Google Acquires Israel’s Quicksee

Internet giant Google is not afraid of investing in Israel.  The web company has reportedly reached an agreement to acquire Israeli company Quicksee.

Quicksee is known for developing interactive web content that may be incorporated into Google Maps.  Quicksee software allows users to turn panoramic photos or videos into an interactive rotating 3D image, similar to Google’s street view.

Just like the recent puchase of Attenti by 3M and Warren Buffet’s purchase of Iscar, it is great to see respected companies and investors showing confidence in Israel’s companies, workers, and security in the future.

If you are looking to invest in Israel, two popular vehicles are by buying stock in Israel’s largest company, Teva, or an Israel stock ETF. (This is not investment advice, do research before making any investment.)
