly interconnected nature of technology, corporate responsibility, and national security. In a world where tech companies play a central role in digital infrastructure, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies, the guidance of experienced leaders is essential to maintaining both public trust and operational excellence. </p>



<p>Industry experts have noted that companies with leadership experienced in government and security matters are better equipped to navigate regulatory complexities and maintain resilience in rapidly evolving markets.</p>



<p>Microsoft’s proactive engagement with government stakeholders highlights the company’s commitment to fostering innovation while ensuring compliance with national and international regulations. This includes collaborating on critical issues such as cybersecurity resilience, cloud infrastructure security, and ethical AI deployment. </p>



<p>Leaders like Monaco bridge the gap between the private sector and government, ensuring that Microsoft can both support and shape policies that strengthen digital security and innovation ecosystems globally.</p>



<p>The broader technology industry is increasingly focused on building partnerships with governments to address pressing challenges, ranging from data privacy and AI ethics to global cybersecurity threats. Microsoft’s approach reflects an understanding that leadership in the tech sector is not solely about developing innovative products but also about responsible corporate governance, public trust, and engagement with policymakers. </p>



<p>By integrating public policy expertise with technological strategy, Microsoft continues to demonstrate a model for how the tech sector can contribute positively to society while driving business growth.</p>



<p>Monaco’s role is particularly vital as companies navigate global geopolitical tensions, evolving cybersecurity risks, and the need for cross-border cooperation in technology standards and governance. Her experience in managing high-stakes security and regulatory issues ensures that Microsoft’s initiatives support both the company’s objectives and broader national and global interests. </p>



<p>This approach allows Microsoft to act as a responsible global citizen, fostering collaboration that benefits technology, industry, and society alike.</p>



<p>In addition to strengthening security and governance, Microsoft’s leadership team emphasizes transparency, compliance, and innovation. By maintaining open channels with policymakers, regulators, and industry partners, the company can anticipate changes, respond to challenges efficiently, and contribute to shaping regulations that promote safe and effective technology adoption. </p>



<p>These efforts not only enhance Microsoft’s reputation but also set benchmarks for corporate responsibility in the global technology ecosystem.</p>



<p>The integration of public policy insight with corporate strategy enables Microsoft to remain competitive in an era of rapid technological advancement. As governments around the world seek to regulate digital markets and safeguard citizens, leaders with deep experience in national security and public administration are increasingly important. </p>



<p>Monaco’s presence at Microsoft exemplifies how private sector leadership can positively influence global policy, encourage responsible innovation, and maintain alignment with national priorities.</p>



<p>By combining operational excellence with strategic foresight and public policy expertise, Microsoft reinforces its commitment to being a global technology leader that upholds security, fosters innovation, and supports societal development. </p>



<p>Monaco’s continued guidance ensures that Microsoft not only advances its technological agenda but also strengthens its role as a trusted partner for governments, businesses, and communities worldwide. Through this approach, Microsoft exemplifies how corporate leadership can contribute positively to global security, governance, and technological progress.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p><strong>Jerusalem (Reuters) &#8211;</strong> A senior Microsoft Israel official expressed concern for the future of Israel&#8217;s high tech sector due to the country&#8217;s war with Islamist group Hamas, warning multinational companies may close research and development activities.</p>



<p>Tomer Simon, chief scientist at Microsoft Israel&#8217;s R&amp;D Center, said he expressed his concerns in a letter to Tzachi Hanegbi, Israel&#8217;s head of the National Security Council, but never received a reply.</p>



<p>As a result, Simon published his letter in the Calcalist financial daily on Wednesday, saying it was his personal opinion and not on behalf of Microsoft, one of hundreds of multinationals operating in Israel.</p>



<p>&#8220;The country must create a positive horizon so that multinational companies continue to grow,&#8221; Simon said, noting that for every tech job, there were five more created that drive Israel&#8217;s economy.</p>



<p>&#8220;There is a great danger here. Israel cannot return to just producing oranges. Without high-tech we will return to being a third world economy.&#8221;</p>



<p>The prime minister&#8217;s office did not immediately comment to Reuters.</p>



<p>Simon, who also acknowledged the human cost of the war, called on leaders to send a clear message to international partners and the global business community that Israel was committed to a prosperous and stable future.</p>



<p>Hundreds of thousands of army reservists have been called up, leaving a gaping hole in manpower and&nbsp;disrupting supply chains&nbsp;from seaports to supermarkets.</p>



<p>&#8220;The war has created a substantial vacuum in the workforce of the high-tech sector. This scenario is especially noticeable in multinational corporations located in Israel, where the percentage of employees recruited to the reserves is significantly higher than the national average,&#8221; Simon said.</p>



<p>Simon did not cite figures but the government has estimated as much as 15% of tech workers were called to military service.</p>



<p>He said their absence harms both current projects and &#8220;sends a worrying message to their global headquarters about the reliability and stability of their Israeli operations, and of Israel in general&#8221;.</p>



<p>Simon also pointed to the preceding 10 months of political turmoil amid a judicial overhaul plan that harmed foreign investments and led to a few R&amp;D closures.</p>



<p>He cautioned that &#8220;multinational companies may freeze or reduce their investments after the conflict, and even to close their R&amp;D activities here&#8221; which would carry harmful results for Israel&#8217;s economy and the &#8220;future of innovation, weaken our global position and undermine our internal stability even more&#8221;.</p>
