Israel's start-up ecosystem: What is driving growth in 2026
Israeli tech is drawing larger rounds in 2026 as cyber, AI infrastructure, deep tech and global exits reshape the start-up economy.
In 2026, Israel's start-up economy continued to thrive despite selective growth, with capital returning at a faster pace than deal volume. According to IVC-LeumiTech's H1 review, $7.633 billion was raised in six months, with $4.228 billion raised in Q2 alone, though only 87 transactions took place during that period. The capital is becoming more concentrated among fewer companies. While Israeli tech is growing, the recovery is selective, with larger companies being more selective in their investments.
