Interest in Israeli technology companies remained strong this year, despite ongoing conflict in the region. According to PwC Israel, investments, acquisitions, and public listings in the sector rose sharply, led by Alphabet’s $32 billion purchase of Israeli cybersecurity firm Wiz. The consultancy said the appetite for Israeli innovation has not weakened.
PwC reported that the total value of tech deals jumped by 340 per cent to nearly $59 billion, compared to $13.4 billion last year. Even without the Wiz deal, transactions still doubled in value to about $32 billion, showing broad investor confidence in Israeli technology firms.
The report also highlighted strong activity in the stock market, with seven Israeli tech companies going public this year at a combined valuation of $14.6 billion. This is a major increase from 2024, when six IPOs were valued at just $781 million. Large acquisitions also featured prominently, including billion-dollar deals involving fintech firms such as Next Insurance and Melio.
While medium-sized deals declined, PwC noted growth in both small and very large transactions. Commenting on the trend, PwC Israel partner Yaron Weizenbluth said that even though some entrepreneurs have moved operations abroad, Israeli companies still depend heavily on local talent. He added that Israel’s tech sector has shown a strong ability to adapt, with huge potential for future growth.
