    abaGada as Dentsu’s technology hub in Israel

    Many large global corporations have operations in Israel to link into Israeli’s legendary innovative strengths. Israel’s technology strength and attraction for Japanese corporations was recently visualized at a series of events in Tokyo, e.g. The Israeli Venture Fund meeting in Tokyo on March 4, 2014.

    With the acquisition of abaGada, Densu now also has an antenna into Israel’s innovations.
