Is this the end of the Israeli “Start-Up Nation” era?

Israeli high-tech continued to break investment records even during the Covid crisis. Alongside the industry’s maturation, the number of new startups is declining sharply, the number of seed rounds is stagnating, and the Innovation Authority’s budget has been eroded. How will these changes influence the industry’s future and what can the government do to preserve Israel’s competitive advantage?

What Will the Future High-Tech Generation Look Like?

Israeli high-tech is undergoing a transformation – its employees are not as young but are still based in Tel Aviv. One tenth of employees in Israel work in high-tech and pay a quarter of the country’s total income tax. One in every four students is studying a technology subject and will soon attempt to integrate into the high-tech industry, however the Covid crisis has made the industry tougher for women and inexperienced juniors. Will they find work after completing their studies?

How can Israeli High- Tech Help Rehabilitate the Economy?

Guaranteeing the Israeli economy’s continued prosperity and the leading global position of its high-tech industry depends on several key factors. One of these is a state policy that supports the creation of infrastructures necessary to develop innovative technologies and train the next generation of high-tech employees. At the same time, significant changes in the government’s policy and regulatory perception will aid Israel’s recovery from its largest ever economic crisis by implementing Blue & White technology solutions.

Activities of the Israel Innovation Authority’s Divisions

The Israel Innovation Authority strives to provide solutions for the various challenges facing the Israeli innovation ecosystem via six operative divisions.

Israeli Innovation Breaks the Boundaries

Israeli innovation has attained great heights in recent decades. Israel is a global center with a vibrant innovation culture based on interdisciplinary capabilities, a spirit of entrepreneurship and strong technical skills. Recent years have witnessed a flourishing of Israeli hi-tech that is expressed by widespread activity of multinational corporations, innovative startup companies, and Israeli growth […]

The Innovation Authority

The Innovation Authority’s vision is to establish Israel as a world leader in innovation and entrepreneurship that frequently grows innovation-driven companies that provide extensive, highly productive employment for all population groups and all regions of the country

High Tech in Israel 2018

The global tech industry is gearing up for a new world order that has an impact on Israel’s high-tech industry as well. What changed in the global economy in 2018, and what were the industrial trends during these past years in terms of funding, technology, and human capital?

The Race for Technological Leadership

AI is slated to be at the heart of 21st century technological developments. Will Israel, which was among the world leaders in previous waves of technology, successfully find its way to lead with this technology as well?

Personalized Medicine

Radical transformation in the global biopharma industry may bring about an awaited leap forward of the Israeli biopharma industry. How do we realize Israel’s competitive advantage in an age of personalized medicine?

From a high-tech industry

Weak competitive intensity and regulation that do not foster innovation have thus far slowed the adoption of new technologies in the Israeli economy. Israel must now brace itself for inevitable ‘Creative Destruction’ processes that will coincide with global automation trends

An Innovation Driven Economy in the Periphery

Innovation activity in Israel is concentrated predominantly in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area and does not exhaust the resources of innovation in the periphery. The Innovation Authority is leading a national strategy to promote an innovation-driven economy in the periphery, which will benefit both the regional economy and the entire national innovation system

Israeli High-Tech in 2019

In 2019, the Israeli High-Tech industry continued to flourish and broke new records in several indices. Yet the Israel Innovation Authority is detecting alarming trends that call for the government’s close attention, such as a decline is high-tech exports and a shortage of skilled employees

Investing in Progress

The Israel Innovation Authority’s vision is to establish Israel as a world leader in innovation and entrepreneurship that frequently grows innovation-driven companies, in order to provide extensive, highly productive employment for all population groups and all regions of the country

Growth of the Israeli Innovation Ecosystem

Recent years have shown an increase in the number of Israeli high-tech companies that are in sales and growth stages. The Israel Innovation Authority recognizes that these companies struggle to raise debt financing in Israel. This obstacle could damage their competitive advantage and encourage them to divert their operations overseas

Accelerating Israeli Entrepreneurship

In recent years, there has been an alarming decline in the number of new start-ups and in the amount of funding rounds by seed-stage start-ups. The Israel Innovation Authority analyzes the causes of this decline and is taking action to reverse the trend and to relaunch Israeli entrepreneurship

Bolstering Artificial Intelligence

For Israel to realize its full potential in AI and to maintain its leading position in the field, it must make a concerted effort to meet the challenges posed by regulation, human capital, accessibility to databases, and sub-par supercomputer infrastructure

Bio-Convergence

The field of bio-convergence could potentially become one of the Israeli high-tech industry’s most substantial engines of growth. The Israel Innovation Authority is working in collaboration with additional entities to expand its operations in order to c competitive ecosystem to advance this field in Israel.

The Israel Innovation Authority in Action

In 2019, mission and customer oriented divisions of the Israel Innovation Authority took a variety of measures to advance the growth of the Israeli innovation ecosystem
