Salesforce was founded in 1999 and helps companies use technologies such as cloud, mobile, AI, voice, and blockchain to connect to their customers. In 2010, the company announced a Hebrew version of its CRM system, and Salesforce Israel was opened the following year following the acquisition of Navajo Systems.

SalesForce Israel’s R&D center is managed by Efi Cohen and employs over 700 people across three locations: Tel Aviv, Petah Tikva, and Nazareth.
