Only 162 new startups have been established in Israel so far in 2022 according to the IVC Data and Insights research institution. This is a low number when compared to previous years, with 558 startups being founded in 2021 and 831 in 2020.

According to the IVC, there are currently 9,484 active high-tech companies in Israel, of which more than half are in the stage of initial revenues and revenue growth (annual revenues of over $10 million).

A quarter of the Israeli high-tech companies are active in the IT & enterprise software sector, followed by the internet sector (22%) and life sciences (19%).

The IVC-LeumiTech Israeli Tech Review released in July showed that Israeli companies raised $9.8 billion in the first half of 2022, a decline of 30% compared to the second half of last year. This was still a very impressive sum considering startups raised a total of $10.3 billion in all of 2020.
