Abstract: To boost the process of building a world-known technology innovation center, Shanghai can learn more from the technology innovation system of six dimensions Israel uses in building a strong hi-tech country. This can transfuse new ingredients into the spirit of Shanghai and help advance in areas such as human capital accumulation, rights to project review, end product transfer, government funding social investment and intellectual property rights protection. However, the cooperation in technology innovation between Shanghai and Israel is far from its optimized depth and width. At a new point in the China-Israel collaboration, a campaign in positioning Shanghai as one of the primary field ground for the cooperation between China and Israel should be carried out in the new round of the "Three-year China Israel Cooperation Plan". The technology partnership with Israel should be carried out in a three-dimensional way:to promote the realization of sister city with Tel Aviv, the "Silicon Valley" of the East, to advance "Sino-Israel Technology Innovation Center" in becoming a hub for the cooperation between Shanghai and Israel's technology innovation, and to build a mutual development in "technology innovation chain" among Israel, Shanghai and Changzhou.

Key words: Shanghai, urban development, Israel, technology innovation
