There are several regional American-Israeli chambers of commerce that make it easier for Israeli and American companies to expand into each other's markets. There is [[U.S.-Israel Joint Economic Development Group]], founded in 1985. In the same year, the [[Israel–United States Free Trade Agreement]] was signed. American companies such as [[IBM]], [[Microsoft]] and [[Intel]] have established large [[research and development]] centers in Israel. Israel has more [[Nasdaq|NASDAQ]]-listed companies than any other country except [[China]], and U.S. venture capitalists are significant investors in the [[Start-up Nation|start-up nation]] Israel. More than 2500 US companies in Israel are employing 72,000 people in the country.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Fact Sheet U.S. – Israel Economic Relationship |url=https://il.usembassy.gov/our-relationship/policy-history/fact-sheet-u-s-israel-economic-relationship/ |access-date=2024-07-13 |website=U.S. Embassy in Israel |language=en-US}}</ref>
