"Nexus and HealthInvestor, the magazine we publish, helped to organise conferences in London in 2007 and 2008 for Israeli companies aiming to enter the UK market. Israel has world-class research and technology which the companies who attended have exploited to develop devices, products and services which, in many cases, are already in use world-wide. It is clear that there are many opportunities for UK companies to be involved as distributors (especially into the NHS), development partners and investors."
