The U.S. tech giant Microsoft announced on Wednesday that it is more than doubling the number of R&D employees in Israel from 2,000 to 4,500 over the next four years.

The company continues to grow its Israeli presence and is opening five new offices, reported the Israeli business daily Globes.

The company is looking to expand with offices in Tel Aviv, Herzliya, Beersheva, Jerusalem and another location that has not been named.
