Technology companies operating in Tel Aviv raised $14.1 billion in 2025, a 77% increase from the previous year, while exits reached a record $46 billion, according to the city’s latest ecosystem report.

The figures come during a year marked by war and regional instability, yet the data shows continued growth in both investment and corporate activity.

More than 2,600 tech companies are now active in Tel Aviv, alongside 190 multinational corporations, reflecting a 12% increase. During the year, 23 new international R&D centers were established in the city, adding to its expanding global footprint.

Foreign investors played a central role in the funding environment, accounting for 61% of total investment in companies operating in Tel Aviv. The number of venture capital investors active in the ecosystem rose to 422.

The report highlights a shift in focus within the ecosystem toward areas such as artificial intelligence, DeepTech and defense-related technologies. At the same time, some consumer-oriented sectors saw a decline in activity.

The surge in exits was driven by several large transactions, including Google acquiring Wiz for $32 billion and ServiceNow purchasing Armis for $7.75 billion.

Tel Aviv continues to rank among the world’s leading startup ecosystems, with the report placing it fourth globally.

The city’s workforce remains heavily tied to the tech sector, with one in five residents employed in the industry. Tel Aviv University also plays a key role in the ecosystem, ranking seventh worldwide in producing founders of venture-backed companies.
