Just ahead of our third annual GCV Israel conference, we take a quick look at corporates’ interest in the rich venturing and innovation scene of Israel.

The Israeli innovation scene has had much to offer to corporate investors from around the world. Since 2011, GCV Analytics has tracked 425 rounds with some corporate involvement raised by promising enterprises based in Israel.

There has clearly been an upward trend of corporate-backed funding rounds for Israel-based startups, which evidences the robustness and richness of the country’s innovation scene. Most emerging Israeli businesses that CVC investors from around the world have found attractive came from the IT, health, services and industrial sectors, as shown on the chart.

It is also worth noting that most of those corporate-backed rounds, the corporate venturers have been foreign-based. This shows the top-notch technological talent Israel boasts and which has grabbed the attention of many investors from around the world.

Sign up for our GCV Israel event and meet with your investment peers in Tel Aviv on February 11th.
