On the heels of the recent RadioShack Corporation (NYSE: RSH) Worldwide Innovation Conference in Fort Worth, Texas, the company announced on November 18th that it had reached an agreement with E.N.T. Exceptional New Technologies Ltd. to identify innovative Israeli technologies and products the consumer electronics retailer can bring to market, either through its stores or other distribution channels.



E.N.T. is a leading technology marketing company specializing in channeling unique Israeli technologies into the worldwide marketplace. RadioShack officials said they will rely on the Israeli-based company to identify, analyze and select “best-of-breed” Israeli technologies that can be used to build domestic and international markets in a timely, cost-effective fashion.



The agreement with E.N.T. is a result of RadioShack’s new business innovation initiative, headed up by Leonard Roberts, chairman and chief executive officer of RadioShack Corporation, along with a team of senior company executives and board members.



“We’re excited about our new alliance with E.N.T.,” said Roberts. “Israel has proven to be a hotbed of technological innovation. In fact, with 135 scientists and technicians per 10,000 workers, Israel offers a highly trained base of high-tech professionals that are continually on the cutting-edge of technologies and products and related accessories. E.N.T. gives us a strong presence in that region to help facilitate our strategy of dominating cost-effective solutions to meet everyone’s routine electronics needs and families’ distinct electronics wants. This is essential as we strive to identify and integrate new technologies that will help transform our business in the years to come.”



E.N.T. Chairman Amiram Shore said, “Israeli-originated technologies are integrated into businesses worldwide, giving that region a reputation for innovation, creativity and originality. Our initiative with RadioShack and its vast network of U.S. retail stores and world-wide manufacturing resources gives Israeli companies an excellent opportunity to create an instant market for innovative technologies, products or services.”
