Kyocera Corp, one of the largest electronics companies in Japan, which operates 51 plants of various kinds around the world, is keen to invest in Israeli technology according to reports in the Hebrew business daily Globes. The company is a large customer of Israel’s DSPC which specializes in creating chip-sets for hand-held electronics such as mobile phones and Personal Digital Assistants. Recently Kyocera was engaged in partnership talks with an Israeli company which fell through although senior figures in the company suggest that should another partnership opportunity arise they will think positively about it. Kyocera’s involvement in Israel also includes partnership in the Nitzanim venture capital fund, alongside Kardan.
