Israeli high-tech funding rises to nearly $16 billion in 2025, report says

Israeli high-tech companies raised $15.6 billion in ‍private funding in ​2025, up from $12.2 billion in 2024, Startup Nation Central ⁠said in a report on Monday citing preliminary data.

The tech sector, regarded as one of the largest in the world, accounts for about ‌20% of ‌GDP, 15% of jobs and more than half of Israeli exports. It has proved ‌resilient, despite the war in Gaza, which began in 2023, when total funding was $10 billion. Global giants, such as Nvidia, in 2025 said they would increase their physical and talent presence in Israel. The ​number of funding deals, at 717, ​was the lowest in the last decade, but the ‌deals were ‍higher value. The median private deal, SNC said, ‍reached a record $10 million – up 67% over 2024.
