Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu participated in the Conference on Innovation and Competitiveness in the Business Sector of the Organization of American States, at the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem.
"Everything becomes technological and I do not believe it is entirely true. I do not think the technology will ever be able to reproduce the thrilling poetry in the Bible, Shakespeare or Cervantes, but it penetrates every area," Netanyahu said. "Everything becomes technological, not the human spirit, but everything becomes technological. Therefore, the future belongs to those who can innovate and create new technology, and new technology creates a demand of its own. "
According to the prime minister, "New technology creates its own industries, the wealth of itself. It not only satisfies existing requirements, it creates new requirements and therefore creates new wealth. The future belongs to the newcomer."
