Israeli peace deal coaxes UAE investors out of the shadows
Israeli entrepreneurs are preparing for a flood of investments into the local technology industry

Now, the LinkedIn account of the head of Cukierman & Co Investment House is buzzing with 20 to 30 messages a day from Emiratis eager to do deals - without having to conceal themselves. The shift comes after a United States-brokered peace process aimed at ending decades of official hostility between the two Middle East nations.
