In 2021, PLANETech, a non-profit climate tech innovation community and the Israel Innovation Authority \u2013 an established government agency \u2013 collaborated in the very first nation-wide evaluation of any country\u2019s climate tech ecosystem, culminating in the writing of the first \u201cIsrael\u2019s State of Climate Tech\u201d report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This report had multiplying effects, not only documenting the existing ecosystem, but also forging a climate tech identity for Israeli entrepreneurs and motivating the various players that collaboratively promote and drive innovation, towards developing and accelerating Israeli climate tech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The same year, the Israeli government undertook to globally promote Israel\u2019s climate tech capabilities, building upon its designation as a \u201cStartup Nation\u201d to fulfill the role of \u201cClimate Tech Nation\u201d, and endorsing Israel as \u201cThe Climate of Innovation\u201d,1<\/a><\/sup>The motto of Israel’s first ever pavilion at COP27 in Sharm El Sheikh, 2022.<\/span> a hub for the development of climate change mitigation and adaptation technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOur previous \u201cState of Climate Tech\u201d annual reports, published in 2021 and 2022, provided an overview of Israel\u2019s climate tech innovation ecosystem. The reports mapped the companies that are developing mitigation and adaptation technologies, monitored their funding, analyzed the growth of the Israeli climate-tech ecosystem over recent years, and portrayed the ecosystem\u2019s evolvement in the context of global climate-tech development \u2013 thereby delineating the ongoing pathway to becoming a \u201cClimate Tech Nation\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAs presented in the reports, Israel possesses the capability and the potential to contribute substantially to global efforts against climate change. Increased propagation, adoption and deployment of Israeli climate technologies, both nationally and globally, would further increase Israel\u2019s internal and global contribution to emission reduction commitments and adaptation solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis current 2023 report continues the tradition of providing the most up-to-date depiction of the Israeli climate tech ecosystem. We also initiate the first analysis of Israeli climate-tech innovations\u2019 global deployment, a first step in assessing Israel\u2019s global impact on both mitigation and adaptation across sectors, geographies, natural ecosystems, and populations, and assessing the realization of Israel as a Climate Tech Nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAt the time of this report\u2019s publication, the Israel high-tech sector is adapting to the current security situation and its implications. Among the significant factors contributing to the strength and accomplishments of Israel\u2019s innovation ecosystem is its flexibility and agility. This, together with the cohesiveness of the ecosystem, ensures that the local high-tech sector is forging ahead, even under these circumstances. In particular, Israeli climate-tech, with its dual missions of planetary and economic prosperity, continues to actively advance both these missions along its global value chain, despite any transient challenges that arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContributors:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nPLANETech is a nonprofit climate tech innovation community \u2013 a joint venture of the Israel Innovation Institute and Consensus Business Group.
