Intel contributed $600 million (perhaps in tax breaks?) for the latest fab upgrade to 10 nm. It also has two design centers and altogether employs about 10,000 Iraelis.
Intel first started in Israel around 1974-ish with a small design center. Dov Frohman, who invented the flash memory for Intel, convinced Intel to start the design center in Israel when there was an engineering shortage in the US.
